Question

Understanding the cultural habits of another nation, especially ____________ containing as many different subcultures as the United States, is very difficult.

A．one

B．that

C．some

D．the one

Answer 1

A

试题分析：句意：要了解一个国家的文化习惯，尤其是像美国这样一个集成了多种文化的国家的文化，是很困难的。这里整个句子的主语是Understanding the cultural habits of another nation，这里one是nation的同位语，这里是泛指，所以前面不用加定冠词，故选A。
点评：本题难度适中。代词在近几年的高考中出现的频率较高，不仅在单选里，还出现在短文改错中。需要考生平时牢记它们的用法。
即学即练：—Johnson, there’re a lot of chairs over there. Go and fetch ________ for me.
—Why ________ ? Mike is sitting there doing nothing.
A. one; me           B. that; not he           C. it; not him            D. some; I 
解析：A。此处one替代a chair；又因为在简略回答中习惯上用宾格。
