1.We should take active attitude to our studies, and try to get a mark that is true as well as good.
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。
2.After work, he learned to play guitar. He liked living on the farm, for the life was simple.
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。
3.I could only tell him truth. Instead of scolding, he praised my honesty and then encouraged me to apologize to our neighbor.
the 解析:考查冠词。tell the truth为固定词组搭配,故用定冠词the。
4.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.
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。
5.To this beautiful, culturally remarkable island, people’s recognition is honor.
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”。
