二、精典名題導(dǎo)解
選擇填空
1.The warmth of ____________sweater will of course be determined by the sort of ___________wool used.（NMET 2001）
A．The ; the B．the ; / C．/; the D．/; /
解析：答案為B。第一空格為特指，交待the warmth的內(nèi)容，第二空格為泛指，the sort of wool used所用羊毛的種類。此題有三點(diǎn)需注意：①正確理解sweater 這一句詞在句中的類別。②掌握determine在句中作“決定”、“取決于”這個(gè)意思。③掌握定冠詞表特指的基本用法。
2.Most animals have little connection with_________animals of___________different kind unless they kill them for food.（NMET 2000）
A．the … a B．/ … a C．the … the D．/ … the
解析：答案為B。名詞復(fù)數(shù)表類別，其前不用冠詞，故第一個(gè)空格不填冠詞，表不定概念的“一種”，“某種”要用不定冠詞a。要準(zhǔn)確掌握冠詞表類別的三種表達(dá)方式和不定冠詞常用的幾種情況，見前面要點(diǎn)考點(diǎn)聚
焦內(nèi)容。
3.Paper money was in___________use in China when Marco Polo visited the country in __________thirteenth century.（NMET1999）
A．the … / B．the … the C．/ … the D．/ … /
解析：答案為C。題中in use是固定搭配，意為“在使用”，use為抽象名詞，其前不用冠詞。后者是序數(shù)詞前用定冠詞the。要牢記一些固定搭配如in use、under construction（在建設(shè)中）、in debt（欠債）、come to power（執(zhí)政）、on fire（著火）、at table（用餐）、out of work（失業(yè)）等。
