高考英语陷阱题大揭密——比较结构
◆典型陷阱题分析◆
1. How beautifully she sings! I have never heard _____ voice.
A. a better B. a best
C. the better D. the best
【陷阱】容易误选D,认为最高级前要用定冠词。
【分析】其实此题最佳答案为A,该句可视为…I have never heard a better voice than her voice 之省略,全句句意为“她唱得多好啊!我从未听过她这么好的声音”。请再看以下类似的实例:
He is fine, never better. 他很好,比以往任何时候都好。
This bird is really lovely. I’ve never seen a finer one. 这只鸟真可爱,我从未见过这样好看的鸟。
比较以下试题,情形也大致相同:
(1) “I’ve never found a better job.” “_______.”
A. I don’t think so B. Too bad
C. Congratulations D. Don’t worry
答案选C,I’ve never found a better job可视为 I’ve never found a better job than this job 之省略,句意为:我从来没有找到比这份工作更好的工作,即这是我所找到的最好的工作。
