一、how long, how soon, how often的比较
how long是问某个动作或状态延续了多久,用“(for+)时间段”来回答; how soon是问某个动词要过多久之后才发生或结束,用“in+时间段”来回答;how often是问某个动作每隔多久发生一次,或者一个单位时间里发生次数的多少,用“次数(如once, twice)+单位时间(如a day, a month)”或usually, sometimes等来回答。如:
How ________ can you finish the drawing? (全国卷)
A. often B. soon
C. long D. rapid
【分析】答案选B。句意是:过多久以后你才能画完?
二、no longer / more, not any…longer / more的比较
表示时间上的“不再”,no more通常放在句末,且一般只与非延续性动词go, come, see, return等连用,一般不用于系表结构中;no longer(一般位于行为动词之前或者be动词、情态动词、助动词之后)和更口语化的not…any longer / more既可与延续性动词连用也可与非延续性动词连用。如:
1. —Will you give this message to Mr White, please?
—Sorry, I can’t. He ________. (全国卷)
A. doesn’t any more work here B. doesn’t any longer her work
C. doesn’t work any more here D. doesn’t work here any longer
【分析】答案选D。any longer / more要位于句末。
2. —Excuse me, is this Mr Brown’s office?
—I’m sorry, but Mr Brown ________ works here. He left about three months ago. (全国卷)
A. not now B. no more
C. not still D. no longer
【分析】答案选D。在行为动词前要用no longer。
注:①涉及到数量时用no more。如:There is no more bread on the plate. (盘子里没有面包了。) ②no more还可表示“也不”,相当于neither或nor。如:He couldn’t lift the and no more could I. 他拿不动那张桌子,我也拿不动。
