形容词和副词的比较级
一、定义
比较级用于两者(人或事物)的比较，表示其中一个比另一个＂更……＂或＂较……＂，后面用连词than 连接另一个所比较的人或事物。
二、用法
1. 表示两个人或事物作比较时，形容词要用比较级形式，形容词比较级之后常用than引出比较的对象。
This pen is longer than that one. 这支钢笔比那支长。
New York is bigger than Cambridge. 纽约比剑桥大。
2. 表示两者之间的选择，意为＂哪一个更……＂。
Who is taller, Lily or Lucy? 莉莉和露西相比，谁更高？
三、形容词比较级的变化
1. 形容词或副词的比较级的规则变化：
构成方式
例词
规则变化
单音节和部分双音节词
一般在词尾加-er，-est
small→smaller→smallest
hard→harder→hardest
以不发音的字母e结尾的词，加-r，-st
large→larger→largest
wide→wider→widest
以两个辅音字母加一个元音字母结尾的重读闭音节词，双写词尾的辅音字母，再加-er，-est
big→bigger→biggest
thin→thinner→thinnest
以＂辅音字母+y＂结尾的词，变y为i，再加-er，-est
ugly→uglier→ugliest
early→earlier→earliest
少数以er或ow结尾的双音节词，词尾加-er，-est
narrow→narrower→narrowest
clever→cleverer→cleverest
多音节
其他双音节词和多音节词及分词形容词，在词前加more，most
important→more important→most important easily→more easily→most easily
【记忆口诀】
比较级规则变化口诀
两者之间做比较，尾巴-er少不了；
一般词尾加-er，有e词尾只加-r；
单一辅音单音节，双写词尾加-er；
辅音加y很重要，去y变i加-er；
双多音节字太长，前加more比它强。
2. 不规则变化
不规则变化
bad/badly→worse→worst；much/many→more→most；good/well→better→best；
far→farther/further→farthest/furthest；old→older/elder→oldest /eldest；little→less→least
【易错警示】
1. farther/farthest和further/furthest的区别：二者表示距离时，往往可互换，但是用于引申义，表示程度时，只能使用后者。
He can throw much farther/further than you. 他可以比你扔得远得多。
His suggestion is that Kate should be sent abroad for further education. 他的建议是凯特被派往国外进修。
2. older/oldest和elder/eldest的区别：前者用于人或者物，可作定语和表语，可与than连用，而后者主要用于家人之间，表明长幼关系，往往用于人，不用于物，而且只作定语不作表语，也不与than连用。
I’m two years older than him. 我比他大两岁。
His elder brother works in a clothing factory. 他哥哥在一家服装厂工作。
【记忆口诀】
不规则名词变化记忆口诀
合二为一共三对，坏病两多和两好；
一分为二有两个，一是远来二是老；
还有一词含双义，只记少来不记小。
（对应的词为：bad/ill，many/much，good/well，far，old，little）
三、形容词比较级前的修饰词
比较级前可以用much、a little、a lot、even、rather、still、any、a bit、far等词修饰，起强调作用，不可用very、so、quite、too(只能修饰原级)等修饰。
Believe me, you really look much better than before.
相信我，你看起来真的比以前好多了。
He is a lot taller than me. 他比我高很多。
They went there a little later than others.
他们比其他人稍微去晚一点儿。
It’s even bigger than an island. 它甚至比一座岛屿都大。
He is far stronger than his brother. 他比他哥哥强壮得多。
四、形容词、副词比较级的用法
1. 最基本句型＂主语 + be(is/am/are) + 形容词比较级 + than + 比较对象＂。than后接人称代词时可以是主格或宾格。than前后的比较对象必须是同一范畴,即同类事物之间的比较。
She is a little more outgoing than me.
她比我性格外向一点。
2. 比较级前可以用much、a little、a lot、even、rather、still、any、a bit、far等词修饰，起强调作用，不可用very、so、quite、too(只能修饰原级)等修饰。
It’s cold today, but it is going to be even colder tomorrow.
今天很冷，但明天会更冷。
3. 在含有or的选择疑问句中，如果有两者供选择，前面的形容词要用比较级形式。
Who do you think is more beautiful, Lucy or Lily?
你认为谁更漂亮，露茜还是莉莉？
4. 当两者比较只出现一方，含有of the two/of the twins结构时，比较级前要加the，意为＂两个中比较……的一个＂。
He is the taller of the two boys. 他是两个男孩中个子较高的一个。
5. ＂get/become + 形容词比较级 + and + 形容词比较级＂是＂变得越来越……＂的意思，and连接同一个形容词的比较级。当表示＂越来越……＂时，形容词为多音节词或一些双音节词，用＂more and more+原级＂结构。
It gets warmer and warmer when spring comes.
春天来了，天气变得越来越暖和了。
6. ＂the + 形容词比较级…, the + 形容词比较级…＂意为＂越……就越……＂。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。
The harder you work at your study, the better grades you will have.
你学习越努力，你的成绩就越好。
7. 表示＂比……大(长、多、宽……)几倍＂，用＂…times + 形容词比较级 + than…＂结构。
Our classroom is twice larger than yours.
我们的教室比你们的大两倍。
8. 表示＂重几斤＂、＂高几厘米＂、＂大几岁＂等，可用＂表示数量的词 + 形容词比较级 + than…＂。
Tom is six years older than you. 汤姆比你大六岁。
9. 当表达＂……之一＂、＂第几大/小/高/矮……＂时，往往用最高级，而不用比较级。
The Yellow River is the second longest river in China.
黄河是中国第二长河。
10. ＂形容词比较级 + than any other + 单数可数名词＂表示＂……比其他的任何……都……＂，此句型可以换成最高级。
Li Lei is cleverer than any other student in the class.
=Li Lei is the cleverest student in the class.
李磊是班上最聪明的学生。
11. ＂more+形容词＂与＂less +形容词＂及not so(as)…as的互换。要注意前后比较对象要倒换位置。
Chinese is more important than English.
=English is less important than Chinese.
=English is not so important as Chinese. 汉语比英语重要。
12. 比较级的替代。
使用比较级时，前后两个比较项要保持一致。若前一个比较项是不可数名词，则后一个比较项可为替代词 that。若前一个比较项是可数名词复数，则后一个比较项可为替代词those。
The weather in Nanjing is warmer than that in Beijing in winter.
在冬天南京的天气比北京暖和。
The students of Class One study harder than those of Class Two.
一班同学比二班同学学习用功。
比较级的使用原则：
（1）自身不进行比较，排除自己的方法是使用 any other。
He is taller than any other boy in his class. (不能去掉other)他比他班里的其他任何男孩都高。
（2）比较的对象必须是同类的人或事物。
My name is longer than yours. (不能将yours写成 you)我的名字比你的名字长。
【名师点睛】
1. 两者进行比较，表示＂一方比另一方更……＂时用

2. 两者进行比较，表示＂一方与另一方一样……＂时用

3. 两者进行比较，问＂其中哪一个更……＂时用

34．句意：一般来说，最大的孩子被描述为自信，有组织，尽职。unlucky不幸的；confident自信的；serious严肃的；special特殊的。根据空后的形容词“organized, dutiful”可知，空处应是描述性格正向性的词语。故选B。

43．句意：最小的孩子喜欢成为人们关注的焦点。oldest最大的；richest最富有的；youngest最小的；weakest最弱的。上文依次说明了家中最大的孩子、排行中间的孩子，由此可推知，此处应该是“最小的”孩子。故选C。
