一、从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空。
pleasant slim average fact population
1. The temperature in July is 28℃ here.
2. Her smile made everyone feel at home.
3. Over half the in this city goes to work by subway.
4. The boy collected a lot of about the country before he wrote the history report.
5. My sister keeps by eating healthy food and doing enough exercise.

1.average
2.pleasant
3.population
4.facts
5.slim

1.“average”作形容词时，意为“平均的；普通的”，“the average temperature”表示“平均气温”，符合“这里七月份的平均气温是28℃”的语境，所以第一空填“average”。
2.“pleasant”是形容词，意为“令人愉快的”，“pleasant smile”表示“令人愉快的微笑”，符合“她令人愉快的微笑使每个人都感到自在”的语义，所以第二空填“pleasant”。
3.“population”作“人口”讲时，是不可数名词，“over half the population”表示“超过一半的人口”，符合“这个城市超过一半的人口乘地铁去上班”的语义，所以第三空填“population”。
4.“fact”是名词，“a lot of”后接可数名词复数或不可数名词，“fact”的复数形式“facts”，“a lot of facts”表示“许多事实”，符合“这个男孩在写历史报告之前收集了许多关于这个国家的事实”的语义，所以第四空填“facts”。
5.“keep”后接形容词，表示保持某种状态，“slim”是形容词，意为“苗条的”，“keep slim”表示“保持苗条”，符合“我妹妹通过吃健康的食物和做足够的运动来保持苗条”的语义，“slim”的变形在此处（保持原形）符合语法，所以第五空填“slim”。

二、用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
1. The movie star is much (funny) than that one.
2. Who has (many) books, Zhang Li or Li Ying?
3. I think maths is as (difficult) as physics.
4. Do you think you are (smart) than your brother?

1. funnier
2. more
3. difficult
4. smarter
5. faster
6. more colourful
7. more clearly
8. well
9. heavier
10. hotter

1. 句中有than，且much修饰比较级，funny的比较级是funnier。
2. 两者比较用比较级，many的比较级是more。
3. as...as中间用原级，difficult用原形。
4. 句中有than，smart的比较级是smarter。
5. 句中有than，fast的比较级是faster。
6. 句中有than，colourful的比较级是more colourful。
7. 两者比较用比较级，clear的比较级是more clearly，这里修饰动词read用副词，clear的副词是clearly，比较级是more clearly。
8. as...as中间用原级，good的副词是well，这里修饰动词did用well，原级是well。
9. 句中有than，heavy的比较级是heavier。
10. 两者比较用比较级，hot的比较级是hotter。

三、根据汉语意思翻译下列句子,每空一词。
1. 保罗和杰克工作一样努力。
Paul works Jack.
2. 比尔比他堂弟外向些。
Bill is his cousin.
3. 我们班上的女孩比五班的女孩唱得好些。
The girls in our class sang the ones in Class Five.
4. 中国的人口比澳大利亚的人口多。

5. 他和他姐姐一样友好吗？
Is he his sister?

1. as hard as
2. more outgoing than
3. better than
4. population; larger than that
5. as friendly as

1. "as hard as" 用于同级比较，"努力"对应副词"hard"。
2. "more outgoing than"，"外向的"outgoing是多音节词，比较级加more，后接than。
3. "better than"，"唱得好"用副词well，比较级为better。
4. "population; larger than that"，人口多用"large"，比较级larger，用that指代前面的population。
5. "as friendly as"，形容词friendly用于同级比较，as...as结构。
