一、表示两者(人或事物)的对比时用比较级,通常用连词than引导,表示“较……”或“更……一些”
(2018年长春卷)—Hi, Jane! Ill go to Shijiazhuang next month.
—Great! The glass bridge there is than any other one in the world.
A. long B. longer
C. longest D. the longest
解析:根据标志词than可知,该句应用比较级。答句句意为:石家庄的玻璃桥比世界上的其他玻璃桥都长。选B。
(2018年河南卷)—Why dont you get yourself a job?
—Thats said than done.
A. easy B. easier
C. the easier D. the easiest
解析:有標志词than,句子应用比较级。答句句意为:说起来容易做起来难。选B。
(2018年湘西卷)—In our English study, I think speaking is as important as reading.
—I dont agree with you. Reading is than speaking, I think.

(2018年天水卷)Can you do the work well with time and people?
A. less;few B. few;little
C. less;fewer D. fewer;less

【知识点】形容词和副词比较级的构成
单音节词和少数双音节词的变化规则:
1)一般直接在单词词尾加-er,如:fast→faster,high→higher等。
2)以-e结尾的词,直接在词尾加-r,如fine→finer,late→later等。
3)以“一个元音+辅音”结尾的词,要先双写词尾的辅音字母,然后再加-er。如:fat→fatter,big→bigger等。
4)以辅音字母加-y结尾应变y为i加-er,如:early→earlier,easy→easier等。
部分双音节和多音节词,在词前加more或less,如:slowly→more/less slowly,easily→more/less easily等。
还有需要特殊记忆的不规则变化。如:
good/well→better,many/much→more,little→less,far→farther/further,bad/badly/ ill→worse,old→older/elder等。
二、在表示“和……一样……”和“不及……”这类概念时,可以用“as+原级+as”和“not as(so)+原级+as”句型
