温馨提示:可返回原文
“比较级 + than + any other + 单数可数名词(+比较范围)”结构相当于“比较级+ than + the other +可数名词复数（+ in/of短语）”
知识点
2
New York is more _____ than any other city in the US.
表示“在同一范围中比其他任何一个……更……”用“比较级 + than + any other +单数名词(+比较范围)”句型。
e.g. He was slower than any other runner in the race!
他比比赛中的任何其他选手都要慢！
如果比较的人或物不在同一范围内，用“比较级 + than + any + 单数名词”。
e.g. The Changjiang River is longer than any river in India.
长江比印度的任何一条河流都长。
考题2：[雅安改编]如今，在中国茶比除了水之外的其他任何饮料都更受欢迎。
Nowadays, tea is more popular than any other ________ except water in China.
drink

形容词比较级 (一)
一、 一般句式的构成：主语 + be动词 + 形容词比较级 + than + 宾语
句型结构。当比较两个事物时，英语中要用到比较级的句型结构，其中标志词为 than，than 为介词，若其后跟动词，需变为动名词形式。
e.g. I like playing basketball more than watching TV.
相比看电视，我更喜欢打篮球。
考题1：[常州改编]表现出善良比接受它更有价值。
Showing kindness is more valuable than ___________ it.
receiving
二、形容词比较级的构成
构成方法 原级 比较级
单音节和部分双音节单词 一般在词尾加 -er tall small light high taller
smaller
lighter
higher
以字母 e结尾的形容词直接加 -r nice large wide nicer
larger
wider
构成方法 原级 比较级
单音节和部分双音节单词 以重读闭音节结尾的形容词，如末尾只有一个辅音字母，应先双写该字母，再加 -er big hot thin bigger
hotter
thinner
以“辅音字母 + y”结尾的形容词，先把y 变成 i，再加 -er busy easy early busier
easier
earlier
速记小法
比较级，很好记。
一般直接加 er，以 e 结尾只加 r。
遇到一元一辅重读闭音节，
末尾字母要双写: bigger、fatter、thinner 和 hotter。
辅音字母接 y 结尾，变 y 为 i 加 er。
考题2：[湘西] There’s no place _______ than my home. Do you agree with that
A. good B. better C. the best
【点拨】句意：没有比我家更好的地方了。你同意吗 考查比较级。根据“than”可知此处用比较级。
B
可用来修饰形容词比较级的单词或词组：
even, far, much, a lot, a great deal, a bit, a little等
考题3：[营口] ChatGPT can make a plan _______ than we do.
A. much quickly B. more quick
C. even quick D. far more quickly
D
比较级句式中的替代问题
[重点] 在比较级句式中，为了避免重复，经常用that 或those 代替前面出现的名词。如：
that 代替可数名词单数或不可数名词 The weather in Jilin is colder than that in Beijing. 吉林的天气比北京冷。
those 代替复数名词 Huahua’s legs are much shorter than those of other pandas. 花花的腿比其他熊猫的腿要短得多。
考题4：The population of China is much larger than ________ of Canada.
that
五、原级有相同也有倍数
考向I： 当比较的对象A 与 B 情况对比相同时，要使用以下结构：
主语+ 系动词/ 谓语+ as + 形容词/ 副词原级+ as + 其他..
e.g. He can sing as well as you.
他和你唱得一样好。
考题5：[大连] Nowadays traveling by high-speed train is as _______ as traveling by air in China.
A. popular B. more popular
C. most popular D. the most popular
A
考向II：原级结构中可插入表达倍数的词，表示“……若干倍”，当与表示倍数的词在一起时，它们的位置是“倍数词+ as... as...”。
e.g. This river is twice as long as that one.
这条河的长度是那条河的两倍。
