例1、I earn 10 dollars_________ hour as _________ supermarket cashier on Saturdays. A. a...an B. the...a C. an...a D. an...the 答案为C。
【解析】 hour以元音开头,前面加不定冠词an,an hour“每小时”;a表示“一个”,放在supermarket cashier前面表示类指,说明属哪类人。译文:星期六我作为超市出纳员每小时挣10美元。a/an的用法规则:以元音音素开头的单词前用an,以辅音音素开头的单词前用a。

A. a…a B. the…the C. a…the D. the…a 答案为C。
【解析】 注意序数词前面的冠词的用法:当序数词表示顺序时用定冠词the;表示再来一次使用不定冠词a (an)。从句子的意思可知,third one表示再吃一个,所以填a;second one表示所吃的第二个,所以填the。这句话的意思是:蛋糕很好吃。他想再吃一个,因为他吃的第二个太小了。
