26、When is the correct time to use the article (冠词) “a” and “an”? We know “a bike” and “an apple”. But is it “a URL” or “an URL”? What exactly is the rule? Despite the confusion on when to use these two words, the rule regarding their use is actually quite simple.

The basic rule for using “a” in a sentence is: Use “a” before words, or letters that begin with a sound of a consonant (辅音字母), regardless of their spelling, such as a dog, a university, a CBS news report.

The important part is the sound of the word that follows, not necessarily the letter with which it starts. The above examples have words that begin with vowels (元音字母) and consonants, but we use “a” for all of them because they begin with the sound of a consonant.

“An” is used before words, or letters that begin with a vowel sound, regardless of their spelling, such as an idea, an honor, an HTML document.

The rule only becomes tricky when you have a vowel with a consonant sound or a consonant with a vowel sound. When you come across these, ignore what the first letter is and just listen to the sound that it makes.

What if an adjective (形容词) is added in front of a noun (名词)? Some people aren’t sure how to apply this rule when an adjective appears before the noun being referred to. The same rule still applies. “A” is used before words starting in consonant sounds and “an” is used before words starting with vowel sounds. It doesn’t matter if the word is an adjective, a noun, or anything else; the rule is exactly the same.

【1】What’s the purpose of paragraph 1?

A．To bring up the topic.

B．To bring forward a suggestion.

C．To explain the importance of rules.

D．To tell the background of the text.

【2】What determines the choice between “a” and “an”?

A．The first letter of the noun.

B．The spellings of the noun.

C．The first letter after them.

D．The first sound after them.

【3】What can be learnt about the rule mentioned in the text?

A．It varies from context to context.

B．It confuses only native speakers.

C．It is simple but sometimes tricky.

D．It is not in common use grammatically.

【4】How is the text mainly developed?

A．By making comparisons.

B．By giving explanations and examples.

C．By applying previous data.

D．By bringing out the facts and reasons.

28、   You might not regard England, which is famous for its almost year round rain, as a place with a water shortage problem. However, James Bevan, head of the UK Environment Agency, warned at a recent conference that England will lack water within 25 years.

A major reason for the shortage is climate change. As recently as 2017, Britain saw its driest 10-month period in over 100 years. In 2018, below-average rainfall caused many reservoirs (水库) to run dangerously low. It’s predicted that, by 2040, over half of UK summers will be hotter than the summer of 2003, and water supply from rivers could fall by between 50-80 percent, according to CNN. In 2003, the UK experienced one of the most significant heat waves in recorded history.

Another major reason is that the British waste too much water in daily life. On average each person uses about 140 liters of water per day through a combination of showers, washing machines and garden hoses, according to the BBC. Bevan said people should try to save water and that they could cut their daily water use from 140 to 100 liters. “There re simple steps we can take... Get a low flush toilet, Take short showers...” he said during the conference.

While England may not be the only place facing a water shortage, some other areas have taken measures to avoid one. Israel, for example, recycles waste water, which makes up 40% of the country’s agricultural water.

Wherever you’re in the world, water is precious. Our world is 70% covered by water, but only 2.5% of it is fresh, and only 1% is easily accessible. So let’s try to save the water we’re lucky enough to have and not be wasteful.

【1】What can be the best main idea of the passage?

A. English people are wasting too much water.

B. England may run short of water in the near future.

C. Climate change causes water shortage in England.

D. English people should solve the problem with water shortage.

【2】What’s the purpose of writing the passage?

A. To call on people to save water together.

B. To educate people about the importance of water.

C. To inform people of the water problem in England.

D. To introduce ways to solve the water shortage problem.

【3】Where can you probably find the article?

A. In a textbook. B. In a research report.

C. In a travel journal. D. In a newspaper.

29、Films to watch in March
