【正文】 …注意基本上與no/not any more…than意思相反 She is no less beautiful than her D)just as… so… 正如……， ……也……（用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)） Just as the soil is a part of the earth, the atmosphere. [A] as it is [B] the same is [C] so is [D] and so is （答案為C） 2．最高級形式應(yīng)注意的問題： 1）最高級比較范圍用介詞in, over, of, among。這一點考生應(yīng)與漢語表達區(qū)別開來 如： all visible lights, red light has the longest and violet the shortest wavelength. [A] Among [B] Of [C]For [D]To 答案為[B] 2)比較級形式表示最高級意義時，比較對象的范圍應(yīng)用： any other +單數(shù)名詞 the other +復(fù)數(shù)名詞 the others anyone/anything else 上述詞是用業(yè)將比較級結(jié)構(gòu)轉(zhuǎn)變成最高級意義的關(guān)鍵詞語，切不可遺漏，尤其是other，否則會造成邏輯混亂的錯誤。 3）most可以用來修飾形容詞或副詞，意思相當于very，用法區(qū)分單復(fù)數(shù)，但不能用定冠詞the，如：a most interesting book, most expensive restaurants， 要注意與 “the +形容詞最高級＋of + 名詞”的結(jié)構(gòu)表示的最高級的區(qū)別，如： He spoke in the warmest of voices They have been most kind to me Basketball is the most popular of sports in this country. Chinese is the most difficult of language Chinese is a most difficult language 三．不用比較級和最高級的形容詞： 1）表示顏色的有：white, black 2）表示形態(tài)的有：round, square, oval, circular, triangular(三角形)，level 3)表示性質(zhì)和特征的有：atomic, economic, scientific, sonic, golden, silvery, woolen, earthen, silent, full, empty, sure, dead, deaf, blind, lame, rainy 4)表示狀態(tài)作表語的有：afraid, asleep, alive, ashamed, alone, aware, alike 5)表示時間、空間和方位的有：daily, weekly, monthly, annual, present, front, back, forward, backward, east, west, south, north, left, right, final 6)表示極限、主次、等級的有：maximum, minimum, utmost, main, major, chief minor, superior, inferior, senior, junior, super, favorite 7)含有絕對概念的有：absolute, entire, whole, total, perfect, excellent, thorough, plete. 四．平行結(jié)構(gòu)與比較級 平行結(jié)構(gòu)很多情況下是由形容詞或副詞的比較級或者暗含比較意味的連詞引導(dǎo)的。prefer…to…。but；or；both… and…；either…or…。如： It is better to die one’s feet than . [A]living on one’s knees [B]live on one’s knees [C]on one’s knees [D]to live on one’s knees (答案為D) Despite the temporary difficulties, the manager prefers increasing the output to decreasing it. 2．其他具有并列或比較意義的短語也可引導(dǎo)平行結(jié)構(gòu)。如： We are taught that a business letter should be written in a formal style in a personal style. [A]rather than [B]other than [C]better than [D]less than 答案為A For the new country to survive, for its people to enjoy prosperity, new economic policies will be required. [A] to name a few [B]let alone [C]not to speak [D]let’s say （答案為B） 2）如果平行的兩個成分在形式上是介詞短語，而且介詞相同，一般說來第二個介詞不要省略。如 Conversation calls for a willingness to alternate the role of speaker with that of listener, and it calls for occasional “digestive pauses” by role。the one指代帶定冠詞的單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞。 do代替動詞，注意數(shù)和時態(tài)的變化。 Each cigarette a person smokes does some harm, and eventually he may get a serious disease form its effect. 這里he指代前面的person。 Our department was monitored by two supervisors, Bill and me. 這里me必須用賓格形式。 Neither Mary nor Alice has her key with her. Neither the package nor the letters have reached their destination If either David or Janet es , he or she will want a drink 2．當no one, everyone, each,everybody, none ,anybody, someone, somebody用作主語或主語的限定詞時候,或者anything, nothing, something everything等不定代詞作主語時候，其相應(yīng)的代詞一般按照語法一致原則，采取單數(shù)形式。如： They each have two coats we are each responsible for his own family 4．由and連接兩個先行詞，代詞用復(fù)數(shù) 如：the tourist and businessmen lost their luggage in the accident （三） 主謂一致問題 主謂一致是指主語與謂語在數(shù)上要一致。解決主謂一致主要遵循三個原則： 語法一致原則 意義一致原則 就近一致原則 很多情況下應(yīng)該綜合利用這三個原則來處理主謂一致，在不同情況下可能應(yīng)用三個原則中的不同原則，具體應(yīng)用哪種原則應(yīng)該視具體情況而定。如： Buying clothes is often a timeconsuming job because those clothes that a person likes are rarely the cones that fit him or her. (1987年考研題) To understand the situation pletely requires more thought than has been given thus far. 2．表示時間、距離、金額、重量、面積、體積、容積等度量的名詞短語做主語時，謂語用單數(shù)。 4．表示學科和某些疾病名稱的名詞是復(fù)數(shù)形式，作主語時候謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式 Linguistics is a branch of study on human language. 5．有些名詞形式上是復(fù)數(shù)，意義上是單數(shù)，根據(jù)意義一致原則動詞用單數(shù) The chaos was stopped by the police The news is a great encouragement to us A series of debates between the lectures was scheduled for the next weekend. 6．用and 連接的成份表示一個單一概念時候，動詞謂語用單數(shù)形式 Bread and butter is our daily food Time and tide waits for no man 二． 謂語用復(fù)數(shù)情況 1． 由and, both …and, 連接的并列主語，和both ,a few, many ,several 等修飾語后面謂語動詞通常用復(fù)數(shù)形式。 neither…nor…。not only…but (also) 。如： Despite much research, there are still certain elements in the life cycle of the insect that are not fully understood. （1996年考研題） There are many valuable services which the public are willing to pay for, but which do not bring a return in money to the munity. （1990年考研題） 4．一些表示數(shù)量的短語與名詞連用時候，謂語動詞的數(shù)取決于名詞的數(shù)，名詞是復(fù)數(shù)，謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)，反之就用單數(shù)。 plenty of/heaps of。 twothird (threefourth…) of。 part of。 none of 等等 Twothirds of people present are women Lots of damage was caused by the fire 5．集體名詞作主語時，謂語動詞的數(shù)取決于主語表示的意思和數(shù)，當
