2012届新课标高三第二轮专题讲解
形容词和副词是历年英语高考的重点。要复习好这一块知识点，考生不仅要掌握其基础知识，同时要牢记其中的重点和难点，也是高考的热点。
1.形容词是用来修饰名词的，常被放在名词前作定语，或放在系动词后面作表语。而副词则用来修饰形容词、动词，其他副词或者句子，一般位于形容词之前，动词之后或句子之首。以下属几种情况，须牢记：
①几个并列的形容词作定语，其语序通常为：
限定语（the/a/an）+ 描绘性形容词 + size（大小）+ shape（形状）+ age（年龄、时间）+ color（颜色）+origin（国籍、来源）+material（材料）+ purpose（目的）+名词；
a heavy black Chinese steel umbrella,
the man’s first tow interesting little red French oil paintings
熟记口诀就可以顺利解题：限定描绘大长高，形状年龄和新老，颜色国籍跟材料，作用类别往后靠。
②形容词短语作定语，定语后置；
a language difficult to master,
a leaning tower about 180 feet high
This is a student worth of praise.
They will turn their motherland into a country, beautiful and modern.
③表语形容词（afraid、alike、alone、asleep、awake、alive等）作定语，定语后置；
a man alive：活着的人
有些表身体健康状况的形容词如well, faint, ill只作表语。sick既可作表语又可作定语，ill如作定语意为“bad”；
④形容词作定语修饰由不定代词one, no, any, some和every构成的复合词如anything、something等时，通常后置；
I have something important to tell you.
⑤enough、nearby修饰名词前置或后置，程度副词一般位于形容词、副词前面，enough修饰形容词、副词时，必须后置；
⑥else常用作疑问代词和不定代词的后置定语；
⑦几个副词并列作状语时，其顺序较灵活，但一般是：方式→地点→时间；
⑧频度副词如often, always, usually等在be动词后，行为动词前；
⑨副词作定语，定语后置；
The person there is waiting for you.
⑩复合形容词常用作定语。
He was a 12-year-old boy.
复合形容词的构成：
▲形容词+形容词：red-hot炽热的 dark-blue深蓝的
▲形容词+现在分词：good-looking好看的 easy-going随和的
▲副词+现在分词：hard-working勤劳的 fast-moving快速转动的
▲副词+过去分词：hard-won得来不易的 newly-made新建的
▲名词+形容词：life-long终生的 world-famous世界闻名的
▲名词+现在分词：peace-loving爱好和平的 fun-loving爱开玩笑的
▲名词+过去分词：snow-covered白雪覆盖的 hand-made手工的
▲形容词+名词-ed：kind-hearted好心的 white-haired白发的
▲数词+名词 + ed：four-storeyed 4层楼的 three-legged 3条腿的
▲数词+名词（名词用单数）：ten-year 10年的 two-man两人的
2.形容词作伴随状语和原因状语
He spent 7days in the wind and snow, cold and hungry.他在风雪中度过了7天，又冷又饿。
She stared into the distance, speechless for a long time.她盯着远处看，好长时间不讲话。
Afraid of being caught, the thief hid himself under a bed.因为害怕被抓，这个小偷藏在床下面。
象get, grow, become, feel, appear, prove, look, keep, smell, taste, sound, go, turn, remain等这些动词既可以用作为实义动词又可以用作连系动词，因而要根据上下文语境判断究竟是什么性质的动动词才能正确解题。
玛丽悲伤地看了看父母亲而她的父母亲看上去也很悲伤。
Mary looked sadly at her parents while her parents looked sad, too.（第一个“look”为实义动词，第二个 “look” 为连系动词）
形容词、副词有三个等级：原级、比较级和最高级，其构成形式如下：
规则变化：单音节词和少数双音节词，加词尾-er，-est来构成比较级和最高级
构成法 原级 比较级 最高级
一般单音节词未尾加-er, -est tall taller tallest
以不发音的e结尾的单音词和少数以-le结尾的双音节词只加-r,-st nice nicer nicest
以一个辅音字母结尾的闭音节单音节词，双写结尾的辅音字母，再加-er,-est big bigger biggest
"以辅音字母+y"结尾的双音节词，改y为i，再加-er，-est busy busier busiest
少数以-er,-ow结尾的双音节词未尾加-er,-est clevernarrow cleverernarrower cleverestnarrowest
其他双音节词和多音节词，在前面加more，most来构成比较级和最高级 importanteasily more importantmore easily most importantmost easily
不规则变化
原级 比较级 最高级
good/well better best
bad/ill worse worst
old older/elder oldest/eldest
much/many more most
little less least
far farther/further farthest/furthest
注意：many, old和far比较级及最高级用法的区别
①如果后接名词时，much more +不可数名词，many more +可数名词复数。
②old有两种比较级和最高级形式: older/oldest 和elder/eldest。elder，eldest只用于兄弟姐妹的长幼关系。
My elder brother is an engineer.
Mary is the eldest of the three sisters.
③far有两种比较级，farther，further..在英语中两者都可指距离。
在美语中，father表示距离，further表示进一步
I have nothing further to say.
1.原级的用法
表示双方在程度、性质、特征等某方面相等时，用“as+原级形容词/副词+ as”的结构；表示双方不相等时，用“not so(as)+原级形容词/副词+ as”的结构；表示一方是另一方的若干倍时，用“倍数+ as+原级形容词/副词+ as”的结构。
Xiao Wang is as tall as Xiao Yu.
This building looks not so (as)high as that one.
Miss Xu speaks English as fluently as you .
This room is three times as large as that one.
2.比较级的用法
①双方比较，表示一方超过另一方时，用“比较级+than”的结构表示；
This picture is more beautiful than that one.
注意：
▲比较对象的一致性
请看下面这道选择题：
The weather in China is different from__ __.
A. in America B. one in America C. America D. that in America
本题意为"中国的天气比美国热。"比较的是天气而不是国家，C不能选。A没有名词，后句成分不全，排除。B和D中，B中的one常用来代替可数名词，而that可车以代替不可数或抽象名词，所以选D。
▲要避免将主语包含在比较对象中
（错）China is larger than any country in Asia.（因为中国也属于亚洲）
（对）China is larger than any other countries in Asia.
▲注意比较对象的省略或隐藏：有时省略或不点明被比较的对象，而是通过语境来暗示被比较的对象。
请看下面这两道选择题：
If there were no examinations, we should have ___ at school.
A. the happiest time B. a more happier time C. much happiest time D. a much happier time
本题将比较的对象隐藏在虚拟条件句中，即：与没有考试的时候相比。本题答案选D。
I don’t think this film is by far the most boring.I have seen____________.
A. better B. worse C. the best D. the worst
由前文“我认为这部电影不是最没趣的”可知，“我看过(比这部)更差的电影”，省略了than this one。本题答案是B。
It takes a long time to go there by train; it's ________by road.
A. quick B. the quickest C. much quick D. quicker
由语境可知，句末省略了than by train，用比较级。本题答案是D。
②表示一方不及另一方时，用“less+原级+than”的结构表示；
This room is less beautiful than that one.
③表示一方超过另一方的程度或数量时，可在比较级前加表示程度的状语，如even, a lot, a bit, a little, still, much, far, yet, by far等修饰；
He works even harder than before.
注意：by far通常用于强调最高级。用于比较级时，一般放在比较级的后面，如在前面，应在二者中
间加“the”。
He is taller by far than his brother.
He is by far the taller of the two brothers.
④表示一方随另一方的程度而变化时，用“the +比较级（主语+谓语），the +比较级（主语+谓语）”
的结构（意为“越……越……”）；
The harder he works, the happier he feels.
⑤不与其他事物相比，表示本身程度的改变时，用“比较级+ and+比较级”的结构；
The weather is getting colder and colder.
The girl becomes more and more beautiful.
⑥某些以-ior结尾的形容词进行比较时，用to代替than。这些词有inferior（劣等的，次的）、superior（较
好的，优于……）、junior（资历较浅的）、senior（资格较老的）、prior（在……之前）等；
He is superior to Mr. Zhang in chemistry.
⑦在比较从句中为了避免重复，我们通常用that(those)、one(ones)代替前面出现的名词。that指物,one既可指人又可指物。that可代替可数名词单数和不可数名词，而one只能代替可数名词；
The book on the table is more interesting than that(或the one)on the desk.
A box made of steel is stronger than one made of wood.
⑧否定词+比较级
该结构用否定形式表示肯定意义。要掌握该结构的用法，须注意以下几点：
▲该结构多为“can't ／couldn't ＋比较级”的形式
I can't agree with you more.我再同意你的意见不过了。（或：我完全同意你的意见。）
The weather couldn't be worse.天气再糟糕不过了。
He couldn't have done better.他做得再好不过了。
▲用于该结构中的否定词除了not之外，还有no，never，nothing等
This could give her no greater pleasure.这使她再高兴不过了。
There's nothing cheaper.这东西再便宜不过了。
There is no greater love than that of a man who lays down his life for his friends.
为朋友而放弃生命的爱是最伟大的爱。
▲当该结构中的比较级为less时，其意义为“一点也不”
试比较：He couldn't care more.他非常介意。（或：他最关心不过了。）
He couldn't care less.他毫不介意。（或：他最漠不关心了。）
注意：反过来用肯定形式表示否定意义。这种用法主要见于：
▲know better than+不定式。这种结构意为“不至于”
You have a better command of French than to make such mistakes.
你的法语较好，不至于犯这样的错误。
He is more experienced than to do such a thing.
他比较有经验，不至于做这样的事。
▲more than…can。这种句型形式上是肯定，实际上有否定含义
The boys in the street have become very insolent and it is more than flesh and blood can bear.
街上的男孩变得非常无礼,到了人所不能忍受的地步。
The beauty of the place is more than I can describe.
那地方美得无法形容。
⑨倍数表达法
▲A is three(four, etc.)times the size(height, length etc.)of B.
The new building is four times the size(the height)of the old one.
这座新楼是那座旧楼的四倍大（高）/这座新楼比那座旧楼大（高）三倍。
▲A is three(four, etc.)times as big(high, long, etc.)as B.
Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亚洲是欧洲的四倍大/亚洲比欧洲大三倍。
▲A is three (four, etc.)times bigger(higher, longer, etc.)than B.
Your school is three times bigger than ours.你们的学校比我们的学校大三倍。
用times表倍数通常用于三倍以上，两倍可以用twice或double.
3.最高级的用法
①三者或三者以上相比，表示最高程度时，用“the +最高级”的结构表示。这种句式一般常有表示比
较范围的介词短语；
Zhang Hua is the tallest of the three.
He works(the)hardest in his class.
②最高级可被序数词以及much、by far、nearly、almost 、by no means、not quite、not really、nothing like
等词语所修饰；
This hat is by far / much / nearly / almost / not nearly / by no means / not quite / nothing like the biggest.
③表示“最高程度”的形容词，如excellent、extreme、perfect等，没有最高级，也没有比较级。
④形容词最高级修饰作表语或介词宾语的名词、代词时，被修饰的词往往省略；
He is the tallest(boy)in his class.
⑤作状语的副词最高级前可以不加定冠词。
Of all the boys he came(the)earliest.
4.形容词和副词前面使用冠词的情况
①形容词最高级前一般要加定冠词，副词最高级前可不加冠词；
②形容词最高级前有时加不定冠词，或不加冠词，不表比较，表示“非常”；
He is a most clever young policeman.(most=very)
The film is most interesting.(most=very)
③as+形容词+a+单数名词；
This is as good an example as the other is.
④表示两者间“较……的一个”比较级前加the；
who is the older of the tow boys
⑤在“the + 比较级……，the + 比较级……”结构中；
⑥在same前一般要加the；
⑦What +a/an+形容词+单数可数名词=How+形容词+ a/an+单数可数名词
What an interesting film it is！=How interesting a film it is!
⑧so和such的用法
so + 形容词 / 副词 + that …
so + 形容词 + a（n）+ 单数可数名词 + that …
so + many / much / little / few + 名词 + that …
such + a(n)+ 形容词+单数可数名词 + that …
such + 形容词 + 不可数名词 + that …
such + 形容词 + 复数名词 + that …
下列词组中为什么只能用so不可用such？
so much progress、so many people、so little food、so few apples等。
因为名词受many, much, little, few等表示“多或少”意义的词修饰。
下列这句中such用得对不对？（对）。为什么？
These are such little boys that they can’t dress themselves.
因为little在这儿表示“小”，而不是表示“少”的意思。
下列so的用法是错误的：so difficult problems, so hot weather
为什么？因为problems是复数，weather是不可数名词。
⑧有些形容词前加the 成为名词。如the poor, the rich 等。
5.由as/so组成的形容词或副词短语
①as much as +不可数名词：多达
Each stone weighs as much as fifteen tons.
②as many as +可数名词：多达
I have as a many as sixteen reference books.
③as early as：早在
As early as the twelfth century the English began to invade the island.
④as far as：远到；就……而知（论）
We might go as far as (走到)the church and back.
As far as I know（就我所知），he has been there before.
⑤may (might, could)as well：不妨、不如
Then you might as well stay with us here.
⑥as … as can be：到了最……的程度，极其
They are as unreliable as they can be.他们极其不可信。
⑦as … as one can：尽其所能
He began to run, as fast as he could.
⑧as … as possible：尽可能
Just get them to finish up as quickly as possible.

2.有无ly的副词意义、用法有别

请看下列选择题：
①Progress so far has been very good. _______, we are sure that the project will be completed on time.

【解析】“一直进展良好”与“按时完工”是因果关系，用therefore。答案是C。
②The hurricane damaged many houses and business buildings;_____ , it caused 20 deaths.
A. or else B. therefore C. after all D. besides
【解析】由前后语境不难确定，是要表示“此外，还有，而且”，用besides。其它选项不合语境：or so大约；therefore因此；after all毕竟。答案是D。
③Much of the power of the trade unions has been lost. _ , their political influence should be very great.
A. As a result B. As usual C. Even so D. So far
【解析】由前后的语意逻辑可知，所填之词应是表示“即使如此”之意，用even so。句意：工会已经失去很多权力了；即使这样，他们的政治影响还应当还是很大的。答案是C。
6.too much和much too的区别
①too much有下列用法
too much的含义是“太多”，充当形容词用时，too是副词，用来修饰much，后接不可数名词。
I have too much homework to do.我有太多的家庭作业要做。
too much充当副词用时，可用来修饰动词
Watching TV too much is bad for your health.看电视看得太多对你的健康有害。
too much充当代词用时，后面不接名词，代替上下文提到的事物。
You gave me too much.你给我的太多了。
②much too意为“太”，much(副词)用来修饰too(副词)，以加强语气，只可起副词作用，在句中修饰形容词或副词。
It’s much too expensive.太贵了。
You walk(much)too far yesterday.昨天你散步走得太远了。
It’s much too cold.
7.too…to结构表达的不同意义
①“too＋形容词／副词＋动词不定式”结构简称为“too...to”结构。这种结构是英语中常用的一种句型，在大多数情况下表示否定意义，在翻译时，通常可译为“太……而不能……”、“太……无法……”。
English is too difficult for me to learn well.英语太难，我学不好。
The hat is too large to wear.这帽子太大，没法戴。
②“too...to”不表示否定意义的情况：too...to结构之前带有but, only, all, never, not时，是强调肯定的表示法，译作”非常……、十分……、实在……、真是太……”等；“too...to”结构中带有表示某种心情或描绘性的形容词或副词，如ready, eager, satisfied, kind, willing, easy, anxious等加动词不定式结合成一个不可分割的状态、态度、倾向或心情等。
I am but too glad to do so.我非常喜欢这样做。
Comrade Lei Feng was too ready to help others.雷锋同志乐于助人。
①We don’t care if a hunting dog smells_ ,but we really don’t want him to smell____.
A. well, well B. bad, bad C. well, badly D. badly, bad
【解析】答案为D。第一个“smell”是“嗅觉”的意思，实义动词，第二个“smell”是“闻起来”的意思，是连系动词，因而答案为D。整个句子的意思是：我们不在乎猎狗嗅觉灵不灵，但是我们确实不想让它闻起来有臭味（发出臭味）。
②After the long journey, the three of them went back home, _____ .
A. hungry and tiredly B. hungry and tired C. hungrily and tiredly D. hungrily and tired
【解析】答案为B。为由句式结构看，空格处应作为状语使用，四个选项中均使用了并列连词“and”，故“and”前后的词性应该一致，且英语中形容词或形容词短语可作为状语使用，表示主语的状态。句意：长途旅行后他们三人回家了，又累又饿。
③Although she did not know Boston well, she made her way ______ to the Home Circle Building.
A. easy enough B. enough easy C. easily enough D. enough easily
【解析】答案为C。因“make one’s way to”是固定词组，意为“前往”，修饰动词“made”要用副词，排除选项A和B；副词“enough”修饰形容词或副词，要后置，故排除D项。
④______to take this adventure course will certainly learn a lot of useful skills.
A. Brave enough students B. Enough brave students
C. Students brave enough D. Students enough brave
【解析】答案为C。“enough”修饰形容词要后置，排除选项B和D；“brave enough”与后面的不定式构成形容词短语作定语，要放在所修饰的名词“students”后，故排除A项。
⑤John Smith, a successful businessman, has a ______car.
A. large German white B. large white German
C. white large German D. German large white
【解析】答案为B。large是“大小”，German是“产地”，white是“颜色”；其排列顺序应当是“大小+颜色+产地”。
⑥______students are required to take part in the boat race.
A. Ten strong young Chinese B. Ten Chinese strong young
C. Chinese ten young strong D. Young strong ten Chinese
【解析】答案为A。根据“限定词+形容词+名词”，数词属于限定词，选出A和B来；再根据“描绘（strong）+（长幼young）+国籍（Chinese）”选出正确答案。
①He speaks English well indeed, but of course not ______a native speaker.
A. as fluent as B. more fluent than C. so fluently as D. much fluently than
【解析】答案为C。修饰动词“speak”时要用副词，排除A和B选项；又因“than”前必须是比较级，故排除D选项。
②It is to spend money on preventing illnesses by promoting healthy living
rather than spending it trying to make people after they are ill.
A. good; good B. well; better C. better; better D. better; good
【解析】答案为C。由句意“把钱花在改善生活环境以预防疾病上，要比在人们生病之后，把钱花在让他们痊愈上好。”可知，两处空白均表示两者的比较，故用比较级。
③—Did you take enough money with you
—No, I needed I thought I would.
A. not so much as B. as much as C. much more than D. much less than
【解析】答案为C。由答语中“No”可知“我没有带足够的钱”，因此“我需要比我原来想带的更多的钱”。
④I like this jacket better than that one，but it costs almost three times_____ .
A. as much B. as many C. so much D. so many
【解析】答案为C。考查倍数的表示方法。空白处补充完整为“as much as that one costs”。
⑤A rough estimate, Nigeria is __________ Great Britain.
A. three times the size as B. the size three times of
C. three times as the size of D. three times the size of
【解析】答案为D。倍数比较的常见句型“A is three（four, etc.）times the size（height, length etc.）of B”。句意：初略估计，尼日利亚国土面积是英国的三倍。
⑥It looks like the weather is changing for ______ . Shall we stick to our plan
A. the worse B. worse C. the worst D. worst
【解析】答案为A。隐含着将现在的天气与将来的天气进行比较。“the worse”后面省略了“weather”意为“天气变坏或恶化”。句意：看上去好像天气在变坏。我们还要不要坚持我们的计划？
⑦I don’t think this film is by far the most boring. I have seen______.
A. better B. worse C. the best D. the worst
【解析】答案为B。由前文“我认为这部电影不是最没趣的”可知，“我看过（比这部）更差的电影”，省略了“than this one”。
①Your story is perfect; I’ve never heard before.
A. the better one B. the best one C. a better one D. a good one
【解析】答案为C。比较级用于否定句中表示最高级的意义。句意是“你的故事非常完美。我以前从没听说过比这更好的故事。”
②—Did you enjoy yourself at the party
—Yes，I’ve never been to one before.
A. a more excited B. the most excited C. a more exciting D. the most exciting
【解析】答案为C。见上面的解析。句意：我以前从未参加过比这个更激动人心的晚会。
③David has won the first prize in singing; he is still very excited now and feels_____ desire to go to bed.
A. the most B. more C. worse D. the least
【解析】答案为D。因为feel the least desire to go to bed意为“完全不/一点也不想去睡觉”与前文的“他现在还非常兴奋”的语意一致。
④I used to earn _______than a pound a week when I first started work.
A. a little B. a few C. fewer D. less
【解析】答案为D。由“than”可知前面必须要用比较级，排除选项A和B；又由语境可知是“不到一英镑”而不是“比一英镑还少几个”，所以应当用“less（than）”意为“少于”。

形容词和副词是历年英语高考的重点。要复习好这一块知识点，考生不仅要掌握其基础知识，同时要牢记其中的重点和难点，也是高考的热点。
1.形容词是用来修饰名词的，常被放在名词前作定语，或放在系动词后面作表语。而副词则用来修饰形容词、动词，其他副词或者句子，一般位于形容词之前，动词之后或句子之首。以下属几种情况，须牢记：
①几个并列的形容词作定语，其语序通常为：
限定语（the/a/an）+ 描绘性形容词 + size（大小）+ shape（形状）+ age（年龄、时间）+ color（颜色）+origin（国籍、来源）+material（材料）+ purpose（目的）+名词；
a heavy black Chinese steel umbrella,
the man’s first tow interesting little red French oil paintings
熟记口诀就可以顺利解题：限定描绘大长高，形状年龄和新老，颜色国籍跟材料，作用类别往后靠。
②形容词短语作定语，定语后置；
a language difficult to master,
a leaning tower about 180 feet high
This is a student worth of praise.
They will turn their motherland into a country, beautiful and modern.
③表语形容词（afraid、alike、alone、asleep、awake、alive等）作定语，定语后置；
a man alive：活着的人
有些表身体健康状况的形容词如well, faint, ill只作表语。sick既可作表语又可作定语，ill如作定语意为“bad”；
④形容词作定语修饰由不定代词one, no, any, some和every构成的复合词如anything、something等时，通常后置；
I have something important to tell you.
⑤enough、nearby修饰名词前置或后置，程度副词一般位于形容词、副词前面，enough修饰形容词、副词时，必须后置；
⑥else常用作疑问代词和不定代词的后置定语；
⑦几个副词并列作状语时，其顺序较灵活，但一般是：方式→地点→时间；
⑧频度副词如often, always, usually等在be动词后，行为动词前；
⑨副词作定语，定语后置；
The person there is waiting for you.
⑩复合形容词常用作定语。
He was a 12-year-old boy.
复合形容词的构成：
▲形容词+形容词：red-hot炽热的 dark-blue深蓝的
▲形容词+现在分词：good-looking好看的 easy-going随和的
▲副词+现在分词：hard-working勤劳的 fast-moving快速转动的
▲副词+过去分词：hard-won得来不易的 newly-made新建的
▲名词+形容词：life-long终生的 world-famous世界闻名的
▲名词+现在分词：peace-loving爱好和平的 fun-loving爱开玩笑的
▲名词+过去分词：snow-covered白雪覆盖的 hand-made手工的
▲形容词+名词-ed：kind-hearted好心的 white-haired白发的
▲数词+名词 + ed：four-storeyed 4层楼的 three-legged 3条腿的
▲数词+名词（名词用单数）：ten-year 10年的 two-man两人的
2.形容词作伴随状语和原因状语
He spent 7days in the wind and snow, cold and hungry.他在风雪中度过了7天，又冷又饿。
She stared into the distance, speechless for a long time.她盯着远处看，好长时间不讲话。
Afraid of being caught, the thief hid himself under a bed.因为害怕被抓，这个小偷藏在床下面。
象get, grow, become, feel, appear, prove, look, keep, smell, taste, sound, go, turn, remain等这些动词既可以用作为实义动词又可以用作连系动词，因而要根据上下文语境判断究竟是什么性质的动动词才能正确解题。
玛丽悲伤地看了看父母亲而她的父母亲看上去也很悲伤。
Mary looked sadly at her parents while her parents looked sad, too.（第一个“look”为实义动词，第二个 “look” 为连系动词）
形容词、副词有三个等级：原级、比较级和最高级，其构成形式如下：
规则变化：单音节词和少数双音节词，加词尾-er，-est来构成比较级和最高级
构成法 原级 比较级 最高级
一般单音节词未尾加-er, -est tall taller tallest
以不发音的e结尾的单音词和少数以-le结尾的双音节词只加-r,-st nice nicer nicest
以一个辅音字母结尾的闭音节单音节词，双写结尾的辅音字母，再加-er,-est big bigger biggest
"以辅音字母+y"结尾的双音节词，改y为i，再加-er，-est busy busier busiest
少数以-er,-ow结尾的双音节词未尾加-er,-est clevernarrow cleverernarrower cleverestnarrowest
其他双音节词和多音节词，在前面加more，most来构成比较级和最高级 importanteasily more importantmore easily most importantmost easily
不规则变化
原级 比较级 最高级
good/well better best
bad/ill worse worst
old older/elder oldest/eldest
much/many more most
little less least
far farther/further farthest/furthest
注意：many, old和far比较级及最高级用法的区别
①如果后接名词时，much more +不可数名词，many more +可数名词复数。
②old有两种比较级和最高级形式: older/oldest 和elder/eldest。elder，eldest只用于兄弟姐妹的长幼关系。
My elder brother is an engineer.
Mary is the eldest of the three sisters.
③far有两种比较级，farther，further..在英语中两者都可指距离。
在美语中，father表示距离，further表示进一步
I have nothing further to say.
1.原级的用法
表示双方在程度、性质、特征等某方面相等时，用“as+原级形容词/副词+ as”的结构；表示双方不相等时，用“not so(as)+原级形容词/副词+ as”的结构；表示一方是另一方的若干倍时，用“倍数+ as+原级形容词/副词+ as”的结构。
Xiao Wang is as tall as Xiao Yu.
This building looks not so (as)high as that one.
Miss Xu speaks English as fluently as you .
This room is three times as large as that one.
2.比较级的用法
①双方比较，表示一方超过另一方时，用“比较级+than”的结构表示；
This picture is more beautiful than that one.
注意：
▲比较对象的一致性
请看下面这道选择题：
The weather in China is different from__ __.
A. in America B. one in America C. America D. that in America
本题意为"中国的天气比美国热。"比较的是天气而不是国家，C不能选。A没有名词，后句成分不全，排除。B和D中，B中的one常用来代替可数名词，而that可车以代替不可数或抽象名词，所以选D。
▲要避免将主语包含在比较对象中
（错）China is larger than any country in Asia.（因为中国也属于亚洲）
（对）China is larger than any other countries in Asia.
▲注意比较对象的省略或隐藏：有时省略或不点明被比较的对象，而是通过语境来暗示被比较的对象。
请看下面这两道选择题：
If there were no examinations, we should have ___ at school.
A. the happiest time B. a more happier time C. much happiest time D. a much happier time
本题将比较的对象隐藏在虚拟条件句中，即：与没有考试的时候相比。本题答案选D。
I don’t think this film is by far the most boring.I have seen____________.
A. better B. worse C. the best D. the worst
由前文“我认为这部电影不是最没趣的”可知，“我看过(比这部)更差的电影”，省略了than this one。本题答案是B。
It takes a long time to go there by train; it's ________by road.
A. quick B. the quickest C. much quick D. quicker
由语境可知，句末省略了than by train，用比较级。本题答案是D。
②表示一方不及另一方时，用“less+原级+than”的结构表示；
This room is less beautiful than that one.
③表示一方超过另一方的程度或数量时，可在比较级前加表示程度的状语，如even, a lot, a bit, a little, still, much, far, yet, by far等修饰；
He works even harder than before.
注意：by far通常用于强调最高级。用于比较级时，一般放在比较级的后面，如在前面，应在二者中
间加“the”。
He is taller by far than his brother.
He is by far the taller of the two brothers.
④表示一方随另一方的程度而变化时，用“the +比较级（主语+谓语），the +比较级（主语+谓语）”
的结构（意为“越……越……”）；
The harder he works, the happier he feels.
⑤不与其他事物相比，表示本身程度的改变时，用“比较级+ and+比较级”的结构；
The weather is getting colder and colder.
The girl becomes more and more beautiful.
⑥某些以-ior结尾的形容词进行比较时，用to代替than。这些词有inferior（劣等的，次的）、superior（较
好的，优于……）、junior（资历较浅的）、senior（资格较老的）、prior（在……之前）等；
He is superior to Mr. Zhang in chemistry.
⑦在比较从句中为了避免重复，我们通常用that(those)、one(ones)代替前面出现的名词。that指物,one既可指人又可指物。that可代替可数名词单数和不可数名词，而one只能代替可数名词；
The book on the table is more interesting than that(或the one)on the desk.
A box made of steel is stronger than one made of wood.
⑧否定词+比较级
该结构用否定形式表示肯定意义。要掌握该结构的用法，须注意以下几点：
▲该结构多为“can't ／couldn't ＋比较级”的形式
I can't agree with you more.我再同意你的意见不过了。（或：我完全同意你的意见。）
The weather couldn't be worse.天气再糟糕不过了。
He couldn't have done better.他做得再好不过了。
▲用于该结构中的否定词除了not之外，还有no，never，nothing等
This could give her no greater pleasure.这使她再高兴不过了。
There's nothing cheaper.这东西再便宜不过了。
There is no greater love than that of a man who lays down his life for his friends.
为朋友而放弃生命的爱是最伟大的爱。
▲当该结构中的比较级为less时，其意义为“一点也不”
试比较：He couldn't care more.他非常介意。（或：他最关心不过了。）
He couldn't care less.他毫不介意。（或：他最漠不关心了。）
注意：反过来用肯定形式表示否定意义。这种用法主要见于：
▲know better than+不定式。这种结构意为“不至于”
You have a better command of French than to make such mistakes.
你的法语较好，不至于犯这样的错误。
He is more experienced than to do such a thing.
他比较有经验，不至于做这样的事。
▲more than…can。这种句型形式上是肯定，实际上有否定含义
The boys in the street have become very insolent and it is more than flesh and blood can bear.
街上的男孩变得非常无礼,到了人所不能忍受的地步。
The beauty of the place is more than I can describe.
那地方美得无法形容。
⑨倍数表达法
▲A is three(four, etc.)times the size(height, length etc.)of B.
The new building is four times the size(the height)of the old one.
这座新楼是那座旧楼的四倍大（高）/这座新楼比那座旧楼大（高）三倍。
▲A is three(four, etc.)times as big(high, long, etc.)as B.
Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亚洲是欧洲的四倍大/亚洲比欧洲大三倍。
▲A is three (four, etc.)times bigger(higher, longer, etc.)than B.
Your school is three times bigger than ours.你们的学校比我们的学校大三倍。
用times表倍数通常用于三倍以上，两倍可以用twice或double.
3.最高级的用法
①三者或三者以上相比，表示最高程度时，用“the +最高级”的结构表示。这种句式一般常有表示比
较范围的介词短语；
Zhang Hua is the tallest of the three.
He works(the)hardest in his class.
②最高级可被序数词以及much、by far、nearly、almost 、by no means、not quite、not really、nothing like
等词语所修饰；
This hat is by far / much / nearly / almost / not nearly / by no means / not quite / nothing like the biggest.
③表示“最高程度”的形容词，如excellent、extreme、perfect等，没有最高级，也没有比较级。
④形容词最高级修饰作表语或介词宾语的名词、代词时，被修饰的词往往省略；
He is the tallest(boy)in his class.
⑤作状语的副词最高级前可以不加定冠词。
Of all the boys he came(the)earliest.
4.形容词和副词前面使用冠词的情况
①形容词最高级前一般要加定冠词，副词最高级前可不加冠词；
②形容词最高级前有时加不定冠词，或不加冠词，不表比较，表示“非常”；
He is a most clever young policeman.(most=very)
The film is most interesting.(most=very)
③as+形容词+a+单数名词；
This is as good an example as the other is.
④表示两者间“较……的一个”比较级前加the；
who is the older of the tow boys
⑤在“the + 比较级……，the + 比较级……”结构中；
⑥在same前一般要加the；
⑦What +a/an+形容词+单数可数名词=How+形容词+ a/an+单数可数名词
What an interesting film it is！=How interesting a film it is!
⑧so和such的用法
so + 形容词 / 副词 + that …
so + 形容词 + a（n）+ 单数可数名词 + that …
so + many / much / little / few + 名词 + that …
such + a(n)+ 形容词+单数可数名词 + that …
such + 形容词 + 不可数名词 + that …
such + 形容词 + 复数名词 + that …
下列词组中为什么只能用so不可用such？
so much progress、so many people、so little food、so few apples等。
因为名词受many, much, little, few等表示“多或少”意义的词修饰。
下列这句中such用得对不对？（对）。为什么？
These are such little boys that they can’t dress themselves.
因为little在这儿表示“小”，而不是表示“少”的意思。
下列so的用法是错误的：so difficult problems, so hot weather
为什么？因为problems是复数，weather是不可数名词。
⑧有些形容词前加the 成为名词。如the poor, the rich 等。

You walk(much)too far yesterday.昨天你散步走得太远了。

English is too difficult for me to learn well.英语太难，我学不好。
The hat is too large to wear.这帽子太大，没法戴。
