2019年mpacc考试英语真题——冠词850

{01}At ____ present we are going through a hard time, but I’m sure ____ things will get better in the near future.

A.the; the

B.the; 不填

C.不填; the

D.不填; 不填

解析：考查冠词。句意：目前我们要度过一段艰难时刻，但是我坚信在不久的将来情况会变得更好。前文为固定短语at present在目前，下文泛指任何事情，things复数名词，泛指不用冠词，故选D。
本题选D。
{02}Yin Ping military attack on North Island was turned into ______ sea of fire in ______ disputed waters near North Korea.

A.a; the

B.不填; a

C.the; the

D.不填; the

解析：考察冠词。前文变成一片火海，泛指，用不定冠词，下文disputed waters后有限定性修饰语，为特指，故用定冠词the。选A。
本题选A。
