冠词的用法详解
英语中冠词分为定冠词the 和不定冠词a/an两种。冠词一般不单独使用,往往放在名词前面,表示不同的意义。
一：a和an区别
A用于辅音前,an用于元音前。特别注意的是an用于元音因素〔发音而不是字母前。
1.拼写以辅音字母开头读音却以元音开头的单词
hour, honest, honor等单词的拼写虽然以辅音字母h开头,但其读音却以元音开头,因此,前面要用an。可熟记下面这句话：
An hour ago, an honest man accepted an honorable task. <一小时前,一位诚实的人接受了一项光荣的任务。>
2.拼写以元音字母开头读音却以辅音开头的单词
uful, university, usual, European, united, one-eyed, one-way等单词的拼写虽然以元音字母开头,但其读音却以元音开头,因此,前面要用a。可熟记下面这句话：
In a university, a European and a one-eyed man walk along a one-way road with a usual tool. This is a usual thing. <在一所大学里,有一个欧洲人和一个独眼龙拿着有用的工具沿着一条单行道行走,这是件平常的事。>如：
Five years ago her brother was ________ university student of ________ physics. <上海卷>
A. a; the B. an; the C. an; / D. a; /
[分析]答案选D。因为university是以辅音[j]开头的要用a,排除B和C；physics是学科名词,前面不用冠词。
3.英文字母前用a还是用an的问题
在26个英文字母中,A [ei], e [i], f [ef], h [eitf]I [ai], l[el]m [em] , n [en] o [ou] r[a] s[es]x [eks]
等12个字母的读音是以元音开头的,因此前面要用an。其余字母则是以辅音开头的。如：
Plea pay attention to your spelling. You have dropped ________ "m" here. <全国卷>
A. an B. the C. / D. a
There is a "u’ ,an ‘m’ and a ‘p’ in the word "jump:.
[分析]答案选A。因为字母m的发音是以元音[e]开头的,所以用an；这里的an的意义与one相当,表示"一个"。an NBA star一个篮球明星an MIT student. 一个麻省理工的学生
