4. 选择正确的比较级形式
She speaks English ______ (more fluently / fluenter) than me.

5. 选择正确的最高级形式
He runs ______ (the fastest / fastest) in our school.
答案:the fastest

答案:much
解析:much可以修饰比较级,表示程度;very不能修饰比较级,只能修饰原级,所以正确答案是much。
13. 选择正确的比较结构
______ (The more / More) you practice, ______ (the better / better) you will speak.
答案:The more; the better
