1.What's born has to die—— that's ____ law of _____ nature independent of man's will.( a; / ) 题目的意思有些不懂
Law of nature 自然法则 nature只用在特指的时候才加the,如,
know the nature or character of.知道某事物的本质或特征.
change completely the nature of something.完全改变事物的本质.
因为law是可数名词,所以用a来修饰.
2.Milk is measured in _____ pints when bought over a lunch counter,but gasoline is sold by ____ gallon.（/; the） 是不是sth.is sold by 后面一定要加定冠词?
In pints 表示按品脱---（测量,称重）,
In 后面加表示单位的名词复数形式,如 in dozens,in scores
By + the + 单位名词,表示按照---
3.While some people use little white lies to make life easier,there are still other who care about _____ honesty in ______ public.（/;/） 为什么honesty 前面要用零冠词?in public 不算honesty的定语吗?
因为honest是抽象名词,所以不能用an来修饰；in public 指在公众面前,在这句话中作状语,不是定语.
4.The African kept trying to escape,which in those days was to attempt ______ impossible.( the ) 句中的which 指什么?
这是一个非限制性定语从句,which在这里指代的是前面的一句话,即The African kept trying to escape这件事
5.The flight to Antarctica was delayed by ______ absence of ______ information about the weather conditions there.( the; /) 第二空为什么零冠词?about.不算是限定了information吗?
本题目其实就是考察短语：the absence of + (抽象)名词,所以不用冠词修饰.
6.The company advertised for a secretary with _____ good command of English and ______ experience in handling office work.(a;/) 为什么第二空不能用the
Experience 表示“经验”,是抽象名词,后面的in handing office work 作experience 的定语,不需要用the来特指.
如果后面的experience用特指的话,前面的也要特指.
7.------- Louder,please.I can't hear you at all.
------- Oh,it's ____ noise of _____ traffic outside.Would you sit in the front?
(the;/) 为什么traffic前不加the?outside不算特指吗?
因为这句话得中心词是noise,而不是traffic,outside不是特指,它只是修饰traffic,作traffic的定语.
而noise是抽象名词,在这里是特指,所以用了the.
你问的一些题目都是一些关于抽象名词的题目,抽象名词的最大特点是不能用a/an修饰（当让抽象名词具体化的词如success,failure,等词除外）.这里你要记住一点,并不是说抽象名词后有词修饰了就要用特指,一般情况下都是前面没有任何冠词的,即是零冠词.
