13、项选择题1.答案：D。该题考查的是形容词的比较等级的用法。因为是太阳，地球和月亮三者进行比较，选用形容词的最高级，而且最高级之前要加定冠词the。所以选D。句意：-哪个最大？太阳，月亮还是地球？-当然是月亮。2.答案：B。该题考查的是形容词比较等级的用法。因为是现在和过去进行比较，所以要用比较级，又因为是修饰不可数名词，只能用less, 而不能用fewer。句意：他这个学期的进步比以往小得多。3.答案：B。该题考查的是形容词和副词的用法区别。因为该词修饰的是动作“做家庭作业”，所以要用副词。又因为表示一方不如另一方要用句型“not as+副词原级+as”，所以只能选B。句意：鲍勃从来不像玛丽那
14、样认真做作业。他犯很多错误。4.答案：B。四个选项中可以修饰比较级的只有much。句意：运动会上，吴林跑得比其他男孩子都快。5.答案：C。本题考查固定结构。“The +比较级，the+比较级”表示“越，越。”句意：记住这句话，孩子们。越细心，就越少犯错误。6.答案：B。不定代词的定语都需要放在所修饰词的后面。句意：我今天有一些重要的事情要做。7.答案：D。speak highly of赞扬。句意：与约翰约会的女人总是对他赞不绝口。8.答案：D。too to表示否定含义“太而不能”，但是如果在这个too前面加上了否定词not/never/no以后，含义就变为“再也不过分”，“越越好”。句意：在街上骑自行车，你越小心越好。9.答案：A。present在场的，出席的。通常用作present at the party/meeting。句意：参加聚会的人都是他的支持者。10.答案：B。decisively决然地，果断地；reluctantly不情愿地；willingly自动地，欣然地；deliberately故意地。though一词提示我们，他虽然同意了去听音乐会，但是很不情愿。句意：他想在家，但是最后他很不情愿地去听音乐会。二、阅读理解题1.
