题目内容
Is this ________ elephant or _______ lion?
A.a; an B.the, the C.an ; a D.an; the
C
【解析】
试题分析:句意:这是一头大象还是一头狮子?结合语境可知本句中泛指任何一头大象或者一头狮子,故用不定冠词. elephant词首音素是元音,故不定冠词用an,lion词首音素是辅音,故不定冠词用a. 选C.
考点:冠词
点评: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。
El Nino is a huge area of warm water in the middle of cold water in the Pacific Ocean. It happens every two to seven years. It moves around the ocean and becomes bigger and smaller at different times. This warm water affects the weather. It is always raining over El Nino. El Nino contains a lot of energy. Scientists think this energy is formed when wind comes from the northern half of the world. The winds blow across warm sea water in the south. When the strong wind hits the warm water, violent weather happens. Scientists think that El Nino existed for many thousands of years.
El Nino affects every person in the world because it affects the entire world's weather. It can bring the rain that farmers need. It can bring storms that destroy homes. It can mean that fishermen cannot catch fish, and it can bring floods. There is nothing we can do about El Nino. It is an event of nature. We can help the world's weather by trying to stop the greenhouse effect and air pollution. The most important job for scientists is to learn how to predict when El Nino is going to bring dangerous weather. Then, people can try to prepare for storms, floods and droughts. New technology like satellite pictures and temperature measuring equipment can help. Still, it is very hard to say when or where El Nino will cause damage.
