题目内容
__________strong earthquake struck __________ Yaan, Sichuan province on April 20, 2013.
A.A; / B.The; the C.The; a D.A; the
A
【解析】
试题分析:考察冠词。本题第一空用a泛指一次强烈的地震,第二空的Yaan是一个地名,要单独使用,不需要冠词。如Beijing。句意:在2013年的4月20号,一次强烈的地震袭击了四川省的雅安市。故A正确。
考点:考察冠词
点评:冠词的考查集中在定冠词the表示特指,不定冠词a/an表示泛指;以及冠词的一些特殊用法和固定词组,还有一些不使用冠词的情况,如抽象名词,物质名词前面就不要冠词。还要掌握冠词的特殊的用法,如不可数名词变成可数名词;抽象名词具体化等。

A student and his teacher were walking through the forest. The student was disturbed(扰乱) by the fact that his mind was in constant unrest(不安). He asked his teacher, “Why most people’s minds are restless, and only a few have a calm mind? What can one do to still the mind ?”
The teacher looked at him, smiled and said, “I will tell you a story. An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again, and the elephant waved it away denovo”. This was repeated several times. Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can't you stay for a while in one place?" The fly answered, "I am attracted to whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses pull me constantly in all directions and I cannot resist them. What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still?" The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not rule my attention. Whatever I do, I get immersed(沉湎于) in it. Now that I am eating, I am completely immersed in eating. In this way I can enjoy my food and chew(咀嚼)it better. I rule and control my attention, and not the other way around."
The student's eyes opened wide and smile rose on his face. "I understand! If my five senses are in control of my mind and attention, then my mind is in constant unrest. If I am in charge of my five senses and attention, then my mind becomes calm".
"Yes, that's right", answered the teacher, "The mind is restless and goes wherever the attention is. Control your attention, and you control your mind".
