參考答案:1.As is known to us,----life in--------modern world is easier in some ways than ------life our grandparents lived.
选C
第一个life 是泛指，所以不用冠词。the modern world 指现代化的世界，是特指现在的时代，要用定冠词the。下面一个life 同样也是特指，指我们祖父那一代的生活，也要用the.
2.Do you know ____art in the 18th century played____ more important part in people’s lives than it does today？
选B
艺术在18世纪，是指艺术这种事物，不用冠词.注意题中用的是in!
如果是of,就成了18世纪的艺术了，要用the 了
后面的一个空是一个词组play a part in sth.在...中起作用。题中只不过多了more important 修饰part的部分，不影响词组结构。
但要是没有more 注意要用an了。
3.Yasir Arafat, the symbol of _______ Palestinian Revolution for _______ independent state for some 40 years, died on Now. 11 in a Paris hospital.
选D
意为：巴基斯坦民族独立40年革命的象征阿拉法特于12.11在巴黎医院去世。
巴基斯坦的革命是特指，故用the . for后面是的是为一个民族的独立，是泛指，要用an
