1.China,__D__ home of tea,has ________ history of more than 4,000 years.(2015,黄石)
A.the;the B.a;a
C.a;the D.the;a
【解析】本题考查冠词的用法。中国是茶的故乡,此时home前要加定冠词the表特指;have a history of表示“拥有……的历史”,其中history前要加不定冠词a。
2.None of them talked.They finished their meal in __A__.(2015,苏州)
A.silence B.order C.place D.public
【解析】本题考查名词的词义理解。结合题干中的“没有人说话”可推断,他们“沉默地”吃完了饭。in silence意为“沉默地;不出声地”,故所缺的词是silence。
