    No one hopes the two countries will be at ________ war, because ______ peace is what everyone wants.

    A．the; theB．a; aC．the; /D．/; /

    D

    解析试题分析：考查冠词。本题第一空是固定词组at war进行战争；在战争中；第二空的peace是抽象名词和平；句意：没有人希望这两个国家卷入战争，因为和平是人们所想要得到的。故D正确。
    考点：考查冠词
    点评：冠词的考查集中在定冠词the表示特指，不定冠词a/an表示泛指；以及冠词的一些特殊用法和固定词组，还有一些不使用冠词的情况，如抽象名词，物质名词前面就不要冠词。还要掌握冠词的特殊的用法，如不可数名词变成可数名词；抽象名词具体化等。

    Hopping Around the World

    　　Hopscotch(跳房子)is a very old game．It usually uses a puck, such as a stone, and a pattern(picture)that players hop(跳跃)through．Here are some different ways to play hopscotch．

    　　Escargot

    　　Escargot is the French word for “snail．” So its pattern looks like a snail．No puck is used．Players hop through on one foot．You may rest in the center on both feet．Then, hop back and write your name in a space．No other player may land in that space．At the end, the player who owns the most spaces wins．

    　　Pele

    　　Children play Pele on the island of Aruba with a stone or coin．Throw the puck into the first box and hop into Box 2．Then, hop up to the top and turn around．Come back to Box 2 and pick up the puck．Hop over Box 1 and out of the pattern．Next, throw the puck into Box 2 and start again．If you make a mistake, you lose your turn．The first player to hop through the pattern wins．

    　　Gat Fei Gei

    　　In this Chinese way, the puck is a piece of stone．At the top is the pig's head．Throw the puck into the pig's head and hop through．When you reach boxes 7 and 8, turn around and pick up the puck from behind．If you hop through the pattern without making a mistake, pick a box and write your name in it．No one else can land in that box! The player who owns the most boxes wins．

    　　La Thunkuna

    　　Children play this game in Bolivia．The puck is a stone or the skin from an orange．Instead of writing a number in each square, players write each day of the week．Throw the puck into the first box．Hop over it into the second box．Next, kick the puck backwards and out of the pattern．Then, hop out．On your next turn, throw the puck into the next box and so on．The first player to hop all the way through wins．

    　　No one knows for sure when advertising first started．It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them．That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus, on doing one specific job．

    　　Let's take a man we'll call Mr．Fielder, for example．He did everything connected with fanning．He planted seeds, tended the fields?and harvested and sold his crops．At the same lime, he did many other jobs on the farm．However, he didn't make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows(犁), or any of the other hundreds of things a farm needs．Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things．

    　　Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr．Plowright．Using what he knew about fanning and working with iron, Mr．Plowright invented a plow that made fanning easier．Mr．Plowright did not really like fanning himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows．Perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow far one of my plows．

    　　How did Mr．Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why, he advertised, of course．First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers．That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the ＄hop door．It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr, Plowright and his really good plows．

    　　Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand yean; ago．Even before most people could read, they understood such signs．Shopkeeper?would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the product they had for sale．

    　　A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message．You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols．The second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today．Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get people's attention．

    　　A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily．It is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city．In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such b person to spread the news about their products．Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods．Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality．His job was, in other words, not too different from a TV or radio commercial in today's world．

    Pepito the Brave    By Scott Beck, Dutton, ISBN 0-525-46524-3, $12.99

       Ah, the time in life when one has to leave home. No one seems to have as hard a time with it as Pepito. Pepito is a little bird who needs to leave the nest, but the problems is, he’s afraid of heights. This makes flying away a bit of a problem, so like most people (or birds in this case) he avoids it, when he finds himself in a new situation, someone happens to give him some advice. A fox suggests he run to where he’s going (I got nervous when he came across a fox, but fortunately the food chain doesn’t apply here), a frog tells him to hop, a gopher to burrow(地洞). After his various attempts not to fly, he makes it to his brothers’ and sister’s new tree, and realizes that what he’s done is much harder than actually trying to fly. It’s a charming story with a good message―often facing up to our fears is much easier than running from them.

           The Stray Dog   By Marc Simont, HarperCollins, ISBN 0-06-028933-3, $15.95

    As someone who has taken in his share of stray animals, I can totally relate to the family in The Stray Dog. While picnicking one day, they befriend a dog that wanders by. Everyone immediately falls in love, but they leave him behind, figuring he belongs to someone else. But as the week goes by, none of them can get the dog, which they’ve named Willy, off their mind. So naturally the next Saturday they go back to that same place to see if Willy’s still there. They find that not only does he not have an owner, but they’ve arrived just in time to prevent a catastrophe. Kids who love animals will definitely get caught up in the action, and even those who don’t will appreciate the quick thinking children who save the day.
