Traffic is heavy and the price of oil is much ______ so that many people go to work by bus instead.
A.higherB.highC.more expensiveD.expensive
A

试题分析:higher更高的;high高的;more expensive更贵的;expensive贵的.句意:交通很拥挤,油价更高,因此许多人反而乘公交车上班.英语中长用high和low来表示价格的高低,结合语境可知前文表示的是和交通状况的对比,故用形容词的比较级做定语,选A.
点评:英语单词同汉语一样具有一词多义,一词多性的特点。解答此类问题首先要理解每个选项的基本含义,并注意交叉含义间的区别,了解其特殊用法,然后结合语境选择正确答案。英语中在表示两个事物进行对比时,一般用比较级结构,常见搭配结构为比较级+than,但是当比较范围确定在两个事物之间时,即使句子结构有所不同也用比较级。也就是说,只要是两个事物进行对比,不管什么结构都用比较级。
