本期重點(diǎn)：冠詞

冠詞主要考查不定冠詞和定冠詞的混淆。還有的是考查一些固定搭配，例如on the other hand, for instance / example（中間沒有an）等。

考點(diǎn)解析：

例1：With occasional breaks for war, the rates of death
and infection in the Europe and America dropped steadily S5._________
through the 19th and 20th centuries.

解析：定冠詞the通常表示特指。Europe是專有名詞，無需加定冠詞特指。

例2：Their experiments have shown that reading disorders
are most likely the result of what is, in an effect, faulty wiring S3. __________
in the brain—not laziness, stupidity or a poor home environment.

解析：in effect / fact是固定搭配，表示陳述事實(shí)，意為“事實(shí)上，實(shí)際上”。

例3：Most American businesses are open five days a week. American
school children attend the school five days a week as well 2._________

解析：attend school意為“上學(xué)”，而不是特指“學(xué)�！保�所以將the 去掉。相類似的詞還有g(shù)o to bed, in hospital（住院），in the hospital（在醫(yī)院）等。

例4：Every week hundreds of CVs(簡歷) land on our desks.
We’ve seen it all: CVs printed on pink paper, CVs that are 10
pages long and CVs with silly mistakes in first paragraph. A S1 __________

解析：表示“第幾”時(shí)，在序數(shù)詞前面要加上定冠詞the。但是如果把名詞paragraph，lesson等詞放在基數(shù)詞前則不需加定冠詞，例如lesson one等。
