2020年高考英语词汇语法专题9：形容词和副词比较等级易错点解题方法(含答案解析)

专题09 形容词和副词比较等级易错点解题方法

英语中的形容词和副词有三个等级，即原级、比较级和高最级。比较级主要用于两者比较，最高级主要用于多者比较。注意：不能使用双重比较等级。即构成比较级时不能既加词尾-er，又在其前加more；构成最高级时不能既在词尾加-est，又在其前加most，如不能说more better, most earliest 等。不过“比较级+and+比较级”这样的形式却完全可用。如：I am getting fatter and fatter. 我越来越胖了。

◆典型陷阱题分析◆

1. How beautifully she sings! I have never heard _____ voice.

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

【答案】A.

【解析】容易误选D，认为最高级前要用定冠词。其实此题最佳答案为A，该句可视为…I have never heard a better voice

than her voice 之省略，全句句意为“她唱得多好啊！我从未听过她这么好的声音”。请再看以下类似的实例：

He is fine, never better. 他很好，比以往任何时候都好。

This bird is really lovely. I’ve never seen a finer one. 这只鸟真可爱，我从未见过这样好看的鸟。

2. Professor White has written some short stories, but he is _____ known for his plays.

A. the best B. more C. better D. the most

【答案】C.

【解析】容易误选D。此题首先不宜选B或D，因为 well known 的比较级和最高级通常是 better known和best known，有时也可以是 more well known 和 most well known，但通常不能是 more known 和 most known。至于是选A还是C，这就要看语境。由于句中涉及的只有 stories 和 plays 两个对象，故应选比较级。

3. You are _____ careful than your brother. You two can’t do the work that needs care and skill.
