例1、I earn 10 dollars_________ hour as _________ supermarket cashier on Saturdays.

A. a...an    B. the...a     C. an...a    D. an...the

答案为C。

[解析] hour以元音开头,前面加不定冠词an,an hour“每小时”;a表示“一个”,放在supermarket cashier前面表示类指,说明属哪类人。译文:星期六我作为超市出纳员每小时挣10美元。a/an的用法规则:以元音音素开头的单词前用an,以辅音音素开头的单词前用a。

例2、One way to understand thousands of new words is to gain________ good  knowledge of basic word formation.

A. /     B. the     C. a     D. one

例3、Alexander Graham Bell invented ________telephone in 1876.

例4、The cakes are delicious. He'd like to have ________ third one because _______ second one is rather too small.

A. a…a    B. the…the     C. a…the    D. the…a

答案为C。

[解析] 注意序数词前面的冠词的用法:当序数词表示顺序时用定冠词the;表示再来一次使用不定冠词a (an)。从句子的意思可知,third one表示再吃一个,所以填a;second one表示所吃的第二个,所以填the。这句话的意思是:蛋糕很好吃。他想再吃一个,因为他吃的第二个太小了。

例5、A bullet hit the soldier and he was wounded in  ________leg.

A. a     B. one     C. the     D. his

例6、________people in the world are sending information by email every day.

A. Several million   B. Many million    C. Several millions  D. Many million

答案为A。

[解析] 在million,hundred等前如果有具体数字或several等词时,要用单数形式。many一般不与million等词连用。在表示不确切数目时用复数,例如:表示“数百万”,英语为millions of。译文:每天,世界上有百十万人通过email传递信息。 

例7、________ of the land in that district  ________covered with trees and grass.

A. Two fifth...is   B. Two fifth...are  C. Two fifths...is  D. Two fifths...are

答案为C。

[解析] 分数的分子用基数词,分母用序数词表示。如果分子大于1,序数词后加-s。分数和百分比作主语时,谓语动词的形式取决于分数和百分数后的名词。句子中的主语land是单数,所以谓语动词要用is covered。 

例8、Paper produced every year is ________ the world's production of vehicles.

A. the three times weight of     B. three times the weight of

C. as three times heavy as     D. three times as heavier as

[解析] 表示倍数的词数放在the weight of前,意思是“……重量的几倍”。 

例9、 An accident happened at_________ crossroads a few metres away from_______ bank.

A. a…a    B. /…a    C. /…the    D. the…/

答案为A。

[解析] at a crossroads表示“在十字路口”,crossroads“十字路口”是复数形式单数用法;bank是可数名词,不能单独使用(要加冠词或复数),又非特指,不能用the。此处是泛指,前面要用不定冠词a。

例10、Smith _____ me to buy several _____ eggs for the dinner

A、asked…dozen    B、suggested…dozens of

C、had…dozen     D、persuaded…dozens of

答案为A。

[解析] “dozen +复数名词”前除了用具体数词修饰外,还可以用several, many 修饰,如several dozen people, many dozen students等,dozen 不加s。
