【解析】

试题分析:冠词是一种虚词,一般用于名词前面表示特指或者泛指某一个。冠词的应用都用一定规则,熟记这些规则是解题的关键。不定冠词用在名词前,表示泛指任何一个。定冠词用在名词前表示特指某一个。在专有名词及表示泛指的复数名词前一般不要冠词,叫做零冠词。需注意的是不定冠词的用法是看词首音素,不是看首字母,如:useful首字母是元音,但是词首音素时辅音,故不定冠词用a;hour首字母是辅音,但是词首音素是元音,故用冠词an。

句意:你为什么笑?——哦,我刚读了一个有趣的故事。结合语境可知本句中泛指的是任何一个有趣的故事,故用不定冠词。Interesting词首音素是元音,故不定冠词用an,选C.

考点:考查冠词

An old man called Xie Liang, 80, has given free help to people who ask for directions for 8 years.

Every day, Mr Xie goes to Dongzhimen Bus Stop, and gives help to at least 1,200 people asking for directions. During holidays, the number may be even 3,500. There are more than 50 roads and streets meeting at Dongzhimen, and at least 100 thousand people pass by there daily.

The reporter of Beijing Youth Daily had an interview with Xie. At that time, he arrived at the bus stop and placed his little table with maps and guidebooks written by himself on it.

"Is it really free to ask you for the way?" said a person from southeast China

"Of course," answered Xie with a smile. "Quite a number of people have asked me the same question. I am a volunteer."

The reporter found that at least 5 people came to ask him for the way in a minute, and Xie told them the way patiently and gave every one of them a note with his words on it.Xie has a husky voice. People think that it's because of the result of the things he is doing.

Have you ever wondered?

Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?

It can take five hours to go west-east from New York (NY) to London but seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY. The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon (大气现象) known as the jet stream (气流). The jet stream is a very high altitude (= above sea level) wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. So the planes moving at a constant air speed go faster from the west to the east when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite.

What would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?

Supposing we could magically turn off gravity. Would buildings and other buildings float away? What happened would depend on (依靠) how strongly the things were attached (吸附) to the earth. The earth is moving at quite a speed, moving at over a thousand miles per hour. If you turn something around your head on a string, it goes around in a circle until you let go of the string. Then it flies off in a straight line. Turning off gravity would be like letting go of the string. Things not attached to the earth would fly off in a straight line. People in buildings would suddenly shoot upwards at a great speed until they hit the ceiling (= top surface of a room). Most things outside would fly off into space.

A. buildings and other structures would float away

D. everything outside buildings would fly off into space

4.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?

A. It takes seven hours to travel from London to New York.

B. The earth is moving at a high speed.

C. Things on the earth will float away if theres no gravity.

D. Things not attached to the earth would fly off in a straight line.
