一、单句填空
1.(2015•浙江,2改编)jane's grandmother had wanted to write ________ children's book for many years, but one thing or another always got in ________ way.
答案:a;the 句意:简的祖母多年来一直想写一本儿童读物,但是一件接一件的事情总是妨碍她写书。children's book的中心词是单数可数名词且第一次出现,并且此处表泛指,故其前需加不定冠词;in the way为固定搭配,意为“挡道,碍事”。
2.(2014•新课标ⅰ,63)now, years later, this river is one of ________ most outstanding examples of environmental cleanup.
答案:the 形容词最高级前用定冠词。句意:现在,数年之后,这条河是环境保护最典型的例子之一。空格后部分的中心词是名词examples,再由one of...可知,这里的most表示比较意义;形容词最高级前用定冠词the。
3.(2014•广东,23改编)she apologized for the mistake and gave us a spare vip room on ________ top floor.
答案:the top“顶端的,最高的”,只修饰名词,前面用定冠词。on the top floor “在顶楼”。
4.(2014•天津,8改编)life is like ________ ocean: only ________ strong-willed can reach the other shore.
答案:an;the 第一个空表示泛指,且ocean以元音音素开头,故用不定冠词an;形容词前用定冠词表示一类人,the strong-willed意为“意志坚强的人”。
5.(2014•浙江,2改编)the paper is due next month, and i am working seven days ________ week, often long into________night.
答案:a;the seven days a week意为“整个星期,一周七天”,long into the night意为“直到深夜”,是固定短语。
6.(2014•重庆,6改编)i can't tell you ________ way to the wilson's because we don't have ________ wilson here in the village.
答案:the;a way后有介词短语作定语,表特指,所以第一空填定冠词the;泛指“一个名叫wilson的人”,第二空填不定冠词a。
7.(2014•陕西,19改编)________ village where i was born has grown into ________ town.
答案:the;a village后有定语从句修饰,是特指,故第一空填定冠词;泛指“一座城镇”,故第二空填不定冠词a。
