24、etter one(个 更好的)是与前文 我知道这不是一个很适合的词”相呼应的。5.A。若选 B 或 C 均不合事实;若选 D,不合语法,因为 few 后要接可数名词的复数形式。6.B。从句意看,空格处应填比较级 bigger,因此排除 A 和 C。选项 B 与 D 的区别是,一个用了不定冠词,一个用了定冠词,两 者的区别是,不定冠词表泛指,定冠词表特指。7.D。由于是将有考试与没有考试作比较,所以应用比较级,不 用最高级,由此排除 A 和 C。选项 B 的错误在于用了 more happier 这样的双重比较级(即 more 后不能再加比较级)。8.A。由关键词No 可知,此处的意思是 不可
