三.不规则形容词比较级
除了变化规则的形容词比较级之外, 在英文里有很少数几个形容词比较级的变 化是不规则的. 比方 "好" good, g-o-o-d, good 变成 better, b-e-t-t-e-r, better; "坏" bad, b-a-d bad 变成 worse, w-o-r-s-e, worse.
现在我们来作换字练习. 首先学学 better 的用法. 由老师念一个句子, 然后老师 给你一个新名词, 请你代换到原来的句子里. 比方老师说: This student is good, but that student is better. 接着老师给你一个名词 teacher 请你作代换练习, 正确 答案应该是 This teacher is good, but that teacher is better. 现在我们开始作练习.
每作完一句, 就请你听正确答案.
M: This student is good, but that student is better.
M: teacher
F: This teacher is good, but that teacher is better.
M: dictionary
F: This dictionary is good. but that dictionary is better.
M: report
F: This report is good, but that report is better.
下面我们用同样的方式来练习 worse 的用法.
M: This school is bad, but that school is worse.
M: college
F: This college is bad,but that college is worse.
M: university
F: This university is bad, but that university is worse.
F: library
F: This library is bad, but that library is worse.
另外两个变化不规则的形容词是 many, m-a-n-y, many. 跟 much, m-u-c-h, much.
这两个字的比较级都是 more, m-o-r-e, more.
现在我们给你举一些例子, 先比较 much 跟 more. 句子的内容还是把苏珊跟亨 利作个比较, 比方苏珊赚的钱比较少, 亨利赚得比较多等等. 每个句子老师念两 次,请你听一次, 跟着老师重复一次.
M: Susan doesn't earn much money; Henry earns more.
F: Susan doesn't earn much money; Henry earns more.
M: Susan doesn't drink much coffee; Henry drinks more.
F: Susan doesn't drink much coffee; Henry drinks more.
M: Susan doesn't eat much meat; Henry eats more.
F: Susan doesn't eat much meat; Henry eats more.
下面几个句子是比较 many 跟 more. 请你还是跟刚才一样练习.
M: Henry doesn't read many books; Susan reads more.
F: Henry doesn't read many books; Susan reads more.
M: Henry doesn't have many records; Susan has more.
F: Henry doesn't have many records; Susan has more.
M: Henry doesn't take many trips; Susan takes more.
F: Henry doesn't take many trips; Susan takes more.
四.听短文回答问题
首先我们来听一段文章,内容是比较亨利跟苏珊在生活饮食习惯上有什么不同.
文章里的句型和词汇都是我们已经练习过的.
现在请你注意听.
Henry is a little fatter than he wants to be. He wants to lose some weight. So he is on a diet. He tries not to eat too much and he eats very little sugar because it will make him fat. He also does exercises everyday. He swims, and he runs about two miles a day. Now he is stronger than before. Henry's cousin, Susan, is healthier than Henry. She is also younger and thinner than he is. She exercises everyday. She doesn't eat much meat. She eats a lot of fruit and vegetables, because she thinks they are better for her health.
等一会儿, 英文老师还会用慢速度把整段文章念一遍. 现在我们先把今天测验 的三个问题念给你听.
第一个问题是:
M: What does Henry want to be?
第二个问题是:
M: What is Henry doing to get in shape again?
第三个问题是:
M: Compare Henry and Susan.
现在我们再听英文老师用慢速度把刚才那段文章念一遍, 请你特别注意刚才那 三个问题的答案.
