英语高考倍数表达练习（高中英语倍数表达法详解）

倍数表达法是历届高考的热点。当我们要表达甲是乙的几倍时，通常可使用以下句型：

1. 倍数 as 形容词或副词的原级 as 其它。这种结构又常演变成下列两类：

①倍数 as many 可数名词复数 as;

②倍数 as much 不可数名词 as。如：

There are seven times as many people as I expected.

是我预料的人数的七倍。

There is five times as much coffee in this glass as in that one.

这个杯子里的咖啡是那个杯子里的五倍。

2. 倍数 形容词（或副词）的比较级 than 其它。如：

The hall is five times bigger than our classroom.

这个大厅的面积比我们教师大五倍。

3. 计量名词 of 名词 be 倍数 that of 其它。如：

The size of the newly broadened square is four times that of the previous one.

新扩建的广场为以前的四倍大。

4. 倍数 what从句。如：

The production is now three times what it was ten years ago.

现在的产量是十年前的三倍。

5. 倍数 more 名词 than 其它。如：

There are nine times more books in his bag than in yours.

他书包里的书比你书包里的书多九倍。

6. 其它表达。如：

She's twice/double my age.

她的年龄是我的两倍。

The average income of the staff has been increased by 50 percent compared with last year.

与去年相比，该单位职工的收入已增加了50%。

He runs faster than me by three times.

他跑得比我快三倍。

【考查方向】

1）倍数在句中的位置一般放在第一个as前面或比较级前面或名词前面。

2）用times表示倍数时，一般只限于表示包括基数在内的三倍或三倍以上的数。表示两倍可以用twice或double,一倍用once.

【重点归纳】

除了我们初中所学的形容词的比较级的用法，本模块我们主要归纳几种句式结

（一）含倍数的比较句型

1. 倍数 as 形容词原级 as…。如：

This bridge is three times as long as that one.

His room is twice as big as mine;in other words,mine is only half as big as his.

【特别提醒】

“as…as”中间加入名词的句式：

●倍数 as 形容词 a/an 可数名词单数 as…

●倍数 as 形容词 可数名词复数/不可数名词 as…。如：

Last year my brother twice as big a new house as mine.

He has collected more than three times as many stamps as I (have).

I spent twice as much time on my studies as you did.

【难点点拨】

该结构的省略：通常省略形容词后面的名词及比较的部分。如：

I have to transfer(转乘）buses so I spend twice as much (money as others)for the bus every day.

2. 倍数 形容词比较级 than…。如：

This street is four times shorter than that one.

Fear of danger is ten thousand times more terrifying than danger itself.

【特别提醒】

倍数 形容词比较级 名词 than…。如：

He earns five times more money now than he did ten years ago.

There are three times more books in our library than in yours.

3. 另外，请注意下面两种说法：

(1) 倍数 what从句。如：

The length of the road is four times what it was three years ago.

(2) 倍数 that of 被比较对象。如：

Airmail charges almost twice or three times that of a normal mail.

（二）其它句式

1. "比较级 and 比较级"表示"越来越…"。如：

Things are getting better and better every day.

Our country is becoming more and more beautiful.

2. "the 比较级…，the 比较级…"表示“越…，就越…”。如：

The more you have, the more you want.

The more a man knows, the less he knows he knows.

【知识扩展】

在形容词比较级前可以加a little, a bit, a lot, no, any, much, far, even,still等副词组表示程度的加深。如：

The result is much better than we expected.

Actually, health is far more important than wealth.
