2． 比较级测试特点
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.
4． 自我测试
