It is reported that a bus went out of _____ control on a highway ____ south of the city last night.

A．/; /

B．/; the

C．the; /

D．the; the

答案

A  

解析

试题分析： 第一空固定短语：out of control“失控”，control前无任何冠词；此题中east为副词，功能上等同于介宾短语，在句中充当地点状语。即：east of the city =" in/on/to" the east of the city.所以，此east不是名词，而是副词，其前面无须加上冠词the.
点评：冠词的考查集中在the表示特指；a/an表示泛指。解答有关冠词的题型可以从两方面入手，一是习惯搭配，二是固定短语。对于固定短语平时应多读多记。
