In ____ week or so.I' 11 be among ______ unemployed, I' m afraid.

A./;a

B.a;/

C.a; the

D.the; a

答案

C

题目分析:考查冠词。第一空用a表示数词,相当于one;第二空考查了形容词前面加上the表示“…一类人”如:the poor穷人;the rich富人;本句的the unemployed指失业的人。句意:大约一个星期以后,恐怕我就是失业的人之一了。故C正确。

点评:冠词的考查集中在the表示特指,a/an表示泛指;同时也要注意构成的一些固定用法和一些不使用冠词的情况,如物质名词,抽象名词前面不使用冠词。
