一、单项填空
1.The World Expo is like______great stage for cultural exchange,bringing people into closer contact with______rest of the world.
A.a;不填 B. a;the
C.the;不填 D.the;the
解析:考查冠词的用法。句意:世博会就像一个文化交流的大舞台,使得世界不同地方的人们进行更加密切的接触。第一个空表示泛指“一个大舞台”故用不定冠词a;第二个空the rest of属于固定用法表示“其余的”。
答案:B
2.—It is said that beggar is ______ a fool.
