句意为：他们选Tom当队长，因为他们知道他是一位精明的领导者。

第一空captain被“the team”修饰，表示特指，所以用定冠词the；第二空表示泛指，所以用不定冠词a。

故选C项。

2．Life is like ________ ocean: Only ________ strong-willed can reach the other shore.A. an; theB. the; aC. the; /D. /; a答案 A解析考查冠词辨析。

句意为：生活就像一片海洋：只有意志坚强的人才能到达彼岸。

根据题干大意可知，句中的“ocean”不是具体的哪个海洋，而是表示泛指，又因为其开头音素是元音音素，所以用不定冠词an；句中的“strong-willed”是形容词，但在本句中作主语，故其前需用定冠词the，“the＋形容词”表示某一类人。
