Africa is the second largestcontinent.

Mike is the mostintelligent in his class.
Mike is more intelligent than any other studentsin his class.
4)"否定詞語+比較級","否定詞語+so… as"結(jié)構(gòu)表示最高級含義。
Nothing is so easy asthis.
=Nothing is easier thanthis.
=This is the easiestthing.
13.

典型例題
1)The weather in China is differentfrom____.
A. inAmerica B. one inAmerica C. America
D. that inAmerica
答案:D. 本題意為"中國的天氣比美國熱。"比較的是天氣而不是國家,C不能選。A沒有名詞,后句成分不全,排除。B和D中,B中的one常用來代替可數(shù)名詞,而that可車以代替不可數(shù)或抽象名詞,所以選D。
2)After the newtechnique was introduced,the factory produced ___tractors in 1988 as the year before.
A. as twice many B.as many twice C.twice as many D. twice many as
答案C. 此句意為"這個廠1988能生產(chǎn)的拖拉機是往年的兩倍"。 表示倍數(shù)用"倍數(shù)+ as+ 形容詞原形+ as+比較對象"的句型。所以此句答案為C。
This ruler is three times aslong as that one.
