D 。由于是將有考試與沒有考試作比較，所以應用比較級，不用最高級，由此排除A和C。選項B的錯誤在于用了 more happier這樣的雙重比較級（即 more 后不能再加比較級）。8. A。由關鍵詞No可知，此處的意思是 不可能比這更差的（worse ）了”。9. C。 more 不可修飾比較級，排除 B 和 D。 greater.than others表示的是最高級意義，故后面用最高

37、是負面的，故選A。no better than表示與一樣的不好，與一樣的差”之意。句意是：他做新工作與以前工作一樣差。 他太笨了，我擔心他沒什么希望了。18. A 。 I've never seen a finer one的實際意思是 This is the finestI,one I 've ever seen。19. C 。因為 more than 與形容詞連用，意為 “非常”。20.
