七、冠词的使用错误

冠词是英语限定词中最主要的一种,有且仅有两种形式:不定冠词 a (或者 an )和定冠词 the 。但是冠词又是英语中最为常用的词类,而且由于汉语中没有与之对应的词类,所以考生对冠词的用法的掌握尤感困难。冠词的使用错误一般包括如下情况:

1. 该用冠词时漏用,如 all of sudden all of a sudden tell truth tell the truth

2. 不该用冠词时赘用,如 in the contrast in contrast give a rise to give rise to keep a pace with keep pace with

3. the a/an 误用,如 on a whole on the whole

4. a an 混用,如 a s sign an s sign to a extent to an extent a honor an honor

1

We were very much surprised that the village

was such long way from the main road. 1.__________

在“ such a(an) 形容词 名词”结构中,定冠词不能省略,所以应该在 such 后加上不定冠词 a

2

“I considered it a honor to be invited to address 1.__________

the meeting of world-famous scientists,” said

professor Johnson.

honor ”虽然首字母为 h ,却是一个以元音开头的单词,显然应该使用不定冠词 an ,这类题一般出现频率较少,却也容易犯错,在改错题应该格外注意,不容出错。

3

The nude human body at the rest must begin to 1.__________

combat a lowering of body temperature when the

air temperature stands at approximately 31.0

at rest ”为习惯用语,表示“处于休息状态”的意思,中间不用任何冠词,故应该将 the 删去。

4

Geologists have been studying volcanoes for a long

time. Though they have learned great deal, they still 1.__________

have not discovered the causes of volcanic action.

a great deal ”表示“大量的,许多的”的意思,后面接不可数名词,此为习惯用法,前面不定冠词 a 不能省略。

练习题

1 They know that the inside of the earth is very

hot, but they are not sure what causes the great heat.

Some scientists now believe that much of heat 1.__________

inside the earth is provided by the radioactive

elements.

2 Communications satellites have made it possible

for an entire world be closer than ever before. 2.__________

3 A lighthouse must be high enough for its light to

be seen far away, but if it is too high, it has more

possibility to be destroyed by high wind. so it

is always true to say that the higher it is better. 3.__________

4 Scientists have suggested that supersonic

aircraft may disturb the upper atmosphere to

such extent that dangerous radiation from the 4.__________

sun might reach the earth.

5 Nowadays, higher education does not make

as much difference to the jobs women take as

it does in case of men. 5.__________

6 More than 90 percent of cigarette smoke is

made up of about dozen hazardous gases, 6.__________

carbon monoxide being the most important.

7 Primates are also known for their great

intelligence, related in a part to their great 7.__________

awareness of the environment plus the ability

to manipulate this environment

8 This tendency of technology to make workers

superfluous but at same time allowing 8.__________

their numbers to grow so large is deceasing

psychological tensions.

9 Most of the dollar differences stem from fact 9.__________

that women tend to be more recently employed

and have fewer years on the job.

10 This island is to south of North Korea. 10.__________

答案解析:

1. heat前加the因为前面已经出现过了heat,所以此处为特指。

2. anthe。“the entire world”为习惯用法,表示“全世界,整个世界”,因为世界是独一无二的,所以不能使用不定冠词,必须改为定冠词。


3. better前加the


4. such前加an


5. case前加the。“in case of”表示“万一”的意思,显然不符合原句意思,应该改为“in the case of”意为“在……情况下”。


6. dozen前加a


7. a删去。“in part”表示“部分”的意思,中间不需要任何冠词。

8. atsame之间加the


9. fromfact之间加the。“fact”后面接同位语从句,所以此处定指。


10. to后面加the
