高三英语：不可数名词前冠词的用法 不可数名词前通常不用冠词，但在下列情况下不可数名词则和可数名词一样，前面需用冠词： (1) 当一个抽象名词或物质名词被限定时，它前面要用定冠词the。 The milk in the bottle has gone sour.  The freedom you discussed just now is nowhereto be found in the world (在世界上根本找不到).  (2) 抽象名词或物质各词的前、后加上表示其特殊性质或类别的修饰语时，该名词前面应加不定冠词a或an，不能用定冠词 the。 This is green tea.  This is a green tea which was picked beforethe first rain in spring.  Amy’s room is furnished with simplicity.  Amy’s room is furnished with a simplicity that is almost elegant.  Mary Lee speaks English with fluency.  Mary Lee speaks English with a fluency no to be expected of an ordinary Chinese school girl.  The man disappeared with suddenness.

C中but在这里用作副词，相当于only. soil(泥土)是物质名词，通常前面不用冠词，但这里soil为形容词barren所修饰，barren soil指不毛之地，barren表示了此soil与其他soil不同的特殊性质，故前面应加上不定冠词a，即a barren soil。
