◆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, aB. an, an C. a, anD. 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它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 5. “Have you seen _____ pen? I left it here this morning.” “Is it _____ black one? I think I saw it somewhere.” A. a, the B. the, the C. a, a D. the, a 【陷阱】误选A，生搬硬套冠词用法规则：第一次提到某人或某事物用不定冠词，第二次再提到该人或该事物时用定冠词。 【分析】最佳答案为C。第一空填a，比较好理解；而第二空填a是因为此句中的one 并非指前面提到的 pen，即这里的 one 与前面的 pen 并非同一事物，这从后面一句的 I think I saw it somewhere 可以清楚地知道。请比较下面一题： “Have you seen _____ pen? I left it here this morning.” “Is it _____ black one? I found it in the corner.” A. a, the B. the, the C. a, a D. the, a 此题的最佳答案是 A不是C。请注意其后 I found it in the corner这一信息，它表明说明者是拿着笔在与对方说话。请再看一个类似的例子： “Have you seen _______ new bike? I put it here just now.” “Is it _______ white one? A boy has ridden it away.” A. a; a B. a; the C. the; the D. the; a 此题答案选A，注意其后的 A boy has ridden it away 表明自行车已不在说话者身旁。 6. My friend Mary is _____ beautiful girl and _____ girl everyone likes to work with. A. a, a B. a, the C. the, aD. the, the 【陷阱】很容易误选B，认为第一次提到 girl 用不定冠词，第二次提到就应该用定冠词。 【分析】最佳答案为A。句中第二次提到 girl 时并不是特指的，此句实为一省略句，补充完整为 My friend Mary is a beautiful girl and she is a girl everyone likes to work with. 请再做以下试题(答案选A)： (1) Jim is _______ brave boy and _______ boy never fearing anything. A. a, a B. a, the C. the, a D. the, the (2) It is really _______ useful dictionary and _______ dictionary every one of us needs. A. a, a B. a, the C. the, a D. the, the
