●答案解析
1.答案:A
解析:as long as表示時(shí)間長(zhǎng)度.for as long as an hour一小時(shí).
2.答案:B
解析:has brains有頭腦;有智慧.anyone in the class與Boris相比較,要用比較級(jí).當(dāng)比較級(jí)后有名詞時(shí),要加冠詞.the higher IQ(兩人中)比較高的智商,不能作為答案.
3.答案:D
解析:more than twice表示數(shù)量,放在as … as結(jié)構(gòu)前,是……的兩倍多.美國(guó)人現(xiàn)在每人所吃的蔬菜是1910年的兩倍多.
4.答案:D
解析:在as (so)…as…中,第一個(gè)as (so)是副詞,后接形容詞;第二個(gè)as是連接詞,后接句子.正確的語(yǔ)序是as much an art as.人們普遍相信,教學(xué)像科學(xué)一樣是一門藝術(shù).
5.答案:A
解析:more更多的罐裝食物.許多人得益于罐裝食物,然而,糧庫(kù)需要更多的罐裝食物提供給窮人.
6.答案:B
解析:other than除了.那樣的話,你除了等待之外無(wú)事可做.
7.答案:B
解析:too near太近了,說(shuō)話人的意圖是讓對(duì)方站的比這遠(yuǎn)一點(diǎn),要用副詞的比較級(jí).
8.答案:D
解析:the largest island in the world 作Greenland的同位語(yǔ).有些考生把這個(gè)句子理解成了定語(yǔ)從句,誤選了選項(xiàng)B.如果這是非限制性定語(yǔ)從句,必須用關(guān)系代詞which引導(dǎo),而不用that.
9.答案:C
解析:導(dǎo)演給我提供的條件要比他給Dick提供的好.比較的是導(dǎo)演所提供的條件,答案是he gave Dick.其他選項(xiàng)中的Dick', that of Dick's 和those of Dick都表示Dick的條件或他所提供的條件,不能作為答案.
10.答案:A
解析:more than多于.去年夏天我們貼了招生廣告,招收了60多個(gè)學(xué)生.as much as用于不可數(shù)名詞;so many as用于否定句中,都不能作為答案.
11.答案:D
解析:"不定冠詞a + 形容詞比較級(jí) + 名詞"表示泛指.她唱得多么優(yōu)美啊!我從來(lái)沒(méi)聽到過(guò)比她好的嗓音了.
12.答案:D
解析:在兩者中選擇用形容詞的比較級(jí);在三者中選擇用最高級(jí).between the two表示在兩者中選擇,要用比較級(jí).因?yàn)楹蠼用~choice,要在比較級(jí)前加定冠詞the.
13.答案:B
解析:由于在空白處和David之間加入了插入語(yǔ) if not better than,使題目的難度增加.如果把插入語(yǔ)去掉,答案就十分明顯了.so well as 只能用于否定句中.
14.答案:A
解析:of the two shirts,表示兩件襯衫在比較不太貴的那件要用形容詞的比較級(jí).因?yàn)楹蠼哟~one,要在比較級(jí)前加定冠詞the.
