化难为易之冠词

时间:2022-10-11 09:04:31

一、冠词的泛指与特指

难点:不是所有名词有定语修饰时都是特指,这是错误的。有时候,名词前面有修饰语时,往往表示的是类指,即表示这个人或事物是属于哪一类。

【典例1】Experts think that recently discovered painting may be Picasso.

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

解析:D 第一空表示特指最近发现的那幅画,第二空表示泛指可能是一副毕加索的画。

二、比较级和最高级前冠词的选择

【典例2】To find better job, he decided to study second foreign language.

A. the; a B. a; a

C. the; the D. a; the.

【典例3】——Of the two apples, which one do you prefer?

—— bigger one. It’s most delicious one, I think.

A. The; a B. The; the

C. A; / D. A; the

【典例4】This area experienced heaviest snowstorm in month of November.

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

【典例5】——Kitty has put forward most challenging question for us to answer.

——Yes, it really is. I have never heard harder one.

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

答案:B A C D

归纳:①a/ an+比较级:比……更……的一个

②the+比较级:两者中较……的一个

③the+最高级:三者或是三者以上中最……的一个

④a most+形容词:很……,非常……

三、独一无二的事物名词前的冠词使用

【典例6】There are over 58000 rocky objects in space, about 900 of which could fall down onto earth.

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

解析:B 有些考生可能认为这两空都应该填定冠词。其实,in space为固定用法,而earth为独一无二的名词,其前必须用定冠词。

拓展:at the same time同时;in the dark在黑暗中,全然不知;in the least一点,丝毫;in the long run从长远来看;on the whole大体上;on the contrary与此相反;by the hour按小时计算;all the year round一年到头。

点拨:解答此类题的关键是看这类名词前是否有描绘性的修饰语存在。没有一般用定冠词,有就用不定冠词。

【典例7】——Wouldn’t it be wonderful world, if all nations lived in peace with one another?

——What a pleasure to live in such a world!

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

解析:C in peace with“与……和睦相处”,它是习惯搭配。world前有个形容词wonderful,故用不定冠词。
