考试点二 定冠词the

定冠词限制名词时关键表达特指,对于TOEFL应留意以下内容:
(1) the和可数名词奇数并用,表达一类人或物,如:
the fern(蕨类), the wallflower
(2) 序数词以前务必用the,如:
the first woman, the nineteenth century
但前边有物主代词时以外,如 my first baby
(3) 修饰词*别以前务必用the(有物主代词时以外),如:
the largest city, the most advanced technology
(4) of联接的名词前要用the, 如:
the development of the watch,
(5) 全**的物品前应加the, 如:
the globe(地球上),the equator(赤道线), the moon, the sun
在以下状况下,一般无需the:
(1) 表达人名、地名、国家名等特有名词前, 一般不用,如:
Dennis Chavez(人名),Alaska(地名),English(英文), February(二月), America(英国)
可是在表达深海、亚欧、江、河、山峰、海岛等特有名词时要再加the
the Great Lakes(美国五大湖), the Changjiang River(湘江)
(2) 无特指的不可数名词前,如:
algebra(代数学), advertising, accounting(会计专业)
(3) 表达类型的复数名词前,如:
Historians believe that…, Amphibians(爬行动物) hatch from…
(4) 一些固定不动词组中,如:
in history, in nature, at work, at home , go to school, go to bed, in bed
搭车的词组:
by train(坐火车), by car (乘小车), by bicycle(骑脚踏车), by bus (乘公交车),
by land(由路运), by sea (由海路), by water (由水道) , by air (根据航空公司)
on foot (徒步), by plane(坐飞机), by ship (坐船),
打篮球的词组:
play tennis, play baseball, play basketball
留意:表达岗位的词以前的冠词有没有均可, 如:He was elected (the) chairman of the committee.
练习题:
(D)
Historically, ---- chief material for making furniture has been wood, but metal and stone have also been used.
(A) it was the
(B) that the
(C) there was a
(D) the
回答:D
解释:空格符后是主谓句,A、C应先清除,B使原话只能从句沒有主句,只剩余D可选择,D是定冠词作名词material的限定词,表特指
(2)
The Yukon River, which flows into the Bering Sea, gives its name to a region of Alaska and a territory of the Canada.
应改成:of
解释:Canada是国家名字,属专用型名词,以前不可以加定冠词
(3)
The development of professional sports in the United States dates back tonineteenth century.
应改成:to the nineteenth
解释:nineteenth是序数词,以前应加the
