--- Why did you laugh just now?
--- John wanted to tell us      very funny joke, but he forgot      end himself.

A．/; theB．a(chǎn); anC．a(chǎn); theD．the; the

C

解析試題分析：句意：剛才你為什么笑？——約翰想給我們講一個(gè)非常有趣的笑話，但是他自己忘了結(jié)尾。結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知下文前一空泛指任何一個(gè)有趣的故事，故用不定冠詞。下文特指前文故事的結(jié)尾，故用定冠詞，選C。
考點(diǎn)：冠詞
點(diǎn)評(píng)：冠詞是一種虛詞，一般用于名詞前面表示特指或者泛指某一個(gè)。冠詞的應(yīng)用都用一定規(guī)則，熟記這些規(guī)則是解題的關(guān)鍵。不定冠詞用在名詞前，表示泛指任何一個(gè)。定冠詞用在名詞前表示特指某一個(gè)。在專有名詞及表示泛指的復(fù)數(shù)名詞前一般不要冠詞，叫做零冠詞。需注意的是不定冠詞的用法是看詞首音素，不是看首字母，如：useful首字母是元音，但是詞首音素時(shí)輔音，故不定冠詞用a；hour首字母是輔音，但是詞首音素是元音，故用冠詞an。

　　Zheng He, the Columbus of the East, was an amazing man．

　　He was born in 1371 and, 11 years later, was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to work for him．Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends．In 1403 Zhu Di was made the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his new government．

　　The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power．He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader．Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world．He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East．A few people think his ships may have even reached South America and Australia．

　　On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods．He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe．

　　It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He s travels．After he died in 1433, the new king, who believed these trips were unlucky and too expensive, had them stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels．It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of the great Zheng He．
