2019年mpacc考试英语真题——冠词365

{01}The driver was at ________ loss when ________ word came that he was forbidden to drive because of speeding.

A.a；the	B./；/
C.the；the	D.a；/

解析：第一空为固定搭配at a loss，意为“不知所措”；第二空word此处意为“消息”，不可数名词，因此前面不加任何冠词。句意为：当这位驾驶员得知他由于超速而被禁驾的消息时，不知所措。
本题选D。
{02}He is 40 and he feels his career as ________ basketball player is coming to ________ end.

A./；the	B./；an
C.a；an	D.a；/

解析：
第一空泛指“一名篮球运动员”，所以用不定冠词；come to an end为固定短语，意为“结束”。
本题选C。
