ear ly→earlier →earliest
特殊 副词
well →better →best
much →more →most
badly →worse →worst
little →less →least 但是,开放类副词即以后缀 ?ly 结尾的副词不能像形容词那样 加 ?er 或 ?est ,如
quickly →more quickly →most quickly quietly →more quietly →most quietly〔注〕: early中的 ?ly 不是后缀,故可以把 ?y 变 ?i 再加 ?er 和 ?est
一、原级比较的基本用法
1. 原级比较由“as+形容词或副词 (或再加名词或短语 ) +as ”构成“原级相同”比 较句,表示两者比较;其否定式,即“程度不及”比较句型为“not so(as) +形容词或副 词+as”,而且 as?as 结构前可用 just, almost, nearly, quite等表示程度的词修饰 1) Walking briskly for thirty minutes will burn as many calories as .
〔 A 〕 to run for fifteen minutes
〔 B 〕 running for fifteen minutes
〔 C 〕 you run for fifteen minutes
〔 D 〕 fifteen?minute walking
2) The gorilla(大猩猩 ) , while 〔 A 〕 not quite as curious than 〔 B 〕 the chimpanzee(黑猩猩 ) , shows more persistence 〔 C 〕 and memory retention(记忆力 ) in solving 〔 D 〕 a problem.
3) Alaska is twice 〔 A 〕 as larger 〔 B 〕 as 〔 C 〕 the next largest 〔 D 〕 state, Texas.
2. “as (so)+名词+as +名词”进行名词比较,这时一般情况下有一个表示原级的比 较词,但如果第一名词前出现了形容词修饰该词或出现副词修饰谓语,应当用 so 而不用 as 4) Thomas Jefferson’s achievements as an architect rival his contributions a politician.
〔 A 〕 such
〔 B 〕 more
〔 C 〕 as
〔 D 〕 than
5) I should say Henry is not much a writer as a reporter. (88年考题 )
〔 A 〕 that
〔 B 〕 so
〔 C 〕 this
〔 D 〕 as
二、比较级
1. 比较级由“形容词 (副词 ) 比较级+than +?,”构成表示在两者中间一方比另一方 “更加?”。连词 than 后可接句子,也可接名词、代词、名词短语、介词短语、动词、动 词不定式、 ?ING 结构和 ?ED 结构,有时也可省去 than 。
6) Natural mica(云母 ) of 〔 A 〕 a superior 〔 B 〕 quality is cheapest 〔 C 〕 to obtain than synthetic 〔 D 〕 mica.
7) She is older than .
〔 A 〕 any other girl in the group

〔 C 〕 all girls in the group
〔 D 〕 you and me as well as the group
8) Josephine McCrackin joined 〔 A 〕 the “Santa Cruz Sentinel” in 1905 and, until her death fifteen years late 〔 B 〕 , remained 〔 C 〕 active in journalistic 〔 D 〕 work.
2. 注意 than 前后两项相比较的人或事物要一致

〔 C 〕 for ours it had
〔 D 〕 it did for us

三、最高级
1. 最高级用于三者以上比较,形容词的结构形式是“定冠词+形容词最高级+名词+表示范围的短语或从句”(如 all, of all, of the tree, in the world, that has ever taken place 等 )
12) The more 〔 A 〕 fearsome of all the 〔 B 〕 animals in 〔 C 〕 the Western 〔 D 〕 Hemisphere is the grizzly bear.
13) Of all economic 〔 A 〕 problems, inflation continues to be 〔 B 〕 a 〔 C 〕 most significant in its daily impact on 〔 D 〕 people and business.
14) , the most familiar to general public is the criminal jurisdiction. 〔 A 〕 All the activities
〔 B 〕 The activities
〔 C 〕 Of all the activities
〔 D 〕 It is the activities
2. 副词的最高级与形容词最高级的区别在于最高级前没有定冠词 the
1) B为正确答案。
2) B错。改为 as ,和前面的 as 和形容词原形 curious 一起构成同程度比较。
3) B错。 改为 as large。
4) C对。动词 rival(胜过、匹敌 ) 前后是两个相比较的成分 achievements(成果 ) 和 contributions(贡献 ) ,由于前面的名词后出现了短语 as an architect,故空白处也应用 as ,使前后对比成分一致。
5) B为正确答案。
6) C错。应改为比较级 cheaper 。比较级后并不一定跟接连词 than ,有时在其间有名 词或名词短语 (被形容词所修饰 ) ,介词短语,不定式或其他成分隔开。
7) A为正确答案。“She”作为单个不能跟全组比 (C和 D 不对 ) ,也不能跟全组所有相 比,因为“她”也是其中一员,自然“她”不能跟自己相比。这里“She”比较的是“这组 中的任何一个”,所以 A 对。
8) B错。应改为比较级 later ,因此处实为与 1905年相比晚 15年,故应使用比较级。
9) D为正确答案。
10) A为正确答案。
11) D错。 改为 his master’s。
12) A错。 改为 most 。
13) C错。改为 the , significant是多音节形容词,在此处应用最高级形式 (在前面 加 the most),注意句中的“of all? ”。
14) C 为正确答案。本句空白处缺状语, A 和 B 全为名词短语,不符合条件; D 为句子, 和空白后面的句子没有任何联系,故亦应排除。只有 C 正确,和后面的最高级 the most familiar 前后呼应。
一、形容词与副词的同级比较:由“as(so)?as”引出,其否定式为“not so?”或 “not as?as”,考生还应注意下列含有“as”结构或短语的句子
1. as such:表示上文所指明的事或人
He is a child,and must be treated as such. 他是个孩子,必须被当作孩子对待。 2. as much:表示“与?同量”
Take as much as you like. 拿多少都行。
I would gladly have paid twice as much for it. 就是价格再贵一倍,我也会愿意 把它买下的。
He as much as admitted the whole story. 他几乎全部承认了。
3. as many:表示“与?一样多”
I found six mistakes in as many lines. 我在六行中发现了六个错。
二、表示“几倍于”的比较级:用 twice (两倍 ) , four times (四倍 ) , ten times (十 倍 ) 加上 as ? as 结构
This one is four times as big as that one. 这个是那个的四倍大。 (这个比那个大 三倍。 ) / Our campus is three times as large as yours. 我们的校园比你们的大两倍。 / He has books twice as many as she does. 他的书比她多一倍。
1) The five?year deal obligates 〔 A 〕 the country to buy nine million tons 〔 B 〕 of grain a year 〔 C 〕 , three million more as 〔 D 〕 the old pact’s minimum.三、“the same +名词+as”表示同等比较
2) The lens of a camera performs the lens of the eye.
〔 A 〕 in the same function 〔 B 〕 the same function as
〔 C 〕 the function is the same as 〔 D 〕 and has the same function
3) The elimination of inflation would ensure that the amount of money used in repaying a loan would
have as the amount of money borrowed.
〔 A 〕 as the same value 〔 B 〕 the same value
〔 C 〕 value as the same 〔 D 〕 the value is the same
四、比较级前可用 a little, a bit, slightly, a great deal, a lot,many, much等词语表示不定量, far, completely,still表示程度或更进一步
4) There are now methods for studying color vision in infants than there once were.
〔 A 〕 more sophisticated than
〔 B 〕 much more sophisticated
〔 C 〕 much sophisticated
〔 D 〕 sophisticated
5) The photographs of Mars taken by satellite are than those taken from the Earth. 〔 A 〕 clearest
〔 B 〕 the clearest
〔 C 〕 much clearer
〔 D 〕 more clearer
6) Common porpoises(海豚 ) are usually not considered 〔 A 〕 migratory, although 〔 B 〕 some do move 〔 C 〕 to more warmer 〔 D 〕 waters in winter.

late 意思是
You have come too late.
What have you been doing lately?
3) deep与 deeply
deep 意思是
He pushed the stick deep into the mud.
Even father was deeply moved by the film.

He opened the door wide.
English is widely used in the world.
6) free与 freely
free 的意思是

副词有加 a 或 ly 的 区别在于通常加 a 的副词描述一种状态, 而加 ly 的副词则倾向于 感觉。
可修饰比较级的词:
1) a bit, a little, rather, much, far, by far, many, a lot, lots, a great deal, any, still, even等
2)还可以用表示倍数的词或度量名词作修饰语。

典型例题 :
1) ---- Are you feeling ____?
---- Yes, I'm fine now.
A. any well B. any better C. quite good
D. quite better
答案:B. any 可修饰比较级, quite 修饰原级, well 的比较级为 better.
2) The experiment was____ easier than we had expected.
A. more B. much more C. much
D. more much
答案:C. much 可修饰比较级,因此 B , C 都说得通,但 easier 本身已是比较级,不 需 more ,因此 C 为正确答案。
3) If there were no examinations, we should have ___ at school.
A. the happiest time B. a more happier time
C. much happiest time D. a much happier time
答案:D 。
Vi
一 定义:
不及物动词
英语中按动词后可否直接跟宾语,可把动词分成不及物动词与和及物动词。
不及物动词:字典里词后标有 vi. 的就是不及物动词。 不及物动词后不能直接跟有动作 的对象(即宾语)。若要跟宾语,必须先在其后添加上某个介词,如 to,of ,at后方可跟上 宾语。具体每个动词后究竟加什么介词就得联系动词短语了,如 listen to,look at…. 如:look 看 (vi.) x宾语 (即不能直接加宾语 ). Look! She is singing.
Look carefully! (注意:carefully 是副词,不是名词,故不作宾语 )
look at 看 …….+宾语 Look at me carefully! (me是代词,作宾语 )
at 是小范围 in 是大范围
如:
The students work very hard.学生们学习很努力。
She apologized to me again. 她再次向我道歉。
The accident happened yesterday evening.事故是昨天晚上发生的。
分清及物不及物动词 :
分清动词的及物不及物是在英语学习中必须解决的首要问题。 动词及物与不及物通常有 以下几种情况:
a .主要用作及物动词。及物动词后面必须跟宾语。可以用于:
He reached Paris the day before yesterday.
Please hand me the book over there.
They asked me to go fishing with them.
类似的还有:buy, catch, invent, found, like, observe, offer, prevent, promise, raise, find, forget, receive, regard, see, say, seat, supply, select, suppose, show, make, take, tell....
b .主要用作不及物的动词。不及物动词后面不跟宾语。只能用与:
类似的还有:agree, go, work, listen, look, come, die, belong, fall, exist, rise, arrive, sit, sail, hurry, fail, succeed....
c . 既可以用作及物又可以用作不及物的动词, 其意义不变。 如 begin 都是作
close, consider, insist, read, learn, prepare, pay, hurt, improve....
d .既可以用作及物又可以用作不及物的动词,其意义完全不同。
这类动词作不及物动词是一个意义;而作及物动词时却是另一个意义。如 lift 作不及物 动词时是指烟雾的
He lifted his glass and drank.
类似的还有:beat vi. 跳动 vt. 敲、打 ; grow vi.生长 vt. 种植
play vi.玩耍 vt. 打(牌、球) , 演奏 smell vi.发出(气味) vt. 嗅
ring vi. (电话、铃)响 vt. 打电话 speak vi.讲话 vt. 说(语言)
hang vi. 悬挂 vt. 绞死 operate vi.动手术 vt. 操作
需要注意的一点是:少数不及物动词唯一可跟的宾语是同源宾语,如:I dreamed a dream last night.
及物动词
英语中按动词后可否直接跟宾语,可把动词分成及物动词与不及物动词。
及物动词:字典里词后标有 vt. 的就是及物动词。 及物动词后必须跟有动作的对象 (即 宾语),并且可直接跟宾语。
如 see 看见 (vt.) +宾语 I can see a boy.
其实所谓 “ 及物 ” ,就是后面可直接加宾语的动词,有被动形式,而不及物动词是没有被 动式的,也不可直接加宾语,需加上介词。
及物动词后面可直接接宾语, 不及物动词后面不可直接接宾语, 一般要加介词后再接宾 语。实际上很多动词既是及物动词,又是不及物动词。我举一个例子,就说 write 。如 I am writing. 和 I am writing a letter.在前一个句子 write 是不及物动词,在后一个句子 write 是及 物动词。又如, see 是及物动词,但在特殊情况下如 seeing is believing。
不及物动词就是一个动作不能施加到另一个物体上,也就是后面不能加宾语。
例如:He is running. run这个动词就是不及物动词,后面不能加 sth 。(不能说跑什么 东西)
分清及物不及物动词 :
分清动词的及物不及物是在英语学习中必须解决的首要问题。 动词及物与不及物通常有 以下几种情况:
a .主要用作及物动词。及物动词后面必须跟宾语。可以用于:
He reached Paris the day before yesterday.
Please hand me the book over there.
They asked me to go fishing with them.
类似的还有:buy, catch, invent, found, like, observe, offer, prevent, promise, raise, find, forget, receive, regard, see, say, seat, supply, select, suppose, show, make, take, tell....
b .主要用作不及物的动词。不及物动词后面不跟宾语。只能用于:
类似的还有:agree, go, work, listen, look, come, die, belong, fall, exist, rise, arrive, sit, sail, hurry, fail, succeed....
c . 既可以用作及物又可以用作不及物的动词, 其意义不变。 如 begin 都是作
close, consider, insist, read, learn, prepare, pay, hurt, improve....
d .既可以用作及物又可以用作不及物的动词,其意义完全不同。
这类动词作不及物动词是一个意义;而作及物动词时却是另一个意义。如 lift 作不及物 动词时是指烟雾的
He lifted his glass and drank.
类似的还有:beat vi. 跳动 vt. 敲、打 ; grow vi.生长 vt. 种植
play vi.玩耍 vt. 打(牌、球) , 演奏 smell vi.发出(气味) vt. 嗅
ring vi. (电话、铃)响 vt. 打电话 speak vi.讲话 vt. 说(语言)
hang vi. 悬挂 vt. 绞死 operate vi.动手术 vt. 操作
在英语错误中, “ 及物动词 +介词 +宾语 ” (transitive verb+preposition+object),是常见 的一种。所谓及物动词,就是谓语动词(predicative verb),不必通过介词引荐宾语。相 反的,不及物动词(intransitive verb)是不带宾语的。有许多动词,虽然性质是及物的,但 不一定要有宾语,如下列的① a 和② a 便是这种情形:
① a. We study every day.
b. Do you study English every day.
② a. Please write clearly next time.
b. Can you write your composition now?
如果本质上就是不及物动词,就不会有宾语; 若要宾语, 就要借介词之助,一起连用才 行 (不及物动词 +宾语 +介词 ) ,如③ b 和④ b; ③ a 和④ a 是错的;
*③ a. The children are listening the music.
b. The children are listening to the music.
*④ a. She is laughing the crippled man.
b. She is laughing at the crippled man.
反之,及物动词不必靠介词,就可以带宾语,如上述的① b 和② b ,又如⑤和 ⑥:⑤ John is giving a book to me.
⑥ Who will answer this question?
如果无意中把介词加上,就错了,如:
*⑦ Who will answer to this question?
下列这句从房地产广告中看到的句子,也犯了同样的错:
“We have many buyers awaiting for available units here.”
“Awaiting” 是个及物动词,后面的介词 “for” 是多余的,要去掉;不然把 “awaiting” 改为 “waiting for” 也行。
许多人习惯上喜欢把介词加到及物动词后面,然后才带出宾语。最常见的是 “emphasize/stress on/upon” 和 “discuss about” ,如:
⑧ Singaporeans seem to have emphasized on material gains.
⑨ In our education system, we stress upon examination results.
⑩ World leaders spent a lot of time discussing about worsening economic problems.显然的,这三句里的介词 “on/upon” 和 “about” 是多余的,不必要的。
下面是些类似的错误:
● The young must obey to their elders.
● Do not approach to that odd-looking man.
● The audience attacked on the rude speaker.
● Nothing can escape from his parents' eyes.
● Do you hope to serve for your nation?
● When did Susan marry with Paul?
介词 “to, on, from, for, with” 都要去掉才对。
为什么会有这些错误呢?主因是分不清楚及物动词和不及物动词的性质。 其次, 就是对 同一个动词及其名词的句型有些混淆。解决之道有二。第一,要把 “ 及物动词 +宾语 ” 和 “ 不及 物动词 +介词 +宾语 ” 划分清楚,如:
? I did not answer him./ I did not reply to him.
? He reached Londan yesterday./ He arrived in London yesterday.
第二,把及物动词转化为名词,然后加上适当的介词和宾语,如:
? Don't approach such a person.
? Is oral practice a good approach to language teaching?
A 有些动词只是及物动词 ; 它们不可以单独用,后面必须跟宾语。
{ False: They always want after lunch.
Right: They always want a cup of tea after lunch.
{ False: He is sending now.
Right: He is sending a letter now.
B 有些动词只是不及物动词;它们可以单独用,如果后面想接宾语,动词后面必须加 上介词。
{ Right: He is looking around.
False: He is looking me.
Right: He is looking at me.
{ Right: He is listening carefully.
False: He is listening the teacher carefully.
Right: He is listening to the teacher carefully.
C 有些动词既是及物动词,又是不及物动词 ; 但是有时候词义会改变。
{ The customer is asking loudly.
The customer is asking for you now.
The customer is asking a question now.
{ If you work hard, you will succeed.
If you work hard, you will succeed in passing the exam (same meaning).
If you work hard, you will succeed John as the manager of this company (different meaning).
