【实例解析】
1. (2004年北京市中考试题)
-Which is ________, the sun, the moon or the earth?
-Of course the moon is.
A. small B. smaller C. smallest D. the smallest
答案:D。该题考查的是形容词的比较等级的用法。因为是太阳,地球和月亮三者进行比较,选用形容词的最高级,而且最高级之前要加定冠词the。所以选D。
2. (2004年上海徐汇区中考试题)
He has made _______ progress this term than before.
A. little B. less C. fewer D. much
答案 B。该题考查的是形容词比较等级的用法。因为是现在和过去进行比较,所以要用比较级,又因为是修饰不可数名词,只能用less, 而不能用fewer。
3. (2004年江西省中考试题)
-What delicious cakes!
-They would taste _______ with butter.
A. good B. better C. bad D. worse
答案:B。该题考查的是形容词的比较等级。答话人的意思应该是“如果加上点黄油,这些蛋糕会更好吃。”这里就有一种比较:加黄油和不加黄油。既然是比较,就要用比较级。因为这里讲的是好吃和更好吃,所以C,D要舍去,而选better。
4. (2004年河北省中考试题)
Bob never does his homework ________ Mary. He makes lots of mistakes.
A. so careful as B. as carefully as C. carefully as D. as careful as
答案:B。该题考查的是形容词和副词的用法区别。因为该词修饰的是动作“做家庭作业”,所以要用副词。又因为表示一方不如另一方要用句型“not as+副词原级+as”,所以只能选B。
