Answer 1

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。

Answer 2

1、生命必将逝去--这是不以人类意志为转移的自然法则。
2、不是啦。与gallon这个计量单位有关。类似的还有by weight和by the pound（如果我没记错的话），这种题遇到就背过，积累一下。
3、honesty不可数，显然不能用a；若用the则表示特指，不合语境（上文没有提到具体honesty啊）。in public我认为是地点状语。
4、指.The African kept trying to escape吧，我觉得是非限制性定语从句。
5、about限定absence of information，所以 absence 前加the。
6、experience in handling office work语义上来说还是指一般的办公经验，加the的话有种特指某次具体经历的意味。
7、outside修饰 noise of traffic
注：我是今年高考完的考生，水平有限，不一定全对，仅供参考，希望能帮到你。

1.大概是什么天生就要消亡----这是个不以人的意志为转移的自然法则。
2.表示论加仑、打、斤卖时的用法，有per,every的意义。
3.honesty此为泛指，in public 为固定搭配。
4.the African kept trying to escape
5.the absence of information应看作整体
6.此处experience in handing office work 就是一种泛指的经验，而不是某一个人的经验。
7.同样，把the noise of traffic 看作整体，真正表达的是noise 而不是traffic
