雙音節(jié)和多音節(jié)形容詞及大多數(shù)副詞的比較級及最高級的構(gòu)成形式:
在原級形容詞或副詞前加more, most分別表示比較級和最高級。
interesting(有趣的) – more interesting – most interesting
friendly(友好的) – more friendly – most friendly
conservatively(保守地) – more conservatively – most conservatively
另外還有少數(shù)單音節(jié)形容詞通過在原級加more ,most分別構(gòu)成相對應(yīng)的比較級和最高級, 如:
tired(疲勞的) – more tired – most tired
pleased(高興的) – more pleased – most pleased
glad(高興的) – more glad – most glad
fit (合適的, 健康的)– more fit – most fit
有極少數(shù)的形容詞/副詞在構(gòu)成比較級及最高級時會出現(xiàn)不規(guī)則變化,復(fù)習(xí)中需要掌握的這類形容詞/副詞有:
good(好的, 優(yōu)良的) / well(滿意地,充分地,健康的) – better - best
many / much – more - most
bad(有害的) / badly(嚴(yán)重地) – worse - worst
little (很少的) – less - least
far(遙遠(yuǎn)的/遙遠(yuǎn)地) – further/farther – furthest
歷年職稱英語考題中多次涉及到形容詞副/詞比較級/最高級這個考點(diǎn), 及與它們相關(guān)的比較狀語從句結(jié)構(gòu):
2008年綜合類c級考卷中的概括大意與完成句子考題也涉及到了“形容詞比較級結(jié)構(gòu)”這個考點(diǎn):
28. pollution(污染) levels(程度) are lower ___.
完成句子題的被選項(xiàng)為:
a. on the downwind side
b. during rush hours
c. in spring and autumn
d. to toxic air
e. between autumn and winter
f. as exposure to nuclear radiation
問題中問:在什么時候?或在什么地點(diǎn)? 或以什么方式?“污染程度較低”
文章中與該問題相對應(yīng)的語句為:
pollution levelstend to (往往)be at their lowest during spring(春季) and autumn(秋季)when winds(風(fēng)) are freshest(清新的, 新鮮的).
該句涉及到了形容詞的最高級結(jié)構(gòu): at their lowest = at their lowest levels
該句說“在春天和秋天污染程度往往最低, 在這兩個季節(jié)里空氣中的風(fēng)最清新。”根據(jù)該句內(nèi)容判斷c(在春天和秋天)是答案。
