【答案】B
【详解】句意:——谁更有趣,露西还是蒂娜?——蒂娜。她总是让别人笑。
funny有趣的;funnier更有趣的;funniest最有趣的;the funniest最有趣的。根据“Lucy or Tina”可知是两者之间的比较,应填funnier。

A.closest B.much closer C.the closest
【答案】B
【详解】句意:当你犯错时,你离成功更近了。所以犯错后永远不要放弃。
根据语境可知,此处隐含了“犯错后”与“犯错前”的比较,表示离成功“更近”,应用比较级closer,且much可修饰比较级表示程度加深。
3.After hearing the good news, Jenny became even ________.
A.excited B.more excited C.exciting D.most exciting
【答案】B
【详解】句意:听到这个好消息后,珍妮变得更加兴奋了。
excited感到兴奋的;exciting令人兴奋的。主语是Jenny,指人,应用excited;even修饰比较级,表示“更加”,故用more excited。故选B。
4.Bob is ________ of the two boys.
A.tall B.taller C.the taller D.the tallest
【答案】C
【详解】句意:鲍勃是这两个男孩中较高的一个。
tall高的;taller较高的;the taller较高的那个;the tallest最高的。根据“of the two boys”可知是两者之间的比较,应用比较级;当特指两者中“较……的一个”时,比较级前需加定冠词the。
5.Now the after-school service is in proper use, and students are sure to have ________ homework and ________ free time than before.
A.less; more B.fewer; less C.less; fewer
【答案】A
【详解】句意:现在课后服务得到了合理利用,学生们的作业肯定比以前更少,空闲时间更多。
less更少,修饰不可数名词;more更多;fewer更少,修饰可数名词复数。“homework”和“free time”是不可数名词,且根据句意,课后服务合理使用,作业应“更少”,用less;空闲时间应“更多”,用more。故填less; more。
6.I think Mount Taishan is not only ________ than the other mountains in Shandong, but also ________ of all.
A.higher; the most beautiful B.the highest; more beautiful
C.high; the most beautiful D.higher; more beautiful

8.— 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。
9.________ you are, ________ mistakes you will make.
A.The careful; the few B.The more careful; the fewer
C.More careful; fewer D.The most careful; the fewest
【答案】B
【详解】句意:你越认真,你犯的错误就会越少。“the + 比较级, the + 比较级”是固定用法,意为“越……,就越……”,前后分句均需使用比较级且冠词the不可省略。careful是多音节形容词,比较级为more careful;mistakes是可数名词复数,需用few修饰,其比较级为fewer。
10.I do well in Chinese, and I think Chinese is ________ than math.
A.not as easy as B.easier C.easy D.the easiest

A.longer; long B.long; long C.long; longer D.longer; longer
【答案】C
【详解】句意:——你的头发和玛丽的一样长吗?——不,她的头发比我的更长。
考查形容词原级和比较级的用法。longer更长的;long长的。第一空“as…as”结构要求中间用形容词原级,因此用long;第二空出现“than”,需要用形容词比较级,因此用longer。故选C。
12.—You want to lose weight? But why? You look quite slim to me.
—That may be true. But I’m ________ than last year.
A.heavier B.heavy C.heaviest D.the heaviest
【答案】A
【详解】句意:—你想减肥?但为什么?在我看来你看起来很苗条。—那可能是真的。但我比去年更重。
考查形容词比较级。根据“That may be true. But I’m … than last year.”句式结构“ … than”可知,此处需用形容词“heavy”的比较级结构“heavier”,与“去年的体重进行对比”。故选A。

15.The Yellow River is known as one of ________ rivers in the world.
A.long B.longer C.longest D.the longest
【答案】D
【详解】句意:黄河被誉为是世界上最长的河流之一。

C.four thousand and five hundred fifty
D.four thousands and five hundred and fifty
【答案】A
【详解】句意:我的新电脑花费了四千五百五十元。
four thousand five hundred and fifty四千五百五十;four thousands five hundred fifty“thousands”错误使用了复数形式;four thousand and five hundred fifty“and”位置错误(应在百位与十位之间);four thousands and five hundred and fifty“thousands”错误使用复数且“and”位置错误。根据英语数字表达规则,千位数中“thousand”用单数,百位与十位之间用“and”连接,应填four thousand five hundred and fifty。
17.Sun Yat-sen’s Mausoleum is over ________ in size.
A.eighty-thousand-square-meter B.eighty thousand square meters

eighty-thousand-square-meter八万平方米(连字符形式,用作形容词);eighty thousand square meters八万平方米(标准数量表达);eighty-thousand square meters连字符错误;eighty thousands square meters“千”用了复数,错误。表示具体面积时,用“数字+单位”且单位用复数,应填eighty thousand square meters。

A.one thousand two hundred and eighty-four
B.twelve thousand three hundred eighty-four
C.twelve thousands three hundred and eighty-four
D.twelve thousand three hundred and eighty-four

【详解】句意:我们怎么读数字 12,384?
英语中thousand前有具体数字时不加s,排除选项C;百位和十位之间通常加and,排除选项B;选项A数值为1,284,与题干不符。12,384正确读法为twelve thousand three hundred and eighty-four。
19.Which number is six hundred and seventy-three thousand one hundred and eleven?
A.6,073,100 B.60,731,100 C.6,731,11 D.673,111

【详解】句意:哪个数字是六十七万三千一百一十一?

20.How do you read 12,845?

二、单词正确形式填空

【答案】best
【详解】句意:——你最喜欢哪种植物?——我认为向日葵是最好的。它们总是转向太阳,真可爱!good“好的”,形容词;根据问句“like most”及答语中“the...They always...”的语境可知,此处需用最高级形式best“最好的”。故填best。
22.Bob drank ________ (little) orange juice among the three of us.
【答案】the least
【详解】句意:在我们三人中,鲍勃喝的橙汁最少。little“少的”,形容词;根据“among the three of us”可知,此处是在三者之间进行比较,需用最高级形式。little的最高级是least,且最高级前需加定冠词the。故填the least。
23.China is one of the most civilized (文明的) and ________ (old) countries in the world.
【答案】oldest
【详解】句意:中国是世界上最文明且最古老的国家之一。根据“one of the most civilized (文明的) and”可知,此处使用形容词最高级,old意为“年老的;旧的”,最高级形式为oldest,故填oldest。

26.Australia is the fifth ________ country after Russia, Canada, the US and Brazil. (large)

28.I think there will be ________ (few) schools in the future. Children will study at home online.
【答案】fewer
【详解】句意:我认为在未来将会有更少的学校。孩子们将会在家在线学习。这里用few的比较级fewer,是因为句子中有“in the future(在未来)”,是将未来的学校数量和现在的学校数量作比较,表达未来学校数量会更少,所以用比较级形式。
29.Lucy is ________ (outgoing) than her sister.
【答案】more outgoing
【详解】句意:露西比她姐姐更外向。outgoing“外向的”,是形容词。句中有“than”(比),表示两者之间的比较,需要用比较级。outgoing是多音节形容词,其比较级需在前面加more,即more outgoing,意为“更外向的”,符合语境。

三、完成句子
31.但随着工业发展,环境问题变得越发严重。
However, with industrial development, environmental problems become ______________.
【答案】
more and more serious
【详解】对比中英句子可知,空格处与中文“越发严重”这一关键词相对应。“严重”对应英文形容词serious,在句中作系动词“become”的表语。“越来越……”在英语中常用“比较级 + and + 比较级”的结构来表达。“serious”是多音节形容词,其比较级需在前面加“more”,因此“越发严重”译为“more and more serious”。故填more and more serious。
32.现代发明使我们的生活更方便。
Modern inventions have made our lives ________ ________.
【答案】 more convenient
【详解】对照中英文,可知空处应填“更方便”;“make+宾语+形容词”表示“使……变得……”,因此空处填形容词作宾补;convenient意为“方便的”,形容词,结合汉语提示,空处应填convenient的比较级;因convenient是多音节形容词,其比较级不能在词尾加-er,需在前面加more。故填more convenient。
33.Tony比他哥哥害羞得多。
Tony is ________ ________ than his brother.
【答案】 much shyer
【详解】原句中“害羞得多”是关键词,shy表示“害羞”,much可修饰形容词比较级加强程度,shy的比较级为shyer。
34.黄果树瀑布是世界第三大瀑布。
Huangguoshu Waterfall is the ________ ________ waterfall in the world.
【答案】
third largest
【详解】原句中“第三大”是关键词。“第三”用序数词third,“大”用形容词最高级largest,“第三大”即the third largest。应填third;largest。
35.孔子被认为是中国最伟大的思想家之一。
Confucius is ________ to be one of the greatest ________ in China.
【答案】 considered thinkers
【详解】原句中“被认为”是关键词,表示“被认为是”的短语是be considered to be。本句为被动语态,be动词已经给出,considered符合语境;第二空“思想家”是关键词,对应单词thinker,“one of+the+最高级+可数名词复数”为固定结构,复数形式thinkers符合语境。
36.The Yangtze River is longer than any other river in China. (改为同义句)
The Yangtze River is ________ ________ river in China.
【答案】 the longest
【详解】句意:长江比中国其他任何一条河流都长。改为同义句,原句表达“长江是中国最长的河流”,“longest”表示“最长的”,形容词最高级前加定冠词the。故填the;longest。
37.我认为跑步是保持健康的最佳方式之一。
I think running is one of ________ ________ ways to keep healthy.
【答案】 the best
【详解】根据中英文对照,空格处缺少“最佳的”。英语中表达“最……之一”的固定结构是“one of+the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”,good“好的”的最高级形式是best,用来修饰复数名词“ways”。故填the;best。
38.珠穆朗玛峰是世界上最高的山。
Mount Qomolangma is ________ ________ mountain in the world.
【答案】 the highest
【详解】根据中英文对照可知,句中缺少“最高的”的表达。形容词high“高的”的最高级为highest,前需加定冠词the,结构为“the + 形容词最高级 + 名词”。故填the;highest。
39.在一个展厅里,我看到了一件由成千上万颗玻璃“眼泪”组成的艺术品。
In one hall, I saw an artwork with ________ ________ glass “tears” falling down.
【答案】 thousands of
【详解】原句中“成千上万”是关键词,表示“成千上万”的英文是thousands of,是固定短语,后接名词复数。
40.It’s ________.
它有6,671千米长。
【答案】6,671 kilometers long
【详解】原句中“有……长”是关键词,描述长度的固定表达为“数字+单位+long”,“千米”为kilometer,复数形式为kilometers,故填6,671 kilometers long。

【答案】

【导语】本文主要介绍了中国最大的自然公园 ——三江源国家公园,包括它的含义、地位、面临的危机以及保护措施,表达了对三江源未来的美好展望。
1.句意:“三江源”指的是中国三大河流的源头:长江、黄河和澜沧江。which引导定语从句,先行词Sanjiangyuan为单数名词,句子为一般现在时,动词mean需变为第三人称单数形式means。
2.句意:三江源因美丽的风景而闻名。be famous for意为“因……而闻名”,固定搭配,此处需用介词for。
3.句意:周边居民都依赖它丰富的自然资源。名词resources需用形容词修饰,nature的形容词形式为natural“自然的”。
4.句意:对动物和人类来说,那里的生活也比其他地方艰难得多。句中出现比较级标志词than,且much可修饰比较级,difficult的比较级形式为more difficult。
5.句意:为了阻止情况恶化,我们的政府采取了许多措施,比如建立三江源国家公园。stop…from doing sth.意为“阻止……做某事”,介词from后接动名词,get的动名词形式为getting。
6.句意:俱乐部建议成员们创建一个微信群,并邀请其他人加入。advise sb. to do sth.意为“建议某人做某事”,固定搭配,此处需用不定式to start。
7.句意:这让越来越多的人可以在线见面,并讨论如何保护环境。meet each other和talk about是并列谓语,应用连词and连接。
8.句意:我们国家正尽最大努力使三江源国家公园成为世界上最著名的公园之一。try one’s best意为“尽某人最大努力”,主语为Our country,对应的形容词性物主代词为its。
9.句意:我们国家正尽最大努力使三江源国家公园成为世界上最著名的公园之一。“one of the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数”表示“最……的……之一”,park需变为复数形式parks。
10.句意:我相信在未来,这个公园将成为向外界展示中国风景之美的一个窗口。window是可数名词单数,此处表泛指“一个”,且window以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a。
