【模拟解析】

1. C。the West (西方、西洋)是固定搭配；指类似于…的人或物时，专有名词前用冠词，而Shanghai又受of the West修饰，所以用the。

2. C。第一空 an 用于以元音音素开头的词前；第二空泛指有英语知识的人。

3. D。不定冠词 a 用于以辅音音素开头的词前（指发音而不是字母），如：a university；而 an 用于以元音音素开头的词前，如 an uncle / an honest man.

4. D。第一空是序数词前用a表示“又一”；辅音字母n, f, h, l, m, n, r, s, x和元音字母a, e, i, o的读音，均以元音开头，所以第二空填an。

5. D。第一空是泛指用a, a heavy pressure意为“一种很大的压力”；当whole修饰单数名词表示“全(部的), 整个的”时，前面用one’s或the，又如the whole evening / truth整个晚上 / 全部真相。

6. C。and 并列的是同一事物同一人同一概念时，其后面的名词前不用冠词。

7. D。比较：put into prison=坐牢；go to the prison=去监狱。

8. D。“the +形容词比较级+of the two +名词复数”结构表示：两者中较怎样的一个。

9. B。in front of=在……前面（指范围之外）；in the front of=在……前部（指范围之内）。

10. A。in charge of 的意思是“负责”、“管理”，其主语通常是人；in the charge of 的意思是“由……负责或管理”，其主语通常是物。

11. B。第一空特指毛衣暖和程度，用定冠词；第二空后的名词表示织毛衣用的羊毛，属泛指，故不用冠词。

12. A。as a rule(通常地)是固定词组；在度量名词前，表示付工资、卖、租等方式时，用the，又如paid by the hour / day / month / piece, sold by the yard / dozen / ton，比较by weight(按重量)。

13. B。如果表示季节、月份的名词被一个限制性定语修饰，其前就得加定冠词；而 on business 是固定搭配，中间不用冠词。

14. A。the number of “…的数量”；weather与fun, news, advice, information等均为不可数名词，无论什么情况，都不可直接与a连用。

15. B。fire 为“火灾”，不确指，用零冠词；而 red button 指 sign上的红按钮，故为特指，用定冠词。
