七、冠词的使用错误
冠词是英语限定词中最主要的一种，有且仅有两种形式：不定冠词 a （或者 an ）和定冠词 the .但是冠词又是英语中最为常用的词类，而且由于汉语中没有与之对应的词类，所以考生对冠词的用法的掌握尤感困难。冠词的使用错误一般包括如下情况：
1. 该用冠词时漏用，如 all of sudden → all of a sudden ， tell truth → tell the truth ；
2. 不该用冠词时赘用，如 in the contrast → in contrast ， give a rise to → give rise to ； keep a pace with → keep pace with ；
3. the 与 a/an 误用，如 on a whole → on the whole ；
4. a 与 an 混用，如 a “ s ” sign → an “ s ” sign ， to a extent → to an extent ， a honor → an honor .
例 1
We were very much surprised that the village
was such long way from the main road. 1.__________
在“ such+a（an）+ 形容词 + 名词”结构中，定冠词不能省略，所以应该在 such 后加上不定冠词 a .
例 2
“I considered it a honor to be invited to address 1.__________
the meeting of world-famous scientists,“ said
professor Johnson.
“ honor ”虽然首字母为 h ，却是一个以元音开头的单词，显然应该使用不定冠词 an ，这类题一般出现频率较少，却也容易犯错，在改错题应该格外注意，不容出错。
例 3
The nude human body at the rest must begin to 1.__________
combat a lowering of body temperature when the
air temperature stands at approximately 31.0℃．
“ at rest ”为习惯用语，表示“处于休息状态”的意思，中间不用任何冠词，故应该将 the 删去。
例 4
Geologists have been studying volcanoes for a long
time. Though they have learned great deal, they still 1.__________
have not discovered the causes of volcanic action.
“ a great deal ”表示“大量的，许多的”的意思，后面接不可数名词，此为习惯用法，前面不定冠词 a 不能省略。
