初中英语冠词考点解析

1. We saw____ elephant in the zoo. _____ elephant was from India. A. a; The B. the; An C. an; The D. the; A

[点拨]表示泛指某类事物中的一个，用a或an；第二次提到某事物时用the。因elephant以元音[e]开头。

2. If you dont mind, pass me ______ apple, please. (2003长沙) A. a B. an C. the D. 不填

[点拨由前半句If you dont mind的语气判断，此处应用不定冠词表泛指。用定冠词，显得生硬，不礼貌。

3. I am reading ______ novel. It is ______ interesting story. (2003昆明) A. a; an B. a; a C. the; the D. /; an

[点拨]此题考查不定冠词表泛指及a与an的用法区别等。

4. ___ earth we live on is bigger than ___ moon. (2003广东) A. The; a B. The; the C. An; a D. An; the

[点拨]此题考查定冠词用在世上独一无二的名词前的用法。earth, sun, moon, , sky, world前要用定冠词。

5. -Have you seen ______ pen? I left it here this morning. (2003山西)

-Is it ______ black one? I think I saw it somewhere. the B. the; the C. the; a a

[点拨]第一空用不定冠词表泛指；由后一句I think I saw it somewhere.(我想我在某个地方见过)可知，第二空用不定冠词泛指一支黑色的。

6. The boys and girls often play____ football in ____ afternoon. (2003兰州) A. /; an B. the; an C./; the D. a; the

[点拨]此题考查零冠词和固定短语。球类运动和三餐等名词前不用冠词。in the afternoong是固定词组。

7. -Did you enjoy your stay in Hangzhou? (2003杭州)-Yes. I had ____ wonderful time.A. a B. an C. the D./

[点拨]我们玩地很开心。此题考查固定短语中不定冠词的用法。have a good/great/wonderful time是固定短语。又如have a rest, have a swim, have a meeting, have a look, have a picnic等。

10. Theres ______ h in the word hour. (2003南京) A. a B. the C. an D. 不填

[点拨]考a和an区别。h是辅音字母但以元音开头，故用an。以元音开头的辅音字母有f, h, l, m, n, r, s x。
