一、考查比较等级的基本用法 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】答案选C.根据句中的of the two sisters可知,此题涉及的是两者比较,故用比较级;另外,由于是特指两者中的一个,故其前用定冠词,不用不定冠词。 2. Of the two coats, Id 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】答案选B.因是两者比较,故用比较级,可将答案锁定在B和C之间;再根据句意,排除C. 3. Speaking of all the songs he has written, I think this is probably his _________ one. (全国卷II) A. better-known B.C. best-known D. most-known well-known 【解析】答案选C.因为是从他所写的所有歌中选出一首来比较,故用最高级。 二、在语境中考查比较等级的用法 1. I dont 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】答案选B.既然前文说这不是最最烦人的电影,那么下文说的肯定就还有更糟的,故用worse.有意思的是,2006年的这道江西卷的考题与下面这道2004年的湖南卷极为相似:That doesnt sound very frightening. Paul, Ive seen _________. What did you like most about the film? (湖南卷) |
