托??荚嚕簃ost的不同用法

 most的其他用法
    對于most來講,除了構(gòu)成某些詞最高級外,most的用法有幾點(diǎn)需要注意,經(jīng)常成為改錯題的考點(diǎn):
    1. 當(dāng)most表示大多數(shù)時,之前不加the, 并且有兩種形式來表示大多數(shù),分別為:
    most + 名詞,如:most people, most Indian tribes;
    most + of + 限定詞 + 名詞或代詞,如:most of his paintings,most of us, most of the modern artists
    2. most有時意思等同于very, 此時most之前用不定冠詞,如:
    a most lovely girl, a most impressive proposal
    例題:
    (1)
    The most substances expand in volume when they are heated.
    應(yīng)改為:Most
    解釋:most只有在表示形容詞最高級作定語時需加定冠詞,此句表示“大多數(shù)”,沒必要加the.
    (2)
    The most often flour is made from wheat, but it may also be made from the seeds of other cereal plants.
    應(yīng)改為:most.
    解釋:the most 一般出現(xiàn)在最高級中, 此句most often為固定說法,意為經(jīng)常
    詞匯:cereal: 谷類的
