题目

The child had only slight temperature,but the doctor regarded illness as s
The child had only ------ slight temperature,but the doctor regarded ——illness as serious enough for—— hospital treatment.
A./; /; the
B.a; /; /
C.a; the; /
D./; the; the
为什么?

答案

第一空:slight temperature 的意思是有点发烧,一般我们说类似词语的时候会有固定的搭配,比如catch a cold ,have a fever ,have a toothache 等等,都会带上不定冠词 a .
第二空:前面已经提到病（也就是发烧）,再提到illness的时候,当然应该加上定冠词the,表示指代的同一事物.
第三空:hospital treatment是住院治疗的意思,他是一个抽象的概念,不是单一的治疗方法,不用a,也不特指哪种或哪几种治疗方法,故不用the.
