高中英语 语法陷阱题800-冠词

典型陷阱题分析

1. “Do you know ______ English for ‘帅哥’?” “I’m afraid I don’t. I’m not interested in _______ English language.”

A. the, the                                                B. the, 不填

C. 不填, the                                             D. 不填, 不填

【陷阱】容易误选D,因为表示语言的名词前通常不用冠词。

【分析】最佳答案为A。在英语中,表示语言的名词前通常不用冠词,但在某些特殊情况下可用冠词。如:

(1) 当语言名词表特指意义,其前可用定冠词。如:

The English spoken in America and Canada is a little different from that spoken in England. 美国和加拿大讲的英语与英国讲的英语有点不同。

(2) 当语言名词表示某一语言中的对应词时,其前要用定冠词。如:

What’s the English for this? 这个东西用英语怎么说?

(3) 当在语言名词后加上 language一词时,也要用冠词。如:

There have been many changes in the history of the English language. 英语发展过程中有很多变革。

2. I couldn’t remember the exact date of the storm, but I knew it was ______ Sunday because everybody was at ______ church.

A. a, the                                                   B. a, 不填

C. 不填, a                                                D. 不填, 不填

【陷阱】容易误选D,因为星期名词前不加冠词;而 at church 表示在教堂里做礼拜,其中也不用冠词。

【分析】最佳答案为B。确实,在通常情况下星期名词前不用冠词,但在某些特殊情况下还是可以用冠词的,如表示特指,其前可用定冠词;表示“某一个”或受描绘性定语修饰表示“某种”这样的意义等,其前可用不定冠词。如:

He came on the Sunday and went away on the Monday. 他星期日来,星期一就走了。

My birthday happened to be on a Saturday. 我的生日碰巧是星期六。

3. Which person do you refer to, the one with ______ long hair or the one with _______ long beard?

A. a, a                                                      B. 不填,不填

C. a, 不填                                                D. 不填,a

【陷阱】误选A或B,认为hair(头发)和beard(胡须)性质和用法应该差不多,要么都可数,要么都不可数,或者说要么都用不定冠词,要么都不用。

【分析】最佳答案选D。hair 和 beard 在用法上并不完全相同:hair 可用作可数或不可数名词,用作可数名词时,指一根一根的毛发或头发,如说 There’s a hair in my soup (我的汤里有根头发);用作不可数名词(集合名词)时,则是整体地指一个人的头发。比较:

He has gray hairs. 他有几根白发了。

He has gray hair. 他满头白发了。

而beard 则通常只用作可数名词,且指的是一个人所有的胡须,而不是指一根胡须,它的复数形式,通常是指多个人的胡须,而不是指多根胡须,如:

He no longer wears a beard. 他不再留胡须。

Not all men grow beards. 并不是所有的男人都留胡须。

4. I once watched _______ one-act play, which was played by _______ 11-year-old boy.

A. a, a                                                      B. an, an

C. a, an                                                    D. an, a

【陷阱】几个干扰均有可能误选。

【分析】最佳答案填C。第一空填 a,因为 one-act 的的第一个音是辅音不是元音;第二空填an,是因为 11的英文是 eleven的第一个音是元音不是辅音。类似以下各题的答案是 C 不是其他:

(1) Before he was arrested, he had taken _______ one-month holiday, and stayed in the country with ________ 18-year-old girl, one of his students.

A. a, a                                                      B. an, an

C. a, an                                                    D. an, a

(2) We hired _______ one-eyed man to play in our film, and we gave him _______ 100-pound check for just one minute.

A. a, an                                                    B. an, a

C. a, a                                                      D. an, an
