高考英语语法词汇专项突破:形容词和副词比较级结构重难点解读
[比较级考题展示]
【考题1】(2021全国甲卷)After spending some time looking at all the defensive equipment at the wall, we decided it was time for some action and what (good) than to ride on a piece of history!
答案与解析:better。考查形容词比较级。根据后文than可知,此处应用形容词good的比较级better。故填better。句意:在花了一些时间查看了城墙上所有的防御设备之后,我们决定是时候采取一些行动了,还有什么比骑在历史上更好的呢。
【考题2】(2021新高考I卷)The amazing thing about the spring is that the colder the temperature gets, the (hot) the spring!
答案与解析:hotter。考查形容词比较级。此处根据前面的the colder和空白处的冠词the看出是固定结构“the +比较级,the+比较级”,意为“越……,越……”。故填hotter。句意:关于黄山温泉让人惊讶的是,气温越低,温泉越暖和!
【考题3】(2020浙江1月卷)The first is declining birthrates, which means old generations are large compared to younger generations, and so, on average, the population becomes (old) than before.
答案与解析:older。考查形容词比较级。根据下文than before可知应用形容词比较级,故填older。句意:首先是出生率的下降,这意味着老一代比年轻一代人口多,因此,平均而言,人口比以前老龄化。
再请同学们先看下面教材里的典型句子,注意斜体部分的比较级用法:
1. It’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced. (人教课标版教材)
2. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before. (人教课标版教材)
3. Finally, in 1991, the sister and their family moved to a safer area and since then they have never looked back. (北师大版教材)
通过教材的原句大家可以发现比较级是一个非常活跃的语法项目,既是中学阶段的重点语法,也是各类考试的重要考点。下面我们梳理一下比较级的重难点:
[考点突破]
一、比较级的基本句型
(一)用adj/adv-er +than…表示“比…”。如:
I am a better swimmer than he(him).
【典题】I think watching TV every evening is a waste of time----there are (much) meaningful things to do.
【答案与解析】more。本题的watching TV与其他事情比较,属于两者比较,用比较级,从a waste of time看出是肯定后者。破折号后面的句子补全就是:----there are more meaningful things to do than watching TV every evening.
(2) 用 as+原级+ as…以及not so(as)+原级+as…表示同级比较。如:
Our neighbor has as big a house as ours.我们的邻居有一栋跟我们家一样大的房子。
【典题1】It’s generally believed that teaching is_______ much an art as it is a science.
【答案与解析】as。在“as + adj. + a (an) +单数名词+as…” 的比较级结构中,a或an不可放在形容词之前,本句意思是“人们普遍认为教学既是一门科学,又是一门艺术。根据后面的a
