(√)It is likely to rain today.(it 指天氣) (√)It is not convenient to work at weekends. (?)Please come here if you are convenient. (√)You can go there if it is necessary. (?)You can go there if you are necessary. 四、幾組易混形容詞、副詞的比較 1.too much,much too too much=much許多;much too=too太 The teacher gave us too much homework today. 今天老師給我們留的作業(yè)太多了。 I am much too pleased to see you. 見到您,我太高興了。 2.nearly,almost,hardly (1)almost 可以與any,no,nobody,never,nothing搭配,但nearly 卻不能跟這些詞搭配。在表達中也經(jīng)常用hardly any,hardly anybody 來代替almost no,almost no-body。如: Almost no one came to the party. =Hardly anybody came to the party.

　　幾乎沒人來參加這個聚會。 You can find the meaning of almost any word here.

　　在這里你可以找到幾乎任何一個詞的意義。

　　(2)否定詞not 可放在nearly 之前,構(gòu)成not nearly結(jié)構(gòu),意為“一點兒也不,相差甚遠”,但沒有not almost結(jié)構(gòu)。如: She is not nearly as pretty as her sister.

　　她一點兒也沒有她妹妹漂亮。 (3)almost 和nearly 都可用于表示極端之意的形容詞前,但卻不能用于修飾不具有極端之意的形容詞。如: That is a(n) almost/nearly perfect plan.

　　那幾乎是一個完美之計。 3.fairly,quite,rather,very,pretty (1)這幾個詞均為副詞,可以修飾形容詞或另外一個副詞,但表達的程度不同,這些詞語氣的輕重如下: fairly→quite→rather/pretty→very (2)fairly語氣最輕,盡管經(jīng)常與褒義詞連用,但由于語氣較弱,往往不帶明顯的恭維或贊賞,通常譯為“還算”、“相當”。比如要說某部電影 fairly good,指的可能是還勉強過得去,只是沒有否定。 (3)quite語氣稍重,意為“頗”或“相當”。要是說某一部電影quite good,那是說這部電影相當不錯,雖不是最好,但至少值得看。 (4)rather或pretty在語氣上又稍重一點,意為“十分”或“相當”(pretty不如rather 正式)。要是說某一部電影rather/pretty good,指的是這部電影相當不錯,語氣比較重,意指要高出一般水平或出乎意料的好。兩者均可與褒義或貶義形容詞連用。與褒義詞連用,表示一種愉快的心情,與貶義(包括不褒不貶)詞連用,表示一種不贊成或不滿意的心情。如: a rather/pretty good play 一部相當好的戲 rather/pretty poor work 相當差的工作 (5)very語氣最強,意為“很”或“非常”。要是說某一部電影very good,那是說這部電影很不錯,算得上是精品之作。 (6)這幾個詞中,只有rather可以與比較級以及副詞too(太)連用。如: It's rather warmer today.今天暖和多了。 This one is rather too large.這個太大了。 注:quite 有時也與比較級連用,但通常只用于 quite better(身體好)這一表達中。 (7)rather和quite有時可直接修飾動詞,而其他幾個副詞一般不這樣用。如: I quite agree with you.我完全同意你(的意見)。 We rather like the book.我們很喜歡這本書。 (8)quite與“冠詞+形容詞+名詞”連用時,置于冠詞之前。但遇到類似情況,rather可置于冠詞之前,也可置于冠詞之后;very或fairly 則只能放在冠詞之后(形容詞之前)。如: It's quite/rather a good idea./It's a rather good idea. 那可真是個好主意。 注:若此結(jié)構(gòu)中沒有形容詞,rather只能放在冠詞之前。如: It was rather a success.那件事相當成功。 (9)修飾不可分級的形容詞(如:right,wrong,ready,full,empty,perfect,impossible,alone,unique 等)通常只用 quite,此時quite 并不表示“相當”或“很”,而表示“完全”。如: You're quite right/wrong.你完全正確/錯了。 That's quite impossible.那完全不可能。 4.possible,probable,likely (1)意義上的區(qū)別: possible指客觀上的可能性,但往往含有希望很小的意味; probable比possible可能性大,表“很可能、大概”,指有實際依據(jù)或邏輯上的合情合理; likely是從外表跡象進行判斷,有可能發(fā)生某事。如: It is possible,though not probable,that he will come tomorrow. 他明天可能來,但也不一定準會來。 The probable cause of his failure was that he had been too tired. 他失敗大概是因為他太累了。 He is very likely to ring me tonight. 今晚他很可能給我打電話。 (2)句型上的不同: ①It is possible/probable/likely+that從句 ②It is possible(for sb.)to do sth. ③Sb./Sth.is likely to do sth. 5.具有兩種形式的副詞 英語中有的副詞兼有兩種形式:一種是與形容詞同形;另一種是在該形容詞后面加副詞詞綴-ly構(gòu)成。這兩種形式的副詞在詞義和用法上有一定的差異,有的甚至完全不同。 常見的這類副詞有:firm堅信、堅持,firmly堅固地;direct徑直地,directly恰好、直接、坦率地;free自由地、免費地,freely自由自在地、隨便地;flat平直地,flat-ly斬釘截鐵地;short突然(=suddenly),shortly不久;even甚至,evenly平均地;clean完全地、徹底地,cleanly清潔地、干凈利落地;clear隔開地、不接觸地,clearly清晰地、明顯地;close近地,closely緊密地、仔細地;dead極其地、完全地,dead-ly死一般地、非常;fair公平地、公正地,fairly相當?shù)?hard努力地,hardly幾乎沒有、幾乎不;most最,mostly大部分地、主要地;right直接地、徑直地、立即,rightly合理地、正確地;high高高地,highly很、非常;just正好,justly公正地;late遲、晚,lately最近;near近,nearly幾乎;pretty相當?shù)?prettily優(yōu)美地;sharp突然地、急劇地,sharply嚴厲地。如: I clean forgot to ask her.我完全忘記去問她了。 Jack caught the ball cleanly.杰克干凈利落地接住了球。 He lives close to the village.他住得離那個村莊很近。 We must look closely at the problems. 我們必須仔細地審視這些問題。 After a day's hard work,he was dead tired. 辛勤工作一天后,他筋疲力盡。 The book is deadly dull.這本書非常枯燥。 The birds are flying high.鳥兒正在高飛。 He is a highly skilled worker.他是一個非常熟練的工人。 He has been working late.他一直工作到很晚。 I haven't seen him lately.我最近沒見他。 The film director is pretty known.這個電影導演非常出名。 We are prettily dressed.我們穿得很漂亮。 The road turns sharp to the right.這條路突然向右轉(zhuǎn)。 “Is there a problem?”he asked sharply. “有問題嗎?”他厲聲喝問。 五、易混句型的區(qū)別 1.so...that與such...that so...that和such...that都作“如此……以至于……”講,that引導的是結(jié)果狀語從句。常見句型如下: so+形容詞/副詞+that such+?+that such...that和so...that有時可以換用,條件是such所修飾的名詞必須是一個單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞,且該名詞前還帶有表性質(zhì)的形容詞。轉(zhuǎn)變公式如下: such+a/an+形容詞+名詞=so+形容詞+a/an+名詞。如: He is such a good student that we all like him. He is so good a student that we all like him. 他是一個如此好的學生,以至于我們都喜歡他。 但是如果是不可數(shù)名詞或復數(shù)可數(shù)名詞,則只能用such而不能用so修飾。如: It was such bad weather that he had to stay at home. 天氣如此不好以至于他不得不待在家里。 如果復數(shù)名詞前有many,few,不可數(shù)名詞前有much,little等表示數(shù)量的形容詞時,應(yīng)該用so而不用such。如: I've had so many falls that I'm black and blue all over. 我摔了很多次,以至于全身青一塊紫一塊的。 Mr.White got so little money a month that he could hardly keep body and soul to-gether. 懷特先生一個月賺如此少的錢以至于幾乎不能維持生活。 當little不表示數(shù)量少而表示“小”的意思時,用such。如: They are such little children that they cannot clean the house by themselves. 他們是如此小的孩子,以至于他們不能自己打掃屋子。 2.其他常用句型: (1)? 與其說A不如說B He is more lazy than slow at his work. 與其說他工作慢不如說他懶。 (2)no more...than...與……一樣不……,不比……多…… The officials could see no more than the Emperor. 官員們并不比皇帝看到的多。 no less...than...與……一樣…… He is no less diligent than you. 他與你一樣勤奮。 (3)more than不止是,非常 She is more than kind to us all. 她對我們都非常好。 (4)rather than而不是 He wants to go swimming with me rather than you. 他想和我而不是和你一起去游泳。 (5)other than除……外 You can't reach the village other than by boat. 除了坐船外,你不能到達這個村莊。 高頻考點一　形容詞和副詞基本意思的考查 在傳統(tǒng)的單項填空題型中,對形容詞和副詞基本意思的考查,主要是命題者設(shè)計一個科學的切合實際生活的題干,要求考生對所給四個選項中的形容詞或副詞意思掌握準確,做出正確的選擇。在新的語法填空題型中,要求考生根據(jù)語境并結(jié)合句子結(jié)構(gòu)去判斷設(shè)空處到底需要形容詞形式還是副詞形式。修飾名詞時就要用形容詞形式,注意兩個并列形容詞表示主語狀態(tài)的現(xiàn)象。如果修飾句子的謂語動詞就要用副詞形式。 考點清單 典例1????(2024福建,23)It was ????(consider)of Michael to inform us of his de-lay in case we got worried. ?答案　considerate ?解析　句意:邁克爾考慮得非常周到,他告訴我們他將耽擱一些時間,以防我 們擔心。considerate考慮周到的。 典例2????(2024湖北,29)The girl used to be shy,but is ????(gradual)getting ac-tive in group work and is more willing to express herself. ?答案　gradually ?解析　句意:這個女孩過去很靦腆,但是她逐漸變得積極參加集體活動了,也 更愿意表達自己了。設(shè)空處需用副詞作狀語。gradually慢慢地,逐漸地。 ? ? 高頻考點二　形容詞和副詞的比較等級 1.平級比較 as+形容詞/副詞原級+as...像……一樣…… as+adj.+a/an+名詞+as...像……一樣的…… as much+a/an+名詞+as...和……一樣是…… not as/so+形容詞/副詞原級+as...不如……那樣…… 2.比較級 ? 3.最高級 最高級的常見修飾語有:序數(shù)詞,by far,nearly,almost等。 典例3????(2024四川,7)Andy is content with the toy.It is the????(good)he has ever got. ?答案　best ?解析　句意:Andy對這個玩具很滿意。這是他得到過的最好的。“It is+the+ 形容詞最高級+sb.has/have done”為固定句型。 ? 高頻考點三　倍數(shù)表示法 ? 典例4????(2024安徽,33)It's said that the power plant is now twice????large as what it was. ?答案　as ?解析　句意:據(jù)說這個發(fā)電廠現(xiàn)在是過去的兩倍大。倍數(shù)表達法有三種:① 倍數(shù)+as+形容詞/副詞的原級+as;②倍數(shù)+形容詞/副詞的比較級+than;③倍數(shù)+the+性質(zhì)名詞+of。 ? 高頻考點四　常用連接性副詞

　　The building is as tall as 100 meters. =The building is 100 meters tall. 這幢樓有100米高。 3.貌似平級比較結(jié)構(gòu)的一些習慣用語 英語中有些看似是平級的比較結(jié)構(gòu),實際上它們是一些固定的習慣用語,它們是:as long as只要;as far as遠至某地點,就……而言;as soon as 一……就;as well as既……又;as good as(=very nearly)與……幾乎一樣,幾乎,簡直是。如: I will work as long as I live. 只要活著,我就要工作。 As far as I know,he is a reliable person. 據(jù)我所知,他是一個可靠的人。 The average cost of one day in a hospital in that country can run as high as $ 400. 在那個國家里平均一天的住院費用可高達400美元。 He has experience as well as knowledge. 他既有知識又有經(jīng)驗。(注意此句翻譯的順序) He as good as called me a coward. 他無異于說我是個懦夫。 She is as good as her word.她這個人很講信用。 He saw her off as far as the bridge near the village. 他把她送到了村邊的小橋那里。 二、比較級 1.比較級的修飾語常見的有:rather,much,still,even,far,a lot,a little,a great deal,by far,a bit,three times等。如: The students study even harder than before. 學生們學習比以前更努力了。 2.“the+比較級...,the+比較級...”表示“越……,越……”。如: The more tickets you sell, the more money you will get. 你賣的票越多,掙的錢越多。 The more you talked,the less attention he paid to you. 你說得越多,他越不注意聽你講。 The longer you stay,the better(it will be). 你待的時間越長越好。 3.“比較級+and+比較級”表示“越來越……”。如: The new city is becoming more and more beautiful. 這座新城市變得越來越美麗了。 4.“the+比較級+of the two+名詞”表示“兩個……中較……的”。如: The taller of the two boys is my brother. 那兩個男孩中較高的那個是我的哥哥。 5.用介詞by表示相差的程度。如: She is taller than I by three inches. =She is three inches taller than I. 她比我高3英寸。 6.某人的兩種性質(zhì)的比較,用more...than...結(jié)構(gòu),意為“與其……不如……”。如: —Ann acts quite unfriendly. —I think she's more shy than unfriendly.(more shy不可變?yōu)閟hyer) ——安表現(xiàn)得很不友好。 ——我認為與其說她不友好,不如說她害羞。 7.比較的對象不能相互包含,常見的句型是: 比較級+than+?

　　如: The Mississippi River is longer than any other river in the United States. 密西西比河比美國其他任何一條河都長。 China is larger than? 8.比較的對象應(yīng)該相同。如: The climate here is warmer than that of Shanghai. 這里的氣候比上海的暖和。 The radios made in our factory are better than those(made)in your factory. 我們廠生產(chǎn)的收音機比你們廠生產(chǎn)的好。 9.注意比較結(jié)構(gòu)中的省略現(xiàn)象 在日常交際中,彼此都明白的比較對象往往省略。如: —What do you think of the film? —I have never seen a better one.(后邊省略了than this film) Tom's composition,if not better(后邊省略了than Jack's),is at least as good as Jack's. 這種省略現(xiàn)象給考生正確判斷造成一定的障礙,在高考中出現(xiàn)頻率較高,應(yīng)引起足夠的重視。 10.貌似比較級的一些習慣用語 In no country other than Britain can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day. 只有在英國,人們才能在一天中體驗四個季節(jié)。(no...other than只有,正是。它常用來加強語氣,多用于書面語)

(√)It is likely to rain today.(it 指天氣) (√)It is not convenient to work at weekends. (?)Please come here if you are convenient. (√)You can go there if it is necessary. (?)You can go there if you are necessary. 四、幾組易混形容詞、副詞的比較 1.too much,much too too much=much許多;much too=too太 The teacher gave us too much homework today. 今天老師給我們留的作業(yè)太多了。 I am much too pleased to see you. 見到您,我太高興了。 2.nearly,almost,hardly (1)almost 可以與any,no,nobody,never,nothing搭配,但nearly 卻不能跟這些詞搭配。在表達中也經(jīng)常用hardly any,hardly anybody 來代替almost no,almost no-body。如: Almost no one came to the party. =Hardly anybody came to the party.

　　幾乎沒人來參加這個聚會。 You can find the meaning of almost any word here.

　　在這里你可以找到幾乎任何一個詞的意義。

　　(2)否定詞not 可放在nearly 之前,構(gòu)成not nearly結(jié)構(gòu),意為“一點兒也不,相差甚遠”,但沒有not almost結(jié)構(gòu)。如: She is not nearly as pretty as her sister.

　　她一點兒也沒有她妹妹漂亮。 (3)almost 和nearly 都可用于表示極端之意的形容詞前,但卻不能用于修飾不具有極端之意的形容詞。如: That is a(n) almost/nearly perfect plan.

　　那幾乎是一個完美之計。 3.fairly,quite,rather,very,pretty (1)這幾個詞均為副詞,可以修飾形容詞或另外一個副詞,但表達的程度不同,這些詞語氣的輕重如下: fairly→quite→rather/pretty→very (2)fairly語氣最輕,盡管經(jīng)常與褒義詞連用,但由于語氣較弱,往往不帶明顯的恭維或贊賞,通常譯為“還算”、“相當”。比如要說某部電影 fairly good,指的可能是還勉強過得去,只是沒有否定。 (3)quite語氣稍重,意為“頗”或“相當”。要是說某一部電影quite good,那是說這部電影相當不錯,雖不是最好,但至少值得看。 (4)rather或pretty在語氣上又稍重一點,意為“十分”或“相當”(pretty不如rather 正式)。要是說某一部電影rather/pretty good,指的是這部電影相當不錯,語氣比較重,意指要高出一般水平或出乎意料的好。兩者均可與褒義或貶義形容詞連用。與褒義詞連用,表示一種愉快的心情,與貶義(包括不褒不貶)詞連用,表示一種不贊成或不滿意的心情。如: a rather/pretty good play 一部相當好的戲 rather/pretty poor work 相當差的工作 (5)very語氣最強,意為“很”或“非常”。要是說某一部電影very good,那是說這部電影很不錯,算得上是精品之作。 (6)這幾個詞中,只有rather可以與比較級以及副詞too(太)連用。如: It's rather warmer today.今天暖和多了。 This one is rather too large.這個太大了。 注:quite 有時也與比較級連用,但通常只用于 quite better(身體好)這一表達中。 (7)rather和quite有時可直接修飾動詞,而其他幾個副詞一般不這樣用。如: I quite agree with you.我完全同意你(的意見)。 We rather like the book.我們很喜歡這本書。 (8)quite與“冠詞+形容詞+名詞”連用時,置于冠詞之前。但遇到類似情況,rather可置于冠詞之前,也可置于冠詞之后;very或fairly 則只能放在冠詞之后(形容詞之前)。如: It's quite/rather a good idea./It's a rather good idea. 那可真是個好主意。 注:若此結(jié)構(gòu)中沒有形容詞,rather只能放在冠詞之前。如: It was rather a success.那件事相當成功。 (9)修飾不可分級的形容詞(如:right,wrong,ready,full,empty,perfect,impossible,alone,unique 等)通常只用 quite,此時quite 并不表示“相當”或“很”,而表示“完全”。如: You're quite right/wrong.你完全正確/錯了。 That's quite impossible.那完全不可能。 4.possible,probable,likely (1)意義上的區(qū)別: possible指客觀上的可能性,但往往含有希望很小的意味; probable比possible可能性大,表“很可能、大概”,指有實際依據(jù)或邏輯上的合情合理; likely是從外表跡象進行判斷,有可能發(fā)生某事。如: It is possible,though not probable,that he will come tomorrow. 他明天可能來,但也不一定準會來。 The probable cause of his failure was that he had been too tired. 他失敗大概是因為他太累了。 He is very likely to ring me tonight. 今晚他很可能給我打電話。 (2)句型上的不同: ①It is possible/probable/likely+that從句 ②It is possible(for sb.)to do sth. ③Sb./Sth.is likely to do sth. 5.具有兩種形式的副詞 英語中有的副詞兼有兩種形式:一種是與形容詞同形;另一種是在該形容詞后面加副詞詞綴-ly構(gòu)成。這兩種形式的副詞在詞義和用法上有一定的差異,有的甚至完全不同。 常見的這類副詞有:firm堅信、堅持,firmly堅固地;direct徑直地,directly恰好、直接、坦率地;free自由地、免費地,freely自由自在地、隨便地;flat平直地,flat-ly斬釘截鐵地;short突然(=suddenly),shortly不久;even甚至,evenly平均地;clean完全地、徹底地,cleanly清潔地、干凈利落地;clear隔開地、不接觸地,clearly清晰地、明顯地;close近地,closely緊密地、仔細地;dead極其地、完全地,dead-ly死一般地、非常;fair公平地、公正地,fairly相當?shù)?hard努力地,hardly幾乎沒有、幾乎不;most最,mostly大部分地、主要地;right直接地、徑直地、立即,rightly合理地、正確地;high高高地,highly很、非常;just正好,justly公正地;late遲、晚,lately最近;near近,nearly幾乎;pretty相當?shù)?prettily優(yōu)美地;sharp突然地、急劇地,sharply嚴厲地。如: I clean forgot to ask her.我完全忘記去問她了。 Jack caught the ball cleanly.杰克干凈利落地接住了球。 He lives close to the village.他住得離那個村莊很近。 We must look closely at the problems. 我們必須仔細地審視這些問題。 After a day's hard work,he was dead tired. 辛勤工作一天后,他筋疲力盡。 The book is deadly dull.這本書非常枯燥。 The birds are flying high.鳥兒正在高飛。 He is a highly skilled worker.他是一個非常熟練的工人。 He has been working late.他一直工作到很晚。 I haven't seen him lately.我最近沒見他。 The film director is pretty known.這個電影導演非常出名。 We are prettily dressed.我們穿得很漂亮。 The road turns sharp to the right.這條路突然向右轉(zhuǎn)。 “Is there a problem?”he asked sharply. “有問題嗎?”他厲聲喝問。 五、易混句型的區(qū)別 1.so...that與such...that so...that和such...that都作“如此……以至于……”講,that引導的是結(jié)果狀語從句。常見句型如下: so+形容詞/副詞+that such+?+that such...that和so...that有時可以換用,條件是such所修飾的名詞必須是一個單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞,且該名詞前還帶有表性質(zhì)的形容詞。轉(zhuǎn)變公式如下: such+a/an+形容詞+名詞=so+形容詞+a/an+名詞。如: He is such a good student that we all like him. He is so good a student that we all like him. 他是一個如此好的學生,以至于我們都喜歡他。 但是如果是不可數(shù)名詞或復數(shù)可數(shù)名詞,則只能用such而不能用so修飾。如: It was such bad weather that he had to stay at home. 天氣如此不好以至于他不得不待在家里。 如果復數(shù)名詞前有many,few,不可數(shù)名詞前有much,little等表示數(shù)量的形容詞時,應(yīng)該用so而不用such。如: I've had so many falls that I'm black and blue all over. 我摔了很多次,以至于全身青一塊紫一塊的。 Mr.White got so little money a month that he could hardly keep body and soul to-gether. 懷特先生一個月賺如此少的錢以至于幾乎不能維持生活。 當little不表示數(shù)量少而表示“小”的意思時,用such。如: They are such little children that they cannot clean the house by themselves. 他們是如此小的孩子,以至于他們不能自己打掃屋子。 2.其他常用句型: (1)? 與其說A不如說B He is more lazy than slow at his work. 與其說他工作慢不如說他懶。 (2)no more...than...與……一樣不……,不比……多…… The officials could see no more than the Emperor. 官員們并不比皇帝看到的多。 no less...than...與……一樣…… He is no less diligent than you. 他與你一樣勤奮。 (3)more than不止是,非常 She is more than kind to us all. 她對我們都非常好。 (4)rather than而不是 He wants to go swimming with me rather than you. 他想和我而不是和你一起去游泳。 (5)other than除……外 You can't reach the village other than by boat. 除了坐船外,你不能到達這個村莊。 高頻考點一　形容詞和副詞基本意思的考查 在傳統(tǒng)的單項填空題型中,對形容詞和副詞基本意思的考查,主要是命題者設(shè)計一個科學的切合實際生活的題干,要求考生對所給四個選項中的形容詞或副詞意思掌握準確,做出正確的選擇。在新的語法填空題型中,要求考生根據(jù)語境并結(jié)合句子結(jié)構(gòu)去判斷設(shè)空處到底需要形容詞形式還是副詞形式。修飾名詞時就要用形容詞形式,注意兩個并列形容詞表示主語狀態(tài)的現(xiàn)象。如果修飾句子的謂語動詞就要用副詞形式。 考點清單 典例1????(2024福建,23)It was ????(consider)of Michael to inform us of his de-lay in case we got worried. ?答案　considerate ?解析　句意:邁克爾考慮得非常周到,他告訴我們他將耽擱一些時間,以防我 們擔心。considerate考慮周到的。 典例2????(2024湖北,29)The girl used to be shy,but is ????(gradual)getting ac-tive in group work and is more willing to express herself. ?答案　gradually ?解析　句意:這個女孩過去很靦腆,但是她逐漸變得積極參加集體活動了,也 更愿意表達自己了。設(shè)空處需用副詞作狀語。gradually慢慢地,逐漸地。 ? ? 高頻考點二　形容詞和副詞的比較等級 1.平級比較 as+形容詞/副詞原級+as...像……一樣…… as+adj.+a/an+名詞+as...像……一樣的…… as much+a/an+名詞+as...和……一樣是…… not as/so+形容詞/副詞原級+as...不如……那樣…… 2.比較級 ? 3.最高級 最高級的常見修飾語有:序數(shù)詞,by far,nearly,almost等。 典例3????(2024四川,7)Andy is content with the toy.It is the????(good)he has ever got. ?答案　best ?解析　句意:Andy對這個玩具很滿意。這是他得到過的最好的。“It is+the+ 形容詞最高級+sb.has/have done”為固定句型。 ? 高頻考點三　倍數(shù)表示法 ? 典例4????(2024安徽,33)It's said that the power plant is now twice????large as what it was. ?答案　as ?解析　句意:據(jù)說這個發(fā)電廠現(xiàn)在是過去的兩倍大。倍數(shù)表達法有三種:① 倍數(shù)+as+形容詞/副詞的原級+as;②倍數(shù)+形容詞/副詞的比較級+than;③倍數(shù)+the+性質(zhì)名詞+of。 ? 高頻考點四　常用連接性副詞

　　The building is as tall as 100 meters. =The building is 100 meters tall. 這幢樓有100米高。 3.貌似平級比較結(jié)構(gòu)的一些習慣用語 英語中有些看似是平級的比較結(jié)構(gòu),實際上它們是一些固定的習慣用語,它們是:as long as只要;as far as遠至某地點,就……而言;as soon as 一……就;as well as既……又;as good as(=very nearly)與……幾乎一樣,幾乎,簡直是。如: I will work as long as I live. 只要活著,我就要工作。 As far as I know,he is a reliable person. 據(jù)我所知,他是一個可靠的人。 The average cost of one day in a hospital in that country can run as high as $ 400. 在那個國家里平均一天的住院費用可高達400美元。 He has experience as well as knowledge. 他既有知識又有經(jīng)驗。(注意此句翻譯的順序) He as good as called me a coward. 他無異于說我是個懦夫。 She is as good as her word.她這個人很講信用。 He saw her off as far as the bridge near the village. 他把她送到了村邊的小橋那里。 二、比較級 1.比較級的修飾語常見的有:rather,much,still,even,far,a lot,a little,a great deal,by far,a bit,three times等。如: The students study even harder than before. 學生們學習比以前更努力了。 2.“the+比較級...,the+比較級...”表示“越……,越……”。如: The more tickets you sell, the more money you will get. 你賣的票越多,掙的錢越多。 The more you talked,the less attention he paid to you. 你說得越多,他越不注意聽你講。 The longer you stay,the better(it will be). 你待的時間越長越好。 3.“比較級+and+比較級”表示“越來越……”。如: The new city is becoming more and more beautiful. 這座新城市變得越來越美麗了。 4.“the+比較級+of the two+名詞”表示“兩個……中較……的”。如: The taller of the two boys is my brother. 那兩個男孩中較高的那個是我的哥哥。 5.用介詞by表示相差的程度。如: She is taller than I by three inches. =She is three inches taller than I. 她比我高3英寸。 6.某人的兩種性質(zhì)的比較,用more...than...結(jié)構(gòu),意為“與其……不如……”。如: —Ann acts quite unfriendly. —I think she's more shy than unfriendly.(more shy不可變?yōu)閟hyer) ——安表現(xiàn)得很不友好。 ——我認為與其說她不友好,不如說她害羞。 7.比較的對象不能相互包含,常見的句型是: 比較級+than+?

　　如: The Mississippi River is longer than any other river in the United States. 密西西比河比美國其他任何一條河都長。 China is larger than? 8.比較的對象應(yīng)該相同。如: The climate here is warmer than that of Shanghai. 這里的氣候比上海的暖和。 The radios made in our factory are better than those(made)in your factory. 我們廠生產(chǎn)的收音機比你們廠生產(chǎn)的好。 9.注意比較結(jié)構(gòu)中的省略現(xiàn)象 在日常交際中,彼此都明白的比較對象往往省略。如: —What do you think of the film? —I have never seen a better one.(后邊省略了than this film) Tom's composition,if not better(后邊省略了than Jack's),is at least as good as Jack's. 這種省略現(xiàn)象給考生正確判斷造成一定的障礙,在高考中出現(xiàn)頻率較高,應(yīng)引起足夠的重視。 10.貌似比較級的一些習慣用語 In no country other than Britain can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day. 只有在英國,人們才能在一天中體驗四個季節(jié)。(no...other than只有,正是。它常用來加強語氣,多用于書面語)
