答案与解析
C
no＋比较级＋than"和......一样不......"not＋比较级表示"不如......"
A
四个副词的意思分别是skillfully巧妙地, 技术好地；commonly 一般,普通,通常；willingly自动地,欣然地；nervously 焦急地。上文问音乐晚会怎么样？回答是非常好，自然Ales和Andy是娴熟地（skillfully）表演并获得第一名。
B
no＋比较级＋than…意为“与……一样不……”，表示否定。not＋比较级＋than…意为“与……不相上下”，表示肯定。
C
slowly 的比较级是在其前加more， 另外比较级还可以用a bit, a little, a lot, even, far, much等修饰。
B
be particular about表示“对……很挑剔”。
A
still仍，还；even甚至； also也；ever曾经。题意是“尽管在车祸中伤得很重，但司机仍能够打电话。
D
fresh常作表语，意为又有活力，又精神饱满
A
A项simply表示“仅仅，只不过”；B项partly表示“部分地”；C项seriously表示“严肃地，严重地”；D项equally表示“平等地，相等地”。根据句意：经营一家公司不仅仅就是雇人的事情—他们还需要进行培训。故选A。
A
考查比较级和最高级，很容易误选BC。根据句子意思可以看出，孩子非常喜欢白天的旅行，而且他们最喜欢的就是骑马了。（从句子中可以看出白天的旅行中经历了很多事情，骑马只是其中之一，所以选用最高级别most）
C
A项meanwhile,与此同时，表示承接；B however表示转折，D yet，用于否定句，表示仍然。
D
句意为：他才成为一名作家我一点也不奇怪。正当他是孩子的时候，就具有丰富的想象力。Clear表示“清楚的,明确的,澄清的”；cautious 表示“十分小心的,谨慎的”；funny 表示“滑稽的,有趣的”；vivid 表示“生动的,栩栩如生的,鲜艳的”。根据句意应选D。
D
由题干中的but可知，后半句表否定意义，故选D项。the least+形容词（副词）+原形，表示“最不……”。
C
约翰非常的可靠，如果他许诺做某事他一定会做的，所以reliable为答案。
D
badly意为“极为”，他极需赢。
C
A：热情的；B：聪明的；C精力充沛的；D敏感的。
B
在语境中考查副词的用法。根据前面：I’m certain…看出为什么他那么肯定呢？是因为“无论如何他欠债都不是秘密了”。答案C把前因后果弄反了。
D
考查几个形容词的比较级和最高级。一般情况下，获奖后会很激动而无法入睡，那么就应该是feels the least desire to go to bed.。
A
environmentally friendly有利于环境的，环保的
C
考查as…as结构的用法。在英语中，要修饰形容词的比较级，其修饰词应该放在前面，所以B、D项是错误的，另外not也应该放在half前。前一个as为副词，而后一个as为连词。
C
enough修饰形容词，副词需要后置，副词easily修饰动词made. 要克服思维定势，不要看成了“make+宾语+形容词+不定式”的结构了，此处的to为介词，make one’s way to 前往。 区别：The professor spoke slowly to make his words easy enough to understand.
B
collection 常有习惯用法a collection of +名词复数；而根据后面的than又可知用larger.故答案为B。
B
can never be too…with（sth）意思是“对于（某事）怎么…也绝不过分”。
D
be sensitive to对什么敏感。Jerry is even more sensitive to emotional and relationship problems. more sensitive to与more easily troubled by 并列。
B
短语fall far behind意思为“远远的落后于”。
A
Be accessible to 为……能够接近； be relative to 和……有关系； be acceptable to 为……所接受 ； be sensitive to 对……敏感, 易接受。
D
根据语境，后句为前句的补充，所以应选Besides表达“此外”的意思，而still前后从句应一致，是“仍旧是，依旧是”的意思，所以正确答案为D。
C
normal正常的( normal temperature, return to normal); usual通常的（usual time, usual restaurant); regular定时/期的，有规律的（regular breathing; a regular bus service ）; common一般的，常见的（common sense, common names）。
B
too, either“也”不符题意；yet作副词“还，仍然”用于陈述句，位于句中或句末，不用逗号隔开，作为“已经”位于疑问句句末，不用逗号隔开，做连词“然而”往往位于句首，学生易于因汉语意思而选此答案；答案B(though)，意思是“然而，但是”位于句末，用逗号隔开。所以答案应是B.
B
根据句中关键词than判断出应选earlier.
A.
这里起转折作用,while表示”但是”,可接句子.”前两个免费,但第三个要收费30元”
A
more /another表“又、再”的用法辨析。注意词序：基数词+more+名词 /another+基数词+名词。故选择A项。
C
exactly：准确地；fortunately：幸运地；surprisingly：惊讶地，出乎意料地；hardly：几乎不。题干意思是：似乎保护环境是出乎意料的简单可行，小小的行动能带来很大的不同。选C。
A
考查修饰不可数名词的比较级的掌握情况，用不定代词选项进行干扰。注意本段有形容词比较级than 的明显特征，答案为A。易误选B，认为a pound是可数名词。此处less than是固定搭配，表示“少于，小于”。
C
句意为：我绝不会成为一名教师。因为我不是一个很有耐心的人。seldom表示“很少”；ever表示“永远”用在肯定句中；never表示“绝不，从来没有”；always 表示“总是”。
A.
water 和electricity都是不可数名词,其比较级为less；修饰克数名词的比较级用fewer;”旧的,以前的”应用older,指人用elder.意为“年长的”。
C
这几个副词按语气的轻重可大致描述为：(not) → fairly → quite → rather / pretty → very。在这些词中，只有 rather 可以与比较级以及副词 too (太)连用。而rarely则表示“很少,难得”。故选C.
C
本句为复合句，it是形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式短语to spend … 。rather than是固定短语，意为“与其说……，不如说……”。其句意为：与其把钱花在让人康复上，倒不如将钱花在通过提升健康的生活来预防疾病。
D
在护士们的精心照料下，这个男孩正在逐渐地从心脏手术中恢复健康。gradually符合语境。
A
考查形容词比较级和最高级的运用，没有运用常见的比较结构 "than”,而是让学生从语意中体会，增加了考查难度。句中for为介词，后面为名词和动名词。The worse (weather) 中的weather 省略。
B
根据句意知“在我看来，伦敦的…从价格上看不如东京的贵，但是，从通上看，东京比伦敦更…”，本句后面实际上是省略了than Tokyo,所以二者进行比较，只能选择答案B。在表示否定的同级比较时，常用本句前面出现“not so/as …as”结构，意为“前者不如后者”。
D
根据题意，在那些时候，我们主要的任务是给那些被暴风雪阻挡的人们提供食物和医疗救助,primary符合题意，normal表示正常的， constant表示恒定的 permanent表示永久的。
