Ⅰ.单句语法填空(冠词)
1.In the ricegrowing world, ________ Chinese scientist, Yuan Longping, is ________ leading figure.
答案：the; a 解析：考查冠词。句意：在水稻种植领域，中国科学家袁隆平是一位领军人物。单数名词scientist后面有特定人名作同位语，因此表示特指，第一空应用定冠词the;单数名词figure前加不定冠词，表示泛指，第二空应填不定冠词。
2.All of life is ________ act of letting go, but what hurts the most is not taking ________ moment to say goodbye.
答案：an; a 解析：考查冠词。句意：人生就是要放手，然而最令人痛心的是，我们来不及说一声再见。第一空，act后有定语修饰，表示“放手的行为”，此时act为可数名词且发音以元音音素开头，其前应加不定冠词an;第二空，take a moment to do sth.表示“花点时间做某事”。
3.The result was out of his expectation. Harry looked at the medal in ________surprise without saying________ word.
答案：/; a 解析：考查冠词。句意：这个结果出乎哈里的意料。他惊讶地看着奖牌，什么话也没说。第一空，固定短语in surprise表示“惊讶地”;第二空，单数可数名词word前加a表示“一句话”。
4.We would often go for ________ drive with some friends at that time，purely for ________ fun.
答案：a; / 解析：考查冠词。笫一空，go for a drive表示“开车去兜风”，为固定搭配;第二空，for fun“为了好玩”，为固定搭配。
5.—Have you heard that Li Yapeng and Faye Wong divorced?
—Yes, ________ news came as ________ shock to me.
答案：the; a 解析：考查冠词。第一空，特指上面提到的王菲和李亚鹏离婚的这件事，故用定冠词the;第二空，此处是抽象名词具体化，表示“一件令人震惊的事情”，用不定冠词a。
6.Jack thought that he had ________ gift for telling directions, so he didn't take ________ compass with him on his weekend hike.
答案：a; a 解析：考查冠词。句意：杰克认为他有辨别方向的天赋，所以在周末的徒步旅行中，他没有带指南针。have a gift for意为“对……有天赋”;compass是可数名词，所以前面需加不定冠词a。
7.—How do you find the guy who took ________ office last week?
—He's always finding ________fault with others.
答案：/; / 解析：考查冠词。句意：——你觉得上周就职的那个人怎么样?——他总是找别人的茬。take office“就职”，find fault with sb.“找某人的茬”，两者均为固定短语，故两个空均不填冠词。
