Answer key 2

  1. (D)

    所有格有两种表示方式:人与其他生物可用’s的形式,无生物则用of...

    的介系词短语形式来表示。本题的table是无生物,故只能从C和D之间选

    择。因为有of the table修饰前面的legs, 表示出来是“哪些”脚,所以

    要有定冠词the。

  2. (A)

    复合名词,前面的shoe放在形容词位置,只能用单数。后面的store要用复

    数,因为有限定词three。D的shoestores是错误拼法,两个词不能连起来。

  3. (C)

    冠词(a)与名词(road)之间是形容词位置,而且只能放单词,不能放短语,故

    从C和D来选。既然是形容词,没有复数可言,故排除掉D。

  4. (C)

    “语言教师”是复合名词,故由B和C之间来选。前面language的位置是形

    容词位置,没有复数,故选C。

  5. (C)

    bread and butter(奶油吐司)是一种食品,两个词都不可数,不需要限定

    词,构成一个名词短语,因而中间不能有逗号。bacon and eggs (火腿蛋)

    亦然。这里的bacon不可数,eggs是复数,亦不需要限定词。

  6. (C)

    nobody 意为“无名小卒”时应作普通名词看待,可加冠词a。A和B都是形

    容词,不应置于冠词a后面当作名词用。none是no one的符合字,其中的

    no就是限定词,所以前面不能再加冠词a。

  7. (C)

    one sort or another表示one sort or another sort,是一个常用的短语,

    意为“各种各样的”。

  8. (B)

    以another (后面省略thing)和one thing相对,可以表示“不同的两件事”,

    也是常用短语。

  9. (D)

    C的any只适用于否定句或疑问句。肯定句中的any要解释为“任何”,在

    此亦不适合。B的little要配合不可数名词才能用。在A与D之间,few是

    否定的意味,a few才能表示肯定,而quite a few则是加上强调语气的副

    词quite来表示“还不少”。上下文要求肯定语气(由连接词but可看出),

    故选D。

  10. (A)

    用来表示上文讲过的一句话,可以用this或that作代名词。例如:There's

    going to be a raise. Isn't this (或 that) great? 可是,如果代表下文

    要说的一句话,就只能用this。

  11. (B)

    两者(coffee,tea)之间任选其一,应用either,三者以上才用any。

  12. (B)

    the second代表the second chapter,与上文的the first chapter对称。

  13. (C)

    上文有交待一共是两个女儿,除去唱歌的那个,剩下的“那一个”是演员。

    句意中已指明哪一个,所以要用定冠词。the other后面省略掉is。

  14. (B)

    80元当中已有四个20 (或四张20元钞票)了,所以说“再来一个20(another

    20)就够了。”意思是凑成100。

  15. (A)

    空格位置是主语Mary Kurt的同位语,这个位置倾向于当专有名词看待。再

    加上这个乐团的女低音只有一人,符合专有名词的要求,因而不用冠词。

  16. (A)

    ink不可数,故可排除B。再从than that来看,应是比较级,故排除C和D。

  17. (B)

    空格后面的boy是单数,所以排除复数的A和C。英语的比较级要求较严格:

    只能说比班上“别的”同学用功,不然会造成“包括比自己用功”的语病,

    所以要有other—词来限定范围。

  18. (B)

    多久一次,像every day,every week,every two months,every century

    (相当于every hundred years)—样,要用every这个限定词来表示。six

    hours固然是复数,可是像hours,miles,pounds这种代表“单位”的字眼

    也可以当单数使用,例如:Three miles is a long way to walk.,所以 every

    six hours并无冲突。

  19. (C)

    hope不可数,所以从A和C来选。上下文要求用肯定语气:“还有希望”(从

    连接词but可以看出),所以用表示肯定的a little。如果用A,成为little

    hope,只能表示否定语气:“希望渺茫”。

  20. (B)

    空格后面有完整的名词短语,已经有限定词these,所以不能直接再加限定

    词most在前面(most在此并非表示“最”的副词,而是表示“大部分”的

    限定词),只能用介系词of隔开。而且most在此既非一般解释为“最”的

    最高级,前面也就不应用定冠词the。
