题目内容

As a film star she was a success, but as a wife she was ______ failure, so their marriage ended in ______ failure.

A．/; /

B．/; a

C．a; a

D．a; /

解析试题分析：考查冠词。本题第一空的failure失败，原来是一个抽象名词，在本句中转换成一个具体名词，指一个失败的人，或者一件失败的事情。第二空中的failue就是抽象名词，表示失败。句意：作为一个电影明星，他很成功，但是作为一个妻子，她是一个失败的人，所以他们的婚姻以失败告终。故D正确。
考点：考查冠词
点评：冠词的考查集中在the表示特指；a/an表示泛指。另外要注意冠词的一些固定搭配中冠词的使用。这题主要是抽象名词具体化的用法，除了honor还有success，failure，surprise，pleasure等名词也可以表示抽象名词具体化。

The resounding film Avatar has been very popular in the UK and around the world, becoming the fastest film ever to earn $1bn(7bn yuan) in ticket sales.
But as well as being an entertaining feast for the eyes, the sci-fi epic（叙事诗）also introduces the audience to a brand new language invented especially for the film.
The movie is set on an alien planet called Pandora which is inhabited by many strange species. The most humanoid of the planet’s inhabitants are the Na’vi, and it is the struggle between the Na’vi and human invader that forms the main story of the film.
The film has been released in 2D and 3D versions.
In order to add a sense of reality to his vision of an alien race the film’s director James Cameron asked a professor of language form the University of Southern California to invent a language for the Na’vi.
Professor Paul Frommer worked with James Cameron for four years to build upon the original 30 words or so that the director had already come up with for the language.
According to Professor Frommer, the most important aspect of the Na’ vi language was that it could be pronounced.
“This is an alien language but obviously it has to be spoken by human actors,” Professor Frommer told the BBC, “it has to be sounds that human beings are comfortable producing.”
The language currently has around 1,000 words but Professor Frommer hopes to expand it in possible sequels（续集）to the film and in video games.
The professor hopes that one day his creation will have a high level of the Klingon alien language from the Star Trek films.
“There’s a translation of Hamlet into Klingon,” says Professor Frommer.
“If anything happened like this with Na’vi I’d be delight.”

A. A kind of new language was invented especially for the film

B. that the language is based on that of the Alien planet called Pandora
C. that James Cameron introduces a new style of language to the audience
