We use it in English without always noticing or appreciating it. Its not much to look at. It isnt descriptive, emotive or inspiring. Technically, its me
25、aningless. And yet this dull and harmless-seeming word could be one of the most powerful words in the English language. “The” tops the lists of most frequently used words in English, accounting for 5% of every 100 words used. But why is this? The answer is two-fold. The principle of least effort pla
26、ys a major part. So people use it a lot. At the same time, “the” lies at the heart of English grammar, having a function rather than a meaning. Words are split into two categories: expressions with a semantic (语义的) meaning and functional words like “the”, “to”, “for”, with a job to do. Although “the
27、” has no meaning in itself, “it seems to be able to do things in subtle and miraculous ways,” says Michael Rosen, poet and author. Consider the difference between “he scored a goal” and “he scored the goal”. The inclusion of “the” immediately signals something important about that goal. Perhaps it w
28、as the only one of the match? Or maybe it helped a team win the championship? Context very often determines sense. This simplest of words can be used for dramatic effect.

29、ho, the audience may wonder, does “the” refer to? The living King or a dead King?

Which of the following describes the word “the” corr
30、ectly?A. It is often overlooked. B. It is useless in practice. C. It is dull and descriptive. D. It is in every English sentence. 29. The word “the” is frequently used because it is _.A. brief and functionalB. popular and uniqueC. effective and emotiveD. meaningful and expressive30. What does the ex
31、ample in Paragraph 3 imply?A. “A” is not as important as “the”. B. Words should be understood in the context. C. Its impossible to understand a single sentence.D. Some words have a clearer meaning than others. 31. Why did the writer of the play stress “the” in “Looks it not like the King”?A. To show
32、 his confusion. B. To add drama to the scene. C. To repeat the guards words. D. To help the audience understand.语篇类型：说明文 主题语境：人与C语篇解读本文讲述了英语语言当中不可或缺的the的运用。28.

33、he，故答案选A项。29. A。间接信息题。根据第二段第四、五句The principle of least effort plays a major part. So people use it a lot. At the same time, “the” lies at the heart of English grammar, having a function rather than a meaning，可知单词“the”简单但起重要作用，所以人们经常使用它，与此同时，“the”是英语语法的核心，它具有功能而不是意义，故答案选A项（简单的和具有功能的）。30. B。隐含意义推测题。根据
34、题干定位到第三段。根据第三段的举例比较the scored a goal和he scored the goal两者不同含义，“the”一词也许强调唯一射门?或者也许它帮助一支球队赢得了冠军?结合最后一句Context very often determines sense可知，语境常常决定单词的意义，故答案选B项。31. B。直接信息题。根据最后一段通过举例戏剧哈姆雷特结合第一句This simplest of words can be used for dramatic effect。可知作者使用Looks it not like the King是让读者感到惊讶和有趣，甚至有点不安，给场景

Had we done nothing, Timothy would have spent the holiday in our bellies. But at the same time, a sense of guilt came over us. We decided to be hon

Not only were we not punished, but also we were given the responsibility to take care of Timothy from that day on. It all began when my y
