形容词、副词比较级、最高级的常用句型及用法
1.在表示比较的句型中,要注意than, as前后的比
较对象的一致性。
The director gave me a better offer than .
A. that of Dick’s B. Dick’s
C. that he gave Dick D. those of Dick
解析 A、B、D都是Dick的条件或Dick提供的条件,
只有C“他提供给Dick的条件”才能与前面的“他提供
给我的条件”进行比较。
C
2.“the+比较级”特指两人或两个事物中较为突出的一个。
If the manager had to choose between the two,he would say John was the better choice.
如果经理必须在两个中选一个的话,那么他认为约翰好一些。
3. 除了 “the+最高级”外, 最高级还有其它表达方式。如:否定词never与比较级连用、比较级+than any other+名词单数、比较级+than any of the other+名词复数、比较级+than anyone else等。
How beautifully she sings! I have never heard a better voice.
她唱得太美了!我从来没听过这么好听的嗓音。
4. 含有名词的 as...as 结构需要注意词序的问题:
句型 a as+ adj . +a/an+名词单数+as=a+名词单数+as+ adj .+as
He is as honest a man as you.
(=He is a man as honest as you.)
他和你一样诚实。
句型 b as many+名词复数+as
as much+(a/an)+名词+as
It is generally believed that teaching is as much an art as it is a science.
人们普遍认为教学既是一种艺术也是一门科学。
句型 c 倍数+as+ adj . +名词+as
After the new technique was introduced, the factory produced twice as many tractors in 2007 as the year before.
自从引进新技术之后,这家工厂2007年生产的拖拉机数量是上一年的两倍。
5. as...as,(not)so...as结构中的形容词、副词只能用原级,不能用比较级。
John plays football as well as,if not better than,David.
约翰的足球踢得和戴维一样好。
6. senior(年长的;高级的),junior(年幼的;初级的),superior(优越的),inferior(下等的,低劣的)等词与to连用,表示比较级。
He is three years senior to me.他比我大三岁。
7. 注意下列结构中各个词的排列顺序:
(1)what+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数
(2)what+形容词+不可数名词/名词复数
(3)such+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数
(4)such+形容词+不可数名词/名词复数
(5)no such+名词(名词前不能加冠词)
(6)so many/so much/so few/so little+名词(其中的many,much,few,little等词都表“多少”之意,little还可当“小”解释,这时用such little+名词)。
Oh,John,what a pleasant surprise you gave me!
哦,约翰,你给了我们一个大惊喜!
Can you believe that in such a rich country there should be so many poor people?
你能想像在这样一个富裕的国家里还有那么多的穷人吗?

据我所知,这附近没有这样的一辆车。
It was so bad a day that I didn’t want to do anything.
今天太糟糕了,我什么也不想做。
同级比较的用法易错点
Our neighbor has ours.
A.as a big house as
B.as big a house as
C.the same big house as
D.a house the same big as
本题是对同级比较as...as...结构的考查,是同级比较问题中的一个特殊结构:as+adj.
+a/an+可数名词单数+as。
【解题探究】B。英语中常用的相关结构有:
(1)so+adj .+a/an+可数名词单数。
so good a book如此好的一本书(相当于such a
good book)
(2)too+ adj .+a/an+可数名词单数。
too fine a day特别好的一天
(3)how+adj .+a/an+可数名词单数+it is。
How fine a day it is!多么好的天气!(相当于
What a fine day it is!)
形容词和副词的比较等级易错点
—Did you enjoy yourself at the party?
—Yes,I’ve never been to one before.
A. a more excited
B.the most excited
C.a more exciting
D.the most exciting
考生易误选A项或D项,其实本题是对形容词比较级及动词-ing型、动词-ed 型形容词的考查。动词-ed 型形容词表示被动的含义,多用于说明人的感受,意为“(人)感到……”;动词-ing 型形容词表示主动的含义,多用于说明事物的性质,意为“令人……”。由于题中的one 指代 party ,为表示事物的词语,故选项 A 和 B 首先被排除;分析句意“我还从没有去过比这更让人兴奋的聚会”可知,横线处应为一个比较级结构,故选项 C 为本题的正确答案。
【解题探究】C。在英语中,表达最高级含义时,除
了可以直接使用最高级外,还可以使用“否定词+比
较级”结构。若该比较级后修饰一个可数名词单
数,它前面通常要用不定冠词a或an。
Bob ran the 100 meters in 9.91 seconds,and I
have not seen better this year.
Bob在9.91秒的时间内跑完了100米,今年我没有
见到比这更好的成绩。
more than,not better than等结构的误用
—Do you need any help,Lucy?
—Yes.The job is I could do myself.
A.less than B.more than
C.no more than D.not more than
在英语中,less than意为“少于”,more than 意为“超过”,no more than 意为“仅仅”,not more than 意为“不超过”。由“你需要帮助吗,Lucy?”及“是的。这份工作超出了我的个人能力。”可知,选项B为本题的正确答案。
【解题探究】 B。在英语中,more than,not more
than等是常用、常考的结构,考生应予以重视。
(1)less than...意为“少于……”。
It had cost Tom less than five dollars.
汤姆花了不到五美元买了这件东西。
(2)not less than...意为“不少于……,至 少……”,表示客观陈述。
He is not less than 80 years old.他至少80岁。
(3)no less than...意为“多达……,竟有……之多”,表示数量很多。
No less than a thousand people came.
来的人竟有一千人之多。
(4)no less...than...意为“正像……那样……,同……一样……”,含有强调的意味。
English is no less important than maths.英语同数学一样重要。
(5)not less...than...意为“不亚于……”,表示客
观陈述。
English is not less important than maths.
英语的重要性不亚于数学。
(6)more than...意为“超过,不仅仅,非常”等。There are more than fifty students in the class.这个班有50多个学生。(more than这时多与数词连用)
Peace is much more than the absence of war.和平不仅仅是意味着没有战争。(more than这时多与名词连用)
She is more than selfish.她非常自私。(more than这时多与形容词连用)
(7)more A than B意为“与其说是B,不如说是A”,其中的A和B为相同的结构。
It is more a poem than a picture.
与其说这是一幅画,不如说是一首诗。
(8)not more than...意为“不超过……,不多于……”,表示客观陈述。
I have not more than ten books in my bag.
我的书包里的书不多于10本。
(9)no more than...意为“仅仅……,正好……”,强调数量少。
I have no more than ten books in my bag.
我的书包里的书仅仅有10本。
(10)not more...than...意为“不比……更……”,表示客观描述。
Tom isn’t more clever than Jim.汤姆不比吉姆更聪明。
(11)no more...than...意为“和……一样都不……”,含有强调的意味。
Tom is no more clever than Jim.汤姆和吉姆一样都不聪明。(=Tom is not clever any more than Jim.)
(12)“more than+主语+can/could+do+...”结构意为“(主语)不能够……”。本例题便是对该种结构的考查。
The beauty of Hangzhou is more than words can describe.
杭州的美景是语言所不能描述的。
形容词和副词的一些固定用法的误用
—Must I turn off the gas after cooking?
—Of course.You can never be careful with
that.
A.Enough B.too
C.so D.very
本题是对英语中固定句型“cannot/can never be too...”的考查,意为“越……越好”或“再……也不过分”。
【解题探究】 B。too...to...结构是中学阶段一个很常用的结构,意为“太……而不能……”,是一个否定的结构。但在下面的情况下却表示肯定的含义:(1)当在该结构中的too或to前加上否定词not或never等时,该结构即为表示肯定含义的结构。cannot/can never...too...to...为常见的用法,它可以与cannot/can never...enough to...结构进行转化。When crossing the street, you can never be too careful enough.你过马路时,越小心越好。
(2)当too...to...结构中的副词too后接apt, ready, anxious, eager, glad, willing等形容词时,该结构表达的即为肯定的含义。
She is too willing to marry him.她很愿意嫁给他。(3)当too...to...结构中的副词too前面有all, but, only, quite等修饰时,该结
