第2讲 运用2个歌诀、3种方法解决冠词的张冠李戴问题
备考指导 冠词是历年高考中的必考点之一,只是不同的省份考查的形式不同而已,有的是以单项填空的形式,有的是以语法填空的形式,有的是以短文改错的形式进行考查。冠词的用途是很广的,尤其是在写作中,几乎每个句子都要涉及到冠词的用法。
一、冠词应用的2个歌诀
1.定冠词用法歌诀
沙漠河流域山川,列岛海峡与海湾。阶级党派国家名,组织团体与机关。方位朝代独一词,会议条约与报刊。乐器建筑影剧院,复姓年代海洋船。特指提过人皆知,限定抽象单名前。序数全家名词化,序数最高festival前。抓打人体某部位,带language指语言。还有许多惯用法,定冠可填不可删。莫忘规律有例外,灵活使用是关键。
2.名词前不用冠词的歌诀
独一职位在某地,用作表、补、同位语;独立主格作状语, by短语表方式,man一词义“人类”,对比含义两名词;系词turn接表语,新闻语体及标题;具体意义变抽象,含有as/though的倒装句;人名、地名、国名次,抽象、物质不特指;月份、星期、节假日,学科、语言、称呼语;颜色、病名、五感觉,棋类、球类、三餐词;复数形式表类别,固定词组、惯用语。二、一些固定短语中冠词的用法
1.一些短语中常用不定冠词
in a flash转瞬间 all of a sudden突然
in a word总之 as a matter of fact事实上
in a hurry匆忙 have a go尝试
as a rule通常 as a result结果
as a whole总体上 at a loss不知所措
make a fool of愚弄 make a living谋生
in a sense从某种意义上说
to a degree在某种程度上
put an end to结束,停止
once in a while偶尔地
2.一些短语中常用定冠词

in the end最后
on the whole大体上
by the way顺便提一下
on the right/left在右/左边
to the point简明恰当

the other day那天,前几天
make the most of充分利用

out of date过时的
at full speed全速

三、解决冠词问题常用的3种方法
方法1 语境暗示法
在解答冠词试题时,要注意下面的原则:一是根据句子的意思判断是特指(定冠词表示特指)还是泛指(不定冠词表示泛指),其次看是可数名词还是不可数名词。这样就能够根据句子的意思判断出是选定冠词还是不定冠词。
典例展示1 (2016·全国卷Ⅰ)My uncle says that he never dreams of becoming rich in the short period of time. ________
答案 the→a
解析 此处表示“在一段短暂的时间内”,并没有特指在哪一段时间,所以应该把the改为a。
典例展示2 (2016·四川高考)I asked Mom to stay in the sitting room and I cooked in kitchen.________
答案 kitchen前加the
解析 此处应指我们家的厨房,表示特指,故在kitchen前加the。
方法2 准确翻译法
冠词a/an表示“一个,一种,某一个”,一般泛指任意一个,而the表示“这个,那个”,是特指。所以在大多数情况下,如果我们能准确地把泛指或特指的意思翻译出来,就能够正确地解答该题。
典例展示1 (2015·广东高考)He owned ________ farm, which looked almost abandoned.
答案 a
解析 此处第一次提到农场,应用不定冠词。故答案为a。
典例展示2 Being able to afford ________ drink would be ________ comfort in those though time.
答案 a;a
解析 a drink在此是物质名词具体化,指“一杯饮料”;a comfort在此是抽象名词具体化,指“一件令人欣慰的事”。
方法3 固定短语搭配法
掌握冠词的习惯用法,冠词活用和固定词组中用不用冠词或用什么冠词对于解答冠词试题也是很重要的。
典例展示1 (2016·全国卷Ⅰ)The nursery team switches him every few days with his sister so that while one is being bottle-fed,________ other is with mum — she never suspects.
答案 the
解析 one ... the other ...是固定搭配,意为“一个……另一个……”。故答案为the。
典例展示2 (2016·全国卷Ⅱ)But in that case, we will learn little about world.
答案 world前加the
解析 world是独一无二的事物,故在world前加the。
