第四章 形容词和副词的比较等级
第1讲 关于than和as
考点1. as…as与(not) as (so)…as
① 在as…as句型中，第一个as是副词，用在形容
词和副词的原级前，常译为“同样”。后面的as是连词。
He is tall.他高。
He is as tall. 他同样高。（as修饰tall,“同样”，为副词）
He is as tall as his brother is（tall）. 与他弟弟一样, 他是同样地高。(后面的as为连词，同……一样。) ② 只有在否定句中，第一个as才可换为so。 改错：He is so tall as his brother. 答案：so改为as 1. 【1994全国】John plays football _____, if not better
than, David.
A. as well B. as well as C. so well D. so well as 2. —Did you enjoy the movie last night?
—Yes, I didn’t expect it _____ wonderful. A. more B. as C. most D. much 考点2. 在比较状语从句中，主句和从句的句式结构
一般是相同的 与as…as句式中后一个as一样，than也是连词。as和than这两个连词后面的从句的结构与前面的句子结构相同，相同部分可以省略。 3. —What do you think of the plan?
—It’s easier said than ______.
A. carried out C. carry out
B. carrying out D. to carry out
4. To answer correctly is more important than ______.
A. that you finish quickly B. finishing quickly C. to finish quickly D. finish quickly 考点3. 谓语的替代（参看P. 错误！未定义书签。错
误！未找到引用源。） 在as和than引导的比较状语从句中，由于句式同前面主句相同，为避免重复，常把主句中出现而从句中又出现的动词用do的适当形式来代替。如： John speaks German as fluently as Mary does. 5. John gives me more help than ______.
A. Tom is B. Tom has C. Tom does D. Tom gives 6. I picked more apples than you ______ yesterday. A. picked B. do C. did D. had 7. 【2007重庆】As I know, he spends at least as much time playing as he ______. A. writes B. does writing C. is writing D. does write
第2讲 比较级
