1、语境暗示法在解答冠词类试题时，要注意三大原则：一是判断表示泛指还是特指；二是判断空格后的名词是可数名词还是不可数名词；三是判断空格后的名词是抽象名词还是具体名词。1(2013新课标全国卷)India attained _ independence in 1947, after _ long struggle.A不填； a Bthe; aCan; 不填 Dan; the解析：选A考查冠词。independence为抽象名词，因此其前不用冠词；struggle前由long来修饰此处表示具体的事物，其前应用冠词a。故选A。2(2013重庆高考)The parents were shocked by
