本期重点：冠词 冠词主要考查不定冠词和定冠词的混淆。还有的是考查一些固定搭配，例如on the other hand, for instance / example(中间没有an)等。考点解析：
例1：With occasional breaks for war, the rates of death
and infection in the Europe and America dropped steadily S5._________
through the 19th and 20th centuries.
解析：定冠词the通常表示特指。Europe是专有名词，无需加定冠词特指。
例2：Their experiments have shown that reading disorders
are most likely the result of what is, in an effect, faulty wiring S3. __________
in the brain—not laziness, stupidity or a poor home environment.
解析：in effect / fact是固定搭配，表示陈述事实，意为“事实上，实际上”。
例3：Most American businesses are open five days a week. American
school children attend the school five days a week as well 2._________
解析：attend school意为“上学”，而不是特指“学校”，所以将the 去掉。相类似的词还有go to bed, in hospital(住院)，in the hospital(在医院)等。
例4：Every week hundreds of CVs(简历) land on our desks.
We’ve seen it all: CVs printed on pink paper, CVs that are 10
pages long and CVs with silly mistakes in first paragraph. A S1 __________
解析：表示“第几”时，在序数词前面要加上定冠词the。但是如果把名词paragraph，lesson等词放在基数词前则不需加定冠词，例如lesson one等。

</p>考答案及解析：巩固与拓展
1.a -> the
根据谓语动词has been cut 和by ninety percent可知主语指的是麻风病例的数量，而不是指有许多麻风病例。
2. in hurry -> in a hurry
3. his -> the
在某些词组中，表示身体部位的名词前通常用定冠词。例如：I hit him on the chin;I gave him a pat on the shoulder.等。
4. new one -> a new one.
one在指代前面出现过的可数名词(此处指purpose)时，如果有形容词修饰，前面应该加上不定冠词a。
5.the -> /
a group of, a team of, a kind of 等后的名词前一般不加定冠词the。
综合训练
1.living -> lives
living意为“生存”，根据句意，这里应该此处指宠物们的丰富多彩的生活，故用life的复数lives。
2.with -> for
have an eye for 是固定搭配，意为“很能见赏，很能看出”。
3.provide -> provides
该定语从句的先行词是organizations，故从句的谓语要用复数。
4. incredible level -> an incredible level
level是单数可数名词，应该在之前加上不定冠词。
5. respectful -> respectable
respectful意为“尊敬的”，respectable意为“值得尊敬的，体面的”。此处句意是“主人把自己的宠物埋葬在体面的宠物墓地中”，因此使用respectable。

</p> 6.lower -> lowers本句得主语是interacting with animals，谓语是lower。动名词作主语，谓语动词用单数。
7.visitors
8.creature -> creatures
由定语of all shapes and sizes可以推出被修饰的词应该是复数。
9. have -> having
简单句不能有两个独立的主谓结构，而此处的have a pet要做句子的主语，故应该使用动名词形式。
10.friendly -> friendliness
of是介词，后面要跟名词
