【答案与解析】
1. A。information 是不可数名词，排除 B 和 D。have a word with(和某人谈一下)是固定短语。
2. D。两空均为泛指，用不定冠词。
3. C。in use(在使用中)是固定词组; 第二空是在序数词前加 the，指第13世纪。
4. B。animals 是名词复数表示泛指，不用冠词; kind 是单数可数名词，用 a 表示泛指。此题出自NMET1996中阅读理解C篇的第1句话：Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind unless they hunt them for food.
5. C。airplane 和 experience(经历)都是单数可数名词，表示泛指，因此，要加不定冠词。句意为：从一万英尺高的飞机里跳出来是一次非常激动人心的经历。
6. B。fire 不是特指时不用冠词; red button 是特指，用 the。句意为：那块牌子上写着：“万一失火，就打碎这块玻璃，按那个红色按钮。”
7. D。在表示职业身份的名词前用不定冠词，university 虽以元音字母开头，但读音却以辅音开始，因此用 a。又如，a useful book, a European boy, a one-eyed man 等。physics 是学科名词，前面不用冠词。
8. D。表示“(两者中)较…的那一个”时，用“the+比较级”。
9. D。表示在几十年代，在以 ty 结尾的复数基数词前加 the; 表示在某人几十多岁时，用 one’s 加以 ty 结尾的复数基数词。
10. C。表示打/抓/拍某人的某个部位时，习惯上在部位名称前加the。
11. C。knowledge 虽是不可数名词，没有复数形式，但却常用 a (good) knowledge of 表示“了解 / 懂得 / 熟悉…”。
12. C。a / an 与表度量的词连用，与 per 相当，意为“(每)一”; 表示职业身份的名词前用 a / an。
13. D。在带介词的方位名词前用 the; for the most part (多半，大部分)是固定词组。
14. C。第一空是最高级前用 the; 第二空中 at the end of(在…的尽头或末尾)是固定词组。
15. A。表示双方都知道的前门前用 the; news 是不可数名词，不是特指时不用冠词。
16. B。on the telephone 是固定习语; letters 是名词复数表示泛指，不用冠词。
17. C。序数词前用定冠词表示顺序，用不定冠词表示“又 / 再一”。句意为：蛋糕很好吃，因为他吃的第二块太小了，所以他想再吃一块。
18. B。a / an 一般用于“形容词+单数可数名词”前，但要用于“how / so / as / too + adj.之后”。又如：How clever a boy! / He is so clever a boy. / It is too big a stone.
19. B。前一空填the表示特指; 第二空后reports为复数表泛指，不加冠词。
20. B。因为collection (收藏品，收集物) 是可数名词，此处为单数，又不是特指，所以用不定冠词; books 是名词复数表示种类，而非特指，所以不用冠词。又如：a fine collection of paintings 精美的绘画收藏品(www.yygrammar.com)。
21. B。因为word (话、话语) 是可数名词，without saying a word意为“没有说一句话”; 虽然silence (沉默) 是不可数名词，但此处是特指前面提到的那种沉默，所以用the。
22. A。因为school, college, university, hospital, prison, church, table, bed名词等指其用途时，不用冠词。leave college意为“大学毕业”。又因为表示职业或身份的单数名词前通常要用不定冠词，所以选A。
23. C。因为price是可数名词，在此句中为特指，所以用the。句意是：如果你买10个以上，他们会从那个价钱中减掉20便士。
24. B。因为division后有介词短语between…and…的限制，这是特指的，所以要用the。又因为concern作“所关切的事”解是可数名词，所以前面要用冠词。
25. D。因为house和cottage都是可数名词，且都不是特指，所以都用不定冠词。句意是：威尔逊一家住在海岸附近的一座A形的房子里; 那是一座17世纪时建的别墅。
