【答案与解析】

1. A。information 是不可数名词，排除 B 和 D。have a word with(和某人谈一下)是固定短语。

2. D。两空均为泛指，用不定冠词。

3. C。in use(在使用中)是固定词组; 第二空是在序数词前加 the，指第13世纪。

4. B。animals 是名词复数表示泛指，不用冠词; kind 是单数可数名词，用 a 表示泛指。此题出自NMET1996中阅读理解C篇的第1句话：Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind unless they hunt them for food.

5. C。airplane 和 experience(经历)都是单数可数名词，表示泛指，因此，要加不定冠词。句意为：从一万英尺高的飞机里跳出来是一次非常激动人心的经历。

6. B。fire 不是特指时不用冠词; red button 是特指，用 the。句意为：那块牌子上写着：“万一失火，就打碎这块玻璃，按那个红色按钮。”

7. D。在表示职业身份的名词前用不定冠词，university 虽以元音字母开头，但读音却以辅音开始，因此用 a。又如，a useful book, a European boy, a one-eyed man 等。physics 是学科名词，前面不用冠词。

8. D。表示“(两者中)较…的那一个”时，用“the+比较级”。

9. D。表示在几十年代，在以 ty 结尾的复数基数词前加 the; 表示在某人几十多岁时，用 one’s 加以 ty 结尾的复数基数词。

10. C。表示打/抓/拍某人的某个部位时，习惯上在部位名称前加the。
