初級英語語法重點(diǎn)、考點(diǎn)與難點(diǎn)(04)

比較級知識點(diǎn)

1. 要注意比較對象的一致性

His camera is more expensive than ____.

A. hers                    B. her                      C. it                         D. its

此題應(yīng)選A, 容易誤選B, 這里涉及的主要是比較對象的一致性問題。正如我們不能將“一公斤肉”與“一尺布”進(jìn)行比較一樣，我們不能將“他的照相機(jī)”與“她(它)”比較。比較以下正誤句型：

中國人口比日本(的人口)多得多。

誤：The population of China is much larger than Japan. (“中國的人口”不能與“日本”比較)

正：The population of China is much larger than that of Japan. (句中 that＝the population)

解放前我們的生活比牛馬還不如。

誤：Before liberation our life was worse than draught animals. (“我們的生活”不能與“牛馬”

比較)

正：Before liberation our life was worse than that of draught animals. (that＝the life)

美國大部分的公路都比歐洲的寬。

誤：Most of the highways in America are wider than Europe. (“美國公路”不能與“歐洲”比較)

正：Most of the highways in America are wider than those in Europe. (those＝the highways)

2. than any other……還是than any……

Canada is larger than ____ country in Asia.

A. any                      B. any other             C. other                   D. another

此題應(yīng)選A。很容易誤選B, 因?yàn)?/FONT> than any other……這一表達(dá)在許多考生腦海里已成了一種“定勢”, 可以脫口而出。而出題者也正是利用考生這一“定勢”設(shè)置陷阱。
