1. C。根據(jù)題意可知，說話者是將when people do it together和when people don’t do it together這兩種情況比較，故選比較級。注意不要選D，因?yàn)樵诖祟}是要用副詞修飾動詞，不能用形容詞。另外，根據(jù)句末的higher too也可知道此題是考查比較級。
2. D。首先，根據(jù)連系動詞后要接形容詞作表語這一特點(diǎn)，可排除A和C。另外，使役動詞make后可接動詞原形(不帶to的不定式)或過去分詞作賓語補(bǔ)足語，但不能接現(xiàn)在分詞，故可排除選項(xiàng)B。
3. D。take sth seriously的意思是“認(rèn)真對待某事”“認(rèn)真考慮某事”。
4. C。副詞narrowly在此表示“勉強(qiáng)地”，又如：He narrowly escaped being run over. 他差點(diǎn)兒被車壓死。 The proposal to change the rules was narrowly defeated by 201 votes to 196. 建議改變規(guī)則的提議以196票對201票的微弱差額被否決了。本題句意：籃球賽的最后比分是93比94。我們以微弱的劣勢輸?shù)袅吮荣悺?br />
5. B。因題目把這組新學(xué)生與前面一組學(xué)生進(jìn)行比較，故用比較級。
6. B。注意句中的Yes，由于答話者對問話者的“你需要幫助嗎?”作了肯定回答，說明答話者獨(dú)自完成工作有困難，故填more than。
7. C。由于是將“Love me, love my dog”與“Love me, love my book”進(jìn)行比較，故用比較級。此題的巧妙之處在于句中沒有出現(xiàn)than，而是給出兩個(gè)待比較的proverb。
8. B。句子大意為：由于鐵路提速了，所以高速公路和航空業(yè)要提高服務(wù)質(zhì)量來競爭客源。因?qū)ⅰ案咚俟泛秃娇铡迸c“鐵路”比較，故用比較級。
9. B。題目中將“放入冰箱中冷凍”與“不放入冰箱中冷凍”作比較，故用比較級。句意為：史密斯家人晚餐時(shí)上的甜瓜若能放入冰箱中冷凍一下味道會更好些。
10. B。這四個(gè)副詞中，通常只有far可用于修飾比較。注：quite有時(shí)也可用于修飾比較better，但它只用于表示“身體康復(fù)”，不用于其他意義。
11. C。因?yàn)槭菑乃鶎懙乃懈柚羞x出一首來比較，故用最高級(from www.yygrammar.com)。
12. B。因是兩者比較，故用比較級，可將答案鎖定在B和C之間;再根據(jù)句意，排除C。
13. D。此題考查more…than…的用法，其意為“與其說……不如說……”。
14. D。句中的no better than相當(dāng)于as badly as，其意為“一樣不好”。
15. A。that在用作副詞，用法相當(dāng)于so，意為“如此，這么”。
16. C。在as…as…結(jié)構(gòu)中，表示倍數(shù)的詞或程度副詞都放在第一個(gè)as之前。
17. A。語序：不定代詞 + 指示代詞 + 序數(shù)詞 + 基數(shù)詞。
18. A。此題考查can’t be too + adj，其意為“無論……也不為過”。
19. A。因?yàn)閘ikely是形容詞，意為“可能的”，在句中作表語。easily和nearly是副詞;雖然lonely(寂寞的)是形容詞，但其意義與句意不通。
20. C。因?yàn)橹挥衦egularly(經(jīng)常地)才與now and then(偶爾)相對。
21. C。merely在此表示“只是”，其他選項(xiàng)意義不通。
22. A。因?yàn)镮t couldn’t be any worse. 意為“(他的工作做得)非常差”，與后文內(nèi)容相符。
23. A。因?yàn)閠oo…to do sth. (太…以至于不能做…) 是固定搭配。
24. A。由答語No, it’s worse.可知問句中用better。
25. B。后面省略了than he did，意為“我今年還沒看到比他跑得更好成績的人”。
