9、词及副词的比较级，由句意可知，很多中国学生认为外语比自然科学难学，从结构上可以看出 A、 C不符合比较级的结构，在肯定句中只能用 as.as,不能用 so.as，因此只能选 B 考点：形容词及副词的比较级 点评：学生在做题中一定要认真分析比较级及同级比较的结构， more/less+形容词 +than； as+形容词 /副词（原级） +as； not so/as+形容词 /副词（原级） +as,不要将他们之间的区别混淆了。 The students found _ easy to work out this maths problem. A it B this C that D him 答案：
10、 A 试题分析：此题重点考查代词辨析， this/that指示代词； him人称代词宾格； it在该句中作形式宾语，真正宾语是后面的不定式短语，意思：学生们发现做出这道数学题很简单，故选 A 考点：主要考查主语 +find it+adj+to do sth结构 点评：这个结构学生很容易和 it is+adj for sb to do sth混淆，分清 it 在句中所充当的成分，在该结构中 it 句中作形式主语，真正主语是后面的不定式短语，而本题中的 it 是形式宾语真正宾语是后面的不定式短语 New York is bigger than _ in Australia.

16、 sb some time to do sth;sb spend time on/doing sth,因此在做题时一定先审好题，看到 spend就应想到后跟 on或 doing sth Did you have nice holiday ？ Yes ， it was best holiday I， ve ever had.
