Neither you nor I am right. The young professor not only has knowledge but also has experience. 注意:“祈使句或名词短语+and+陈述句”句式是高考考查的重点。 Go through the gate and you'll find the library on your left side. 从这个大门穿过去,你就会发现图书馆在你的左边。 How dangerous!One more step, and you will fall into the river. 多险呀!你再多走一步,就会掉进河里。 2.表示转折关系的并列连词 表示转折关系的并列连词有but, yet, while等。while只是表示轻微转折,表明两种情况的对比。 He told me he would come but he hasn't turned up yet. It's a small car, yet it's surprisingly spacious. The boys are running on the playground while the girls are playing games. 3.表示选择关系的并列连词 表示选择关系的并列连词有:or, or else, either...or...等。 Shall we go out to the cinema or stay at home?

Either the employees or the manager is to blame. 4.表示因果关系的并列连词 表示因果关系的并列连词有so, for等。 I was feeling hungry, so I made myself a sandwich. The man can't be Mr. Green, for he never wears sunglasses. 5.表示时间关系的并列连词 when也可作并列连词,相当于and then,意为“就在那时”。 I was doing my homework when someone knocked at the door. I was about to close the window when a butterfly flew in.
(2)“比较级+and+比较级”意为“越来越……”。 As summer is coming, the day is becoming longer and longer. 夏天到了,天变得越来越长了。 It rained more and more heavily. 雨越下越大。
(3)“the+比较级..., the+比较级...”意为“越……就越……”。 The more careful you are, the fewer mistakes you'll make. 你越仔细,出的问题就越少。 The more I thought, the more puzzled I felt. 我越想越不明白。
(4)“the+比较级+of the two+名词”表示“两者中较……的那个”。 The taller of the two boys is my brother. 两个男孩中比较高的那个是我哥哥。 (5)运用比较级时要注意比较的对象或范围。 The weather of Beijing is colder than Shanghai.(×)(出现了比较对象上的错误。本句比较的是两地的天气,所以than后应用替代weather的that。) The weather of Beijing is colder than that of Shanghai.(√) 北京的天气比上海冷。 China is larger than any country in Asia.(×)(出现了比较范围上的错误。any表示“任何一个”,中国就是亚洲的一个国家,应当排除在外。) China is larger than any other country in Asia.(√) 中国比任何其他亚洲国家都大。 China is larger than any country in Africa.(√) 中国比非洲的任何国家都大。 (6)比较级用于否定句以及比较级的以下结构可表达最高级概念: 比较级+than+any other+单数名词 all (the) other+复数名词 anyone else any of the other+复数名词 the rest of+复数名词 I have never heard a better voice than yours.(=Your voice is the best voice that I have ever heard.) 我从未听过比你更好的嗓音。 Julia is taller than any other girl in her class. Julia is taller than the other girls in her class. Julia is taller than the rest of the girls in her class. 朱丽叶是她们班上最高的女生。
(7)比较级的特殊含义以及一些特殊结构。more than(多于),no more than(不多于,仅仅),less than(少于),not less than(至少),less+形容词+than(不如)等。 It is less cold today than it was yesterday. 今天没有昨天冷。 3.最高级的用法 (1)最高级是表示三者或三者以上中程度最高的比较方式,常用“the+形容词最高级+名词+表示范围的短语或从句”和“(the)+副词最高级+表示范围的短语或从句”结构。 Jack is the tallest student in his class. 杰克是他班上最高的学生。 He talks (the) least and does (the) most in his class. 他是班上说得最少干得最多的。
(2)most前如没有定冠词the,就没有比较的意思,只是用来加强语气,有“很,非常”之意。 Annabel is a most beautiful girl. 安娜贝尔是一个很漂亮的女孩。 Annie is most hardworking. 安妮非常用功。
(3)最高级前常用的修饰语有序数词以及much, (by) far, far and away, nearly, almost等。 Of the three girls, Betty is much the cleverest. 这三个女孩中,贝蒂是最聪明的。 Of all the students, Jack's oral English is almost the best. 在所有的学生中,杰克的英语口语几乎是最好的。 注意:much, far, far and away等放在最高级之前,by far可置于最高级前也可置于其后。 This is (by) far the best book that I've ever read.(=This is the best book by far that I've ever read.) 这是我读过的最好的书。 考点十二 倍数表达 【真题再现】 (2009·辽宁)Peter's jacket looked just the same as Jack's, but it cost ________ his. A. as much twice as
B. twice as much as C. much as twice as
D. as twice much as 答案与解析:B 倍数表达法是形容词比较等级中一种很常用的比较级结构。不管用哪种比较级结构来表示比较,表示倍数的词总是放在比较级结构的最前面。这里“twice”是倍数,用了as...as...这个比较结构。故选B项。 【考点诠释】 在英文中,有以下三种表达倍数关系的句型: 1.数字+times+as+原级+as+比较对象。 Their house is about three times as big as ours. 他们的房子大约有我们房子的三倍大。 2.数字+times+the size/length/depth/height/width+of+比较对象。 Your office is three times the size of ours. 你的办公室是我们办公室的三倍大。 3.数字+times+比较级+than+比较对象。 He runs three times faster than Jack. 他跑得比杰克快三倍。 注意:若指两倍,以上各句型中的“数字+times ”则应换成twice。 This room is twice the length of the other, but much narrower. 这个房间的长度是那个房间的两倍,但窄得多。 考点十三 介词和介词短语 【真题再现】 1.(2010·重庆)The dictionary is what I want, but I don't have enough money ________ me.
