2017托�？谡Z考試口語解析（五）

　　一、考查比較等級的基本用法　　1. Of the two sisters, Betty is _________ one, and she is also the one who loves to be quiet. (安徽卷)

　　A. a younger B. a youngest C. the younger D. the youngest

　　【解析】答案選C.根據(jù)句中的of the two sisters可知，此題涉及的是兩者比較，故用比較級;另外，由于是特指兩者中的一個，故其前用定冠詞，不用不定冠詞。

　　2. Of the two coats, I'd choose the _________ one to spare some money for a book. (四川卷)

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

　　【解析】答案選B.因是兩者比較，故用比較級，可將答案鎖定在B和C之間;再根據(jù)句意，排除C.

　　3. Speaking of all the songs he has written, I think this is probably his _________ one. (全國卷II)

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

　　【解析】答案選C.因為是從他所寫的所有歌中選出一首來比較，故用最高級。

　　二、在語境中考查比較等級的用法

　　1. I don't think this film is by far the most boring. I have seen _________. (江西卷)

　　A. better B. worse C. the best D. the worst

　　【解析】答案選B.既然前文說“這不是最最煩人的電影”，那么下文說的肯定就“還有更糟的”，故用worse.有意思的是，2006年的這道江西卷的考題與下面這道2004年的湖南卷極為相似：That doesn't sound very frightening. Paul, I've seen _________. What did you like most about the film? (湖南卷)

　　A. better B. worse C. best D. worst

　　由前句“這聽起來并不十分令人恐懼”可知，說話人曾見過比這個更令人恐懼的事，所以用比較級worse.

　　2. The new group of students is better-behaved than the other group who stayed here _________. (北京卷)

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

　　【解析】答案選B.做此題的關(guān)鍵詞是new，即把“新來的學(xué)生”與“早些時候呆在這兒的學(xué)生”進行比較。全句意為：新來的這群學(xué)生比早些時候呆在這兒的那些學(xué)生表現(xiàn)得更好些。

　　3. There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog. ” But there is _________ wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.” (湖南卷)

　　A. some B. much C. more D. most

　　【解析】答案選C.由于是將“Love me, love my dog”與“Love me, love my book”進行比較，故用比較級。此題的巧妙之處在于句中沒有出現(xiàn)than，而是給出兩個待比較的proverb. 4. With April 18's railway speedup, highway and air transport will have to compete with _________ service for passengers. (江蘇卷)

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

　　【解析】答案選B.句子大意為：由于鐵路提速了，所以公路和航空業(yè)要提高服務(wù)質(zhì)量來競爭客源。因?qū)ⅰ肮�路和航空”與“鐵路”比較，故用比較級。
