(教材原句)It is famous for the world's highest mountain. (教材原句)But this area is also full of the most amazing colours in nature. 这两句中的highest，most amazing都是最高级的表达，用于三者或三者以上进行比较。形容词和副词的最高级通常在词尾加-est构成最高级，多音节词常在前面加most构成最高级。 The painting by Fuxing is the most beautiful. 复兴的画是最漂亮的。 [随学随练] 单项填空。 The Jinsha River is ________ river in Yunnan.

(教材原句)The mountains shine brightly in the sun, like white sea waves. 这两句中的like都用作介词，表示“像”。这三句中都是比喻的表达，分别将“clouds”比喻成“white sheep”，将“mountains”比喻成“waves”。 The moon is like a silver plate. 月亮就像银盘。 [随学随练] 单项填空。 A good friend is ________ a mirror. A．like B．as C．of D．for 【答案】A 【详解】句意：好朋友就像一面镜子。 like像……一样（表示比喻）；as作为；of……的（表示所属）；for为了（表示目的）。此处表示比喻，应填like。 3. (教材原句)The plateau is quieter than the big cities. (教材原句) We have fewer shops and restaurants. (教材原句)In my heart, it's better than any other place. 这两句中quieter, fewer,better都是比较级的表达，用于两者之间的比较。 I have fewer books than my sister. 我的书比我姐姐少。 [随学随练] 单项填空。 (1) — I don’t like this book. It’s too boring. — Me neither. I think it’s ________ than the one we read last week. A．boring B．more boring C．most boring D．the most boring 【答案】B 【详解】句意：——我不喜欢这本书。它太无聊了。——我也不喜欢。我觉得它比我们上周读的那本更无聊。 boring无聊的；more boring更无聊的；most boring最无聊的；the most boring最无聊的。句中出现标志词than（比），说明是两者（这本书和上周读的那本书）之间的比较，必须用形容词比较级，直接排除A（原级）、C、D（最高级，最高级用于三者及以上的比较）。boring是多音节形容词，多音节形容词的比较级变化规则是在原级前加more，因此正确形式是more boring。 (2) There are ________ young people living in the hometown than before, because there are ________ chances for them to find jobs in cities. A．less, more B．fewer, more C．more, less D．more, fewer 【答案】B 【详解】句意：现在生活在家乡的年轻人比以前少了，因为他们有更多的机会在城市找工作。 考查比较级和形容词辨析。less更少，修饰不可数名词；fewer更少，修饰可数名词；more更多。根据“chances for them to find jobs in cities.”可知，现在很多年轻人去大城市找工作，因为城市里的工作机会多，所以家乡里的年轻人更少了，第一空应用fewer修饰young people，排除ACD。故选B。 4. (教材原句)I'm proud to say that I'm from one of the most beautiful places in the world. 此句是一个复合句，主句是I'm proud to say，其后的that I'm from one of the most beautiful places in the world是一个宾语从句。 此句中one of the most beautiful places表示“最美丽的地方之一”，是最高级的常用表达“one of the+最高级+复数名词”，表示“最...之一”。 Mount Huangshan is one of the most famous natural wonders. 黄山是最著名的自然奇观之一。 [随学随练] 单项填空。 Doubao has become one of ________ APPs in China. A．popular B．more popular C．the most popular D．most popular 【答案】C 【详解】句意：豆包已经成为中国最受欢迎的应用程序之一。 popular受欢迎的；more popular更受欢迎的；the most popular最受欢迎的；most popular最受欢迎的。固定结构"one of + the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数"，表示“……中最……之一”。popular是多音节形容词，其最高级形式为the most popular，且最高级前需加定冠词the。 5. (教材原句)But when the tides come, the water runs much faster. 此句中when引导了一个时间状语从句。时间状语从句通常遵循“主将从现”原则，若时间状语表示的时间发生时，主句动作总是发生，主句用一般现在时。 When you heat ice, it melts. 当你加热冰时，它就会融化。 faster是比较级的表达。在比较级前可以加much, far，a little，even等修饰，但不能用very和比较级修饰比较级。 He jumps much higher than David. 他跳得比大卫高得多。 [随学随练] 单项填空。 She is ________ better than yesterday. A．much B．a lot of C．many D．lot of 【答案】A 【详解】句意：她比昨天好多了。 much非常；a lot of许多；many许多；lot of表达错误。better是形容词比较级，much可以修饰比较级，表示程度加深，意为“……得多”。a lot of和many后接名词，不能修饰比较级。 4、 基础知识综合练习 1. 根据提示填写正确形式的单词，每空一词。 (1) ________ (大多数) students in my class need a short rest after a busy morning class. 【答案】Most 【详解】句意：我们班大多数学生在忙碌的上午课后需要短暂休息。 “大多数”对应英文most，修饰可数名词复数students。注意句首单词首字母要大写。故填Most。 (2) Water falls from a ________ (云) into a river. 【答案】cloud 【详解】句意：水从云中落入河中。“云”可译为cloud，为可数名词。a后接单数名词。 (3) This kind of cloth feels very s________ (柔软的) and warm. 【答案】soft/oft 【详解】句意：这种布摸起来非常柔软又暖和。句中“feels”为感官系动词，后接形容词作表语，“柔软的”对应的英文单词是soft，且以s开头，符合题意。 (4) The weather is hot.

After a six-hour drive, they arrived at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The view was breathtaking. The canyon stretched out for miles, with deep, colourful cliffs and a winding river at the bottom. The family spent the afternoon hiking along the South Kaibab Trail, taking lots of photos and marveling at the size and beauty of the natural wonder. The next day, the family took a helicopter (直升机) ride over the Grand Canyon. From above, they could see even more of its majestic beauty. The helicopter soared over the North Rim, the Colorado River, and even some of the smaller canyons nearby. As the vacation ended, the Johnson family felt a mix of sadness and gratitude. They had made lasting memories and appreciated the wonders of nature more than ever. They promised each other that they would return someday to explore more of the Grand Canyon’s secrets. 1．How long did it take the Johnson family to drive to the Grand Canyon? 2．How did the Johnson family feel when their vacation ended? 3．What will you do if you visit the Grand Canyon?

The lions looked strong and calm, 5 they were the kings of the savanna. As the sun rose, its golden light 6 the grassland. It was a scene straight out of a documentary.   The Serengeti is not just about large animals. There are also 7 birds with colorful feathers and small animals like giraffes and antelopes. Each creature plays a 8 in the ecosystem.   Visiting the Serengeti made me realize how 9 nature is. It’s a place where life continues in its oldest ways.
