小结归纳　　

     从以上考题我们可以看出高考中对形容词和副词的比较等级的考查比较灵活，大部分是其基本用法的拓展。　　

1. 在原级比较中，as / so ... as之间选用形容词还是副词取决于该词所修饰的成分，题1中缺少动词define的修饰语，所以应选择副词；　　

2. 在比较级中，than从句常常省去谓语部分，只保留主语，如题2；　　

3. 形容词最高级的意义有时可以用比较级来表示，如题3；　　

4. 如果有明显的比较范围，则应考虑采用最高级形式，如题4中有“of all the songs he has written”这个范围，所以应选用最高级形式；　　

5. 可以修饰形容词或副词比较级的词有：a bit, a little, much, many, far, a lot, a great deal等，如题5。
