1. “Do you know________English for ‘帅哥’?” “I’m afraid I don’t. I’m not interested in________English language.”
A. the;theB. the;不填 C. 不填;the
D. 不填;不填
【易误分析】 容易误选D,因为表示语言的名词前通常不用冠词。
【名师指津】 最佳答案为A。在英语中,表示语言的名词前通常不用冠词,但在某些特殊情况下可用冠词。如:
(1) 当语言名词表特指意义,其前可用定冠词。如:
The English spoken in America and Canada is a little different from that spoken in England. 美国和加拿大讲的英语与英国讲的英语有点不同。
(2) 当语言名词表示某一语言中的对应词时,其前要用定冠词。如:
What’s the English for this? 这个东西用英语怎么说?
(3) 当在语言名词后加上 language一词时,也要用冠词。如:
There have been many changes in the history of the English language. 英语发展过程中有很多变革。
2. I couldn’t remember the exact date of the storm, but I knew it was________Sunday because everybody was at________church
A. a;the
B. a;不填
C. 不填;a
D. 不填;不填
【易误分析】 容易误选D,因为星期名词前不加冠词;而 at church 表示在教堂里做礼拜,其中也不用冠词。
【名师指津】 最佳答案为B。确实,在通常情况下星期名词前不用冠词,但在某些特殊情况下还是可以用冠词的,如表示特指,其前可用定冠词;表示“某一个”或受描绘性定语修饰表示“某种”这样的意义等,其前可用不定冠词。如:
He came on the Sunday and went away on the Monday. 他星期日来,星期一就走了。
My birthday happened to be on a Saturday. 我的生日碰巧是星期六。
3. Which person do you refer to, the one with________long hair or the one with________long beard?
A. a;a
B. 不填;不填
C. a;不填
D. 不填;a
【易误分析】 误选A或B,认为hair(头发)和beard(胡须)性质和用法应该差不多,要么都可数,要么都不可数,或者说要么都用不定冠词,要么都不用。
【名师指津】 最佳答案选D。hair 和 beard 在用法上并不完全相同:hair 可用作可数或不可数名词,用作可数名词时,指一根一根的毛发或头发,如说 There’s a hair in my soup .(我的汤里有根头发);用作不可数名词(集合名词)时,则是整体地指一个人的头发。比较:
He has gray hairs. 他有几根白发了。
He has gray hair. 他满头白发了。
而beard 则通常只用作可数名词,且指的是一个人所有的胡须,而不是指一根胡须,它的复数形式,通常是指多个人的胡须,而不是指多根胡须,如:
He no longer wears a beard. 他不再留胡须。
Not all men grow beards. 并不是所有的男人都留胡须。
4. “May I take your order now?”“ We’d like three black________and two green________.”
A. coffee, cups of teas
B. coffees, teas
C. cups of coffee, tea
D. cup of coffees, teas
【易误分析】 误选C,认为coffee和tea均为不可数名词,不能后加复数词尾s,从而排除选项A、B、D。
【名师指津】 选B。有的同学认为 coffee 和tea是物质名词,不可数,不能用 three coffees, two teas 这样的表达。其实,coffee既可用作不可数名词,表示“咖啡”这种物质,也可用作可数名词,表示“一杯咖啡”,即在口语中 three coffees 就等于 three cups of coffee。同样,“三杯茶”既可说成 three cups of tea,也可说成 three teas;“三杯啤酒”既可说成 three glasses of beer,也可说成 three beers。
【方法技巧】
冠词
1. 平时熟记定冠词、不定冠词和零冠词的用法,做题时仔细分析所表达的意义。
2. 熟悉一些名词的用法,和冠词结合。有很多不可数名词,有时候被具体化的情况,也是考查的重点。
3. 多做练习,能够提高熟悉语境的能力,很多考题是要和语境相联系起来考查的,这方面一定要重视
