高考英语中冠词的常考考点解析高考和冠词冠词是历年高考的必考知识点,主要出现在单项选择和短文改错题中.虽说只有两类,共三个(不定冠词a,an和定冠词the),但其使用规则很复杂,一直是让考生感到很头痛的一类命题.本文就近年高考试题中的冠词考题和有关考点进行简要分析,以期帮助大家对冠词考点的理解和掌握.需要说明的是:在近年高考试题中,冠词考题很少考查某一单独考点,一般都是一题两空,涉及两个考点.纵观历年高考试题,冠词考点主要集中在以下内容:一,考查不定冠词a/an表示个别或泛指的用法1.……Hav e you seen ______________ pen I left it here this moming.A.a,theB.the,theC.the,aD.a,a析:答案D.此题考察不定冠词表示泛指的用法.pen和black one在这里都是"泛指",意为本类中非特指的"一个".本题易错选A,主要是没有认识到答话者的问求证是不是一支黑色的,并不是特指某支黑色钢笔.2.Jumping out of ______________ airplane at ten thousand feet is quite ______________ exciting experence.(NMET 2002)A./;theB./;anC.an;anD.the;the析:答案C.此题中airplane为可数名词单数,其前用不定冠词an,表示泛指类别中的一个(是一架飞机而不是别的).experience此处"经历",是可数名词,所以其前要用an,意为"一次令人激动的经历".3.She is ______________ newcomer to ______________ chemistry but she had already made some important discoveries.(NMET94)A.the,theB.the,/C.a,/D.a,the析:答案 C.此题考查不定冠词泛指某类别中的一员以及学科名词前不加冠词用法."是个新手"要用"a+单数可数名词"做表语来表示类别,排除A,B.学科名称,球类,棋类名词一般不加冠词,选C.二,考查定冠词the特指某一个人或事物的用法4.Many people are still in ___________ habit of writing silly things in __________ public places.(NMET93)A.the,theB./,/C.the,/D./,the析:C.此题考查定冠词表示"特指"以及零冠词表示"泛指"用法.Habit后有定语修饰,说明是某种"特指"的习惯,要用定冠词the.此句中复数名词public places表示类别,是泛指,泛指的复数名词前不加the,故public前不加the,又如, People tend to think boys are cleverer than girls .5.The cakes are delicious.He'd like to have ______________ third one because ______________ secondone is rather too small.(上海2002春)A.a;aB.the;theC.a;theD.the;a析:答案C.本题考查冠词的基本用法:不定冠词a/an表示"泛指",定冠词表示"特指".第一空指"再一块",泛指,不定冠词与序数词搭配,表示"有一,再一,另一"之意;第二空含特指之意,即指he吃下去的"第二块蛋糕."6.Mr.Smith,there's a man at ______________ front door who says he has ______________ news for you of great importance.(NMET2001京,皖,内春)A.the,/B.the,theC./,/D./,the析:答案 A.此题是考查定冠词表示特指以及不可数名词前的冠词用法."前门"是特指的,要用定冠词the;"消息(news)"此处表"类别"(说明带给你的不是别的东西),不可数名词表示类别时不用任何冠词,故news前不用任何冠词.7.In Hangzhou Mr.Green was so struck by ______________ beauty of ______________ nature that he stayed for another night.(上海91)A./,/B./,theC.the,/D.the,the析:答案C.此题也是考查定冠词表示特指以及零冠词表示泛指用法.beauty是"特指"自然的美,所以其前要加定冠词the;nature"自然"是泛指外界的事物,是不可数名词,其前不用冠词.三,考查不定冠词和定冠词在固定搭配中的用法8.……I'd like ______________ information about the management of your hotel,please.……Well,you could have ______________ word with the manager.He might be helpful.(NMET95)A.some,aB.an,someC.some,someD.an,a析:答案A.此题考查不可数名词前冠词用法和和不定冠词固定词组用法."与某人谈一谈"固定搭配为"have a word with sb".information是不可数名词,泛指时前面用some和不定冠词,所以答案为A.9.Alice is found of playing ______________ piano while Henry is interested in listening to ______________ music.(NMET 89)A./,theB./,/C.the,/D.the,the析:答案C.此题考查定冠词在乐器前的特殊用法.乐器前要加定冠词the;music是不可数名词,泛指类别"音乐"时,其前不加冠词.10.After watching ______________ TV,she played ______________ violin for an hour.(NMET91)A./;/B.the;theC.the;/D./;the析:答案D.watch TV是惯用语,再如,go to(be in)school/hospital/bed/sea等表示行为动作的一些习惯性用语,名词前不用冠词.Play the

food.(NMET2000)A.the,aB./,aC.the,theD./,the析:答案B.此题考查零冠词表示"泛指"和不定冠词表示"类别"的用法.第一空animals在这里属于泛指,其前不用冠词;animals of a different kind此处用不定冠词a,表示"某一种"不同种类的动物(无特指性).12.Paper money was in ______________ use in China when Marco Rolla visited the country in ______________ thirteenth century.(NMET99)A.the,/B.the,theC./,theD./,/析:答案C.本题是考查不定冠词的习惯搭配和序数词前加定冠词表示特指用法.in use为惯用语,此类不用冠词的惯用语很多,如:in hospital,in nature,in size,in area,at work,at dinner等.序数词前加the;但泛指"在一次",要用不定词a,如:a second time,a third time等.13.……Where's Jack……I think he's still in ______________ bed,but he might just be in ______________ bathroom.(MET92) A./,/ B.the,the C.the,/ D./,the析:答案D.此题是考查零冠词习惯搭配以及定冠词the表示"特指"用法.in bed 为习惯搭配;又如:by hand,in sight等."在浴室里"是双方都知道的,"特指"那个浴室,要用定冠词the.在如:in the classroom,under the tree等.14.His daughter is always shy in ______________ and she never dares to make a speech to ______________ .(上海2001春)A.the public,publicB.public,the publicC.the public,the publicD.public,public析:答案B.此题考查零冠词习惯搭配以及定冠词表示"一类人"用法.in public是固定词组,"公开地,当众地";the public"公从,众人",表示一类人.五,考查冠词在表示类别名词前的用法15.Alexander Graham Bell invented ______________ telephone in 1876.(MET91)A./B.aC.theD.one析:答案C.此题考查冠词表示类别的名词前的用法.可数名词表示类别有三种形式:1)用复数形式而不加冠词,侧重用"多数都这样"来说明类别,如:Horses are useful.2)不定冠词与单数名词连用,侧重用"任意一个都这样"来说明类别,如:A horse is useful.3)定冠词与单数名词连用,侧重用"这种特定的,而不是比的"来说明类别,如:The horse is useful.(侧重"是马,而不是牛,虎或别的")本题侧重"是电话,而不是电灯,电视或别的",故加the.16.The warmth of ______________ sweater will of course be determined by the sort of __________ wool used.(NMET2001)A.the,theB.the,/C./,theD./,/析:答案B.句中毛衣"sweater"是可数名词,表示服装的种类,表种类有三种讲法,即a sweater,the sweater 和sweaters,因此可排除选项C,D.短语the sort of修饰物质名词wool,wool表示泛指,其前不加冠词.此题很多考生误选A的原因是他们认为wool有限定词used修饰,表特指.其实,这里的used修饰thesort of wool,而非修饰wool,而the wool used如修饰the sorts,不能理解为"所用羊毛的种类"而应理解为"所用那种羊毛".六,考查不定冠词在具体化抽象名词前的用法17.Many people agree that ______________ knowledge of English is a must in ______________ intemational trade today.(NMET96)A.a,/B.the,theC.the,anD./,the析:答案 A.此题考查抽象名词具体化时的不定冠词以及不可数名词表示泛指时不用冠词的用法.Trade是不可数名词,泛指类别时不加任何冠词,排除B,C,D.knowledge原为抽象名词,如knowledge 指具体"一门学问"或"一门学问的掌握了解"可与不定冠词连用,a knowledge of English"英语知识".抽象名词具体化为表示某种特性,状态,行为的具体表现形式,常以"a/an+adj.+抽象名词"出现.再如,a bright future光明的前途,have a good time玩得愉快,receive a warm welcome受到热烈欢迎,a great help to somebody对…大有帮助,a waste of time浪费时间,make an apology道歉,等等.18.One way to understand thousands of new words is to gain ______________ good knowledge of basic word information.(上海2002)A./B.theC.aD.one析:答案C.此题同样是考查抽象名词具体化时的不定冠词用法.此处knowledge指具体"一门学问"或"一门学问的掌握了解"可与不定冠词连用.A.How a pleasant surpriseB.How pleasant surpriseC.What a pleasant surpriseD.What pleasant surprise析:答案C.此题也是考查抽象名词具体化时的不定冠词用法.surprise原为抽象名词,不可数.但在此处已经完全具体化而变为可数名词.题中a pleasant surprise意为"一件令人兴奋惊奇的(礼物).但抽象名词表示具有某种特性,状态,情感,情绪的人和事,这个抽象名词已经变为可数名词.七,考查冠词在比较级前的用法20.Boris has brain. In fact ,I doubt whether anyone in the class has ______________ IQ.(NMET2002)A.a highB.a higherC.the higherD.the highest析:答案B.此题考查不定冠词在比较级前表示泛指用法.本题是把Boris和整班每个同学IQ(智商)相比较,所以应用比较级,排除A,D.Boris有头脑,我怀疑班级是否有何人比他的智商更高,所以这里应该是"泛指"班里的任何一个人,不是"特指",比较级前应用不定冠词a.实际上句中通过doubt whether和a higher连用.表达最高级含义,意为Boris的智商最高.21.……If you don't like the red one,take the blue one……Ok,but do you have ______________ size in blue This one's a bit tight one.(NMET93)A.a bitB.a biggerC.the bigD.the bigger析:答案B.此题考查不定冠词在比较级前表示泛指用法.答者说这件有点小,问是否有(比这一件)大一点(尺寸)的"蓝外衣",并非特指要那一件,而是"泛指",所以用不定冠词a,the bigger表示"两者之间某个较…",不合题意.22.If the manager had to choose between the two,he would say John was ______________ choice.(上海1995)A.goodB.the bestC.betterD.the better析:答案 D.此题也是考查比较级前定冠词用法.当指"(两个中)较…的那个"时,要在比较级前加the.John是两人之间较好的选择,所以选D.23.Which is ______________ country,Canada or Australia (MET92)A.a longerrgerC.a largerD.the larger析:答案D.此题考查比较级前定冠词用法.当指"(两个中)较…的那个"时,要在比较级前加the.题中询问在Canada和Australia之间,那个是较大的国家.又如:the elder for the two gentlemen(两个贵族中年级较大的那个).注意:如果题干中没有country一词,则应选B.24.It's believed that ______________ you work, ______________ result you'll get.(上海1993)A.the harder,the betterB.the more hard,the more betterC.the harder,a betterD.more hard,more better析:答案A.此题考查定冠词加比较级在特殊句型中的用法."the+比较级(主语+谓语),the+比较级(主语+谓语)"表示"越…,越…".八,考查冠词在其他特殊结构中的用法25.A bullet hit the soldier and he was wounded in ______________ leg.(上海2001)A.aB.oneC.theD.his析:答案C.此题考查定冠词在固定句型中的用法.在动词hit,beat,strike,catch,grasp,pull等动词后常用句式:vt.+sb.+介词+the+身体部位.例如:Please don't hit her in the(不用her)face.26. ______________ will make a trip round the world during the coming Christmas.(上海93)A.The EvensB.The Evens'C.The EvensesD.The Evenses'析:答案 C.此题考查定冠词在姓氏复数前的用法.定冠词用于姓氏复数前,表示全家人,或这一姓氏的夫妇俩.选项D则意为"Evens家".27. ______________ food they're looked!(NMET'95)A.How a niceB.What a niceC.How niceD.What nice析:答案D.food是不可数名词,前面一般无不定冠词.冠词放在what引导的感叹句中考查.复习建议:在复习中要把握冠词用法三要素——泛指,特指和习惯用法.应分门别类地归纳常见的使用定冠词和不定冠词的几种情形,使用零冠词的几种情形,以及一些固定搭配中冠词的使用情况.一些特殊的例子要单独记忆.如像in hospital,by bus,have a good time,the old(表示一类人)等等.有无冠词而迥异短语at play 在玩at the play 在看戏behind time 迟到behind the times 落在时代后by day 在白天by the day 按日计算by sea 乘船by the sea 在海边in front of 在...(外面的)前面in the front of 在...(内部的前面)in charge of 看护,负责in the charge of 由...看护,由...负责in secret 秘密地(作状语)in the secret 知道内情(作表语)in course of 在...过程中(作表语\后置定语)in the course of 在...期间(作状语)in red 穿着红衣服in the red 负债,赤字of age 成年of an age (岁数)同年on fire 着火on the fire 在考虑中on occasion 不时地;必要时on the occasion 在那时out of question 毫无疑问out of the question 不可能to death 十分to the death 到最后five of us 我们中的五人(部分)the five of us 我们五个人(全部)a yellow and white cat 一只黄白相间的猫a yellow and a white cat 一只黄猫和一只白猫in a faimly way 象一家人一样in the family way 怀孕die of cold 冻死die of a cold 感冒而死have words with 与...争吵have a word with 与...略谈keep house 管理家务keep the house 守在家里take rest 就寝take a reat 休息一下take place 发生take the place of 代替。
