题目内容
I have ________breakfast at 7:00 every day. After breakfast, I usually play _________ basketball.
A.the, the B./ , / C./ , the D.the, /
B
【解析】
试题分析:句意:我每天7点钟吃早餐。早餐后,我通常去打篮球。三餐的前面不用冠词,球类活动的前面都不用冠词,这是英语约定俗成的规定,故选B
考点:冠词
点评:冠词是中学英语必须掌握的语言点。分为定冠词、不定冠词及零冠词。定冠词the表特指或是双方都知道的人或物,常考的如乐器前面必须加the等;不定冠词a/an表泛指,以元音音素发音开头的单数可数名词要用an,这类题要特别useful,European,university等词中都是用a,零冠词即不用冠词的情况,多见于一些固定结构中。
American and British people use different greetings. In the USA the commonest greeting is “Hi”. In Britain it is “Hello!” or “How are you?” “Hi!” is creeping(不知不觉地进入)into British, too. When they are introduced to someone, the Americans say, “Glad to know you. ” The British say, “How do you do?” or “Pleased to meet you. ” When Americans say “Good-bye”, they nearly always add, “Have a good day. ” or “Have a good trip. ” etc. to friends and strangers alike. Britons are already beginning to use “Have a good day. ”
The British usually use “got” in the sense of “have”. The Americans hardly ever do. AmE: Do you have a car, room, etc. ? Yes, I do. BrE: Have you got a car, room, etc. ? Yes, I have.
There are a number of differences between American and British English in the spelling of words, e. g. check(US)/cheque(UK). Many American words ending in “or”, e. g. honor, labor are spelt in British English with an “our,” e. g. honour, labour. Many verbs in American English with “ize” or “izing” forms, e. g. organize, realizing are spelt in BrE with “ise” or “ising”, e. g. organise, realising. In American English, “practice” is used both for the verb and noun. In BrE, the verb is spelt “practise”, and the noun “practice. ” In AmE, one writes “traveler,” while in BrE, one writes “traveller”.
It was once predicted that British and American English would become separate (各自的)languages finally. But the opposite has happened. The links(联系)between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上),and probably culturally(文化上)too, they are closer together than ever before.
