6、冠词用法。语意：你今天看到的成都市与昔日迥然不同。you see today是定语从句，所以前一个空格处是特指；后一个空格处所要表达的意思是“一座不同的城市”，是泛指，用不定冠词a。8(2010年河北邯郸一模)After the 8.8 magnitude earthquake，_ large number of the injured are in _ hospital in Chile.Athe；/ Ba；theCthe；the Da；/解析：选D。句意：在那场8.8级大地震后，智利很多受伤的人住进了医院。a number ofmany，后加复数名词；本句中的the injured(伤病员

12、零冠词连用；threat(对别人构成威胁的人或物)为单数可数名词，在本句中表泛指，故第二空用不定冠词；on the contrary固定搭配，故用定冠词。对于设空较多的试题，可采用排除法，本题中若知道on the contrary这一短语，就可直接排除A、C两项；China为专有名词，不与冠词连用，故排除B项。15(2010年江苏南京二模)We work together to achieve our common purpose：_ world that is safer，cleaner and healthier than _ one we have founded.Athe；the Ba
