【實(shí)例解析】
1. (2004年北京市中考試題)
-Which is ________, the sun, the moon or the earth?
-Of course the moon is.
A. small B. smaller C. smallest D. the smallest
答案:D。該題考查的是形容詞的比較等級(jí)的用法。因?yàn)槭翘枺厍蚝驮铝寥哌M(jìn)行比較,選用形容詞的最高級(jí),而且最高級(jí)之前要加定冠詞the。所以選D。
2. (2004年上海徐匯區(qū)中考試題)
He has made _______ progress this term than before.
A. little B. less C. fewer D. much
答案 B。該題考查的是形容詞比較等級(jí)的用法。因?yàn)槭乾F(xiàn)在和過去進(jìn)行比較,所以要用比較級(jí),又因?yàn)槭切揎棽豢蓴?shù)名詞,只能用less, 而不能用fewer。
3. (2004年江西省中考試題)
-What delicious cakes!
-They would taste _______ with butter.

4. (2004年河北省中考試題)
Bob never does his homework ________ Mary. He makes lots of mistakes.
A. so careful as B. as carefully as C. carefully as D. as careful as
答案:B。該題考查的是形容詞和副詞的用法區(qū)別。因?yàn)樵撛~修飾的是動(dòng)作“做家庭作業(yè)”,所以要用副詞。又因?yàn)楸硎疽环讲蝗缌硪环揭镁湫?ldquo;not as+副詞原級(jí)+as”,所以只能選B。
