Unit 3 Language in use

1. The population if India is smaller than that of China but bigger than that of Russia. 印度的人口比中国的人口少，但比俄罗斯的人口多。

【知识点】that

指示代词，那，那个。常用在表示比较的句子中，指代上文已经提及的事物以避免重复。

☞In summer, the weather in my hometown is hotter than that in Beijing. 在夏天，我家乡的天气比北京的天气更热。

2. New York is more famous than any other city in the USA. 纽约比美国其他任何一个城市都出名。

【知识点】比较级+than any other +可数名词单数+in... 在（某一范围内）......比其他任何一个......都......

此结构形式上是比较级，实际上表达最高级的意义，可与最高级进行同义句转换。

☞Tony is taller than any other boy in his class. Tony 比他班里任何一个男孩都高。=Tony is the tallest boy in his class. Tony是他班里最高的学生。

形容词和副词的比较级(Ⅰ)

1．比较级的定义

大多数的形容词和副词都有三个级别：原级、比较级和最高级。其中比较级表示“更……”，用于两者之间的比较，用来说明“前者比后者更……”，常用than来连接另一个所比较的人或事物。比较级前面一般用much，even，a little修饰，其中even，much只能修饰比较级。

2．比较级的构成

单音节形容词或副词和部分双音节形容词或副词比较级规则形式的变化如下：

(1)一般在词尾加－er。如：tall－taller，great－greater

(2)以不发音的字母e结尾的单词直接加－r。如：nice－nicer，large－larger

(3)以重读闭音节结尾的词，先双写末尾的辅音字母(辅＋元＋辅)，再加－er。如：big－bigger，hot－hotter

(4)以“辅音字母＋y”结尾的双音节词，改y为i，再加－er。如：easy－easier，busy－busier

3．比较级的常用结构

(1)表示“A和B一样”，用as…as的结构：A＋be动词＋as＋形容词原级＋as＋B；A＋实义动词＋as＋副词原级＋as＋B。

(2)表示“A比B更……”用“比较级＋than”的结构。

A＋be动词＋形容词比较级＋than＋B；A＋实义动词＋副词比较级＋than＋B。

选择疑问句结构为Which/Who＋be＋形容词比较级，A or B？Which/Who＋实义动词＋副词比较级
