考点一 冠词的基本用法
1.India attained independence in 1947,after long struggle.(2013新课标全国Ⅰ,31)
A.不填;a B.the;a
C.an;不填 D.an;the
剖析:A 考查冠词的用法。句意:经过一段漫长的斗争,印度于1947年实现了独立。independence为抽象名词,因此其前不用冠词;struggle此处表示具体的事物,其前应用冠词a。因此选A。
【技巧点拨】 抽象名词具体化的用法是高考的常考点。做此类题时,一要仔细分析语境,二要看该名词前是否有修饰成分。
2.Four and half hours of discussion took us up to midnight,and break for cheese,chocolate and tea with sugar.(2013新课标全国Ⅱ,13)
A.a;a B.the;the
C./;the D.a;/
剖析:A 考 查冠词。“四个半小时”可以表达为four and a half hours或four hours and a half;break作“休息”讲时,为可数名词,此处表示泛指,其前应用不定冠词修饰。故选A项。
3.It was cold winter night and the moon was shining brightly across night sky.(2013山东,22)
A./;a B.a;the
