【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了 Michael 说服镇上的人们选一天作为聋哑人节为来帮助自己的聋哑朋友 Reggie 不再被区别对待,人们从中体会到了聋哑人生活的不易。
1 . 考查固定短语。句意:城里的人都认识他,他们都很喜欢他。 be fond of 表示 “喜欢”,故填 of 。
2 . 考查副词。句意:不幸的是,他似乎总是被区别对待。修饰动词 treated 用副词,故填 differently 。
3 . 考查定语从句。句意:但最不喜欢这样的人是他的朋友 Michael 。此处为定语从句,先行词为 the person ,指人,关系词在从句中作主语,故填 who/that 。
4 . 考查不定式。句意:所以他设法说服镇上的其他人今年选一天作为聋哑人节。此处表示目的,应该用不定式作目的状语,故填 to choose 。
5 . 考查时态语态。句意:这一天被称为 “无声日”,在这一天,每个人都用耳塞堵住耳朵。事情发生在过去, The day 与 call 之间是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,故填 was called 。
6 . 考查感叹句。句意:随着时间的推移,人们开始意识到聋哑人的生活是多么的艰难。感叹句的一种表达为: how+ 形容词 / 副词 + 主语 + 谓语,故填 how 。
7 . 考查形容词性物主代词。句意:用他惯用的手势, Reggie 是与人们沟通得最好。修饰名词 usual gestures 用形容词性物主代词,故填 his 。
8 . 考查形容词。句意:他们对他能解决几乎所有问题的能力感到惊讶。修饰人用 ed 结尾的形容词,表示 “感到……的”,故填 surprised 。
9 . 考查形容词比较级。句意:他们意识到 Reggie 需要的只是比其他人多一点时间来沟通。 “ than ”表明此处用形容词比较级形式,故填 more 。
10 . 考查时态。句意:就是在这一天,每个人都意识到他们必须给别人一个机会来展示他们是多么有用。 “ realized ”表明此处用一般过去时,故填 was 。

形容词比较等级知识体系:
形容词比较级特殊用法:
1、没有比较对象的比较结构:
所谓没有比较对象的比较结构不是指省略而言,而是指并非真正的比较。
例如:The car runs faster than110 miles. 那辆车时速为110多英里。
There is more than one solution to the problem. 这个问题的解决办法不止一个。
The daily cost in an average hospital in the United States can run as high as $250. 在美国普通医院的每天的费用可高达250美元。
2、用比较级的形式表达最高级的意思:
在这种情况下,往往是将一个人或是一件事与其他所有的人或事相比较。注意别忘了常在比较状语中用any, other, else类的字眼,以将比较主体排除在比较对象以外,因为自己不可以与自己相比较。
例如:He is taller than any one else in our class. 他在我们班比其他任何都高。
Iron is more useful than any other metals. 铁比其他任何金属更有作用。
3、no+比较级+than的结构表示“A和B一样不……”:
例如:She runs no faster than her sister.她与她妹妹一样跑不快。
Tom is no wiser than John. 汤姆和约翰一样没有聪明才智。
He is no richer than his brother. 他与他弟弟一样不富有。
4、汉语可以说“昆明的气候比兰州好”。英语必须加that:
例如:The climate of Kunming is better than that of Lanzhou.
5、英语比较级常译作“较…”、“…一些”等,但不等于汉语的“更…”。汉语的“更…”须用“still”或“even”来表示:
如:This book is even more difficult than that one. 这本书比那本书更难。
6、有些情况下,汉语不用“较”等字眼,英语则须用比较级:
如:Will the younger people give their seats to old people? 请年轻人把座位让给老年人好不好?
形容词比较级的用法:
1、比较级用于二者的比较,其结构是:含有形容词比较级的主句+从属连词than引导的从句(从句中常省去意义上和主句相同的部分)。
如:Li is older than Zhou. 李比周年纪大。(从句中省去了is old)
There are more children in this nursey than in that one. 这个托儿所的孩子比那个托儿所多。(从句中省去了there are children)
After two years' physical training, she is healthier and stronger. 经过两年的体力锻炼,她(比以前)健康强壮多了。(注意这里省去了从句than she was)
We are much better off than ever before. 我们的生活比过去任何时候都要好得多。(than后省去了we were)
Paul weighs less than harry. 保尔的体重比哈利轻。
Mary is less clever than Jane. 玛丽不如简那么聪明。
2、可修饰比较级的词:
1)a bit, a little, rather, much, far, by far, many, a lot, lots, a great deal, any, still, even等
2)还可以用表示倍数的词或度量名词作修饰语。
3)以上词(除by far)外,必须置于比较级形容词或副词的前面。
典型例题:
1)—Are you feeling ____?
—Yes,I'm fine now.
A. any well
B. any better
C. quite good
D. quite better
答案:B. any可修饰比较级,quite修饰原级,well的比较级为better.
2)The experiment was____easier than we had expected.
A. more
B. muchmore
C. much
D. moremuch
答案:C. much可修饰比较级,因此B,C都说得通,但easier本身已是比较级,不需more,因此C为正确答案。
3)If there were no examinations, we should have___at school.
A. the happiest time
B. a more happier time
C. much happiest time
D. a much happier time
答案:D.
注:many, old和far用法:
1)如果后接名词时,much more+不可数名词 many more+可数名词复数
2)old有两种比较级和最高级形式:older/oldest和elder/eldest。elder,eldest只用于兄弟姐妹的长幼关系。
如:My elder brother is an engineer.
3)far有两种比较级,farther,further在英语中两者都可指距离。在美语中,father表示距离,further表示进一步。
如:I have nothing further to say.
3、比较级中的两个特殊作用的结构:
1)The+比较级+句子,表示的意义是“越(怎么样就)越(怎么样)”,在这个结构中的两个“比较级”不要求一定词性相同,它们各自的词性要依句子的需要而定;
2)和比较级+and+比较级。表示的意义是“越来越(怎么样)”,在这个结构中的两个“比较级”则要求词性相同。
例如:The harder you work at your study, the better academicrecords you will have. 你学习越努力,你的成绩就越好。
The more we have, the more we want. 人欲无穷。
When winter is coming, it gets colder and colder. 冬天来临之际,天越来越冷了。
He became less and less satisfied with the foot ball team's performance. 他对足球队的表现越来越不满意了。
