答案讲解(1)

1. D. than是解题的关键词，即有than必用比较级。

2. B. 由five可知要用最高级，最高级前面用the。

3. C. 句意为“我遗憾地告诉你，她的英语不如你的好”。

4. D. 在as…as中，第一个as是副词，后面一定是先接形容词，再接名词，即：as +adj. +n. +as，故选D。

5. B. 由not in the least(一点也不满意)可知，“再也没有做得(比他的)更差的了”。

6. C. 考查倍数表达法：①倍数+as…as…②倍数+比较级+than…③倍数+the+名词(size, length, width, height等)+of…。选项中more than是最大的干扰项，more than twice(=over twice)意为“两倍多”。

7. B. so interesting a book =such an interesting book请注意冠词的位置。

8. A. 根据后面的标点“!”，可排除B和D；注意：how astonishing a sight=what an astonishing sight.

9. A. 词序题。副词abroad只能放在所修饰的名词后面，排除C和D。又根据“限定语(冠词、指示代词、物主代词、序数词、基数词、few, less, several等某些量词)+形容词(描绘、大小、形状、年龄新旧、颜色、国籍或产地、物质材料、用途)+名词”可排除B，因为限定词few应放在形容词happy之前(from www.yygrammar.com)。

10. B. though既可作连词，可与although可互换；也可作副词，位于句子末尾，此时，不能用although。yet也可表示“但是”，但不位于句末。anyway=anyhow意为“无论如何、不管怎样”。

11. D. else常放在疑问词(如what, who, how等)或者复合不定代词(如someone, nothing, everybody等)后面；其所有格总是else’s。又如：That must be somebody else’s coat; it isn’t mine.

12. D. 本题中的in time不是“及时”之意，而是“迟早、终究(=sooner or later)”之意。

13. B. once in a while(=occasionally偶尔)与as a rule(=usually, in most cases通常、在多数情况下)相对。

14. C. 因为否定词can’t与比较级连用，表示最高级含义。

15. A. 因为mostly“多半 (是)”；almost“几乎、差不多”；at most“至多”。

答案讲解(2)

16. D. 因为指 “(两者中)较…的那一个”，用“the +比较级”。

17. C. 因为只有before lone (=soon不久以后、很快) 才与将来时连用。

18. A. 因为live作“现场直播”解，可作形容词也可作副词，在此题中是副词；live， alive, living均可作形容词“活着的”解，live只能在动物前作定语，alive可作后置定语、表语或补语，living多作前置定语、表语。lively也是形容词，意为“生动的”。

19. D. 因为指双边关系进展，当然用“顺利”smoothly。Peacefully和平地、安宁地；highly高度地、非常；quietly平静地、寂静地(from www.yygrammar.com)。

20. A. 因为likely是形容词，意为“可能的”，在句中作表语。easily和nearly是副词；虽然lonely(寂寞的)是形容词，但其意义与句意不通。

21. D. 因为只有be worth后才可接宾语。reasonable价格合理的；valuable有价值的或有用的；fit适合的。22. D. tight紧的。

23. A. 因为只有quite才可以放在冠词前面。

24. C. 因为只有regularly(经常地)才与now and then(偶尔)相对。

25. C. 表示“(两者中)较…的那一个”用“the+比较级”，排除A和B。far只能紧靠在所修饰的比较级之前，by far一般放在比较级之后，若有冠词时，要放在冠词之前或比较级之后。

26. C. merely只是。其它选项意义不通(from www.yygrammar.com)。

27. A. 因为It couldn’t be any worse. 意为“(他的工作做得)非常差”，与后文内容相符。

28. D. 因为too修饰形容词或副词，far是用来加强too的语气的。而much除与比较级最高级连用外，一般是非修饰作形容词的过去分词及afraid, alive等。

29. A. 因为too…to do sth. (太…以至于不能做…) 是固定搭配(from www.yygrammar.com)。

30. B. 句意是：由于她的儿子令有失望，她感到非常烦恼。表示“令人…的”用-ing分词，表示“感到…的”用-ed分词。
