托福备考:定冠词THE的用法有哪些?


  定冠词限定名词时主要表示特指,针对TOEFL应注意以下几点:


  (1) the和可数名词单数连用,表示一类人或物,如:the fern(蕨类), the wallflower


  (2) 序数词之前必须用the,如:the first woman, the nineteenth century 但前面有物主代词时除外,如 my first baby


  (3) 形容词最高级之前必须用the(有物主代词时除外),如:the largest city, the most advanced technology


  (4) of连接的名词前多用the, 如:the development of the watch,


  (5) 世界上独一无二的东西前应加the, 如:the globe(地球),the equator(赤道), the moon, the sun


  在下列情况下,一般不用the:


  (1) 表示人名、地名、国家名等专有名词前, 一般不加,如:Dennis Chavez(人名),Alaska(地名),English(英语), February(二月), America(美国) 但是在表示海洋、海峡、江、河、山脉、群岛等专有名词时要加上the。the Great Lakes(美国五大湖), the Changjiang River(长江)


  (2) 无特指的不可数名词前,如:algebra(代数学), advertising, accounting(会计学)


  (3) 表示类别的复数名词前,如:Historians believe that…, Amphibians(两栖动物) hatch from…


  (4) 一些固定词组中,如:in history, in nature, at work, at home , go to school, go to bed, in bed


  乘车的词组:


  by train(乘火车), by car (乘汽车), by bicycle(骑脚踏车), by bus (乘公共汽车),

  by land(由陆路), by sea (由海路), by water (由水路) , by air (通过航空)

  on foot (步行), by plane(乘飞机), by ship (乘船),


  打球的词组:


  play tennis, play baseball, play basketball

  注意:表示职位的词之前的冠词有无均可, 如:He was elected (the) chairman of the committee。


  例题:

  (1 ) Historically, ---- chief material for making furniture has been wood, but metal and stone havealso been used。

  (A) it was the

  (B) that the

  (C) there was a

  (D) the

  答案:D

  解释:空格后是主谓句,A、C可先排除,B使原句只有从句没有主句,只剩下D可选,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 aterritory of the Canada。

  应改为:of

  解释:Canada是国名,属专用名词,之前不能加定冠词


  (3) The development of professional sports in the United States dates back tonineteenth century。

  应改为:to the nineteenth

  解释:nineteenth是序数词,之前应加the
