知识点1:不用Than的比较
并不是所有的形容词表示比较时都用than，英语中有几个以-or结尾源于拉丁语的形容词，由于其原级已具有比较的含义，在表示比较时不用than，而用to。这类形容词不多，计有：anterior / prior to（先于），posterior to （在……之后），superior to（优于），inferior to（劣于），junior to（年幼于），senior to（年长于）。
【例如】
This task is prior to all others.
He thinks he is superior to his classmates because his father is a very important people.
The Red Army was inferior in equipment but superior in morale to the enemy.

这样一道题：

[3]as well as,as well,相关知识点 as well as/ as wellⅠ. as well as “也”“不仅…而且”意同：not only … but also具有连词性。① She is my friend as well as my doctor. 他不仅是我的医生，也是我的朋友。② Small towns as well as big cities are being industrialized
A. no better B. not better C. no good D. not good
此题应选B。容易误选A。这是一个省略句，其中的 ifnot better than＝if he doesn't play football better than。全句意为：吉姆踢足球如果不是比迈克踢得更好，至少也是一样好。
