高中英语高考考向02 冠词(原卷版)-备战2022年高考英语一轮复习考点微专题

考向02 冠词
【命题解读】
冠词是历年高考的必考点，常出现在语篇型语法填空和短文改错中。但从整套试题来看，在短文改错、书面表达、阅读理解等题型中对冠词的隐性考查可谓无处不在。在日常交际中，几乎每说一句话、每写一篇日记、每读一篇文章都会涉及冠词的运用。故不论高考的考查形式如何变化，冠词仍应是高考复习的重点。
【命题预测】
预计2022年的高考仍然会以考查冠词在具体语境中的正确使用为主，以语篇型语法填空形式出现，它可能把冠词的各种用法结合名词一起进行考查。
【复习建议】
复习冠词须把握好以下三个原则：
1. 单数可数名词用不定冠词a/an表示泛指；
2. 复数可数名词及不可数名词表示泛指时，其前不加冠词；
3. 无论可数名词还是不可数名词，表示特指时，其前都要加定冠词the。
考向一　不定冠词
1. 不定冠词有a和an 两种形式。a用在以辅音音素开头的名词前，an用在以元音音素开头的单词前。
In a university, a European and a one-eyed man walked along a one-way road with a useful tool. This is a usual thing. 在一所大学里，一个欧洲人和一个一只眼的人拿着一件有用的工具沿着一条单行道走着。这是一件平常之事。
An hour ago, an honest man accepted an unusual gift and went to finish an honorable task.一小时前，一个诚实的人接受了一件非同寻常的礼物，去完成一项光荣的任务。
2. 不定冠词a/an用在单数可数名词前表示泛指，泛指某一人或某一物。
The ＂Chinese Dream＂ is a dream to improve people’s well-being and a dream of harmony, peace and development.＂中国梦＂是一个改善民生的梦，是一个和谐、和平和发展的梦。
3. 表示某种身份、职业、地位、国籍。
When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick.
当 Ashleys一家试图让她回来时，Mumbet咨询了一个叫西奥多·塞奇威克的律师。
4. 用在人名或时间名词前表示不确定的某个人或某个时间；用在人名前还可表示与某人有类似性质的人。
—Excuse me, is there a Mr Tailor living in the neighborhood？There is a parcel for him.
—Sorry, but there is no such person here.
——劳驾，这个居民点住着一位名叫Tailor的先生吗？这里有他的包裹。
——对不起，这儿没有这么一个人。
5. 不定冠词用在序数词前不表示排序，而表示＂再一，又一＂。

6. 表示单位时间内的频度，含有＂每＂的概念。
The medicine is to be taken three times a day. 这药每天吃三次。
7. 具有动作意义的名词在与have，take，make等构成短语表示一种短暂性的动作时，前面要加不定冠词。 如：take a look看一看；have a try试一试。
You had better go to the factory and have a look. 你最好到厂里去看一看。
8.不定冠词常用在一些固定搭配中。如：a waste of浪费……；all of a sudden突然地；as a rule通常。
It hit me all of a sudden that I had forgotten her birthday.我突然想起，我把她的生日给忘了。
【典例示例】
1. （2020 • 全国卷III• 短文改错）Each of my cafes will have a different theme and an unique style.

【答案】68. saying 69. a

【答案】the改为a

【口诀助记】
泛指首提为最多，有时表示某＂一个＂；
物质抽象表＂一场＂，so加形容再跟＂a＂；
可数名词为＂一类＂，序数词前＂又一个＂；
quite等词常放后，固定短语须琢磨。

I have never seen such an animal.
Many a man is fit for the job.
b. 当名词前的形容词被副词as, so, too, how, however, enough修饰时，不定冠词应放在形容词之后：

但当rather，quite 前仍有形容词，不定冠词放其前后均可。如：quite a lot

Brave a man though he is，he trembles at the sight of snakes. 他尽管勇敢，可见到蛇还是发抖。
当名词被比较级形容词修饰时，不定冠词通常置于比较级形容词之后。
2. 定冠词位置
定冠词通常位于名词或名词修饰语前，但放在all， both，double，half，twice，three times等词之后，名词之前。
All the students in the class went out.班里的所有学生都出去了。
学习冠词的难点
一、序数词前冠词的使用问题
强调顺序时用定冠词；当不强调顺序，而是表示＂又，还，再＂时用不定冠词。如：
The cakes are delicious. He’d like to have ________ third one because ________ second one is rather too small.
A. a; a B. the; the
C. a; the D. the; a
【答案】C
【解析】第一空表示＂还，再＂用不定冠词；第二空强调顺序用定冠词。句意为：蛋糕很好吃，因为他第二块太小了，所以他想再吃一块。
二、school, bed等前面冠词的使用问题
像bed, table, class, school, college, church, hospital, prison等名词，在指这些家具、建筑或场所本身时用冠词，但若抽象地指它们所具有的作用或功能时，则不用冠词，此时多用于go to或者be in / at之后。如：
1. —Where is Jack?
—I think he is still in ________ bed, but he might just be in ________ bathroom.
A. 不填；不填 B. the；the
C. the; 不填 D.不填；the
【答案】D
【解析】题中bed是指其用途，即：be in bed在睡觉。第二空指双方都知道的洗手间。
2. When you come here for your holiday next time, don’t go to ________ hotel; I can find you ________ bed in my flat.
A. the; a B. the; 不填
C. a; the D. a; 不填
【答案】A
【解析】题中bed不是指其用途，而是泛指＂床＂这类事物中的一个。hotel是特指这次住的那个旅馆。句意是：你下次来这里度假，就不要住那个旅馆了，我在我的公寓里帮你弄一张床。
3. When he left ________ college, he got a job as ________ reporter in a newspaper office.
A. 不填；a B. 不填；the
C. a; the D. the; the
【答案】A
【解析】题中college指在大学的功用，即：供人＂求学＂，leave college指＂大学毕业＂。在as后表示职业或身份的单数名词前要用不定冠词。
三、专有名词前的冠词使用问题
一般不用冠词，如John, China等。但以下几种情况用冠词：
①＂the＋姓氏复数＂表示＂某某夫妇＂或＂姓某的一家人＂。如：
________ will make a trip around the world during the coming Christmas.
A. The Evens B. The Evens’
C. The Evenses D. Evenses’
【答案】C
【解析】＂the＋姓氏复数＂表示＂某某夫妇＂或＂姓某的一家人＂。
②＂a(n)+人名＂表示＂……式的人物＂或＂有一个名叫……的人＂，如：
☞He is a Lei Feng. 他是一个雷锋式的人物。
☞A Smith is waiting for you at the school gate. 有一个叫史密斯的人在门口等你。
③由普通名词构成的专有名词前通常要加the，如the Summer Palace, the United Nations。但若是在＂专 有名词(人名或地名)＋普通名词＂构成的专有名词前不用冠词，如Beijing University, Yale University。 如：
The most important thing about cotton in history is ________ part that it played in ________ Industrial Revolution.
A. 不填；不填 B. the；不填
C. the; the D. a; the
【答案】C
【解析】因为part后面有一定语从句修饰，是特指，用the；又因为工业革命是由普通名词构成的专有 名词，所以前面也要用the。
④表示特指时专有名词前也可能用the，如：
the Gorge of China (中国的高尔基)
the China of the 1960s(20世纪60年代的中国)
the Smith you’re looking for(你在找的那个史密斯)
四、物质名词和抽象名词前冠词的使用问题
一般不用冠词，如We all need water. (我们都需要水。) 但是下列情况要用冠词：
① 特指时要加the，如：
In Hangzhou Mr Green was so struck by ________ beauty of ________ nature that he stayed for another night.
A. /; / B. /; the C. the; / D. the; the
【答案】C
【解析】beauty后有of 短语表示特指，用the；nature作＂大自然， 自然界＂解是不可数名词，通常 不用冠词。
②有的抽象名词具体化后，前面要加不定冠词，如：
a surprise一件预料之外的事 a pity / shame (一件令人遗憾的事)
a success(一件成功的事或一个成功的人) a pleasure(一件快乐的事)，a time(一段时间)
③不定冠词可在coffee, tea, beer, drink等物质名词前表示＂一杯 / 罐 / 瓶＂。如：
I’d like a tea(=a cup of tea), please. 我要来杯茶。
五、表示三餐的名词前的冠词使用问题
breakfast, lunch, supper等前一般不用冠词，但若受形容词修饰时用a / an；特指时要用the。如：
a good lunch(丰盛的午餐)
How do you like the lunch?(你觉得这顿午餐怎么样？)
六、play后的乐器和球类名词的冠词使用问题
play后接西洋乐器名词时，要加定冠词。但像erhu(二胡)之类的汉语拼音的中国民乐名称前就不用冠词；play后面接球、棋、牌等之类的名词前也不用冠词，如play football / chess / bridge踢足球 / 下棋 / 打桥牌。After watching ________ TV, she played ________ violin for an hour.
A. 不填; 不填 B. the; the C. the; 不填 D. 不填; the
【答案】D
【解析】play作＂弹、演奏＂讲，后接的西洋乐器名词前要用the。watch TV是习惯说法，不用冠词。
七、表示季节、月份、星期的名词前的冠词使用问题
一般不用冠词，但特指时用the；受形容词修饰表示具有某种特点时可用a / an。如：

八、表示节日的名词前的冠词使用问题
含有day的节日前一般不用冠词，如May Day, New Year’s day, Christmas Day, April Fool’s Day,
Mother’s Day等；但仅中国才有的传统节日名称前常用the，如the Spring Festival(春节), the Mid-autumn Festival(中秋节)。
九、有后置定语的名词前的冠词使作问题
特指某人或某物时用the；但若指一类事物时用a / an。如：
I’d like to buy a present that is useful but not expensive.
我想买一件价格不贵但又有用的那样一类礼物。
十、两个并列名词前冠词的使用问题
指同一人、同一物或同一概念时，第二个名词前不用冠词，如a teacher and writer(一位教师兼作家)，a horse and cart(一辆马车)，a knife and fork(一付刀叉)；但若是指两个人时，第二个名词前一般也要加冠词，如a man and a woman(一个男人和一个女人)。
十一、冠词的非前位用法
1. 不定冠词用在quite，rather，many，half，what，much等词之后。如：
☞He is rather a fool.
☞—What did you think of the concert？
—Oh，it was quite a success.
2. 不定冠词用在so（as，too，how）+形容词之后。如：
☞She is as clever a girl as you can wish to meet.
☞It’s too difficult a book for us to read.
注意：以元音音素开头的名词前加不定冠词时用＂an＂。例如：an apple。
即使单词拼写以辅音字母开头，但该词的读音是元音音素开头，加不定冠词时也要用＂an＂，例如：an hour，an honest boy；反之，拼写以元音字母开头，但读音是辅音，加不定冠词时要用＂a＂，例如：a university。
3. so…that与such…that:
①so…that和such…that都作＂如此……以至于＂解，that引导结果状语从句。常见句型如下：
so
②such…that和so…that有时可以换用，条件是such所修饰的名词必须是一个单数可数名词，且该名词还带有表性质的形容词。转变公式如下：such a/an+形容词+名词→so+形容词+a/an+名词。如：
☞He is such a good student that we all like him. → He is so good a student that we all like him。
但是，如果是不可数名词或复数可数名词，则只能用such，不能用so修饰。如：
☞It was such bad weather that he had to stay at home。
③如果复数名词前有many，few，不可数名词前有much，little等表示量的形容词时，应该用so而不用such。如：
☞I’ve had so many falls that I’m black and blue all over.
☞Mr White got so little money a month that he could hardly keep body and soul together（维持生活）。
但little不表示数量而表示＂小＂的意思时，仍用such。如：
☞They are such little children that they cannot clean the house by themselves.
1. Peter won’t drive us to the station. He has ________ to take us all.
A. a very small car B. too small a car
C. a too small car D. such a small car
【答案】B
【解析】C迷惑性较大，学生都学过too+ adj./adv. +to…结构，但对于too+ adj.+n. +to…结构不熟悉。解题方法与技巧：名词前修饰语一般正常语序为：不定冠词+形容词+名词。但有些固定结构需注意，如too + adj. +a/an+ n.。
2. Exercise is ________ as any other to lose unwanted weight.
A. so useful a way B. as a useful way
C. as useful a way D. such a useful way
【答案】C
【解析】错解分析：A、B迷惑性较大，so…as结构常用于否定句和疑问句，故不能选A、B。解题方法与技巧：名词前修饰语正常语序为：不定冠词+形容词+名词，但有些固定结构需注意，如：as+adj. +a/an+n.
