第三课时 单元语法专题（Grammar Focus－4c）
语法精讲
形容词和副词的比较级和最高级
1.比较级的用法
（1）“形容词的比较级＋than＋比较对象”。前后相比较的两个事物一定要属于同类，而且做比较时，一定要避免自身与自身相比。
例：Mary， your brother is taller than before.玛丽，你哥哥比以前高了。
（2）“比较级＋than any other＋单数名词”表示“（一定范围内）……比任何人（事、物）都……”。
例：He is taller than any other student in his class.他比班上任何一个学生都高。
（3）“as...as...”意为“与……一样……”，其否定形式为“not so/as...as...”，意为“……不及/不如……”。它们也是一种表达比较的形式，注意 as与 as之间要用形容词或副词的原级。
Why can’t you do your homework as carefully as your brother？为什么你不能像你哥哥一样认真地写作业呢？
My room is not so big as my brother’s.我的房间没有我哥哥的那么大。
（4）“the＋比较级...，the＋比较级...”表示“越……越……”。
例：The more you read，the more you know.你读书越多，你知道的就越多。
（5）“比较级＋and＋比较级”表示“越来越……”。
例：Our city is more and more beautiful.我们的城市越来越漂亮了。
【注意】当比较级后有“of the two...”之类的短语时，比较级前要加定冠词the。
（6）在选择疑问句中，常用句型：Which/When/Who＋be＋形容词比较级，A or B？
2.最高级的用法
（1）“主语＋be＋the＋形容词最高级＋in/of＋范围”表示“在某范围内……最……”。
（2）“one of the＋形容词最高级＋可数名词复数”表示“最……的……之一”。
（3）“the＋序数词（除了first）＋形容词最高级＋可数名词单数”表示“第几（大、长等）……”。
例：The Yellow River is the second longest river in China.黄河是中国的第二长河。
（4）在选择疑问句中，常用句型：Which/Who＋be＋the＋形容词最高级，A，B or C？
【注意】①形容词最高级前通常要加定冠词the。但前面若有物主代词、指示代词或名词所有格等修饰时，不能用定冠词 the。②形容词最高级常与介词in或of引导的短语连用，与in连用意为“在……内”，表示 “在某范围内”，不一定是同类；与of连用表示属性，of后的名词或代词与句中的主语是同一类人或物，意为“在某一类中”。
3.可修饰比较级的前置词
当表示一方超过一方的“程度”时，可以用much， a lot， a little， a bit， even， far等来修饰形容词或副词的比较级。
例：This year I have ten subjects.I decide to work much harder.今年我有十门课。我决定更加努力地学习。

第三课时 单元语法专题（Grammar Focus－4c）
语法精讲
形容词和副词的比较级和最高级
1.比较级的用法
（1）“形容词的比较级＋than＋比较对象”。前后相比较的两个事物一定要属于同类，而且做比较时，一定要避免自身与自身相比。
例：Mary， your brother is taller than before.玛丽，你哥哥比以前高了。
（2）“比较级＋than any other＋单数名词”表示“（一定范围内）……比任何人（事、物）都……”。
例：He is taller than any other student in his class.他比班上任何一个学生都高。
（3）“as...as...”意为“与……一样……”，其否定形式为“not so/as...as...”，意为“……不及/不如……”。它们也是一种表达比较的形式，注意 as与 as之间要用形容词或副词的原级。
Why can’t you do your homework as carefully as your brother？为什么你不能像你哥哥一样认真地写作业呢？
My room is not so big as my brother’s.我的房间没有我哥哥的那么大。
（4）“the＋比较级...，the＋比较级...”表示“越……越……”。
例：The more you read，the more you know.你读书越多，你知道的就越多。
（5）“比较级＋and＋比较级”表示“越来越……”。
例：Our city is more and more beautiful.我们的城市越来越漂亮了。
【注意】当比较级后有“of the two...”之类的短语时，比较级前要加定冠词the。
（6）在选择疑问句中，常用句型：Which/When/Who＋be＋形容词比较级，A or B？
2.最高级的用法
（1）“主语＋be＋the＋形容词最高级＋in/of＋范围”表示“在某范围内……最……”。
（2）“one of the＋形容词最高级＋可数名词复数”表示“最……的……之一”。
（3）“the＋序数词（除了first）＋形容词最高级＋可数名词单数”表示“第几（大、长等）……”。
例：The Yellow River is the second longest river in China.黄河是中国的第二长河。
（4）在选择疑问句中，常用句型：Which/Who＋be＋the＋形容词最高级，A，B or C？
【注意】①形容词最高级前通常要加定冠词the。但前面若有物主代词、指示代词或名词所有格等修饰时，不能用定冠词 the。②形容词最高级常与介词in或of引导的短语连用，与in连用意为“在……内”，表示 “在某范围内”，不一定是同类；与of连用表示属性，of后的名词或代词与句中的主语是同一类人或物，意为“在某一类中”。
3.可修饰比较级的前置词
当表示一方超过一方的“程度”时，可以用much， a lot， a little， a bit， even， far等来修饰形容词或副词的比较级。
例：This year I have ten subjects.I decide to work much harder.今年我有十门课。我决定更加努力地学习。

On the other hand， this great peak is for professional climbers only.Here， no commercial（商业的） climbing organization will provide you with any services， and even top-class climbers will choose their climbing partners with a particularly eagle（鹰） eye.The leader of a Japanese K2 team said when organizing his team in 1982， “We are professional climbers， and we all know that if we run into trouble at a height of 8，000 meters on K2， it is impossible to get help.If you do not have the confidence and determination（决心） to face possible trouble， you should not go！”
This is Chogori！ In the eyes of the top-class climbers， it is the most beautiful peak， and it is the danger that attracts them.
