【答案点拨】
1. 答案选A。第一空应填a，因为此处为泛指，故可排除D；第二空应填a，不用an，因为used虽然以元音字母开头，但它的读音却是[ju:st]，故其前不能用an，故可排除B；又因为第二空后的名词不是物指，故用a，不用the，故可排除C。
2. 答案选B。根据语境，此处的age并非特指，故不能用定冠词；而early的读音以元音开头，故用an，不用a。
3. 答案选B。由于umbrella读音以元音开头，且此处为泛指，故其前用an。
4. 答案选B。由于young man后面有with long hair修饰，为特指，故其前用定冠词。句意为：留长头发的那个人是谁？
5. 答案选A。此题填定冠词表特指，即特指这家宾馆的名字。句意为：我们在南京时住在一家很不错的宾馆，但我不记得那家宾馆的名字了。
6. 答案选A。walk用作名词时，是可数的，可以连用不定冠词。又如：Let’s go for a walk along the river. 咱们到江边散散步。They invited her to go for a walk. 他们请她一起去散步。
7. 答案选A。表示演奏乐器时，乐器名词前习惯上要用定冠词，故选A。
8. 答案选D。第一空后的soccer（足球）为球类动词名词，其前不用冠词，故可排除C；而piano（钢琴）为乐器名词，其前习惯上要用定冠词，故可排除A和B。
9. 答案为C。the在此表特指，因为Walkman后受到定语从句that I bought last yea的修饰。句意为：西蒙，你瞧，我去年买的随身听现在就坏了。
10. 答案为B。由于空格后的名词boy为单数可数名词，所以其前不能不用冠词，故可排除D；又因为此处的boy并非特指，所以可排除C；再根据 eleven的读音可知，应选B而不是a。
11. 答案为A。第一空填不定冠词，表泛指；第二填定冠词，表示特指（注意其后修饰talk的定语从句our teacher asked us to listen to）。
12. 答案为A。a glass of意为“一杯……”，其中要用不定冠词。又如：a cup of（一杯）、a bowl of（一碗）、a bag of（一袋）等。
13. 答案选B。第一空填定冠词，表示特指，即特指说话者的键盘；第二空填不定冠词，表示泛指，即对于任何一台电脑来说，我们都不应该把饮料放在上面。
14. 答案选B。定冠词在此表特指，即特指对方新学校的地址。
15. 答案选B。由于address表示“地址”时为可数名词，且此处并非特指，故用不定冠词，而其后的e-mail读音以元音开头，故用an。
