典型例题及解析

字体:16+-

[例1]______delicious food you have cooked!

A.How a B.How C.What a D.What

【解析】答案D。不定冠词表示数量,类似“一”,修饰单数可数名词。不可数名词前不可用a、an修饰。在感叹句“What a/an+adj+n+(主+谓)!”结构中,名词必是单数可数名词。若是不可数名词应用“What+adj+n+(主+谓)!”结构。句中food是不可数名词,故选D。

[例2](1)We always have______rice for______lunch.

A./;/ B.the;/ C./;a D.the;the

(2)It’s half past four in the afternoon.The students are playing______basketball now.

A./ B.an C.a D.the

【解析】下列情况不用任何冠词:1)专用名词(John、England)、物质名词(food,rice,water)等前;2)一日三餐的名词前;3)在表示球类运动的名词前。因此第(1)小题正确答案应为A;第(2)小题答案为A。

[例3]—What’ s the matter with you?

—I caught______bad cold and had to stay in______bed.

A.a;/ B.a;the C.a;a D.the;the

【解析】答案A。本题考查冠词的用法和习惯表达。躺在**译为stay in bed,而感冒译为catch cold或catch a cold,但cold有形容词修饰时则a不可省略。

[例4]Paper money was in______use in China when Marco Polo visited the country in______thirteenth century.

A.the;/ B.the;the C./;the D./;/

【解析】答案C。题中in use是固定搭配,意为“在使用”,use为抽象名词,其前不用冠词。后者是序数词前用定冠词the。要牢记一些固定搭配如in use、under construction(在建设中)、in debt(欠债)、come to power(执政)、on fire(着火)、at table(用餐)、out of work(失业),at dawn(在黎明),at dust(在黄昏)等。

[例5]______books must be produced for the children.

A.Two thousands B.Two thousands of

C.Two thousand of D.Two thousand
