[比较级考题展示]
【考题1】(2023▪浙江1月卷)Their siheyuan were far smaller in scale and (simple) in design
and decoration, and the hutongs were narrower.
答案与解析:simpler。考查形容词比较级。根据句子结构和and可知,空格处需要填形容词比较级和
前面的smaller构成并列结构作表语。故填simpler。句意:他们的四合院规模要小很多,并且在设计和装
饰上更加简单,并且胡同也更窄。
【考题2】(2022全国乙卷)“As a main promoter of the International Tea Day, the birthplace of tea and
the (large) tea-producing country, China has a responsibility to work with other countries to promote the
healthy development of the tea industry.
答案与解析:largest。考查形容词最高级。根据定冠词the和常识可知,中国是最大产茶国,所以用形
容词的最高级形式。故填largest。句意:中国是茶的发源地和最大产茶国,作为国际茶日的主要推动者,
中国有责任与其他国家共同促进茶产业的健康发展。
【考题3】(2022全国甲卷)In the last five years. Cao has walked through 34 countries in six continents,
and in 2016, he reached the top of Kilimanjaro, Africa’s (high) mountain.
答案与解析:highest。考查形容词最高级。根据空前Africa’s可知,此处是指三者或三者以上的比较,
应用形容词最高级。故填highest。句意:在过去的五年中,曹穿越了六大洲的34个国家,2016年,他到
达了乞力马扎罗山顶,这是非洲最高的山峰。
【考题4】(2021浙江6月卷)When the house was built, it was much (small)than it is today.
答案与解析:smaller。考查形容词比较级。所给的small是形容词原级,副词much修饰形容词或副词
比较级,不可以修饰原级,结合设空前的much和设空后的than可知,此处用形容词比较级形式,故填
smaller。
句意:这栋房子建成时比现在小得多。
【考点归纳】
一、比较等级概说
1、基本概念:
形容词与副词有原级(positive degree)、比较等级(comparative degree)和最高级(superlative degree)。形容
词、副词的原级指的是它们的本来形式;比较级表示的是“比较”这种概念,通常在词尾加上-er或前面加more构成;最高级表示的是“最”这种概念,通常在词尾加上-est前面加most构成。如:
Jack is tall. Tom is taller than jack. But Rex is the tallest of the three.
杰克个子很高(tall为原级);汤姆比杰克还要高(taller为比较级);但是雷克斯是三个人中最高的
(the tallest为最高级)。
2、比较级和最高级的不规则形式
形容词原级 比较级 最高级
good/well better best
bad/ill/badly worse worst
many/much more most
little less lest
far farther/ further farthest. Furthest
old older/elder oldest/eldest
late later/latter latest/ last
3、有些形容词没有比较级或最高级形式
像表示“完全、特别、极限、主次、几何形状、处所、状态、方位、时间、状态、性质、材料、国
籍、独一无二”等含义的些形容词通常没有比较级,如 perfect完美的、完全的,round圆的,straight直
的,absolute完全的,empty空的,square方的,universal普遍的,complete完全的,empty空的,unique独
一无二的,infinite无限的,matchless无敌的,wooden木制的,daily每日的等没有比较级。但是在现代英
语口语中perfect前也可以加上more,以加强语气。如:
That building is unique because all the others like it were destroyed.
那座建筑很独特,因为所有像它那样的其他建筑都毁坏了。
Let's stop the empty talk and do some useful and practical work.
咱们别空谈了,还是做些有益的实际工作吧。
二、比较级或最高级构成形式
1、as+形容词/副词原级+as…
表示肯定的等量比较,在否定句中可以用not so as+形容词/副词原级+as…。形容词作定语则有“as+形
容词原级+ a(an) +名词单数…as…”形式。如:
典例:This river is as long as that one.这条河与那条河一样长。(long是形容词)You can stay here as long as that others did. 你可以像其他人那样在这里住那么久。(long是副词)
考例1:(2023新课标全国Ⅱ卷.阅读A) Stay for as little or as long as your plans allow. Meet in front of the
Visitor Education Center.
考例2:(上海XXXX)He speaks English well indeed, but of course not _____ a native speaker.
A. as fluent as B. more fluent than C. so fluently as D. much fluently than (选C)
考例3:(XXXX)It’s generally believed that teaching is _________ it is a science.
A. an art much as B. much an art as C. as an art much as D. as much an art as (选D)
注意:
1) as+形容词/副词原级+as…有时并不表示比较级意义,而是成为一个固定的短语连词短语,如: as/so
long as“只要……就……”;as soon as “一……就……”;as far as(I know)“就我所知”;as well
as“跟……一样,也”等。如:
考例1: (北京XXXX) ______ I know the money is safe, I shall not worry about it.
A. Even though B. Unless C. As long as D. While (选C)
点拨:As long as“只要…就…”,引导条件状语从句。
考例2:(安徽XXXX) _____ I can see, there is only one possible way to keep away from he danger.
A. As long as *B. As far as C. Just as D. Even if (选B)
点拨:As far as I can see的意思是“依我看”。
2) 当as……as……与表示重量、数量、时间、距离、价格等计量名词连用时,往往并不表示比较,
而是构成一个形容词词组,意思是“重达…、多达…、高达…等”。如:
She walked in silence as far as the seashore. 她静静地一直走到河边。(far为副词,as far as不是一个整
体,意思是“直到那么远”)
2、形容词/副词比较级+than。
考例:(陕西XXXX)Though he started late. Mr. Guo played the piano as well as, if , Miss liu
A. not better than B. not better C. no better than D. better (选A)
点拨:选A。B、D缺少连接比较对象的than,而C项的no more than的意思是“和…..一样不”,否定的
是两者。一个句子中含有两个比较结构,在一个比较结构没有完成之前,不要插入另外一个结构。
考例: (江西XXXX) The melon the Smiths served at dinner would have tasted if it had been put in the fridge
for a little while.
A. good B. better C. best D. well (选B)
点拨:选B。根据题干的taste是连系动词知道应该用形容词作表语,排除副词的选项D,由“放在冰箱”和“不在冰箱”两者之间进行比较可以的出是比较级,所以B正确。
注意:junior“年少的、下级的”, senior“年长的、高级的”, minor“较小的、次要的”, superior“较高的、上
级的”, previous“在前的、早先的”等词因为其本身就表示比较意义,因此后面跟比较对象用to,而不用
than。如:
She is senior to everyone else in the company.她在公司里的地位比其他人都高。
This western restaurant is superior to the one we went to last week.
这家西餐馆比我们上星期去的那一家好。
三、形容词或副词的最高级
通常最高级前有定冠词the,但是如果most表示“很(very)”用不定冠词,而且要是不必强调比较
对象还可以省掉冠词。最高级常与表示范围的短语像 “in+集体名词;of+个体名词的复数”连用。如:
1) We are busiest on Mondays. 我们星期一最忙。
2) This is a most interesting story.这是个非常有趣的故事。(most=very)
3) Hainan is China’s second largest island. 海南岛是中国第二大岛。
考例: (上海XXXX). Alan is a careful driver, but he drives _____ of my friends.
A. more carefully B. the most carefully
C. less carefully D. the least carefully (选D)
点拨:选D。根据题干的of my friends知道比较范围是在我的朋友之间,没有明确的两者之间,由此可以
推断是三者或者三者以上,所以是最高级,排除A、C。根据转折词but知道是与前者意思相反或相对的
内容,前者指细心,所以应该选D,意思是“最不细心的一位”。故选D。
四、比较级的修饰词
可以有一个表示程度的状语来修饰比较级,如even/ still/ much/ far/ a great deal/ by far/ a lot/any/ rather
等表示“很、更、非常、十分”; slightly/ a little/ a bit “有点儿”;no/ three times等等。而too/ quite/ very/
so/fairly等后用原级,也就是说不可以修饰比较级。如:
考例:(上海XXXX) You’re standing too near the camera. Can you move _________?
A. a bit far B. a little farther C. a bit of little farther D. a little far (选B)
五、比较等级的特殊形式
1、more and more
表示“越来越(怎么样)”,在这个结构中的两个 "比较级"要求词性相同。例如:My hometown is becoming more and more beautiful.我的家乡变得越来越漂亮。
When winter is coming , it gets colder and colder .冬天来临之际,天越来越冷了。
2、“the +比较级……,the +比较级……意为“越……,越……”
意思是“越(怎么样)就越(怎么样)”,两个“比较级”不要求一定词性相同,它们各自的词性要
依句子的需要而定。前面部分是从句,表示条件,后面部分是主句,表示结果。
考例:(上海XXXX) As far as I am concerned, education is about learning and the more you learn, ____.
A. the more for life are you equipped B. the more equipped for life you are
C. the more life you are equipped for D. you are equipped the more for life (选B)
3、含有比较级的固定短语
sooner or later意思是“迟早”, worse still(what’s worse, to make things/ matters worse)“更糟的是”,
what’s more“而且”, more or less“或多或少”, less than“少于”, no more/not any more“不再(强调数量)”,
no longer/not any longer“不再(强调时间)”,
考例:(浙江2005) Maggie has been fortunate to find a job she loves and, _____, she gets well paid for it.
A. sooner or later B. what’s more C. as a result D. more or less (选B)
【难点点拨】
一、the+形容词/副词比较级+of+比较对象
对两者进行比较时,可以用“the+形成/副词比较级+of+比较对象”,相当于“比较级+than”结构,但
是要注意这种比较级前要用定冠词the,含有选择的意思。如:
考例:(四川XXXX). Of the two coats, I'd choose the ________ one to spare some money for a book.
A. cheapest B. cheaper C. more expensive D. most expensive (选B)
二、can’t/couldn’t+比较级
这种结构的意思是“再…不过,不可能更…”。是比较级形式表达最高级意义。如:
考例:(江西XXXX) --- Shall I give you a ride as you live so far away?
--- Thank you. ______.
A. It couldn’t be better B. Of course you can C. If you like D. It’s up to you (选A)
