【答案详解】

2. a 解析:as a result 为固定搭配,意为“结果”。故填a.
3. the 解析: 修饰名词top, 表特指,要用定冠词the, 故填the.
4. the 解析:句意:多年之后,这条河成为最杰出的环保典型之一。可知,此处 most 前用 the 修饰表示的是最高级的概念。
5. the 解析:at the top of one's lungs"用尽量大的声音,放声大叫”,为固定搭配。
II.精选典题冠词专题对点训练·单句语法填空

8.I could only tell him truth. Instead of scolding, he praised my honesty and then encouraged me to apologize to our neighbor.
9.One discovery I made about giving something away is that it is almost possible to give anything away in his world, and the return often comes in unexpected way.
10.To this beautiful, culturally remarkable island, people’s recognition is honor.

15.Until last year, he was still unknown singer, but now his name has become household name.
【答案详解】
6.an 解析:attitude表示“态度”为可数名词,表示泛指时单数名词前应加不定冠词,active的发音以元音音素开头,故其前应加an。
7.the/his 解析:考查冠词或物主代词。guitar为乐器,需在其前加定冠词the。因为guitar和主语he是所属关系,故也可以用形容词性物主代词his。
8.the 解析:考查冠词。tell the truth为固定词组搭配,故用定冠词the。
9.an 解析:此处表示回报经常以一种出乎意料的方式出现。way作“方法,方式”讲时,是可数名词,且此处表示“一种……的方式”,unexpected的发音以元音音素开头,所以要用an。
10.an 解析:句意:对这座富有文化底蕴的美丽小岛来说,人们的认可是一种荣誉。honor通常用作抽象名词,表示“荣誉”,但此处抽象名词具体化,故honor前面需用不定冠词,表示“一种荣誉”。
11.a 解析:句意:2019年夏天我第一次去杭州旅游。那里如此迷人,我决定明年再去一次。a second time表示“又一次,再一次”,故填a。
12.the 解析:句意:伦敦也以世界上最佳现场音乐举办地点之一而闻名,这一点也值得记忆。根据句意可知,best在此处是good的最高级,形容词最高级前要用定冠词。
13.a 解析:句意:腊八节也是古代中国人向天地祈祷有一个好收成的时间。此处表示“一段时间”,所以前面要用不定冠词。“不定冠词+形容词+time”表示“一段……的时间”。
14.a 解析:have a cold是固定搭配,意为“感冒”,cold前用不定冠词。相同用法的短语还有:have a fever 发烧;have a headache 头疼;have a cough 咳嗽; have a temperature 发烧。
15.an; a 解析:由语境可知这两个空都表示泛指,且其后均为可数名词单数,故用不定冠词,又因第一个空后unknown的发音以元音音素开头,故填an;第二个空后的household的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
III.精选典题冠词专题对点训练·单句改错
16.It is indeed a remarkable thing for you to have achieved such great a success.
17.Studying at an university in the UK has been a good experience for me.
18.He went running every morning and played the basketball every afternoon.
19.Knocked unconscious, the person was sent to a nearest hospital immediately.
20.At the first, I thought I knew everything and could make decisions by myself.
【答案详解】
16.去掉第二个a 解析:success可以用作抽象名词,此处achieve success意为“获得成功”,把great success看成名词短语而去掉a。
17.an→a 解析:university虽然是以元音字母开头,但却是以辅音音素开头,故其前的不定冠词应用a。
18.去掉the 解析:球类活动前不加冠词,故去掉basketball前面的the。
19.a→the 解析:形容词最高级前应加定冠词,故把a改为the。
20.去掉the 解析:句意:起初我以为我什么都知道,并且可以自己做决定。at first为固定短语,意为“起初”。
