四、总结（引深探究 15分钟）

形容词最高级用法

用法：当需要对三者或三者以上的人或事物进行比较，表示“最……”的含义时，需要用 级。我们在使用最高级时应注意以下几点。

1、形容词最高级前通常要加定冠词 ，但如果最高级前有物主代词、名词所有格等修饰时，则不用定冠词。如：

(1)Monday is my busiest day. (2)Jim is Mike’s best friend.。

2、形容词最高级常与介词in或of引导的短语（说明比较范围）连用。若介词后的名词或代词与句中的主语是同一类人或物时，常用of短语。当强调是在某一范围、场所内进行比较时，常用in短语。

如：(1)She is the oldest of these children.

(2)Lily is the youngest in her class.

3、形容词最高级前可用序数词进行限定，共同修饰后面的名词，其结构为：the+序数词+形容词最高级+名词。

如： The Yellow River is the second longest river in China. 黄河是中国第二长河。

4、有时有最高级修饰的名词前还可以用不定冠词来修饰,但这时不含比较的意思，只是表示“非常，很”

如：Their performance was a greatest success.他们的演出非常成功。

四、总结（引深探究 15分钟）

形容词副词比较级最高级使用注意事项

◇比较应在同类事物之间进行。

误：Your English is better than me.

正：Your English is better than mine.

◇比较级前可以有一个表示程度的状语，最常见的三大修饰词是：a little,

much, even。

以下单词也可用来修饰：any, far, still, a lot, yet, rather。

My sister is a little taller than me.

Their house is much larger than ours.

另外，名词短语也可修饰比较级，说明程度。

I’m three years older than he.

特别提醒：very, quite, too不可修饰比较级。

◇避免重复使用比较级。

误：He is more kinder to small animals than I.

正：He is much kinder to small animals than I.

14

误：He is more cleverer than his brother.

正：He is cleverer than his brother.

◇比较要符合逻辑，在同一范围内比较时，避免将主语含在比较对象中，这时需使用

other来排除自身。

误：China is larger that any country in Asia.

正：China is larger than any other country in Asia.

误：John studies harder than any student in his class.

正：John studies harder than any other student in his class.

正：John studies harder than any of the other students in his class.

正：John studies harder than anyone else in his class.

◇比较要遵循前后一致的原则，注意前后呼应。

The population of Shanghai is larger than that of Beijing.

It is easier to make a plan than to carry it out.

◇序数词通常只修饰最高级。

Africa is the second largest continent.

The Yellow River is the second longest river in China.

This is the third most popular song of Michael Jackson.

◇为避免重复，我们通常用that, those, one, ones代替前面出现的名词。that代替可数

名词单数和不可数名词，those代替可数名词复数。one既可指人又可指物，只能代替

可数名词。

The weather in China is different from that in America.

The book on the table is more interesting than that(或the one)on the desk.

A box made of steel is stronger than one made of wood.

误：In winter, the weather of Beijing is colder than it of Shanghai.

正：In winter, the weather of Beijing is colder than that of Shanghai.

◇“否定词 + 比较级”相当于最高级。

----Wait until we get a satisfactory reply, will you?

----I couldn't agree more. The idea sounds great to me.

Nothing is so easy as this. =Nothing is easier than this. =This is the easiest thing.

◇比较级前一般不加冠词。但表示两者中较突出者，且比较级后又有名词或出现了of the

two，这时比较级前一定要加the。

He is the taller of the two.

Of the two jobs，he chose the harder.

Which is the younger one, Lily or Lucy?

试比较：

Which is larger, Canada or Australia?

Which is the larger country, Canada or Australia?

She is taller than her two sisters.

She is the taller of the two sisters.

◇不含than 的比较级前可加不定冠词修饰，构成“a/an+比较级+单数可数名15

词”表示

“一个更……的人/物”。

Why don’t you use a sharper knife? 你为什么不用一把更锋利的刀呢？

◇比较级than 后应用人称代词的主格，但非正式语体中常用宾格。

He is taller than I/me.

◇为避免重复，比较级中同样的动词用助动词do, does, did替代。

I spend less time doing homework than John does.

She tells more funny jokes than we do.

以下内容不是初中教学的重点，仅供拓展之用。

◇形容词most前面没有the，不表示最高级的含义，只表示“非常”。

It is a most important problem.

=It is a very important problem.

◇倍数表达法

▲A is three(four, etc.)times the size(height, length etc.)of B.

The new building is four times the size(the height)of the old one.

这座新楼是那座旧楼的四倍大（高）/这座新楼比那座旧楼大（高）三倍。

▲A is three(four, etc.)times as big(high, long, etc.)as B.

▲A is three (four, etc.)times bigger(higher, longer, etc.)than B.

Running Away

On a very busy day, our four and a half year old son, Justin Carl, kept making trouble

again and again. After several tries, my husband George finally told him to stand in the

corner. He did so 31 he wasn’t too happy about it. Finally, after a few minutes, he said,

“I’m going to run away from home.”

My first reaction (反应) was surprise, and then his words 32 me. “You are?” I

shouted. But as I turned to look at him, he looked like an angel, so small, so innocent, with

his face so sad.

As my heart felt his 33 , I remembered a moment in my own childhood when I

spoke those words and how unloved and lonely I felt. He was saying so much more than just

his words. He was crying, “Please notice me! I’m important. Please make me feel wanted,

loved and 34 .”

“OK, Justin, you can run away from home,” I said to him gently and started 35 out

some clothes. “Well, we’ll need pajamas, your coat…”

“Mama,” he said, “what are you doing?” I put these things into a bag and 36 it by

the front door. “Okay, Justin, if you’re going to run away from home, then Mama’s going

with you, because I would never want you to be alone.”

We held each other while we talked. “Why do you want to come with me?” I looked

into his 37 . “Because I love you, Justin. My life would never be the same if you went

away.” “Can Daddy come?” “No, Daddy has to stay at home with your brothers, and he has

to work and 38 the house while we’re gone.” “Can Freddi (the dog) come?” “No,

Freddi has to stay here, too.” He 39 for a while and said, “Mama, can we stay home?”

“Yes, we can.” “Mama.” “Yes, Justin?” “I love you.” “I love you, too, honey. How about you

help me make some popcorn?” “All right.”

At that moment I knew the wonderful gift that I had been given. It was the important

40 to help develop a child’s sense of security (安全感). I learned that as a mother I should

never “run away” from the opportunity to show my children they are wanted, needed and

loved.

In 2011, Kylie Dunn, a writer from Australia, decided to shake up her life. Every month

for a year, she decided to try two new activities. In February 2012, for example, one of her

goals was to eat less meat for 30 days. Later, she wrote a letter to a friend or relative every

day for a month. In just 12 months, she changed her life in more than 20 different ways.

Dunn was inspired to try her project after watching a TED Talk by Matt Cutts. To get

ideas for activities, she watched hundreds of other TED Talks. Her first activity, in November

2011, was inspired by Jessi Arrington’s talk “Wear Nothing New.” Dunn tried each activity

for 30 days, and then wrote about her experiences in a blog called “My Year of TED.”

Finally, when her project was over, Dunn talked about her experiences at a TEDx

conference (会议) in Hobart, Australia. Dunn’s talk in January 2014 inspired other people to

change their attitudes and their lives. Before her project, Dunn says, she didn’t think she had

the courage to change her life. The project showed her she had more power than she

“People who watch TED Talks… end up changing their view of the future,” says Chris

Anderson, the head of TED. He says that TED’s goal isn’t to make a single big change. TED’s

effect is the millions of stories of small changes. Personal changes like Kylie Dunn’s are

happening every day. Together, these changes have the power to change the future in a

positive way. As Anderson explains, “Instead of thinking of the future as an unstoppable

force… people can play a part in shaping it.”

How long am I going to live? Nobody really knows the answer to that question, but

scientists are very interested in trying to understand the various factors (因素) involved.

Firstly, it depends a lot on what you eat. The country with the longest average lifespan is

33

Japan. On average, women live to 82.5 years and men live to 76.2 years. Scientists think that

diet in Japan is a main reason that Japanese people live a long time; they usually eat lots of

fish and seafood and not much junk food. As well as diet (饮食), lifestyle habits also seem to

make a difference to lifespan. On average, married people live longer than single people and

pet owners live longer than non-pet owners. Being mentally active and doing physical

exercise are also very important lifestyle habits.

Studies of very old people, however, don’t always support the scientific theories. Many

old people don’t eat healthily and don’t do much exercise. Jeanne Calment, the world’s

oldest person ever, certainly goes against scientific ideas. She was born in France in 1875 and

died aged 122. Did she use to have good lifestyle habits? Well, according to scientists, she

had some very good habits: she did plenty of physical exercise and used to ride a bicycle

until she was 100. She was good at thinking positively and she didn’t use to worry about

things. Scientists are surprised, however, by one of her other habits: she didn’t used to eat

very healthily. She used to eat more than two pounds of chocolate a week.

So there is another factor involved in how long we live. Scientists now think that some

people were born with genes (基因) that protect them from aging and diseases better than

other people. For example, Jeanne Calment probably had a gene that stopped her from

getting cancer (癌症) that other people may get aged forty or fifty. Some scientists believe

that we can change our genes by eating a low-calorie diet. Experiments with mice show that

when they eat one third fewer calories every day, they live forty percent longer. In human

terms, that’s the same as living to 170 years old. There’s no proof that it works in human,

however, and perhaps it’s best to enjoy the days you’ve got rather than be hungry all your

life!

49. According to the passage, lifespan is affected by ____ factors.

A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

50. Scientists think that Jeanne Calment lived the longest probably because ______.

A. she used to eat a lot of chocolate

B. she had only good habits in her life

C. she didn’t get cancer when she was fifty

D. she had healthy genes to protect herself

34

51. The writer may agree that ______.

A. humans will live forty years longer if they eat one third less junk food

B. being mentally active is more important than having healthy diet

C. people should eat more low-calorie food to change their genes

D. sometimes enjoying life is more important than living longer

D

Almost two-thirds of all adults now surf the Internet. We spend more and more of our

time looking at computer screens. The question is whether this behaviour is driving human

beings apart or bringing us together. Will the Internet make the world a happier or less

happy place?

The social scientist Robert Putnam said, “I think people are still not sure about whether

the Internet is going to be a kind of telephone for making connections with other real people,

or a television, that is yet one more screen in front of us. I'm also doubtful about a complete

virtual (虚拟的) community – that is the idea you can be best friends with someone that you

don't even know.”

However, all is not lost. Research in the UK has shown that people who surf the Internet

have more friends than those who do not. Robert Putnam says the key is in mixing the real

and virtual experience.

The huge growth in e-mails, blogs and messenger services has created a host of new

social networks which defy geography. Teenagers, especially, increasingly keep in touch with

friends online but they are also developing new relationships with people who may share an

interest but live on the other side of the world.

A new innovation (创新) is the creation of virtual worlds which promise a social life in

virtual space. Second Life is an Internet community with a population of more than 100,000

real people. Each member of the community controls a 3-dimensional puppet (三维木偶)

called an avatar which show their personality. They can then take part in many kinds of social

activities – parties, dancing classes and shows.

Could this be the answer to social loneliness in the real world?

Aleks Krotoski, a video games inventor, says the Internet offers new possibilities: “These

virtual spaces are able to create happiness between people. There's so much socially in these

35

places now. It's very much about a place to go to events, meet people or just chat. I can

imagine that this kind of thing is what the Internet is going to be like in the future. It will be

like a 3-dimensional space that actually looks very much like the real world.”

52. According to Robert Putnam, ______.

A. the Internet is a device to connect with real friends

B. more people surf the Internet now to make more friends

C. we had better make friends in both real and virtual worlds

D. you can find your best friend in complete virtual communities

53. The underlined word “defy” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.

A. challenge B. consider C. support D. test

54. We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. all Internet communities will be 3-dimensional in the future

B. people can have social life in virtual spaces like real world

C. virtual spaces will be the only way to create happiness

D. Second Life will never make people feel lonely

55. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Does happiness live in virtual spaces?

B. Are teenagers getting closer to each other?

C. Do video games help with social loneliness?

D. Do virtual communities look like real world?

八、阅读与表达（共10分，每小题2分）

阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。

Many people think the English do not like to speak other languages. In fact, the English

vocabulary is a mixture (混合体) of words from many different languages. Because of this,

the vocabulary of the English language is very large. It is much larger than that of almost

every other language in the world.

Many English words come from Latin, the old language of Rome, and also from ancient

Greek (希腊语). From Latin we get words like “wine”, “use” and “day”. From ancient Greek

we have words such as “ink”. Because these two languages are dead languages the words

have most often come through other languages such as French, or the old German

languages. There are also many modern words made up from both Greek and Latin roots –

“television”, for example. The word is made up of “tele”, Greek for “far”, and “vision”, a word

from Latin meaning “seeing”.

37

Many common English words come from very strange places. “Tea”, for example,

comes from China, and “banana” comes from West Africa. “Potato” came into English

language from the island of Haiti, in the West Indies, and “tomato” first came from Mexico.

One reason why the English language has so many words from other languages is that

people from many different countries have come to live in Britain. Two thousand years ago

the Romans came from Italy, and stayed for over four hundred years. After they left, the

Anglo Saxons and Jutes came from the northern part of modern Germany. In the ninth and

tenth centuries Scandinavians came into the northern and eastern parts of the country.

Finally, in the eleventh century William of Normandy came from France, and became King of

England. With him came the French language.

In modern Britain there are four separate languages: English, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic and

Irish Gaelic. And the English itself borrowed many words from the other three languages.

The English language continues to grow and borrow words from other languages. It is

not only the language of Britain, but also of Canada, the U.S.A., Australia and New Zealand. It

is used by millions of people in Africa and Asia.

61. Why is the vocabulary of the English language very large?

62. Which language does the word “ink” come from?

63. When did the Scandinavians arrive in Britain?

64. How long did the Romans stay in Britain?

65. What does this passage mainly talk about?
