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(méi)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(wú)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)!,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(jiǎn)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。
