考点透析 知识清单 考点警示 在语法填空中，冠词的考查是高频考点之一，解题时，如果在名词前设空，(即便是名词前有形容词修饰)，名词前一般都要填入冠词。例如： 1．(2017·广东)“In the beginning，there was only __a__ very small amount of unfairness in the world，but everyone added a little，...” 2．(2017·广东)But she quickly realized that it wasn't her，and it was probably the fact that she sat in __the__ last row. 3．(2011·广东)I sat next to the man and introduced myself.We had __an__ amazing conversation. 4．(2010·广东)A young man，while traveling through a desert，came across a spring of clear water.__The__ water was sweet. 5．(2009·广东)Besides，shopping at this time of the year was not __a__ pleasant experience：people stepped on your feet...
确定要填入冠词后，一定要结合上下文语境，根据冠词的基本用法，填入不定冠词(a或an)，或定冠词(the)，近几年来还没有考查过零冠词，但也要引起考生的注意，不可忽略。 1．冠词的位置
(1)冠词与名词连用，总是置于名词之前，有形容词修饰名词，也置于名词前，如
The potato is a vegetable，not a fruit.
In the train，we found an empty thirdclass carriage.
(2)形容词前有so，as，too，how修饰时，不定冠词a须置于形容词之后、名词之前，如
It was so warm a day that we decided to go to the sea. (3)指示代词such与感叹词what总是置于不定冠词a之前，如： However did you make such a mistake? What a lovely day! (4)副词quite，rather常置于不定冠词a之前。 (5)不定代词all，both和副词double须置于定冠词the之前，如：All the birds were asleep. 考点透析 知识清单 考点警示
