第二节 比较级

英语中形容词在开展较为时要变成比较级,关键有二种方式:
在词尾加-er (单音节形容词),如:fast-faster, large-larger, busy-busier, big-bigger等;
或在词前加more (多音节形容词),如:more useful, more complex等
极少数词比较级方式独特,如:good(well)-better, bad(ill)-worse, many(much)-more, little-less, far-farther(更长远的)/further(更进一步的),
考试点一 含有标志词than
1.*普遍的比较级句型是由连词than正确引导较为的*,
如:It takes less time to go there by air than by train.
She possesses more books than I do.
He is more intelligent than I expected.
than可视作比较级的标志词,在填空中,
空后含有than的, 一般空格处必须填比较级,
空格前含有比较级的,一般空格处必须填than正确引导的从句。
练习题:
(1)
Maine has ---- weather than most of the other states in the continental United States.
(A) coolest
(B) the coolest
(C) cooler
(D) the cooler
回答:A
表述:标志词than代表着运用比较级,A, B应先清除;D多the; 仅有A恰当
(2)
Pennsylvania has the most institutions of higher learning than any other state has.
应改成:more
表述:标志词than说明此句运用比较级,而不是*别
2.为防止反复,than以后的从句中一些成份能够省略,只把对比的一部分突显出去:
状况1: 用指示代词that, those来替代省略的一部分,
如:The population of China is much larger than that of Great Britain.
(that 指代the population)
His designs won more acclaim than those of his fellow colleagues.
(those 指代 designs)
状况2: 在省略的全过程中,若than以后从句的谓语一部分同样, 较为的是主语一部分, 那麼谓语一部分一般用助动词do来替代, 而且习惯性上把从句主语和助动词部分倒装 (do 主语)
如:The actors usually capture greater attention than do the playwrights who may
probably contribute more to the success of a play.
练习题:
Mammals have a larger, more well-developed brain ---- other animals.
(A) than do
(B) that are having
(C) which have
(D) that do
回答:A
表述:空格前出現了形容词比较级,空格后是较为*,应由than联接,选择项中仅有A满足条件,在其中由助动词do造成了一个小部分倒装
