【答案与解析】
1. C。根据题意可知，说话者是将when people do it together和when people don’t do it together这两种情况比较，故选比较级。注意不要选D，因为在此题是要用副词修饰动词，不能用形容词。另外，根据句末的higher too也可知道此题是考查比较级。
2. D。首先，根据连系动词后要接形容词作表语这一特点，可排除A和C。另外，使役动词make后可接动词原形(不带to的不定式)或过去分词作宾语补足语，但不能接现在分词，故可排除选项B。
3. D。take sth seriously的意思是“认真对待某事”“认真考虑某事”。
4. C。副词narrowly在此表示“勉强地”，又如：He narrowly escaped being run over. 他差点儿被车压死。 The proposal to change the rules was narrowly defeated by 201 votes to 196. 建议改变规则的提议以196票对201票的微弱差额被否决了。本题句意：篮球赛的最后比分是93比94。我们以微弱的劣势输掉了比赛。
5. B。因题目把这组新学生与前面一组学生进行比较，故用比较级。
6. B。注意句中的Yes，由于答话者对问话者的“你需要帮助吗?”作了肯定回答，说明答话者独自完成工作有困难，故填more than。
7. C。由于是将“Love me, love my dog”与“Love me, love my book”进行比较，故用比较级。此题的巧妙之处在于句中没有出现than，而是给出两个待比较的proverb。
8. B。句子大意为：由于铁路提速了，所以高速公路和航空业要提高服务质量来竞争客源。因将“高速公路和航空”与“铁路”比较，故用比较级。
9. B。题目中将“放入冰箱中冷冻”与“不放入冰箱中冷冻”作比较，故用比较级。句意为：史密斯家人晚餐时上的甜瓜若能放入冰箱中冷冻一下味道会更好些。
10. B。这四个副词中，通常只有far可用于修饰比较。注：quite有时也可用于修饰比较better，但它只用于表示“身体康复”，不用于其他意义。
11. C。因为是从他所写的所有歌中选出一首来比较，故用最高级(from www.yygrammar.com)。
12. B。因是两者比较，故用比较级，可将答案锁定在B和C之间;再根据句意，排除C。
13. D。此题考查more…than…的用法，其意为“与其说……不如说……”。
14. D。句中的no better than相当于as badly as，其意为“一样不好”。
15. A。that在用作副词，用法相当于so，意为“如此，这么”。
16. C。在as…as…结构中，表示倍数的词或程度副词都放在第一个as之前。
17. A。语序：不定代词 + 指示代词 + 序数词 + 基数词。
18. A。此题考查can’t be too + adj，其意为“无论……也不为过”。
19. A。因为likely是形容词，意为“可能的”，在句中作表语。easily和nearly是副词;虽然lonely(寂寞的)是形容词，但其意义与句意不通。
20. C。因为只有regularly(经常地)才与now and then(偶尔)相对。
21. C。merely在此表示“只是”，其他选项意义不通。
22. A。因为It couldn’t be any worse. 意为“(他的工作做得)非常差”，与后文内容相符。
23. A。因为too…to do sth. (太…以至于不能做…) 是固定搭配。
24. A。由答语No, it’s worse.可知问句中用better。
25. B。后面省略了than he did，意为“我今年还没看到比他跑得更好成绩的人”。
