If you want to change for a double room you'll have to pay ____ $15.
A.another B.other C.more D.each
該句的意思是“如果要換一個雙人間,你還需再付15美元”。從題干“change for”可知已訂過房間,現(xiàn)在要換只需再加15美元就行了。備選項D的意思是“每個”,不符合題意,A、B、C都可修飾數(shù)詞,表“額外的、另外的”意思,它們之間的差別在于修飾數(shù)詞的位置不同,這也正是本題的考查重點,現(xiàn)對another,other,more的這種用法歸納如下:
一、another
another表“另一個”時只跟可數(shù)名詞單數(shù),而表“另外的、額外的、附加的”之意時,可跟帶有few或具體數(shù)字的復數(shù)名詞,此時可把“數(shù)詞+復數(shù)名詞”看作是一個整體。如:
1.—Have you finished your report yet?
—你的報告完了嗎?
—No,I will finish it in 10 minutes.
—沒有,還需10分鐘。
A.another B.other C.more D.less
(NMET'95第27題key:A)
2.The strike may last another three days.罷工可能還要持續(xù)三天。
3.There is room for another few people in the back of the bus.公共汽車后面還能坐下幾個人。
4.I'll be here for another few weeks.我在這兒還要呆幾個禮拜。
二、other
表“另外的”接復數(shù)名詞,如與具體數(shù)詞連用,則置于數(shù)詞之后,但與定冠詞the連用時,other要放在數(shù)詞前。如:
1.Tony is going camping with ____boys next Sunday.托尼將于下周日與另外兩個男孩一起去野營。
A.little two other B.two little other
C.two other little D.little other two
(NMET'93.第11題key:C)
2.Mr Smith asked me to fetch three other recorders.史密斯先生讓我再拿三臺錄音機來。
3.Do you know where he found the other two photos?你知道他是在哪兒找到另外兩張照片的呢?
三、more
1.more一般位于數(shù)詞之后名詞前,有時也可置于名詞之后。如:
(1)She has got five more electric fans.她還有五臺電扇。
(2)One more step(One step more),and I'll shoot you.再走一步,我就開槍打死你。
(3)Where shall we be in ten more years?再過十年,我們會在什么地方呢?
2.more除跟數(shù)詞外,還可與a little,a few,a lot,several等詞連用,而且名詞也可是不可數(shù)名詞。如:
(1)I'd like to buy a few more copies of English Weekly.我想再買幾份《英語周報》。
(2)There are many more dictionaries on the desk.課桌上有許多詞典。
(3)Would you like some more tea?再喝點茶好嗎?
四、名詞省略
如果前后意思清楚,another或more后面的名詞可以省去。如:
1.I climbed the stairs slowly,carrying a big suitcase,my father following with two more.我拎著一個大手提箱,所以爬樓梯很慢。父親跟在后面,拎著另外兩個手提箱。(NMET2000完形填空正文首句)
2.I have had one cup of coffee,but I'd like another.我喝了一杯咖啡,還想再來一杯。
3.I should like to have many more(books).我想多要幾本書。
從以上分析,我們不難看出NMET2000第16題應該選A。
