Answer key 8
(A)
动词部分有助动词would，所以前面不能用助动词doesn't (如 C和D)。又，
more often than not是一个常用短语，表示“经常”
(A)
因是父子两人，故应用each other。三人以上方能用one another (如 B, C
和 D)。答案 A 中，each other 是 found 的宾语，greatly changed是宾
语补语。
(A)
后面有比较级连接词as，所以前面只能用as(A或B)。空格位置应用副词
fluently修饰动词speaks，故选A。D的so只能用在否定句，例如not so
fluently就可以配合后面的as,作正确的答案。
(A)
quite是个强调语气的副词，可直接修饰名词短语a different impression，
故选A。而C和D用了副词differently，置于名词impression之前，词类
错误。B中的quitely错误，因为没有这种拼法。
(A)
clean作形容词是“干净的”，作副词时则是“完完全全”。在此用副词用法
来修饰动词forgot。
(A)
dead tired这个短语相当于“累得要死”，又dead center表示“正中红心”，
在这两个短语中dead都当作强调语气的副词，不是形容词。
(A)
keep clear of意思是“避开，保持距离”，其中clear当away解释。
(B)
地方副词there在先，时间副词yesterday在后，这是一般的顺序。修饰
yesterday的副词late置于它的前面。
(D）
这个位置要求频率副词（如D,有时候)。A的some time表示“一段时间”，是名词短语，如：I spent some time in the U.S.。B的some times表示
“某些时代”或是“若干次”。C的sometime是个形容词，表示“从前的”，
如a sometime friend是“从前的朋友”，当副词用时sometime表示“不特
定的时间”，如 I’ll be back sometime。
(D)
A和B的最高级与比较级在上下文都没有呼应，C的latter表示“后者”，
上文应有“两者”时才能使用。
(C)
空格位置在writing and rewriting之后，应用副词类（C或 D)修饰其中的
动词部分。放在前面才能用形容词（如careful writing and rewriting )。
再看句意，应选肯定语气的C。
(D)
这个位置是修饰形容词important的位置，应用副词（只有D，而B是错误
拼法)。
(D)
句尾的before暗示应用现在完成式最好（C或D)，而never移至句首时应
用倒装句，故选D。
(B)
little 是否定的语气，所以 they are little better than slaves 既表示
“比奴隶好不了多少”，在此little作副词来修饰比较级的形容词better。
当然，只有形容词没有名词，就不应加冠词（如A和D)，而C的less本身
是比较级，与better重复了。
(D)
回答是 He is much more intelligent than his brother.其中用 much来
加强比较级more intelligent。又，简答句中可以把重复的He is intelligent
省略，只用so取代，即成D。
(A)
这是双重比较结构(double comparison)，以 the more...the more之类的
结构置于句首来取代连接词，表达“成正比”的关系，故选A。
(C)
这个位置是副词位置，修饰 disappointed，只有C是副词。
(D)
no longer表示“不再”，作时间副词用，又有否定句功能，应与助动词could
置于一起。
(A)
由下文than可看出是比较级，而在A和C之间，further表示“程度更深，
更进一步”，并非能用尺量出来的“更远”， 故选A。
(A)
stand firm 可作 you must stand firm 看待，这个 firm 是主语补语，应
用形容词，修饰主语you，意为“你们得保持坚定”，也就是“不要怕”。如
果用副词firmly,只能修饰动词stand, 意为“两条腿出点力气站稳”，与上
文不大相配。
