语法精讲——冠词
一、不定冠词
冠词是一种虚词，用在名词或名词词组的前面，表示名词是特指还是泛指。冠词可分为不定冠词和定冠词两种形式。不定冠词有a, an；定冠词有the。其中，a用在发音以辅音开头的名词之前，而an则用在发音以元音开头的名词之前。
(A)不定冠词的用法：
1. 表示某一类人或某事物中的任何一个，经常用在第一次提到某人或某物时，用不定冠词起介绍作用，表示一个。
e.g. I gave him a book yesterday. 我昨天给了他一本书。
I am reading an interesting story. 我在读一则有趣的故事。
2. 表示人或事物的某一种类，强调整体，即以其中的一个代表一类。
e.g. A horse is useful to mankind. 马对人类有用。
3. 不定冠词用在事物的“单位”前，如时间、速度、价格等意义的名词之前，表示“每一”。
e.g. We often go to school two times a day. 我们经常每天去学校两次。
4. 不定冠词用来指某人某物，但不具体说明任何人或任何物。
e.g. A boy came to see you a moment ago. 刚才有一个男孩来找你。
I got this tool in a shop. 我在商店买的这件工具。
5. 不定冠词用于某些词组。
e.g. a few几个（后接可数名词复数） a little有点（后接不可数名词）
She has a few friends in this city. 她在这个城市中有几个朋友。
(B)不定冠词的位置：
不定冠词常位于名词或名词修饰语前。注意：
1. 位于下列形容词之后：such, what, many, half等。
e.g. I have never seen such an animal. 我从没见过这种动物。
Many a man is fit for the job. 很多人适合这份工作。
2. 当名词前的形容词被副词as, so, too, how, however, enough修饰时，不定冠词应放在形容词之后。
e.g. It is as pleasant a day as I have ever spent. 这是我人生中最愉快的一天。
So short a time. 如此短的时间。
Too long a distance. 距离太远。
3. quite, rather与单数名词连用，冠词放在其后。但当rather, quite前仍有形容词时，不定冠词放其前后均可。如：quite a lot。
4. 在as, though引导的让步状语从句中，当主语为形容词修饰名词时，不定冠词放形容词后。
e.g. Brave a man though he is, he trembles at the sight of snakes. 他尽管勇敢，可见到蛇还是发抖。
（当名词被比较级形容词修饰时，不定冠词通常置于比较级形容词之后。）
二、定冠词
(A)定冠词的用法：
1. 定冠词特指某（些）人或某（些）事物，以区别于同类中其他的人或事物。

4. 定冠词与单数名词连用，表示这一类人或物。
e.g. The cat is an animal.猫是一种动物。
The umbrella in the shop is very cheap in this season. 这个季节商店里的雨伞很便宜。
5. 定冠词与某些形容词连用，使形容词名词化，表示某一类人。
the poor the rich the wounded the sick the deaf
e.g. The wounded were brought to the hospital. 受伤者被送到了医院。
6. 用在序数词、形容词最高级和表示方位的名词前。

e.g. All the students in the class went out. 班里的所有学生都出去了。

e.g. He raises a black and a white cat. 他养了一只黑猫和一只白猫。
The black and the white cats are hers. 这只黑猫和那只白猫都是她的。

二、阅读理解
Trying to visit a big city like Los Angeles in just one day is a hard thing to do. But if you only have 24 hours, I have a plan that can help you. This guide will show you where to go and how to get around in L.A．in one day.
To start your day in L.A．, head to Venice Beach. It’s a unique and interesting place, though not everyone will like it. But if you want to experience the free and creative spirit of L.A．, this is the place to be.
The next place of interest that you should check out is the Getty Center, which is located on a hill in the Santa Monica mountains. It is a museum that’s made up of multiple buildings with lots of galleries inside. It has the best and most valuable art collections in L.A．, so it’s definitely worth a visit.
The Chinese Theater is a really cool place in Hollywood. A long time ago, they had a big awards show for movies there. But now, most people come to see the handprints and footprints of Hollywood legends in the cement (水泥) outside. It all started when one of the famous people accidentally stepped in the wet cement when they were building the theater. Instead of fixing it, the owner thought it was a cool idea and asked other famous people to do it too. That’s how it all started.
The Griffith Observatory (天文台) is a really amazing place in Los Angeles. It’s the perfect place to end your day in L.A．If you go there in the evening, you’ll be able to see a beautiful sunset. The observatory is also very pretty, with nice areas to walk around. The best part is that from the terrace (露天平台) of the observatory, you can see the whole valley. If it’s a clear day, you can even see all the way to Santa Monica!
16．Where is a good place to go if you want to experience the free and creative spirit of L.A．in just one day
A．Santa Monica mountains.
B．The Getty Center.
C．Venice Beach.
D．Griffith Observatory.
17．What is the Getty Center in Los Angeles
A．A beach with amazing waves for surfing.
B．A museum with valuable art collections.
C．A popular shopping mall with multiple stores.
D．A famous club that hosts music concerts.
18．What is the importance of the handprints and footprints at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood
A．They represent Hollywood legends who used to work at the theater.
B．They are a symbol of Hollywood’s love for art.
C．They were created accidentally by a famous person.
D．They were created as a way to remember famous people in Hollywood.
19．What does the underlined word “legends” mean
A．演员 B．传奇人物 C．制片人 D．编剧
20．What can you see from the terrace of Griffith Observatory on a clear day
A．The whole valley and even Santa Monica.
B．The entire city of Los Angeles.
C．The Pacific Ocean and its shoreline.
D．The Hollywood Hills and famous celebrity homes.
You can travel alone, with friends, or with a tour group. They all have strong points and weak points.
The best thing about traveling alone is that you can do what you want. No waiting around in places you aren’t interested in, no missing a bus because your friend was late, etc. This may sound selfish, but this is your experience. Your experience will be rich by traveling alone. The main worry of traveling alone is loneliness, and there’s also the problem of safety, especially in some dangerous places.
Traveling with a friend sounds nice, but it depends on how well you get on. If you have similar (相似的) interests or travel ideas, it should be wonderful. You will find it much cheaper to share a room and food. However, a lot of people I meet traveling together don’t seem to have much fun and often go their separate (各自的) ways.
Some of my best travelling memories are with tour groups. The key is the tours go well. Remember, a terrible tour guide (导游), quiet group and terrible food can ruin (毁掉) your time. My advice is never to take part in a group tour that is too long except in countries with safety problems or poor traffic.
All in all, traveling alone is the best, but it is good to try different ways. Invite a friend from home to meet you for a few weeks. Try one or two group tours, and it’s best to start with a one-day one.
21．What does the underlined word “ selfish ” mean in Chinese
A．无情的 B．自私的 C．离奇的 D．严厉的
22．What is the writer’s advice on traveling with friends
A．Living in different rooms.
B．Always following their travel ideas.
C．Having similar interests or travel ideas.
D．Taking more food when traveling.
23．When should people choose a group tour
A．If the tour lasts long. B．If you’re a quiet person.
C．If the country has poor traffic. D．If food is terrible.
24．What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph
A．Always to travel alone. B．To mix our friends up in the tour.
C．To start with a one-week group tour. D．To try different ways of traveling.
25．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the text
A． B． C． D．

四、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。
Chinatown is the name given to an area in the middle of London. It is a large Chinese community with a lot of Chinese restaurants, Chinese supermarkets and shops.
In the 1950s, it was a poor area and everything was very cheap. At the same time, the world rice market changed and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs. They began arriving in London to look for work. They found jobs in the restaurants in this area.
These restaurant workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time to learn English. As more Chinese arrived, more shops and businesses grew. Wives came and joined their husbands and children came and joined their fathers. The community grew, and Chinatown was born.
In the 1970s and 1980s, British-born Chinese started to have a better education and this brought economic (经济的) success to the area. Many families moved out of Chinatown, and there was more space for businesses. Chinatown soon became a popular place for tourists.
Now everyone knows about London’s Chinatown. During the Chinese New Year, the streets are filled with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets. For most of the year, though, Londoners and tourists go there mainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants. The best restaurants are the ones where the Chinese eat.
36．Was Chinatown rich or poor in the 1950s
37．Who came to London to look for jobs in the1950s
38．Why didn’t the restaurant workers have time to learn English
39．When did the British-born Chinese start to have a better education
40．What is the main idea of this story
参考答案：

【详解】句意：我昨天买了个闹钟。它看起来像一只可爱的小鸡。
考查冠词。a一，用于辅音音素开头的单词；an一，用于元音音素开头的单词；the定冠词；/零冠词。“alarm”是元音音素开头的单数名词，所以用an修饰，故选B。
2．A
【详解】句意：——李医生，我牙痛，昨晚没睡着。——你应该先去拍个X光片。
考查冠词辨析。a一，泛指，用于辅音音素开头的单词前；an一，泛指，用于元音音素开头的单词前；the特指。根据“had…toothache”可知，考查短语have a toothache“牙疼”；“X-ray”为元音音素开头的单词，用冠词an表泛指。故选A。
3．C
【详解】句意：桌子上有一块橡皮擦，这是托尼的。
考查冠词。a冠词，表示数量一，用于读音以辅音音素开头的单数可数名词前；the定冠词，表特指；an冠词，表示数量一，用于读音以元音音素开头的单数可数名词前。第一个空格泛指一块橡皮，eraser读音以元音音素/ /开头，用an；第二个空格指前句提到的橡皮，用定冠词the。故选C。
4．B
【详解】
句意：——那是一本书吗？——不，它是一本旧词典。
考查冠词的用法。不定冠词a/an，意为“一”，表示泛指，a用于辅音音素前，an用于元音音素前；定冠词the，意为“这个，那个”，表示特指。分析题干可知，第一空泛指一本书，第二空泛指一本旧词典，都应用不定冠词，book以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a； old以元音音素开头，用不定冠词 an。故选B。
5．B
【详解】句意：杰森是个诚实的男孩，所以我们都相信他。
考查冠词的用法。不定冠词a/an，意为“一”，表示泛指，a用于辅音音素前，an用于元音音素前；定冠词the，意为“这个，那个”，表示特指；/表示不填，零冠词。分析题干可知，此处泛指一个诚实的男孩，应用不定冠词，空后的honest以元音音素开头，所以空格处应填an。故选B。
6．B
【详解】句意：Lynn，这是给你的闹钟。你喜欢吗？
考查冠词用法。clock是单数名词，此处需要用不定冠词表示泛指，alarm首字母发元音音素，应用an。故选B。

考查冠词的用法。a不定冠词，表泛指，用于辅音音素开头的单词或字母前；an不定冠词，表泛指，用于元音音素开头的单词或字母前；the定冠词，表特指。第一空，European是以辅音音素开头的单词，用不定冠词a修饰；第二空Germany，为国家名，是专有名词，其前不用冠词修饰。故选A。
8．C
【详解】句意：英国是一个欧洲国家。它也是一个岛国。

11．D
【详解】句意：妈妈，我正要去市场。你想要什么吗？
考查冠词和不定代词的用法。something某物；everything一切；nothing没有什么；anything任何东西。在英语中，go to the market是固定搭配，表示去市场，所以第一个空应填the，排除AC；第二句是疑问句，应填anything，表示任何东西。故选D。

语法精讲——冠词
一、不定冠词
冠词是一种虚词，用在名词或名词词组的前面，表示名词是特指还是泛指。冠词可分为不定冠词和定冠词两种形式。不定冠词有a, an；定冠词有the。其中，a用在发音以辅音开头的名词之前，而an则用在发音以元音开头的名词之前。
(A)不定冠词的用法：
1. 表示某一类人或某事物中的任何一个，经常用在第一次提到某人或某物时，用不定冠词起介绍作用，表示一个。
e.g. I gave him a book yesterday. 我昨天给了他一本书。
I am reading an interesting story. 我在读一则有趣的故事。
2. 表示人或事物的某一种类，强调整体，即以其中的一个代表一类。
e.g. A horse is useful to mankind. 马对人类有用。
3. 不定冠词用在事物的“单位”前，如时间、速度、价格等意义的名词之前，表示“每一”。
e.g. We often go to school two times a day. 我们经常每天去学校两次。
4. 不定冠词用来指某人某物，但不具体说明任何人或任何物。
e.g. A boy came to see you a moment ago. 刚才有一个男孩来找你。
I got this tool in a shop. 我在商店买的这件工具。
5. 不定冠词用于某些词组。
e.g. a few几个（后接可数名词复数） a little有点（后接不可数名词）
She has a few friends in this city. 她在这个城市中有几个朋友。
(B)不定冠词的位置：
不定冠词常位于名词或名词修饰语前。注意：
1. 位于下列形容词之后：such, what, many, half等。
e.g. I have never seen such an animal. 我从没见过这种动物。
Many a man is fit for the job. 很多人适合这份工作。
2. 当名词前的形容词被副词as, so, too, how, however, enough修饰时，不定冠词应放在形容词之后。
e.g. It is as pleasant a day as I have ever spent. 这是我人生中最愉快的一天。
So short a time. 如此短的时间。
Too long a distance. 距离太远。
3. quite, rather与单数名词连用，冠词放在其后。但当rather, quite前仍有形容词时，不定冠词放其前后均可。如：quite a lot。
4. 在as, though引导的让步状语从句中，当主语为形容词修饰名词时，不定冠词放形容词后。
e.g. Brave a man though he is, he trembles at the sight of snakes. 他尽管勇敢，可见到蛇还是发抖。
（当名词被比较级形容词修饰时，不定冠词通常置于比较级形容词之后。）
二、定冠词

e.g. The cat is an animal.猫是一种动物。

e.g. All the students in the class went out. 班里的所有学生都出去了。

e.g. He raises a black and a white cat. 他养了一只黑猫和一只白猫。
The black and the white cats are hers. 这只黑猫和那只白猫都是她的。

二、阅读理解
Trying to visit a big city like Los Angeles in just one day is a hard thing to do. But if you only have 24 hours, I have a plan that can help you. This guide will show you where to go and how to get around in L.A．in one day.
To start your day in L.A．, head to Venice Beach. It’s a unique and interesting place, though not everyone will like it. But if you want to experience the free and creative spirit of L.A．, this is the place to be.
The next place of interest that you should check out is the Getty Center, which is located on a hill in the Santa Monica mountains. It is a museum that’s made up of multiple buildings with lots of galleries inside. It has the best and most valuable art collections in L.A．, so it’s definitely worth a visit.
The Chinese Theater is a really cool place in Hollywood. A long time ago, they had a big awards show for movies there. But now, most people come to see the handprints and footprints of Hollywood legends in the cement (水泥) outside. It all started when one of the famous people accidentally stepped in the wet cement when they were building the theater. Instead of fixing it, the owner thought it was a cool idea and asked other famous people to do it too. That’s how it all started.
The Griffith Observatory (天文台) is a really amazing place in Los Angeles. It’s the perfect place to end your day in L.A．If you go there in the evening, you’ll be able to see a beautiful sunset. The observatory is also very pretty, with nice areas to walk around. The best part is that from the terrace (露天平台) of the observatory, you can see the whole valley. If it’s a clear day, you can even see all the way to Santa Monica!
16．Where is a good place to go if you want to experience the free and creative spirit of L.A．in just one day
A．Santa Monica mountains.
B．The Getty Center.
C．Venice Beach.
D．Griffith Observatory.
17．What is the Getty Center in Los Angeles
A．A beach with amazing waves for surfing.
B．A museum with valuable art collections.
C．A popular shopping mall with multiple stores.
D．A famous club that hosts music concerts.
18．What is the importance of the handprints and footprints at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood
A．They represent Hollywood legends who used to work at the theater.
B．They are a symbol of Hollywood’s love for art.
C．They were created accidentally by a famous person.
D．They were created as a way to remember famous people in Hollywood.
19．What does the underlined word “legends” mean
A．演员 B．传奇人物 C．制片人 D．编剧
20．What can you see from the terrace of Griffith Observatory on a clear day
A．The whole valley and even Santa Monica.
B．The entire city of Los Angeles.
C．The Pacific Ocean and its shoreline.
D．The Hollywood Hills and famous celebrity homes.
You can travel alone, with friends, or with a tour group. They all have strong points and weak points.
The best thing about traveling alone is that you can do what you want. No waiting around in places you aren’t interested in, no missing a bus because your friend was late, etc. This may sound selfish, but this is your experience. Your experience will be rich by traveling alone. The main worry of traveling alone is loneliness, and there’s also the problem of safety, especially in some dangerous places.
Traveling with a friend sounds nice, but it depends on how well you get on. If you have similar (相似的) interests or travel ideas, it should be wonderful. You will find it much cheaper to share a room and food. However, a lot of people I meet traveling together don’t seem to have much fun and often go their separate (各自的) ways.
Some of my best travelling memories are with tour groups. The key is the tours go well. Remember, a terrible tour guide (导游), quiet group and terrible food can ruin (毁掉) your time. My advice is never to take part in a group tour that is too long except in countries with safety problems or poor traffic.
All in all, traveling alone is the best, but it is good to try different ways. Invite a friend from home to meet you for a few weeks. Try one or two group tours, and it’s best to start with a one-day one.

Chinatown is the name given to an area in the middle of London. It is a large Chinese community with a lot of Chinese restaurants, Chinese supermarkets and shops.
In the 1950s, it was a poor area and everything was very cheap. At the same time, the world rice market changed and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs. They began arriving in London to look for work. They found jobs in the restaurants in this area.
These restaurant workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time to learn English. As more Chinese arrived, more shops and businesses grew. Wives came and joined their husbands and children came and joined their fathers. The community grew, and Chinatown was born.
In the 1970s and 1980s, British-born Chinese started to have a better education and this brought economic (经济的) success to the area. Many families moved out of Chinatown, and there was more space for businesses. Chinatown soon became a popular place for tourists.
Now everyone knows about London’s Chinatown. During the Chinese New Year, the streets are filled with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets. For most of the year, though, Londoners and tourists go there mainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants. The best restaurants are the ones where the Chinese eat.
