冠词命题趋势高考试题中对冠词用法的考查年年都有,主要以考查冠词在具体语境中的正确使用为主。

预测今后考点分布在对不定冠词的考查、定冠词的考查、零冠词的考查以及一些固定短语中冠词的正确使用。

从高考命题来看,常常是一道试题设两个空,它可能把冠词的各种用法结合名词一起考查。

冠词在句中一般不重读。

冠词分为不定冠词(Indefinite Article)和定冠词(Definite Article)两种。

冠词的用法有类指(Generic Reference)和特指(Specific Reference)之分。

类指是表示类别,也就是泛指一类人或物,而特指则指其中特定的对象。

考点一不定冠词的基本用法1.表示类指,或指某类中的任何一个。

例如:HIV is a virus. A virus is a very small living thing that causes disease.HIV是一种病毒。

病毒是一种引发疾病的微生物。

A baby deer can stand as soon as it is born.小鹿一生下来就能站立。

2. 表示非确定特指。

当说话人第一次提及某人或某物时,通常用不定冠词,因此有不定冠词构成的名词词组往往带有不确定含义,相当于a certain。

例如:He was born in a village in Austria, the son of a peasant.他出生在奥地利的一个村庄里,是一个农民的儿子。

He had to go to London, wear an expensive suit and give a performance to a TV camera.他得去伦敦,穿着昂贵的服装,对着电视摄像机表演。

注意:专有名词前用不定冠词也表示“某一个”。

例如:I want to be a Bill Gates. 我想成为比尔盖茨式的人物。

I knew a John Lennon, but not the famous one.我认识一个叫约翰列农的人,但不是那个著名的人。

三、表示“量指”。

不定冠词表示“一”的概念,在意思上接近one,但在数量概念上比one 弱。

例如:With an hour after the earthquake, the smoke of San Francisco’s fires could be seen 160 kilometers away.地震后的一个小时,旧金山的大火产生的烟在160千米远的地方也能看到。

I watch TV for sixteen or seventeen hours a day.我一天要看十六七个小时的电视。

Rome was not build in a day. (谚语)罗马非一日建成。

注意:a/an与基数词one同源。

下面将a/an与one的用法坐一比较:a. 抢点数目概念时要用one, 要重读;不强调数目概念时用a/an,通常不重读。

请比较以下两句:It will take more than a year to build the power station. (指一年以上,两年以下)It will take more than one year to build the power station. (指不只一年,可能两年或三年)b.在某些固定习语中,a/an和one不可调换。

如:once upon a time; an hour or two; one day; one night.c.在某些习语中,a/an 和one都可用,但意义不同,如at a time(每次), at one time(从前有一个时期)d.在与别的事物相对照时,通常用one 而不用a/an。

例如:One man’s meat is another man’s poison.对甲有利的对乙未必有利。

She has one sister, but three brothers.她又一个妹妹,三个弟弟。

注意:“一两天”在英语里有两种表达:a day or two或one or two days。

这里的a 与one不可互换。

四、表示同类中的“任何一个”。

这种用法可以与any互换。

例如:A child not only needs food and clothing, but love as well.孩子不仅需要衣食,还需要爱。

A boy is usually taller than a girl of his age.男孩子往往比同龄的女孩子个子高。

五、表示单位,有“每一”之含义,多用于速度、价格等表达中。

例如:Even a clock that does not work is right twice a day.就连不走的钟每天还有两次是正确的。

I walk five kilometers an hour.我每小时走五公里。

They go swimming in the lake once a week.他们每星期去河里游泳一次。

注意:“每月两次”有下面的表达形式:twice a month, twice each month, twice per month,不能说twice one month.六、用在序数词前表示“又一”“再一”。

例如:I need a fifth stamp to complete my new album.我还需要一张邮票才能完成我的新集邮册。

Will you try a second time if you fail the first time?如果你第一次失败了,你还要尝试一次么?真题链接(2010北京,35)First impression are the most lasting. After all, you never get ______ second chance to make ______ first impression.A. a; theB. the; theC. a; aD. the; a[解析]C 句意:第一印象最持久。

毕竟,你不会再有机会去形成第一印象。

第一空后又second,在此表示再一次机会,而不是表顺序,应用不定冠词;第二空中的第一印象是泛指,也不是表示顺序,又根据题干可以判断impression在此处是可数名词,可数名词单数表泛指时需用不定冠词,故选择C项。

七、用于一些可数名词前,表示“某一方面”“某一部分”等含义,如education, history, knowledge等。

例如:I have been living in this city for many years, so I have a good knowledge of it.我在这个城市生活了许多年,所以对它非常了解。

China is an Asian country with a long history.中国是一个拥有悠久历史的亚洲国家。
