Youprobablyknowthebasicsofhowcomparatives(比较级)andsuperlatives(最高级)workintheEnglishlanguage.Whencomparingsomething,youoftenaddan"-er"totheendofthecomparativeadjective.Thegeneralruleisthatone-syllable(音节)wordsgetthesuffix(后缀),andpolysyllabicwordsget"more"or"most."Thatis,unlessthetwo-syllablewordendsina"y";ifthat'sthecase,youwilladdthesuffixesandchangethe"y"toan"i".

Thecomparativesandsuperlativesofadjectives.【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英语形容词比较级和最高级中，单词fun的比较级和最高级变化规则而展开。告诉了我们单词fun词性的历史演变，英语充满了不确定的语法规则;没有必要仅仅因为我们过去不像现在这样使用一个词就认为它违反了语言的一般规则。（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Thegeneralruleisthatone-syllablewordsgetthesuffix,andpolysyllabicwordsget'more'or'most.'"一般规则是单音节单词词尾添加后缀，多音节单词则需要添加"more"或"most"。可知在英语比较级和最高级中，在多音节形容词前加"more"或"most"。故选C。（2）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的”Untiltheearly19thcentury,itwasmostlyjustanoun,anditgaineditsmeaningas"amusement"inthe18thcentury.Butasearlyasthe1800s,peoplebeganusingitasanadjective,thewaywe'ddescribe"afuntime"or‘afunplace“today.”直到19世纪早期，它还只是一个名词，到了18世纪才有了"娱乐"的含义。但早在19世纪，人们就开始把它用作形容词，我们今天用它来形容"有趣的时间"或"有趣的地方"。可知过去的人们不习惯使用"funner"或"funnest"，部分原因是这个词最初用作名词。故选C。（3）考查主旨大意。根据第二段中的“Butwhatabouttheword"fun"?Thissimpleadjectiveonlyhasonesyllable,soyou'dthinkyou'daddsuffixesonittocreatesuperlatives.”但是"乐趣"这个词呢?这个简单的形容词只有一个音节，所以你会认为你应该在它上面加上后缀来创造最高级。以及倒数第二段中的“Sotheyalsoagreethattheanswerto"isfunneraword?"isyes.”所以他们对"funner是一个词吗?"的说法是肯定的。本文主要内容都是围绕着fun的比较级和最高级变化规则展开论述，故A选项"funner是一个词吗？"符合文章主旨。故选A。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和主旨大意两个题型的考查，是一篇文化知识类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。8．阅读理解
