曾有這樣一道高考題:“Have you seen _________ pen? I left it here this morning.” “Is it _________ black one? I think I saw it somewhere.”
A. a, the????????????????? B. the, the?????????????? C. a, a????????????????????? D. the, a

【分析】此題容易誤選A,生搬硬套冠詞用法規(guī)則:第一次提到某人或某事物用不定冠詞,第二次再提到該人或該事物時(shí)用定冠詞。但事實(shí)上,此題的第二空 Is it _________ black one? 中的one 并非指前面提到的 pen,即這里的 one 與前面的 pen 并非同一事物。另外,從后面的 I think I saw it somewhere(我想我在哪個(gè)地方見過)我想我在哪個(gè)地方見過可知前一句的 black one 不能是特指的,而應(yīng)是泛指的,故應(yīng)用不定冠詞。此題正確答案為 C。
現(xiàn)在我們來把此題變化一下:“Have you seen _________ pen? I left it here this morning.” “Is it _________ black one? I found it in the corner.”
A. a, the?????????????????? B. the, the????????????????
C. a, aB. the, the????????????????????? D. the, a

這樣一改,此題的最佳答案就是 A,而不是C了。

A. a, a????????????????????? B. a, the??????????????????? C. the, a?????????????????? D. the, the【分析】此題很容易誤選B,認(rèn)為第一次提到 girl 用不定冠詞,第二次提到就應(yīng)該用定冠詞。但是,句中第二次提到 girl 時(shí)并不是特指的,此句實(shí)為一省略句,補(bǔ)充完整可視為是:My friend Mary is a beautiful girl and she is a girl everyone likes to work with. 比較以下各例(第二個(gè)girl 前用了定冠詞,因?yàn)槟鞘翘刂?:
  
為此他問了一個(gè)女孩,但這個(gè)女 this he asked a girl, but the girl refused to answered him. 幾天前他在公園遇到一個(gè)女孩,這個(gè)女孩沖他笑了笑。
