2 例题解析
［例1］We are for the exam.
A. all ready B. already C. all get D. getting
［答案］A． 因ready是形容词，而already是副词。在许多考题中要区别是形容词还是副词。如all together～altogether，every day～everyday.
［例2］I'll meet you at thetheatre if that's with you.
A. alright B. allright C. all right D. allright
［答案］C． 这里只有all right为正确用法。
［例3］The poor all had a life before liberation.
A. suffered B. cruel C. bitter D. crueler
［答案］C． 因suffered是过去分词，含有被动之意，而cruel是残忍的，只有bitter痛苦的合乎题意。
［例4］He was tired and fell at once.
A. sleeping B. sleep C. sleepy D. asleep
［答案］D． fall asleep意为入睡，而sleepy是困倦之意。要在考试中注意意思相近的形容词，不要误用。如:
alone （单独）lonely （孤独的）
alive （活的）living （活生生的）lively （活跃的）
likely （可能的）likable （可爱的）
［例5］The twins are so much that it is difficult to tell one from the other.
A. similar B. equal C. like D. alike
［答案］D． 因alike是相象，而similar是相似之意，"相同的"在英语中常用的有三个字same, similar, alike，但用法不同。same与定冠词不可分总是the same，或用指示代词；而similar是类似，近似，常与to连用；alike则只能作表语，表示相象。
［例6］I don't make a mistake next time.
A. like B. same C. near D. similar
［答案］D．
［例7］I'm sure the soup tastes .
A. good B. well C. best D. goodly
［答案］A． 因taste是系动词，其后接形容词，这样的动词有:
感观动词:appear, feel, look, seem， smell, sound, taste
表示变化的动词:become, come, get, go, turn out
表示状态的动词:keep, lie, remain

A. of you to say so B. for you to say so

［例9］This job is worth .
A. doing B. to be done C. to do D. do
［答案］A． worth其后要加doing即现在分词。英语中有四个词like, unlike, near和worth，其后可加名词、代词，而其中like常与feel和look连用。
［例10］He was late, becausehe was caught in a traffic jam.
That was a story.
A. like B. likely C. alike D. likeness
［答案］B． 其句意为那只不过是个谎言，likely不是副词是形容词。要注意英语中以ly结尾的词不完全是副词，如:
brotherly （友爱的）deadly （致命的）friendly （友好的）
likely （可能的）lovely （可爱的）weekly （每周一次）
［例11］This town has bridge.
A. a stone old fine B. an old stone fine

［例14］We'll eat assoon as the meat is done.
It has to cook for another five minutes.
A. still B. yet C. already D. may
［答案］A． still一般表示原以为事情已经结束，但结果却相反。而already则表示某事已经发生了。它一般只用于陈述句与疑问句，不能用于否定句。yet表示一种期望，一般用于否定句与疑问句。
［例15］How was your examination?
It wasn't very difficult, but it was long.
A. too much B. so much C. very much D. much too
［答案］D． 因much too加形容词，而too much其后加不可数名词。和much一样的词是far，可以用来修饰too.
［例16］I wish Bill would drive us to the train station.
He has to take us all.
A. too small a car B. very small a car
C. a too small car D. such small a car
［答案］A． 因too这里的用法相当于so+形容词+不定冠词+单数名词。意为太……以至于不能……。
［例17］The football match was televised from the stadium.
A. alive B. life C. live D. lively

A. Only I saw John in the office. B. I saw John only in the office.
C. I only saw John in the office. D. I saw only John in the office.
［答案］D． only这个词很活，它修饰哪个词就放在那个词前。这四句话应分别译为，
A. 仅仅是我看见John在办公室。
B. 我看见John仅在办公室里。
C. 我仅看见John在办公室里。
D. 我看见仅仅John一个人在办公室里。
［例21］She writes as as her sister.
A. clear B. more clear C. clearly D. most clearly.
［答案］C． as…as中间应用原级，但这里有形容词原形，还有副词原形，这里是修饰write，所以用副词。
［例22］We have done the work better than .
A. he B. he has C. he does D. he did
［答案］B． 要注意的是than是连词，后面是一个省略句，并要注意所用代词的格和词序及助动词。

［例26］The more I explained the students seemed to understand.
A. less B. the less C. lesser D. The lesser
［答案］B因这里的用法是越来越，越……越……，这里应用the+比较级…the+比较级。
［例27］The pressure of thisgas pipe is greater than .
A. the gas pipe B. of the gas pipe
C. that of the gas pipe D. those of the gas pipe
［答案］C． 为了避免重复，连词as和than后面的比较状语从句虽然可以作某些省略，但比较成分不能省略，否则会引起误解。如这里比较的是pressure，所以后面要用that来代替这个名词。如果代替的是复数名词，则用those。
［例28］This room in the building.
A. is biggest than any other one. B. is bigger than any other one.
C. is biggest than other one. D. is bigger than all the rooms.
［答案］B． 在比较级句子中要弄清比较级的范围，要把比较的一方从被比较的另一方区别开来。因为这间房间在这个楼中，所以要用其他的（other）来将这间房子与其他的分开。
［例29］John and Tony are both very learned, but Harry is the one.
A. more clever B. cleverer C. cleverest D. clever
［答案］C． 因三者要用最高级，而二者要用比较级。
