考点四 the more…，the more…
此句式常表达“越……越……”，more在这里特指比较级，此句式的特性是前后左右几句以逗号分隔，语句结构平行，并且谓语动词一致时，为防止反复常开展省略，
如：The more she slept, the less comfortable she felt.
The greater the size, the easier it is for you to spot.
填空中常会需填写2个分句之一，因而见到the more结构，要留意选两者之间结构相仿的另一半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
(C) is there great need
(D) the great need
回答：A
解释：它是典型性的 “the more…,
the more…” 句式, 意为 “越…, 越…” 其逗号前后左右两一部分结构要平行, 并且后一句可以不倒装, A 彻底符合规定. C D 都缺乏此固定不动句式所规定的第二个比较级; B 少定冠词the. 此句也可以改变为: 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
回答：D
解释：此句涉及到比较级的独特句式the more..., the more..., 此句式规定前后左右结构平行，当宾语一致时，后边的可省略，符合规定的只能D
考点五 no longer /not…any longer
no longer /not…any longer和no more/not…any more都表达“已不……”,
如：He no longer smokes. / He doesn’t smoke any longer.
留意no longer /not…any longer不必互用，no more /not…any more同样，这一句式在改错题中出現。
例题：
(1)
Although it is any longer the big business that it was in the forties, radio continues to be a medium of essential communication, especially at the local level.
应改成：no longer.
解释：依据句意这里应为否认“已不是 ．．．”，英语中有二种方法表述此意, no longer / not...any longer, 此句只有选用前面一种, 若用后面一种词序应为: it is not the big business that it was in the forties any longer
