典型例题及解析

[例1]______delicious food you have cooked!

A.How a B.How C.What a D.What

【解析】答案D。不定冠词表示数量,类似“一”,修饰单数可数名词。不可数名词前不可用a、an修饰。在感叹句“What a/an+adj+n+(主+谓)!”结构中,名词必是单数可数名词。若是不可数名词应用“What+adj+n+(主+谓)!”结构。句中food是不可数名词,故选D。

[例2](1)We always have______rice for______lunch.

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

(2)It’s half past four in the afternoon.The students are playing______basketball now.

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

【解析】下列情况不用任何冠词:1)专用名词(John、England)、物质名词(food,rice,water)等前;2)一日三餐的名词前;3)在表示球类运动的名词前。因此第(1)小题正确答案应为A;第(2)小题答案为A。

[例3]—What’ s the matter with you?

—I caught______bad cold and had to stay in______bed.

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

【解析】答案A。本题考查冠词的用法和习惯表达。躺在**译为stay in bed,而感冒译为catch cold或catch a cold,但cold有形容词修饰时则a不可省略。

[例4]Paper money was in______use in China when Marco Polo visited the country in______thirteenth century.

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

【解析】答案C。题中in use是固定搭配,意为“在使用”,use为抽象名词,其前不用冠词。后者是序数词前用定冠词the。要牢记一些固定搭配如in use、under construction(在建设中)、in debt(欠债)、come to power(执政)、on fire(着火)、at table(用餐)、out of work(失业),at dawn(在黎明),at dust(在黄昏)等。

[例5]______books must be produced for the children.

A.Two thousands B.Two thousands of

C.Two thousand of D.Two thousand

We’ve planted______trees in the centre of our city this year.

A.hundred B.Two hundreds

C.hundred of D.hundreds of

【解析】答案均为 D。本题考查数词的用法。当 thousand或 hundred作数词时,前面一般加数来修饰,其本身没有数的变化,且后不跟of。当它们作名词时,其复数形式为thousands和hundreds,且构成thousands of和hundreds of,后接可数名词的复数形式。

[例6]About______of the workers in the clothes factory are women.

A.third fifths B.third fifth

C.three fifths D.three fifth

【解析】答案C。此题主要考查英语的分数表示法。分子用基数词,分母用序数词。当分子大于1时,分母的序数词后需加“s”。如:1/3 one third;2/3 two thirds.通过分析A、B、D三项均错,答案为C。

[例7]July is______month of the year.

A.seven B.the seventh C.eight D.the eighth

【解析】答案B。序数词用来表示数目的顺序,七月份是一年中的第七个月,第七个月的正确表达为the seventh month,所以此题的正确答案为B。

[例8]My favorite is getting stamps.I need______before I have 2500 ones.

A.more one B.any more C.one more D.more than

【解析】答案C。此题考查数词与more相结合的用法,数词+more表示还有(要)。
