Long ago, there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well-known   1.  his knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man   2. (teach) his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great        3._  (patient).

One day, a student asked him, “My dear teacher, didn’t you say you yourself have many more questions about things than we do?   4. I think we students have far more than you.”

With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles, one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said, “Of course, I have learned much more. But it is wrong   5. (think) a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the   6. (big) one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is 7. (your). Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunities to face something   8. (know). And that’s   9._ I myself have more questions than you do. The   10. (much) you learn, the more questions you have. You will never learn enough, you know.”

10.more

【解析】

试题分析：通过本文故事告诉我们：活到老学到老。

1.for be well-known for因---而著名，故填for。

2.taught 此处是并列谓语，和后面的and answered并列，可知用一般过去时态，故填taught。

3.patience great修饰名词，故填patience。

4.But 句意：我认为我们学生比你有更多的问题。和上句联系可知此处表示转折，故填But。

5.to think 此处it做形式主语，动词不定式做真正的主语，故填to think。

6.bigger 根据前面的two circles可知后面是指“两个中更大的”，用the+比较级，故填bigger。

7.yours 句意：较小的那一个是你的。根据句意可知用名词性物主代词。故填yours。

8.unknown 根据句意可知“那意味着我有更多的机会去面对未知的东西”。故填unknown。

9.why 句意：那就是我为什么我自己比你有更多的问题。此处用why引导表语从句。

10.more 固定句式：the+比较级---，the+比较级---，越---就越---，故填more。

形容词比较级的用法和例子

1.同级比较

两个比较对象程度相同时,用“as+形容词原级+as的结构”例如： Tom is as tall as his brother.在这两种结构中,第一个as是副词,而第二个as是连词；在第二个as的后面接名词、句子或代词的主格（一般不要接代词的宾格）.例如：His bedroom is not as big as his sister's.

2.在比较级 + than的结构前可以加上某些副词类的词,以对其进行修饰,如：far（远）,even（甚至）,much（许多）,still（更,还）,a lot（许多）,a little / bit（一点）,rather（相当地）,等等.例如：She’s a little more out3.比较级中的两个特殊作用的结构是：

a. The + 比较级 + 句子,the + 比较级 + 句子 .它表示的意义是"越（怎么样就）越（怎么样）",在这个结构中的两个"比较级"不要求一定词性相同,它们各自的词性要依句子的需要而定.例如：The harder you work at your study, the better grades you will have. 你学习越努力,你的成绩就越好.

b. 比较级+ and + 比较级.它表示的意义是"越来越（怎么样）",在这个结构中的两个 "比较级"则要求词性相同.例如：Our country becomes more and more beautiful.

4. 比较对象中一方不及另一方时,用“not as(so)+形容词原级+as ”或“less+形容词原级+ than”的结构.

He is not as careful as his sister. == He is less careful than his sister.

== His sister is more careful than he.

5. 在两者之中选择“较为、、、 ” 的一个, 比较级之前加the.例如：Amy is the taller of the two girls.
