2019年mpacc考试英语真题——冠词783

{01}．---It is reported that there is _____ big breakthrough in the cancer treatment．
---If only my son could be brought back to _____ life!    

A.a; /

B./; a

C.the; the

D.a; the

解析：考查冠词。a big breakthrough一个大的突破；bring back to life使活泼, 使生动, 使苏醒，根据句意选A。
本题选A。
{02}--- How do you find _________ birthday party of the Blairs?
--- I should say it was __________ complete failure．

A.a; a

B.the; a

C.a; /

D.the; /

解析：考查冠词。结合birthday party后修饰语 of the Blairs，可知此处为特指某人的生日聚会，故用定冠词。下文一个彻底的失败，是泛指用不定冠词。故选B。
本题选B。
