答 案
1.【答案】B 句意为“去上海欣赏世博会带给人们的快乐,是一个非常好的感觉。”feeling作为感觉讲为可数名词。pleasure作为“快乐,欢乐”讲为不可数名词,因此选B项。
2.【答案】A 第一空,“来自社会各阶层的人”不是特指,不用冠词。第二空,在Jiangsu前有形容词new,因此应加冠词a,表示一个全新的江苏。
3.【答案】C 句意为“如果我们坐在公共汽车的前部,就会有更好的视野。”表示“某空间内部的前部”时,front前要加定冠词the;have a good view是习惯搭配,表示“视野开阔,视野良好”之意;所以C项符合语境。
4.【答案】D most countries此处表泛指,most前不加定冠词the。第二个空处应为“一个高起点的开始”,故用a,正确答案为D。
5.【答案】B 句意为“许多生活方式对人类的健康有害,他们加速了人类身体的衰退。”“对……有害”用短语“do harm to”表示,中间无需冠词;之后的weakening是由动词的-ing形式表示抽象的名词,表达一种概念、状况时需要加上the。
6.【答案】D price意思是“代价”,为可数名词,第二空前边有no,后面的名词不用冠词,故选D项。
7.【答案】B 句意为“别急——从这儿到餐馆只不过短短的距离而已。”a short distance指短距离,是固定搭配的短语;the restaurant指双方都知道的餐馆,故用 the特指。选B。
8.【答案】B 前一句句意为“据说约翰将会有一份年工资超过6万美金的工作,”表时间单位每年,冠词用a。后一句意为“没错,他也将会以每周支付的方式得到薪水。”by后面接具体的计量方式用定冠词the。
9.【答案】D 句意为“专家认为,最近发现的油画可能是毕加索的作品。”the painting特指最近发现的油画;a Picasso意为a Picasso’s painting,指毕加索的一件作品,有one的含义。
10.【答案】C 句意为“众所周知,中华人民共和国是世界上最大的发展中国家。”第一个定冠词the用在表示国家的名词前;第二个定冠词the用在有形容词最高级修饰的名词前。
11.【答案】C 句意为“在交流中,微笑通常是友好和态度开明的一种明显标志。”第一空a strong sign of一个……的标志,a此处表泛指;friendly和open共同修饰attitude,而attitude不可数,不需要冠词;故选C。
12.【答案】C 第一空表示泛指;第二空为固定用法,用定冠词the,故选C项。
13.【答案】C hotels这里表示泛指,用名词复数即可,后一空要注意,是表示“在海边”,by the sea在海边(在海岸上),这里有特指,by sea则是表示使用海上交通工具:乘船,由海路。
14.【答案】A science是不可数名词,在此不用冠词;后面的 factory是一个可数名词,用a表示泛指。
15.【答案】D “山姆已经被指定代替乔治的位子,担当工程部的经理。”在人名、称呼语或头衔的名词前,要用零冠词。后一个空是固定搭配take the(one’s)place…“代替”的意思。
16.【答案】C 第一空process是可数名词,第一次出现一般用不定冠词,且此次表示“一个”的概念;第二空existence是不可数名词,其此处表示抽象概念,故用零冠词。
17.【答案】D 第一空Information Age前加定冠词the为固定用法;第二空根据句意“据说我们正生活在信息时代,一个充满新发现和巨大变化的时代。”用不定冠词。故答案选D。
18.【答案】C 莎拉满意地看着那幅完成的画。第一空貌似可以用泛指。但是,从句子意思上看,只能特指“那幅画”最合理;第二空with satisfaction意为“满意地”是固定短语。
