在四级测试中,比较级属低档题,比较简单,考查范围大体有 1)比较级形式的判断 比较级考题在设计干扰项时一般都会有比较与非比较的选择,more than 与as/so …as的选择。如上面的③,⑤。 2)比较级的修饰语 比较级的修饰语包括修饰语的结构和修饰语的选用。 结构指比较级修饰语须置于比较级之前,如①,②和④。 修饰语的选用根据其所表达的意思而定,如⑥,⑩。 3)比较级结构与其它结构的区别 如⑧中形容词修饰语more than a month与比较级结构的区别,⑨中most 与the most的区别。
3. 比较级应对策略
1)如果选项中有比较级结构,则该题则为比较级考查题,可根据比较级使用规则选择正确答案。 2)比较级修饰语应注意more than 或as…as结构之前。 3)注意比较结构的完整性,要么是more than 结构,要么是as/so …as 结构,或是the more …., the more ….的句型。 4)注意结构的各种变体: 结构内出现名词时的结构可以是as old a car, as many /much/few/little …as。 5)如果有比较 对象的选择应注意比较对象的一致性和互不包容性。如: His English is better than anyone else s in his class.
