We went right round to the west coast by _________ sea instead of driving across _________ continent.
A．the; the B．不填；the
C．the; 不填 D．不填；不填

B



B。by sea为固定短语，意为“乘船”，其中不用冠词；第二空要用定冠词，因为此处为特指。

答案b 此题考查固定搭配中零冠词的用法以及定冠词表特指的用法。句意：我们乘船绕道去西海岸，而没有开车（直接）穿过大陆去。by sea坐船，等于by ship，不需加冠词，类似的还有by bus, by air. continent这里是特指，为说话双方所知道，故其前加定冠词the。
