MPA英语形容词副词练习

七、没有比较级的形容词和副词

1)有些程度副词，如：quite, rather, comparatively, incomparably, relatively, fairly等与形容词连用具有"比较"含义。故这时句中的形容词不能再使用比较级。

【例如】

It is a set of comparatively new instrument in our laboratory.

This book is rather difficult for the juniors, but fairly easy for the seniors.

2)下列几类形容词也没有比较等级：

(1)表示"终极"意义或绝对概念的形容词或副词。如：absolute(ly), blind, dead, excellent, entire, living, full, perfect(ly), round, relative, wrong等。

(2)表示时间、方位或方向的形容词或副词。如：back, backward, forward, front, past, monthly, weekly, present, southern, vertical等。

(3)部分表示事物性质、物质材料或结构成分的形容词。如：atomic, cultural, economic, educational, golden, political, scientific, silken, urban, wooden等。

(4)本身具有"最"或"唯一"概念的形容词。如：maximal, mere, minimal, matchless, sole, only unique等。

八、形容词、副词比较级

1)比较的成分要对等。

【例如】

He is more concerned about others than about himself.

My father is in better health now than last year.

The population of China is larger than that of America.

2) the +比较级……，the +比较级……意为"越……，越……"。前面部分是从句，后面部分是主句。

【例如】

The harder you work, the more successful you will be.

The earlier you come, the better place you can find.

九、形容词的主动性和被动性

有些形容词其本身含有主动的意义，有些则含有被动意义,要特别注意这种语义上的区别。

【例如】

That’s a very interesting story.

Children are interested to read the story. interesting是指故事能引起人的兴趣，有主动意义；interested
