语法对点讲练十一 形容词、副词
一、形容词与副词的比较等级
知识点讲解
1.原级
①as+原级+as+比较对象,表示对比双方在性质、程度、特征方面相等或相似。
特别提示
②“as ... as”结构有时不用来表示两者的比较,而是用来描述同一个人或物的特性。
We will help you as well as we can.
Take as many apples as you like.
I'm happy as long as you are happy.
③not+as/so+原级+as+比较对象,表示“……不如……”。
2.比较级
④比较级+than+比较对象,表示“比……更”。no与比较级连用表示“一样不……”。
⑤比较级+比较级,表示“越来越……”。
⑥the+比较级...,the+比较级...,表示“越……,越……”。
⑦the+比较级+of the two+名词,表示“两者中较……的一个”。
特别提示 more than以下用法不是比较级:
⑧more than=over,意为“超出”。
We have more than 2,000 books now.
⑨more than=very,意为“很;非常”。
I was more than a little angry.
⑩more than意为“不仅”。
His report is more than a survey.
more ... than ...意为“与其……不如……”。
You are more lucky than bright.
某些以ior结尾的形容词,如superior, senior等,后边与to搭配,表示比较。
3.倍数表达法
倍数+as+原级+as+比较对象,表示“……是……的几倍”。
倍数+比较级+than+比较对象,表示“……比……大/高/多几倍”。
倍数+the size/height/length/width+of+比较对象。
4.最高级
the+最高级+比较范围,表示“……是……中最……的”。
be one of/among the+最高级+复数名词+比较范围,表示“……是……中最……之一”。
Beijing is one of the largest cities in China.
特殊疑问词+...+the+最高级,A, B or C?用于三者或以上的比较。
Which country is the largest, China, Brazil or Canada?
5.比较级表达最高级意义
“否定词+比较级”或“否定词+so ... as”结构表示最高级意义。
Nothing is easier than this.=Nothing is so easy as this.=Nothing is the easiest thing except this.
“比较级+than+any other+单数名词/anyone else/anything else”表达最高级意义。
Bamboo has many more uses than any other plant in the world.
“never ... such+名词”表达最高级意义。
I have never seen such a beautiful scene.
“否定词+不定冠词+比较级+名词”表示最高级意义。
I have never seen a better picture.

A. as few as
B. as little as
C. as many as
D. as much as
答案 __A__ 知识点 __①__
解析 句意:有少量的人被卷入了,可能有20个。由a small number of people可知用as few as。
2.(2017·湖南六校联考)Nothing is ________ to defeat you when you often assess yourself negatively.
A. easy
B. more easily
C. much easier
D. the easiest
答案 __C__ 知识点 ____
解析 句意:没有什么东西比对自己消极地评价更容易打败自己。这是一个形容词比较级的句式,much可修饰比较级, C项正确。B项是副词的比较级形式。
3.(2017·北京东城区练习二)The previous owner wanted as much as $60,000 for the car, but it was ________ I could go.
A. so high as
B. the highest
C. as high as
D. higher than

A. three times the sizes as

A. twice as
B. as twice
C. twice much
D. much twice
答案 __A__ 知识点 ____
解析 这道题的关键信息词是题干中的“large as”和选项中的“twice as”,通过关键信息词不能看出,这道题的考查点是形容词倍数表达法,即“倍数+as+原级+as”,其中第一个as是副词,应放在形容词large的前面,而表示倍数的twice要放在第一个as的前面,构成“twice as large as what it was”,第二个as是连词,后接从句what it was。
6.(2017·辽宁卷)This is by far ________ movie that I have ever seen.
A. an inspiring
B. a much inspiring
C. the most inspiring
D. the more inspiring
答案 __C__ 知识点 ____

A. as a fierce animal as
B. so fierce an animal that
C. so fierce an animal as
D. as a fierce animal that
答案 __C__ 知识点 __③__
解析 在同级比较句式中,否定式用not so或as+形容词原级+as构成。形容词后面跟单数名词时,将形容词提前,放在so或as后面,a或an的位置不变。
8.At first I thought I understood what my teacher said, but the more he explained, ________.
A. the more I became confused
B. I became confused more
C. the more confused I became
D. the more confused did I become

A. other than
B. more than
C. rather than
D. less than
答案 __B__ 知识点 __⑩__

10.Although he was disabled, he tried to lead ________ as possible.
A. as normal a life
B. so normal a life
C. as a normal life
D. so a normal life
答案 __A__ 知识点 __②__

— I've never seen a man with ________ sense of touch.
A. the better
B. the best
C. a good
D. a better
答案 __D__ 知识点 ____

A. the stronger
B. the strongest
C. strong
D. stronger
答案 __A__ 知识点 __⑦__
解析 当特指两者中“较/更……的”时,比较级前通常要用定冠词,此时可视为比较级后省略了有关的名词或代词one。
13.After they compared the two, they find this design was ________ that one.
A. more superior to
B. far superior than
C. more superior than
D. far superior to
答案 __D__ 知识点 ____
解析 superior“更好的;更强的;更有效的”,表示“比……更……”,与to连用,没有比较级形式,为加强程度用far修饰。
