第三章 冠词
冠词是一种虚词,本身不能单独使用,通常放在一个名词的前面,帮助说明该名词的词义。 冠词有两种： 定冠词和不定冠词。高考试题中对冠词的考查主要从以下几个方面：
一、a/an与the的区别
不定冠词主要用在单数可数名词前表示泛指,包括a、an两种形式,a用于辅音音素开头的名词前面,an用于元音音素开头的名词前面。例如：a telephone, a drawer, an advertisement, an aeroplane。the多用于特指的单数名词、复数名词或不可数名词之前。
教你巧学巧记：
初学英语的同学，往往把不定冠词a和an混用，你可用这样一句话记住他们的用法:不见原因(元音)，别施“恩 (n)”。如：
一位老师a teacher
一位英语老师an English teacher
一个男人a man
一位老人an old man
如果你再能再记住下面这句话，你就能顺利闯过这个难关。
Mr Li has one fox.(李先生有一只狐狸。) 这句话囊括了字母表里前面用不定冠词an的所有字母——假若这些字母作为一个独立的单词使用的话。这些字母是:a,e,f,h,i,l,m,n,o,r,s,x。除这些字母外，其余的字母前面就用不定冠词a。
二、a/an的使用特例
⑴一些表示情感的不可数名词，如feeling,honour,joy,pity,pleasure,surprise等，在表示一种心理情感时(前面多有一个描绘性的形容词)，需加不定冠词。
⑵不可数名词danger,difficulty,disappointment,failure,help,success,wonder等，在表示“一种……人或物”时，前面加不定冠词。例如：
①He is a success.他取得了成功。(他是一个成功者。)
②The meeting is a success.会议取得了成功。(这是一次成功的会议。)
⑶不可数名词education,history,knowledge,population,time,world等，在表述其某一部分或某一方面的内容、概念时，前面常加不定冠词(have a history/ knowledge/ population...可视为固定搭配)。
⑷物质名词coffee,food,tea,fog,rain,snow,wind等，在表示“一种”或“一场”的意义(常有形容词修饰)时，前面要加不定冠词。例如：
a black tea(一种红茶) a heavy rain(一场大雨)
⑸具有动作意义的抽象名词在与动词have,take,make,give,let out等构成短语表示一种短暂性的动作时，此抽象名词前的冠词一般不可缺少。常见的这类短语有：
①have a look/walk/rest/test/try/bath/break
take a look/walk/swim/rest/bath
give a laugh/smile/shout/talk/whistle
⑹在同源宾语中，与动词“同源”的名词前一般要加不定冠词。例如：
die a...death;dream a...dream;fight a...battle;have a...sleep; have/ lead/ live a...life; smile a...smile
⑺含有不定冠词的习语或结构
1）与时间和方式有关的：
a moment ago;after a while/moment/minute;for a time;half an hour;in a while/ moment/ minute; in an instant;just a minute/moment;once in a while;once upon a time;three meals a day;twice a week
all of sudden;as a result;as a rule;as a matter of;in a...way;in a hurry;in a loud/low voice;in a word;with a...hand;with a smile
2）与一些常用动词构成的搭配：
catch(a)cold;do a good deed;get a cold;get in a word;give a concert/lesson;go out for a walk;have a cold/cough/fever/headache/pain;have a good time;have a match/meeting;make a face;make an effort;make a living;make a living;make a mistake;make a noise;make a speech;make a start;make an apology;make it a rule;pay a visit;take a seat;take a message for;take an interest in;keep an eye on;lend sb. a hand
［注意］由于make a face/mistake等词组中的名词是可数的，因而它们也有其复数形式make faces/mistakes等，但也有结构习惯上只仅以复数形式出现。
三、不定冠词a(n)的特殊位置
不定冠词a(an)用于单数可数名词之前，如果名词之前有形容词则位于形容词之前，如a room,a big room。但有时它的位置特殊，其常见情况如下：
1．当名词被many,half,such,what等词修饰时，不定冠词放在这些词之后。例如：
Many a man has tried.
We left in such a hurry that we forgot to lock the door.
I have waited for half an hour.
What a beautiful girl she is!
2．当名词前面的形容词有how,however,so,as,too等副词修饰时，不定冠词置于形容词之后。例如：
He is as good a teacher as you.
So clever a man as he is,he can’t be cheated.
This is too small a hat for him.
How beautiful a girl she is!
3．当单数可数名词前的形容词被quite修饰时，不定冠词放在quite之后。例如：
Today is quite a hot day!
注意：rather修饰形容词时，a/an可放在rather前，也可放在rather之后。例如：
Swimming became rather a popular exercise.
He came after a rather long time.
四、the的使用场合
⑴特指双方都清楚的内容时，名词（无论何种名词）前面常加the(如前面的考题1、2)。
⑵一些与天文、地理有关的名词前习惯上常加the。
比较：in the universe/sky,但：in space/heaven等。
⑶表示类属的单数名词前加the。
⑷有普通名词构成的专有名词前常加the。
⑸乐器名词前要加the。
⑹序数词和形容词最高级前常加the。
［注意］表达分数的序数词前不加the。
另外，序数词前也可加不定冠词，表达在原基础上“又一”的内涵。试比较：
the third 第三 a third 又一个/次（原已有两个/次）
⑺姓氏复数名词前加the表示夫妻两人或一家人。
⑻在强调（或暗含）“两者中较……”意义的句型中，比较级前加the。
⑼the more...the more...句型中的the不可省略（注：实际上，此句型中the是副词）。
⑽在“beat/hit/knock/pat/strike sb.+in/on the+部位”及“catch/ grasp/ pull/ take/ seize sb.+by the+部位”的句型中或在“be blind/wounded/hurt…in the+部位” 的句型中，the一般不删不换。
①A bullet hit the soldier and he was wounded in______leg.
A.a B.one C.the D.his
Keys:C
②He hit Bob on the nose.
③The policeman caught the thief by the arm.
④The camel was lame in the left foot.
⑾年代名词前常加the。
in the 1990s;in the year 1998,但：in 1998
⑿“the+adj.”结构表达一类人或物时，the一般不可缺少。这类形容词常见的有：dead,old,living,poor,rich,sick,wounded等。例如：
The sick are taken good care of in this hospital.
⒀在某些表示山脉、群岛、河流、海洋、报纸、杂志、大建筑物、朝代、时代、政党等专有名词前，要用定冠词。如：
the Changjiang River 长江 the Atlantic 大西洋
the Times 时代周刊 the Great Wall 长城
the Great Hall of people 人民大会堂 the Communist Party of China 中国共产党
the Warring States Period 战国时代
⒁含有the的习语或结构

What's the population/height/length/weight of...
［注意］定冠词的倒置
1．当定冠词与all,half,both,double等词连用，修饰名词时，定冠词要放在这些词之后。例如：
Lend me all the books you have.
Both the windows are not open.
We walked half the journey.
The car runs at double the speed.
2．当定冠词与表示倍数、分数的词连用时，需要放在这些词之后。例如：
The room is three times the size of that one.
This stick is two-thirds the length of that one.
3．当much,exactly等词修饰same时，the放在这些词之后。例如：
You talked much the same as she did.
Both of them have exactly the same suitcase.
教你巧学巧记：
定冠词“the”在英语中使用率很高，然而它的用法却较难掌握。有些词前要加定冠词，有些却不要用，其基本用法就是特指某(些))人或某(些)事物。除此而外，还有许多地方都必须要用“the”。为了便于记忆，可以利用下面的两段顺口溜:
一、使用定冠词口诀
沙漠、河流与群山，
列岛、海峡与海湾，
阶级、党派、国家名，
组织团体和机关，
方位、朝代、独一词，
会议、文件及报刊，
木器、建筑、海洋群，
定冠词来不能删。
注:以上情况需使用定冠词。
二、冠词省略口诀
泛指复数日三餐
球类运动季节前@
星期月份节假日，
抽象物质或习惯。
注:1.以上情况省略冠词。
2.农历的节假日需用定冠词。
3.泛指单数可数名词前用不定冠词。
五、零冠词的使用
⑴具有单纯意义的专有名词前不用冠词。例如：
China;Beijing;New York;Mr Smith
⑵泛指意义的复数名词前不用冠词。
⑶单纯表示三餐、四季、球类或棋类方面的名词前不用冠词。例如：
①We often have lunch at 12:00.
②I don't like playing football,but I like playing chess.
比较：a quick breakfast;all through the winter;during the summer;in the winter of 1999
⑷学科名词前一般不加冠词。
比较：He likes English.
The English language is not so easy to master.
What's the English for “电脑”？
⑸ 以基数词形式表达序数时，不加冠词，即“名词+基数词”=“the+序数词+名词”。例如：
He is a student of________.
A.Class First B.the Class One C.Class One D.First Class
比较：Class One=the First Class;World War II=the Second World War
⑹含day的节日名词前不用冠词。
⑺具有单纯意义的物质名词或抽象名词前一般不用冠词。
容易错的这类零冠词名词有：fun, music, nature, poverty, progress, society, weather...
另外，还需注意：有些名词不能与a/an一起使用，但在特指时可以根据情况与the一起使用，最具代表性的这类词有：advice, beauty, experience, homework, housework, work, information, news, practice, room, research...
⑻在一些单数名词前，有时习惯上也不加冠词。需要同学们特别留意的有以下五种情况：
①单数名词前已有指示代词、物主代词修饰时，不再加冠词。例如：
(误)My a friend came to see me last week.
(正)My friend/A friend of mine came to see me last week.
②表示独一无二的职位、官衔的名词，如captain,chairman,head,president等，在句中作表语、同位语或补足语时，多不加冠词。例如：
He is head of the English Department.(系主任只有一个)
He is a teacher of the English Department.(教师不只是一位)
③但man, mankind表示“人类”；word表示“消息”或“通知”时，习惯上不加冠词。例如：
(误)The man will conquer nature.
(正)Man will conquer nature.
(误)The word came that I was wanted on the phone.
(正)Word came that I was wanted on the phone.
④系动词 turn后通常接零冠词单数名词。例如：
(误)One of the boys turned a thief.
(正)One of the boys turned thief/became a thief.
⑤由as/though引导的倒装结构中，习惯上使用零冠词单数名词。例如：
(误)A child as/though he is,he knows a lot.
(正)Child as/though he is,he knows a lot.
(正)Though/Although he is a child, he knows a lot.

by bus/bike/boat/plane/spaceship,etc.

⑶单纯表示三餐、四季、球类或棋类方面的名词前不用冠词。例如：
①We often have lunch at 12:00.
②I don't like playing football,but I like playing chess.
比较：a quick breakfast;all through the winter;during the summer;in the winter of 1999
⑷学科名词前一般不加冠词。
比较：He likes English.
The English language is not so easy to master.
What's the English for “电脑”？
⑸ 以基数词形式表达序数时，不加冠词，即“名词+基数词”=“the+序数词+名词”。例如：
He is a student of________.
A.Class First B.the Class One C.Class One D.First Class

另外，还需注意：有些名词不能与a/an一起使用，但在特指时可以根据情况与the一起使用，最具代表性的这类词有：advice, beauty, experience, homework, housework, work, information, news, practice, room, research...
⑻在一些单数名词前，有时习惯上也不加冠词。需要同学们特别留意的有以下五种情况：

(正)My friend/A friend of mine came to see me last week.

He is head of the English Department.(系主任只有一个)
He is a teacher of the English Department.(教师不只是一位)
③但man, mankind表示“人类”；word表示“消息”或“通知”时，习惯上不加冠词。例如：
(误)The man will conquer nature.
(正)Man will conquer nature.
(误)The word came that I was wanted on the phone.
(正)Word came that I was wanted on the phone.
④系动词 turn后通常接零冠词单数名词。例如：
(误)One of the boys turned a thief.
(正)One of the boys turned thief/became a thief.
⑤由as/though引导的倒装结构中，习惯上使用零冠词单数名词。例如：
(误)A child as/though he is,he knows a lot.
(正)Child as/though he is,he knows a lot.
(正)Though/Although he is a child, he knows a lot.

by bus/bike/boat/plane/spaceship,etc.
