  How beautifully she sings! I have never heard _____ voice.

  A. a better              B. a best

  C. the better            D. the best

  【陷阱】容易误选D,认为最高级前要用定冠词。

  【分析】其实此题最佳答案为A,该句可视为…I have never heard a better voice than her voice 之省略,全句句意为“她唱得多好啊!我从未听过她这么好的声音”。请再看以下类似的实例:

  He is fine, never better. 他很好,比以往任何时候都好。

  This bird is really lovely. I’ve never seen a finer one. 这只鸟真可爱,我从未见过这样好看的鸟。

  比较以下试题,情形也大致相同:

  (1) “I’ve never found a better job.” “_______.”

  A. I don’t think so            B. Too bad

  C. Congratulations            D. Don’t worry

  答案选C,I’ve never found a better job可视为 I’ve never found a better job than this job 之省略,句意为:我从来没有找到比这份工作更好的工作,即这是我所找到的最好的工作。

  (2) “What do you think of the service here?” “Oh, ______. We couldn’t have found a better place.”

  A. too bad                  B. sorry

  C. wonderful                D. impossible

  答案选 C。We couldn’t have found a better place 可视为We couldn’t have found a better place than this place,其意为“我们不可能找到一个比这个地方更好的地方”,即“这是我们所能找到的最好的地方”。

  (3) Boris has brains. In fact, I doubt whether anyone in the class has _____IQ.

  A. a high                  B. a higher

  C. the higher               D. the highest

  答案选B,句意为“……我怀疑班上有没有哪个人比他智商更高”,即“我认为他可能是班上智商最高的”。

  (4) . How cold it is! We’ve never had ______ this winter.

  A. the colder day             B. a cold day

  C. the coldest day            D. a colder day

  答案选D。句意为“今年冬天我们还从未遇上过这样冷的日子”。
