2019年mpacc考试英语真题——冠词469

{01}Of the two brothers, Bill is ____ younger one, and he is a quiet boy, _____ that most adults like very much.

A.a; one

B.a ; the one

C.the; one

D.the ; the one

解析：考查代词。one 和the one，前者是泛指，后者是特指。后句句子是a quiet boy的同位语，因为a quiet boy 本身就是泛指而不是特指，所以对应的同位语要用one。
本题选C。
{02}During ______ afternoon, the rain became smaller, but towards__________ evening, there was a sudden landslide that buried the village.

A./; the

B.the; /

C.the; the

D.an; the

解析：考察冠词。在下午期间，可知特指某个下午，故用定冠词。towards evening是一个固定搭配“到晚上的时候”，故不用冠词，选B。
本题选B。
