09. —Are you satisfied with his answer?

—Not at all. It couldn’t have been _________.

A. better                                   B. worse      

C. more                                    D. less

分析：此題最佳答案為B，關(guān)鍵是要理解 Not at all 的意思。根據(jù)上文語(yǔ)境，Not at all 為 I am not satisfied at all with his answer 之省略，即表示“我對(duì)他的回答一點(diǎn)也不滿意”，既然如此，他的回答當(dāng)然會(huì)是 couldn’t have been worse（不可能更糟）。值得注意的是，完成式的否定式與比較級(jí)連用有時(shí)可以表示最高級(jí)的意思，請(qǐng)看下面一道題：

How beautifully she sings! I have never heard _________ voice.

A. a better                                  B. a best    

C. the better                               D. the best

此題容易誤選D，認(rèn)為最高級(jí)前用定冠詞才是最佳的。其實(shí)此題最佳答案為A，該句可視為是下面這句的省略形式：…I have never heard a better voice than her voice. 全句句意為“她唱得多好啊！我從未聽(tīng)過(guò)她這么好的聲音”。請(qǐng)?jiān)倏磶讉�(gè)例子：

He is fine, never better. 他很好，比以往任何時(shí)候都好。

I've never seen a finer bird. 我從未見(jiàn)過(guò)比這更美的鳥(niǎo)。

I’ve never found a better job. 這是我找到的最好的工作。

10. —I _________ his telephone number.

—I have his number, but I _________ to bring my phone book.”

A. forget, forget                        B. forgot, forgot 

C. forget, forgot                        D. forgot, forget

分析：此題容易誤選A，認(rèn)為“忘記”是現(xiàn)在的事。仔細(xì)體會(huì)一下對(duì)話的語(yǔ)境：第一個(gè)人說(shuō)“我忘記他的電話號(hào)碼了”，這個(gè)“忘記”應(yīng)該是現(xiàn)在的事，即現(xiàn)在忘記了，要不然就沒(méi)有必要同對(duì)方說(shuō)此話了，故第一空應(yīng)填 forget；第二個(gè)人說(shuō)“我有他的號(hào)碼，但我忘記帶電話本了”，這個(gè)“忘記”應(yīng)該是過(guò)去的事，即過(guò)去忘記帶電話本，所以現(xiàn)在電話本不在身上(注意句中的轉(zhuǎn)折連詞 but)，故第二空應(yīng)填 forgot。請(qǐng)?jiān)倏匆焕��?/SPAN>

—Don’t you carry your address book?

—No, I _________ to bring it.

A. forget, forget                          B. forgot, forgot 

C. forget, forgot                          D. forgot, forget

答案選C，理由同上。
