“形容词、副词的比较级、最高级”:考点讲解和训练
形容词、副词的比较级、最高级: 考点讲解与训练 一、两者相比,甲=乙,用“as +形容词或副词原级+ as” 。如: He is as tall as me. He got up as early as I did. 二、两者相比,甲<乙,用“not as/so+形容词或副词原级+as” 。如: He cannot run so/as fast as you. Corn doesn’t need as/so much water as rice. 1、as„as 结构的基本用法 其基本意思为“与„„一样” ,其中的第一个 as 副词,其后通常接形容词 或副词(用原级),第二个 as 可用作介词(后接名词或代词)或连词(后接从 句)。使用时应注意以下几点: (1)在否定句中,第一个 as 也可换成 so: He doesn’t study as [so] hard as his brother. (2)两个 as 之间通常接形容词或副词的原级,但若涉及数量或程度,可 用“as much+不可数名词+as”和“as many+可数名词复数+as” : You’ve made as many mistakes as I have. I haven’t got as much money as I thought. (3)中间接形容词时,有时该形容词还可修饰另一名词,但这个名词应 带有不定冠词(注意词序):当 as…as 中间有名词时,名词要放在形容词之 后。如: This is asgood an example as the other is. I can carry asmuch paper as you can.。 She is as good a cook as her mother. (=She is a cook as good as her mother) 2、关于第二个 as 的词性 (1)第二个 as 后接从句时,该 as 通常为连词,但有时这个 as 还充当其 后从句的主语或宾语,此时该 as 实为关系代词。如: I gave him as much as he could eat. We’ve got food for as many people as want it. (2)若第二个 as 用作连词引导一个表示将来意义的从句,则该从句可用 现在时表示将来,也可直接使用将来时态。如: We’ll get there as soon as you do [will]. 3、as„as„结构的修饰语 该结构根据情况可用使用以下修饰语: (not) nearly, almost, just, nothing like, exactly, not quite, half, one-ten, twice, three times, 30 per cent 等, 并且这些修 饰语必须置于第一个 as 之前,而不能置于其后。如: He doesn’t play half as well as his sister. This dress is twice as expensive as that. 4、as„as„结构的省略 (1)在非正式场合(尤其是美国英语中),有时可以省略第一个 as。如: When over forty, he married a woman poor as himself. (2)若意思明确,有时可省略第二个 as 及其后的相关词语。如: The pianos in that shop will be cheaper, but not as good. 三、两者相比,甲>乙,用“比较级形容词或副词+ than”。如: You are taller than me. He reads more careful than me. (more…than…的用法) 1、表示“比……更多” :此时 more 为 many 或 much 的比较级,表示数 量,后接名词。如: I made more mistakes than you. Last year there were more births than deaths. He’s got more money than the rest of us together. 注:若 more 受 much 或 many 修饰,则分别与不可数和可数名词连用。 如: His car cost much more money than mine. There are many more people than we expected. 2、表示“比…更” :此时 more 后接多音节形容词或副词,构成比较级, 表示对两者进行比较。如: He is more careful than the others. Travelling by train is more relaxing than driving. This company is more concerned with quality than with quantity. 3、表示“与其说……不如说” :此时不是对两个对象进行比较,而是对同 一个人或物在两个不同方面进行比较或取舍,此时不论形容词或副词是单 音节、双音节还是多音节,一律用 more…than…。如: He is more lucky than clever. He was more frightened than hurt. It is more grey than brown. He is more (a) scholar than (a) teacher. 四、多者比较,用“the+最高级+比较范围”。如: Tom is the tallestin his class. Kate wrote (the) most carefully of all. 五、比较等级的特殊句型 1、less/least +原级:表示降级的比较级或最高级。如: I am even less lucky. This is the least useful of the four books. 2、 the+比较级, the+比较级: 表示后者随着前者的变化而变化, 意为“越…… 就越……”;前者相当于一个条件句,因此,要用一般现在时代替一般将 来时。如: The harder you work, the better result you’ll get. 3、the+比较级(+of the two):表示“两者中较……的那个人或物”。如: Tom is the taller of the two brothers. 4、比较级+and+比较级:表示“越来越……”,单音节形容词或副词用 “-er+and +-er”,如: warmer and warmer 越来越暧和; 多音节形容词或副词用―more and more…‖如 more and more beautiful 越来 越美。 5、比较级+than any other+单数名词:表示最高级意义。如: Mike is more intelligent than a
