做好比较级考题的三种思路

一、根据句中的关键词答题

1. The new group of students is better-behaved than the other group who stayed here ______.

A. early                        B. earlier                        C. earliest                        D. the earliest

【解析】答案选B。做此题的关键词是new,即把“新来的学生”与“早些时候呆在这儿的学生”进行比较。全句意为:新来的这群学生比早些时候呆在这儿的那些学生表现得更好些。

2. —Do you need any help, Lucy?

—Yes, the job is ______ I could do myself.

A. less than                   B. more than                  C. no more than               D. not more than

【解析】答案选B。做此题要抓的关键词是yes,由于答话者对问话者的“你需要帮助吗?”作了肯定回答,说明答话者独自完成工作有困难,故填more than。

3. Of the two coats, I’d choose the ______ one to spare some money for a book.

A. cheapest                  B. cheaper                     C. more expensive             D. most expensive

【解析】答案选B。关键词是句中的two,因是两者比较,故用比较级,可将答案锁定在B和C之间;再根据句意,排除C。

二、通过分析的隐含意思答题

1. There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog. ” But there is ______ wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.”

A. some                        B. much                        C. more                         D. most

【解析】答案选C。这道题出得非常巧妙,句中既没有显示比较级的关键词,也没有暗示用比较级的than。而是将“Love me, love my dog”与“Love me, love my book”两句进行比较,要求考生根据这两句话的内容确定哪句话更有wisdom。

2. With April 18’s railway speedup, highway and air transport will have to compete with ______ service for passengers.

A. good                        B. better                        C. best                        D. the best

【解析】答案选B。句子大意为:由于铁路提速了,所以高速公路和航空业要提高服务质量来竞争客源。因将“高速公路和航空”与“铁路”比较,故用比较级。

3. The melon the Smiths served at dinner would have tasted ______ if it had been put in the fridge for a little while.

A. good                        B. better                        C. best                        D. well

【解析】B。题目中将“放入冰箱中冷冻”与“不放入冰箱中冷冻”作比较,故用比较级。句意为:史密斯家人晚餐时上的甜瓜若能放入冰箱中冷冻一下味道会更好些。

4. Speaking of all the songs he has written, I think this is probably his ______ one.

A. better-known           B. well-known                C. best-known             D. most-known

【解析】C。因为是从他所写的所有歌中选出一首来比较,故用最高级。

三、根据相关的修饰关系答题

1. After two years’ research, we now have a ______ better understanding of the disease.

A. very                        B. far                        C. fairly                        D. quite

【解析】B。这四个副词中,通常只有far可用于修饰比较。注:quite有时也可用于修饰比较better,但它只用于表示“身体康复”,不用于其他意义。

2. Work gets done ______ when people do it together, and the rewards are higher too.

A. easily                        B. very easy             C. more easily                 D. easier

【解析】C。根据题意可知,说话者是将 when people do it together 和 when people don’t do it together 这两种情况比较,故选比较级。注意不要选 D,因为在此题是要用副词修饰动词,不能用形容词。另外,根据句末的 higher too 也可知道此题是考查比较级。
