高考对冠词的考查几乎每年都有一道题，而且都设两空，以增加覆盖面和难度。考生在冠词试题上失分较多，主要是缺乏语感，对一些知识点掌握不够透彻。高考冠词主要考查其基本用法，包括定冠词与不定冠词的区别用法、名词前省略冠词的场合、特指与泛指的区分以及习语中冠词的用法等。

　　考点一、 考查不定冠词a / an表示个别或泛指的用法

　　1. How about taking_____short break? I want to make_____call.

　　A. the; a B. a; the C. the; theD. a; a

　　【解析】 答案为D。take a short break“休息一会儿”， make a call“打一个电话”。

　　2. Christmas is_____special holiday when_____whole family are supposed to get together.

　　A. the; the B. a; a

　　C. the; a D. a; the

　　【解析】 答案为D。a special holiday指“某一个特别的节日”;the whole family为特指。

　　考点二、 考查定冠词the特指某一个人或事物的用法

　　1. I looked under_____bed and found books I lost last week.

　　A. the; a B. the;the

　　C. 不填;the D. the; 不填

　　【解析】 答案为B。此题中的the bed和the books都为特指。the bed 指“所看的床”;the books指“所丢的书”。

　　A. a; theB. a; aC. the; a D. the; the

　　【解析】 答案为C。 the color指“你衬衫的颜色”;a good match泛指“和你的外套相配的一种好颜色”。

　　考点三、 考查不定冠词及零冠词的习惯搭配

　　1. George couldn’t remember when he first met Mr. Anderson, but he was sure

　　it was Sunday because everybody was at church.

　　A. /; the B. the; / C. a; / D. /; a

　　【解析】 答案为C。a Sunday泛指某一个星期天;at church为固定搭配，不用冠词，意为“在做礼拜”。

　　2. Many people have come to realize that they should go on_____balanced diet and makeroom in their day for exercise.

　　A. a; / B. the; a C. the; the D. /; a

　　【解析】 答案为A。a balanced diet泛指“一种平衡的饮食”;make room为固定搭配，意为“腾出空间”。

　　考点四、 考查不定冠词在具体化的抽象名词前的用法

　　1. —How about_____Christmas evening party?

　　—I should say it was_____success.

　　A. a; a B. the; a

　　C. a; 不填 D. the; 不填

　　【解析】 答案为B。the Christmas evening party为特指刚结束的圣诞晚会;a success考查抽象名词具体化时的不定冠词用法。success原为抽象名词，不可数, 但在此处已经完全具体化而变为可数名词。题中a success意为“一次成功的晚会”。当抽象名词表示具有某种特性、状态、情感、情绪的人和事时，这个抽象名词已经变为可数名词，再如What a pleasant surprise you gave us! 意为“你真的给我们带来了惊喜”。
