冠词不仅是高考单项填空题中常考的项目,而且在书面表达题中,学生更容易发生语感性和过失性错误,影响了文章的整体水平。冠词虽然只有三个a,an和the,但所使用的场合却纷繁复杂,学生记忆起来常常没有头绪。下面来了解冠词的复习要点。
一、冠词的基本用法与习惯用法
关于冠词的基本用法和习惯用法,我们要记住这个口诀: 名词冠词不分家,泛指特指惯用法。
名词冠词不分家:冠词是虚词,不能单独使用,必须依附于名词才有存在的意义。而名词的可数与不可数,单数与复数等特点反过来也会影响冠词的使用。
泛指特指惯用法:泛指即不明确具体所指,是不定冠词a (an)和零冠词(即不使用冠词)的基本用法。而特指是指说话者和听话者都明确无误地知道所指,是定冠词the的基本用法。我们把那些没有规律的习惯搭配称为惯用法,它们需要单独记忆。
1. 冠词的基本用法
名词
冠词
单数可数名词
复数可数名词
不可数名词
泛指(a/an/零冠词)
A horse is a useful animal.
Horses are useful animals.
Money is not everything.
特指(the)
The horse was tired after a long journey.
The horses were tired after a long journey.
I bought him a present with the money I had saved.
注意:the与可数名词单数搭配有时可泛指,表类属。如:The horse is a useful animal.
在我们说话时,先明确我们要泛指还是特指我们所要谈的人或物,然后相应的选择合适的冠词。其他的基本都可归为惯用法,需要理解后记忆即可。如果掌握了这一规律,把复杂的问题简单化后,你会发现很多问题都可以迎刃而解。如:用在序数词,形容词最高级及形容词only, very, same等前面的the其实就是the的基本用法,即特指。请体会:That's the very thing I've been looking for. 那正是我要找的东西。如:
(1) [2010·四川卷] In __ most countries,a university degree can give you __ flying start in life.
A.the;a B.the;/ C./;/ D./;a
【解析】 D 考查冠词词义辨析。第一空是泛指大多数国家,省略冠词;第二空也是泛指,start在这里作可数名词,意为“起始优势;良好的基础条件”。a start in life为习惯搭配,意为“有利于人生成功的优势”。句意:在大多数国家,一张大学文凭能为你快速发展奠定良好的基础。
(2) —I knocked over my coffee cup. It went right over keyboard.
—You shouldn't put drinks near __ computer.
A.the;/ B.the;a C.a;/ D.a;a
【解析】 B 考查冠词特指和泛指的用法。keyboard是对话双方都已知的事物,所以其前用the;而computer表示泛指,其前用a/the都可以。
(3) Some people fear that __ air pollution may bring about changes in __ weather around the world.
A./;the B.the;/ C.an;the D.the;a
【解析】 A air pollution 是抽象名词,这里是泛指,不用冠词;weather在这里特指全球的气候,因此用the。
2. 冠词的习惯用法
很多情况下,是否要加冠词,常常是一个习惯用法问题,特别是在一些固定的词组中,有时是说不出道理的。如:
in town in the city 在城里
have a cold catch (a) cold 感冒了
at a distance 在一定距离外
in the distance 在远处
in danger of…有……的危险
in the habit of…有……的习惯
(1) [2010·辽宁卷] There are over 58000 rocky objects in __ space,about 900 of which could fall down onto __ earth.
A.the;the B./;the C.the;/ D.a;the
【解析】 B 考查冠词。第一空in space 是固定短语,不用冠词;第二空名词earth属于独一无二事物的名词,其前必须用定冠词。句意为:太空中有超过58000个岩状物体,其中大约900个有可能掉到地球上。
专题一 │ 正面解读
(2) Many people are still in __ habit of writing silly things in __ public places.
A.the;the B./;/ C.the;/ D./;the
【解析】 C 第一空是固定搭配中冠词的使用:in the habit of;第二空考查冠词的基本用法,“在公共场所”是泛指,故不使用冠词。
二、抽象名词和物质名词具体化
1. 不可数名词的具体化,包括抽象名词的具体化和物质名词的具体化。
所谓抽象名词的具体化,是指冠词用在抽象名词之前,表示“一种”、“一类”或“一个具体情况”等概念,使本来抽象的名词具体化,具有了“一”的含义。
The house is full of joy.
The little girl is a joy to her parents. (令人高兴的人或物)
Failure is the mother of success.
He is a success as an actor. (一个成功的人或物)
He gave me a lot of pleasure.
It is a pleasure to work with you. (一件令人愉快的事情)
She looked up in surprise.
What a great surprise you gave me. (一件令人惊讶的事情)
Knowledge is power.
He has a wide knowledge of animals. (一门……的知识)
He received little education.
He received a good education. (一种……的教育)
某些物质名词也可以和不定冠词连用,而变成具体化的名词。
I like coffee. Would you like a coffee? (一杯咖啡)
I have just had lunch. I have just had a big lunch. (一顿丰盛的午餐)
2. 有些抽象化的个体名词前一般不用冠词。
by bus/ by train/ by plane
at school/ college/ university/ table/ work/ sea
in class/ town/ church/ prison/ hospital/ bed
go to hospital 去医院看病
go to the hospital 去医院(并不是去看病,而是有其他目的)
如:
Gorge couldn't remember when he first met Mr. Anderson, but he was sure it was __ Sunday because everybody was at __ church.
A./;the B.the;/ C.a;/ D./;a
【解析】 C 第一空是指某一个星期天,Sunday 在这里已变成一个普通的名词,所以要加a;第二空at church是指“在教堂做礼拜”,属于具体名词抽象化。
三、冠词的某些需注意的用法
1. 不定冠词a/an
(1) 表示“同一”,相当于the same。如:
Birds of a feather flock together; people of a kind fall into the same group. 物以类聚,人以群分。
(2) 表示“每”,相当于per。如:
three times a day一天三次
(3) 表示“某一个”,相当于a certain或some。如:
Sorry, wrong number. There isn't a Mr. Smith here.
对不起,打错了。这里没有史密斯先生。
(4) 用在被修饰语限定的独一无二的东西前。如:
We all hope to have a peaceful and friendly world.
我们都希望拥有一个和平友好的世界。
(5) a+most 表示“非常,很”。如:
This is a most interesting story.
这是一个非常有趣的故事。
(6) a+序数词,表示“又一,再一”。如:
He had decided to give it up, but on second thoughts he decided to try a third time.
他已经决定放弃,但是转念一想,决定再试一次。
2. 定冠词the
(1) 用于发明物的单数名词前(phone,car…)。如:
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876.
贝尔于1876年发明了电话。
(2) 用于姓氏复数词前指一家人或夫妇二人等。如:
The Wangs will come to Beijing tomorrow.
王先生一家明天来北京。
(3) 用于表达弹奏西洋乐器时的乐器名称前。如:
She plays the violin but gives up lessons on the piano.
她拉小提琴而放弃了钢琴课程。
(4) 用于方位名词前。如:
on the right/left;in the east/south
(5) 用于比较级词前,比较级句式中常附有表示范围的“of the two…”结构。如:
Of the two boys, he is the cleverer.
两个男孩中,他是比较聪明的那一个。
要注意冠词的使用误区,即: 第一次说到不一定是泛指,第二次提到不一定就是特指。
1. —Have you seen __ pen? I left it here this morning.
—Is it __ black one? I think I saw it somewhere.
A.a;the B.the;the C.the;a D.a;a
【解析】 D 从语境看,两人之间有信息差,第二个人并不知道第一个人说的是哪只钢笔,即虽然好像是第二次提到,却并不是特指,故第二空仍用a表泛指。
2. Have you heard __ news?The price of __ petrol is going up again!
A.the; the B./; the C.the;/ D./; /
【解析】 C 句意为:你有没有听到这个消息:石油的价格又要上涨了。news 虽是第一次提到,但从语境看,说话者接着说明了消息的具体内容。因此此处的消息是特指,而非泛指某一消息。
1. A person who has __ final say in an international company is usually __ influential one.
A.a; the B.the; an C.the; the D.a; an
【解析】 B say(发言权)后有介词短语修饰,表特指,所以要用定冠词,第二空表泛指,且influential以元音音素开头,故用an。
2. [2009·辽宁卷] This area experienced __ heaviest rainfall in __ month of May.
A./; a B.a; the C.the; the D.the; a
【解析】 C 考查定冠词的基本用法。第一空指最大的降水量,形容词的最高级前用the;第二空指五月这个月,表特指用the,选C。
3. [2009·重庆卷] Washing machines made by China have won __ worldwide attention and Haier has become __ popular name.
A.a; the B./; a C./; the D.the; a
【解析】 B attention为不可数名词,并且表示泛指,所以不用冠词;第二空是指“海尔”变成了一个很受欢迎的名字,表示泛指,用a。
4.Students should be encouraged to use __ Internet as __ resource.
A./;a B./;the C.the; the D.the; a
【解析】 D 考查冠词的用法。句意为:学生们应该被鼓励把网络作为一种资源来利用。Internet“因特网”,是独一无二的事物,习惯上与定冠词the连用;resource作“(教学)资源,办法”解是可数名词,其前加a表示泛指。
5. —I am so sorry to have come late for the meeting.
—It is not your fault. With __ rush hour traffic and__ heavy rain, it is no wonder you were late.
A.a; a B.the; the C./; / D./; a
【解析】 B 考查定冠词的用法。根据语境可知,rushhour traffic和heavy rain
是双方都知道的造成迟到的原因,应用定冠词修饰。
6.[2010·福建卷] It's __ good feeling for people to admire the Shanghai World Expo that gives them __ pleasure.
A./; a B.a; / C.the; a D.a; the
【解析】 B 句意为:去上海欣赏世博会带给人们快乐,这是一种非常好的感觉。feeling“感觉”,可数名词,“一种感觉”含有“一”的概念,用不定冠词a。pleasure“快乐,欢乐”,不可数名词,故用零冠词。
7. “This victory alone is not __ change we seek—it is only __ chance for us to make that change.” said Obama in his speech.
A.a; a B.a; the C.the; the D.the; a
【解析】 C 依据句意可知,名词change被限制性定语从句we seek修饰限定,故用定冠词the表特指;chance被only修饰限定,表特指“唯一的一个”,用定冠词the;选C。
8. [2009·四川卷] In order to find __ better job, he decided to study __ second foreign language.
A.the; a B.a; a C.the; the D.a; the
【解析】 B 考查冠词的用法。句意为:为了找到一份更好的工作,他决定再学习另外一门外语。第一空表示泛指;第二空用“a+序数词+名词”表示“又一,再一”。
9.[2010·北京卷] First impressions are the most lasting. After all,you never get __ second chance to make __ first impression.
A.a;the B.the;the C.a;a D.the;a
【解析】 C 本题考查冠词。第一空表示“再一次,又一次”,序数词在此不表示顺序,其前用不定冠词a/an;第二空表示“一次第一印象”,表示泛指,用不定冠词a。
10.[2009·陕西卷] What __ pity that you couldn't be there to receive __ prize!
A.a; a B.the; a C.a; the D.the; the
【解析】 C 考查冠词的用法。第一空所填冠词构成固定句型what a pity
that…,用不定冠词a;第二空后的名词表特指,用定冠词the,选C。
11.[2010·江苏卷] The visitors here are greatly impressed by the fact that __ people from all walks of life are working hard for __ new Jiangsu.
A./; a B./; the C.the; a D.the; the
【解析】 A people from all walks of life 是固定短语,表示“各行各业的人们”,表泛指,故用零冠词。Jiangsu被new修饰,且表示“一”的概念,故用不定冠词a。
12.As __ beautiful movie about pain,struggle,hope and love,Slumdog Millionaire swept the ceremony with eight awards,including __ prize for the best picture.
A.a; the B.a; a C.the; a D.the; the
【解析】 A 考查冠词的用法。第一空处意为“Slumdog Millionaire (《贫民窟里的百万富翁》)是一部关于痛苦、挣扎、希望和爱的电影”,所以用不定冠词表泛指。prize后有for the best picture,所以第二空要用定冠词the,意思是“最佳影片奖”。
13.__ walk is expected to last all day, so bring __ packed lunch.
A.A; a B.The; / C.The; a D.A;/
【解析】 C 本题考查冠词的基本用法。the walk 是指说话者双方都知道的一次行走,所以是特指。后面是提醒要带一份盒饭,所以用不定冠词a。
14.My neighbor asked me to go for __ walk, but I don't think I've got __ energy.
A.a; / B.the; the C./; the D.a; the
【解析】 D 句意为:我的邻居请我出去散步,但我认为我没有那份精力。第一空为固定词组,go for a walk去散步,第二空特指散步的那份精力,选D。
15.Of all the subjects,I like __ history best because it gives us __ useful knowledge of things in the past.
A.the;a B./;a C.a;the D.a;/
【解析】
B 表示课程的名词前不加冠词,故第一空不填冠词;第二空表示“……有用的知识”,knowledge为抽象名词具体化,其前需要加冠词,useful的发音为[′juːsful],故用不定冠词a。
