In the face of _____ failure, it is the most important to keep up _____ good state of mind. A．/; a B．a; / C．the; / D．/; the

Answer 1

A

试题分析：考查冠词的用法。句意：面对失败时，最重要的就是保持一份好心情。英语中部分抽象名词failure，success，surprise，pleasure等为不可数名词，当指具体的人或事的时候才是可数名词，如：Madame Curie is a great success.居里夫人是非常成功的人士。此处的failure为抽象名词，故使用零冠词。a或an可表示“某一个”或“某一份”等表示泛指的概念，a good state of mind一份好心情。故A正确。
