--- Why did you laugh just now?
--- John wanted to tell us      very funny joke, but he forgot      end himself.

A./; theB.a; anC.a; theD.the; the

C

解析试题分析:句意:刚才你为什么笑?——约翰想给我们讲一个非常有趣的笑话,但是他自己忘了结尾。结合语境可知下文前一空泛指任何一个有趣的故事,故用不定冠词。下文特指前文故事的结尾,故用定冠词,选C。
考点:冠词
点评:冠词是一种虚词,一般用于名词前面表示特指或者泛指某一个。冠词的应用都用一定规则,熟记这些规则是解题的关键。不定冠词用在名词前,表示泛指任何一个。定冠词用在名词前表示特指某一个。在专有名词及表示泛指的复数名词前一般不要冠词,叫做零冠词。需注意的是不定冠词的用法是看词首音素,不是看首字母,如:useful首字母是元音,但是词首音素时辅音,故不定冠词用a;hour首字母是辅音,但是词首音素是元音,故用冠词an。
