He loves playing ____ piano, but he hasn’t got ____ piano of his own.
A. the, the B. the, a C. a, the D. a, a
此題應(yīng)選B。容易誤選A。有不少考生認(rèn)為樂器名詞前一定要用定冠詞。如：
She plays the piano very well. 她鋼琴?gòu)椀煤谩?/SPAN>
She studies the piano under Mr Smith. 她在史密斯先生的指導(dǎo)下學(xué)習(xí)鋼琴。
He practised (on) the piano every day. 他每天練習(xí)鋼琴。
以上各句均正確, 并且其前的定冠詞通常不能省略(因?yàn)槠渲械?/FONT>piano指的不是鋼琴這個(gè)實(shí)體, 而是指鋼琴演奏、鋼琴理論、鋼琴技巧等抽象意義)。 但是以下各例則沒有用定冠詞(因?yàn)槠渲械?/FONT>piano指的是鋼琴這個(gè)實(shí)體)：
He has two pianos. 他有兩部鋼琴。
He bought a piano for her. 他給她買了部鋼琴。
注意, 球類運(yùn)動(dòng)名詞也有類似特點(diǎn)：
1. 表示球類活動(dòng)時(shí), 不用冠詞(也不用復(fù)數(shù))：
He plays basketball every day. 他每天打藍(lán)球。
He is good at volleyball. 他排球打得好。
2. 表示球類實(shí)體時(shí), 可用冠詞(也可用復(fù)數(shù))：
Did you see a football in the classrooom thismorning? 今天早上你在教室里看見足球了嗎?
There are some basketballs in the corner. 角落里有幾個(gè)藍(lán)球。
4. 物質(zhì)名詞和抽象名詞前何時(shí)用或不用冠詞
The teacher said ____ snow is white, but ____ snow on the road is red. Why?
A. the, the B. ×, × C. the, × D. ×, the
此題應(yīng)選D, 容易誤選B, 誤認(rèn)為：snow是物質(zhì)名詞, 其前永遠(yuǎn)不用冠詞。
在通常情況下, 物質(zhì)名詞和抽象名詞在表示一般概念(即泛指)時(shí), 不用冠詞(即使有描繪性定語修飾也不用冠詞)。但是如果物質(zhì)名詞和抽象名詞不是表示一般概念，而是表示某一特定內(nèi)容(尤其是有一限定性定語修飾)時(shí)，或當(dāng)它們表示“一種”、“一場(chǎng)”、“一份”等意思時(shí)，則可以加冠詞。試做以下試題：
