二、解法指導
在語法填空中,若名詞前沒有上述限定詞,尤其是單數可數名詞前,很有可能是填限定詞。結構一般是:限定詞+形容詞+名詞。填哪個限定詞,必須視句意和語境而定。
[例1](2009年廣東)Besides,shopping at this time of the year was not ________ pleasant experience...
解析:因experience作“經歷”解,是可數名詞,即題中的experience是單數可數名詞,前面沒有限定詞,應填限定詞;句意:此外,在一年當中的這個時候去購物不是“一次”令人愉快的經歷。故填a。
[例2](2010年廣東)A young man,while traveling through a desert,came across a spring of clear water. ________ water was sweet.
解析:前面出現過water,后面再次提到,故應該填定冠詞The。
[例3](2011年廣東)We had ________ amazing conversation.
解析:單數可數名詞conversation前無限定詞,應填限定詞;表示“一次”用不定冠詞;又因為后面的單詞是以元音音素開頭,故用an。句意:我們進行了“一次”令人驚奇的對話。
[例4](2011年廣東)But she quickly realized that it wasn’t her, it was probably the fact that she sat in ________ last row.
解析:序數詞前面一般用定冠詞the,如:the first, the second...等,故填the。
[例5](2011年廣東)I didn’t want to be laughed at for talking to him but I didn’t like leaving him on ________ own either.
解析:因on one’s own是固定結構,是“單獨”的意思,故填his。
[例6](2007年廣東)I had noticed three hens running free in my hostess’s courtyard and that night one of them ended up in a dish on my table. ________ villagers brought me goat’s cheese and hone.
解析:不定代詞充當定語,修飾后面的名詞villagers。句意:女主人熱心招待我,“其他的”村民也給我帶來了羊奶酪和蜂蜜。故填Other,也可填Some,指“有些村民”。
[例7](2007年廣東)After the student left,the teacher let ________ student taste the water.
解析:單數可數名詞student前沒有限定詞,空格處應填限定詞。句意:那個學生離開之后,老師叫“另一個”學生來嘗一下水的味道。故填another。

(一)
Last Friday afternoon, we made 1 way home as usual after school, talking and laughing merrily. In front of us 2 elderly lady was walking in 3 careless way, with a basket in 4 right hand. Suddenly she was knocked down by
5 fast-moving car. Out of kindness, we immediately came up to her and found 6 legs bleeding badly. Without hesitation we sent her to 7 nearest hospital, where we waited anxiously, worrying about 8 safety. Eventually the doctor had 9 operation on 10 elderly lady successfully. Hearing 11 good news, 12 people present felt relieved and relaxed. Two hours later, she came to herself gradually and looked at us with 13 smile. To
14 amazement, she was able to walk properly simply after two days. What 15 miracle it was!Later,the elderly lady shared 16 story with us. Having no children of
17 own, she has to live on 18 own. And she doesn’t have 19 relatives either. Now that she is in
20 seventies,it’s inconvenient for her to do 21
(many)things. However,she never depends on 22 people because she has developed 23 habit of doing 24 things by herself. The old lady sets 25 very good example to us and we’re supposed to learn from her.
(二)
I’d like to share something about my school life with you. I’m
1 senior three student in 2 key middle school. When it comes to 3 school where I study, it is quite large,including seventy-five classes and 4 class consisting of fifty students or so. As for my class, girls take up 40% and 5 others are boys. In order to make 6 dreams come true, we spend so 7 time studying that we have too 8 time for relaxation and entertainment. 9 students in my class go all out for studies, but not 10 one of us can get satisfying marks. As for me, I’m faced with two major problems and one is that I don’t do well in math, 11 poorest subject for me. 12 problem is that I’m not open-minded enough.
13 is the reason why I have 14 intimate friends. However,I have confidence to overcome 15 problems mentioned above,for my headteacher is 16 easy-going person and the 17 (much) popular teacher of all in our eyes. He often helps 18 students in need of help. We’ve never seen 19 a generous man before! We hold 20 firm belief that with 21 help and our efforts, we’re sure to achieve 22 ideals.
參考答案
冠詞的陷阱
1. a 2. a 3. an 4. an 5. an 6. an 7. an 8. a 9. an 10. an 11. an 12. a
技巧點撥:
(1)以u開頭的單詞,若u在該單詞中發的是本字母的音而又是泛指的話,前面就用不定冠詞a來修飾,如1和2題。
(2) 以u開頭的單詞,若u發的不是本字母的音而又是泛指的話,就用不定冠詞an來修飾,如3和4題。
(3)有些單詞是以元音字母開頭但讀音卻不是以元音音素開頭,表示泛指時要用不定冠詞a,如8和12。
(4)有的單詞不是以元音字母開頭,但讀音以元音音素開頭,表示泛指時則用不定冠詞an,如5,6和7題;9,10和11題,因為空白處后面的名詞以元音音素開頭,故用an。
