2015河南中考英语专项复习讲解(一)
河南中考辅导QQ群310820624欢迎加入 中考英语专项讲解+习题+答案：形容词副词的比较级和最高级一、形容词的比较等级和最高等级： （一）形容词的比较级和最高级的构成 规则变化： 原级比较级最高级 useful more useful most useful difficult more difficult most difficult delicious more delicious most delicious 【重点】 3 （二）形容词比较级的用法 1．形容词的比较级可以单独使用： Be more careful next time. 下次小心点。 Which book is better? 哪本书更好？ 2．也可以和than连用，表示两者相比，than后可以跟： a.名词或代词：He is older than me / I . 他年龄比我大。 b.动名词：Skiing is more exciting than skating. 滑雪比滑冰更刺激。 c.从句：I was a better singer than he was. 我唱歌比他好。 （三）形容词比较级的修饰语
修饰形容词,副词比较级的常用修饰词有:no, a little, a bit, much, even, still, a lot, a great deal, far, by far, rather, any等. 1)只用于修饰比较级的：much;still;even 2)既可以修饰比较级又可以修饰原级的：a little; a bit; rather 等。 3)在这些词中,其中no在修饰比较级时,在意义上否定两者,表示前者在某方面不比后者强多少. He is no richer than Peter. 他不比彼得富裕多少.=He is as poor as Peter. 他和彼得一样穷.表示前者比后者强一点时,通常采用a little,a bit等. The room is a bit larger than that one.这个房间比那个稍大一点. 4)表示前者比后者强很多时,通常采用much,even,still等.(still修饰形容词,副词的比较级时,可以位于 比较级之前或之后.) He works still harder than ever. =He works harder still than ever.他比以往更加努力学习了. 5)表示前者在某方面远远地超过对方时,通常采用far,by far,a lot,a great deal等. Matters are a lot better than ever before. 情况远远比以往好. 6)在否定句,疑问句或条件状语从句中,修饰形容词,副词的比较级,只能用any来修饰. He can't jump any higher. 他不能跳得更高了. Can he jump any higher? 他能跳得更高一些吗? Do you feel any better today? 你今天感觉好一点了吗？ If you can jump any higher, I will give you a prize.如果你能跳得更高些,我就奖励你. 7)比较级前还可加其他表示数量的词： My sister is ten years younger than me. 我妹妹比我小十岁。 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。 4）Your house is ______ bigger than ours. A. Two time B. Second time C. Two times D.Second times
