2013年托福考试语法讲解考点:the more…,the more…

the more…,the more…
  此句式常表示“越……越……”,more在此处泛指比较级,此句式的特点是前后两句以逗号隔开,句子结构平行,而且谓语动词一致时,为避免重复常进行省略,
  如:The more she slept, the less comfortable she felt.
  The greater the size, the easier it is for you to spot.
  填空题中常需填入两个分句之一,因此看到the more结构,要注意选与其结构相近的另一半the more句式
  例题:
  (1)
  The greater the population there is in a locality, ----for water, transportation, and disposal of refuse.
  (A) the greater the need there is
  (B) greater need 外语学习
  (C) is there great need
  (D) the great need
  答案:A
  解释:这是典型的 “the more…,
  the more…” 句式, 意为 “越…, 越…” 其逗号前后两部分结构要平行, 而且后一句可以不倒装, A 完全符合要求. C D 都缺少此固定句式所要求的第二个比较级; B 少定冠词the. 此句亦可改写为: If there is greater population in a locality, there will be greater need for water, transportation, and disposal of refuse.
  (2)
  The less the surface of the ground yields to the weight of the body of a runner, ---- to the body.
  (A) the stress it is greater
  (B) greater is the stress
  (C) greater stress is
  (D) the greater the stress
  答案:D
  解释:此句涉及比较级的特殊句式the more..., the more..., 此句式要求前后结构平行,当谓语一致时,后面的可省略,符合要求的只有D
