一、考查比較等級(jí)的基本用法 1. Of the two sisters, Betty is _________ one, and she is also the one who loves to be quiet. (安徽卷)
A. a younger B. a youngest C. the younger D. the youngest
【解析】答案選C.根據(jù)句中的of the two sisters可知,此題涉及的是兩者比較,故用比較級(jí);另外,由于是特指兩者中的一個(gè),故其前用定冠詞,不用不定冠詞。
2. Of the two coats, I'd choose the _________ one to spare some money for a book. (四川卷)
A. cheapest B. cheaper C. more expensive D. most expensive
【解析】答案選B.因是兩者比較,故用比較級(jí),可將答案鎖定在B和C之間;再根據(jù)句意,排除C.
3. Speaking of all the songs he has written, I think this is probably his _________ one. (全國(guó)卷II)
A. better-known B.C. best-known D. most-known well-known
【解析】答案選C.因?yàn)槭菑乃鶎懙乃懈柚羞x出一首來(lái)比較,故用最高級(jí)。
二、在語(yǔ)境中考查比較等級(jí)的用法
1. I don't think this film is by far the most boring. I have seen _________. (江西卷)
A. better B. worse C. the best D. the worst
【解析】答案選B.既然前文說(shuō)“這不是最最煩人的電影”,那么下文說(shuō)的肯定就“還有更糟的”,故用worse.有意思的是,2006年的這道江西卷的考題與下面這道2004年的湖南卷極為相似:That doesn't sound very frightening. Paul, I've seen _________. What did you like most about the film? (湖南卷)
A. better B. worse C. best D. worst
由前句“這聽(tīng)起來(lái)并不十分令人恐懼”可知,說(shuō)話人曾見(jiàn)過(guò)比這個(gè)更令人恐懼的事,所以用比較級(jí)worse.
2. The new group of students is better-behaved than the other group who stayed here _________. (北京卷)
A. early B. earlier C. earliest D. the earliest
【解析】答案選B.做此題的關(guān)鍵詞是new,即把“新來(lái)的學(xué)生”與“早些時(shí)候呆在這兒的學(xué)生”進(jìn)行比較。全句意為:新來(lái)的這群學(xué)生比早些時(shí)候呆在這兒的那些學(xué)生表現(xiàn)得更好些。
3. There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog. ” But there is _________ wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.” (湖南卷)
A. some B. much C. more D. most
【解析】答案選C.由于是將“Love me, love my dog”與“Love me, love my book”進(jìn)行比較,故用比較級(jí)。此題的巧妙之處在于句中沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)than,而是給出兩個(gè)待比較的proverb. 4. With April 18's railway speedup, highway and air transport will have to compete with _________ service for passengers. (江蘇卷)
A. good B. better C. best D. the best
【解析】答案選B.句子大意為:由于鐵路提速了,所以公路和航空業(yè)要提高服務(wù)質(zhì)量來(lái)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)客源。因?qū)ⅰ肮泛秃娇铡迸c“鐵路”比較,故用比較級(jí)。
