二、解法指导
在语法填空中，若名词前没有上述限定词，尤其是单数可数名词前，很有可能是填限定词。结构一般是：限定词+形容词+名词。填哪个限定词，必须视句意和语境而定。
[例1]（2009年广东）Besides，shopping at this time of the year was not ________ pleasant experience...
解析：因experience作“经历”解，是可数名词，即题中的experience是单数可数名词，前面没有限定词，应填限定词；句意：此外，在一年当中的这个时候去购物不是“一次”令人愉快的经历。故填a。
[例2]（2010年广东）A young man，while traveling through a desert，came across a spring of clear water. ________ water was sweet.
解析：前面出现过water，后面再次提到，故应该填定冠词The。
[例3]（2011年广东）We had ________ amazing conversation.
解析：单数可数名词conversation前无限定词，应填限定词；表示“一次”用不定冠词；又因为后面的单词是以元音音素开头，故用an。句意：我们进行了“一次”令人惊奇的对话。
[例4]（2011年广东）But she quickly realized that it wasn’t her， it was probably the fact that she sat in ________ last row.
解析：序数词前面一般用定冠词the，如：the first， the second...等，故填the。
[例5]（2011年广东）I didn’t want to be laughed at for talking to him but I didn’t like leaving him on ________ own either.
解析：因on one’s own是固定结构，是“单独”的意思，故填his。
[例6]（2007年广东）I had noticed three hens running free in my hostess’s courtyard and that night one of them ended up in a dish on my table. ________ villagers brought me goat’s cheese and hone.
解析：不定代词充当定语，修饰后面的名词villagers。句意：女主人热心招待我，“其他的”村民也给我带来了羊奶酪和蜂蜜。故填Other，也可填Some，指“有些村民”。
[例7]（2007年广东）After the student left，the teacher let ________ student taste the water.
解析：单数可数名词student前没有限定词，空格处应填限定词。句意：那个学生离开之后，老师叫“另一个”学生来尝一下水的味道。故填another。

Without hesitation we sent her to 7 nearest hospital， where we waited anxiously， worrying about 8 safety. Eventually the doctor had 9 operation on 10 elderly lady successfully. Hearing 11 good news， 12 people present felt relieved and relaxed. Two hours later， she came to herself gradually and looked at us with 13 smile. To

参考答案
冠词的陷阱
1. a 2. a 3. an 4. an 5. an 6. an 7. an 8. a 9. an 10. an 11. an 12. a
技巧点拨：
（1）以u开头的单词，若u在该单词中发的是本字母的音而又是泛指的话，前面就用不定冠词a来修饰，如1和2题。
（2） 以u开头的单词，若u发的不是本字母的音而又是泛指的话，就用不定冠词an来修饰，如3和4题。
（3）有些单词是以元音字母开头但读音却不是以元音音素开头，表示泛指时要用不定冠词a，如8和12。
（4）有的单词不是以元音字母开头，但读音以元音音素开头，表示泛指时则用不定冠词an，如5，6和7题；9，10和11题，因为空白处后面的名词以元音音素开头，故用an。
