答案与解析：
1. B。such 是形容词，后接名词，其结构是：such a / an +adj.+单数可数名词，such +adj.+不可数名词或复数可数名词；so 是副词，后接形容词，其结构有：so+ adj.+ a / an +单数可数名词，so+ many / much (多) / little / few(少)+名词。
2. B。根据“限定词+形容词”的原则，排除 C 和 D。又根据“序数词(包括last, past, next, another 等)+基数词(包括 few, several 等)”的顺序排除A。若能记得课文中出现的 in the last / past few years，那就更容易了。
3. D。表示大雨大雪，用 heavily。另有 breath / drink heavily 呼吸困难 / 狂喝暴饮；heavy drinker / smoker 酒鬼 / 烟鬼。
4. D。sure 暗示要选其同义词 certain。句意为“等到更有把握，有把握总比后悔好。”
5. A。考查 enough 修饰形容词的位置。
6. C。他的 plays 与 stories 相比，plays 更为出名。
7. D。especially(特别是), extremely(极端地), naturally(自然地), basically(基本上)。
8. C。enough 修饰形容词时要位于形容词之后，排除 B 和 D。brave enough to?构成形容词短语，修饰 students，形容词短语作定语位于名词之后。
9. D。as many / much +n. +as。2003年北京卷的第32题，就是模仿此题而出的，请看(答案是 B)：Our neighbor has _______ours. (A. as a big house as / B. as big a house as / C. the same big house as / D. a house the same big as)。
10. B。这个班的任何一人与 Boris 相比，用比较级，排除 A 和 D；比较级后有名词，要用冠词，不是特指不用 the。
11. D。表示“(两者中)较…的那一个”时，用“the+比较级”。
12. D。be curious about 对…好奇 / 有兴趣，be interested in 对…感兴趣，be anxious about 担忧…，be upset about 对…心烦意乱。
13. B。all over 到处、浑身。
14. A。否定谓语加比较级表示最高级含义，“不可能有比这更糟的答案了”。
15. D。由关键词 cheerful(欢乐的)可知，他们正在进行一次 friendly(友好的)讨论。
16. A。more than 后接数词意为“多于(=over)”。more than 有时还有“不只是(=not only)”“非常、十分(=very, extremely)”之意。如 She’s more than kind to us.(她对我们非常友好。)
17. B。“倍数+the weight / size / width / length 等+of”是倍数表达方式之一；若 D 中 heavier 改为 heavy 也对。
18. C。注意比较对象的一致性，主任给我提供的条件比主任给 Dick 提供的条件好些。
19. B。句意为“你站得离镜头太近，可以离远一点吗？”因此用比较级；又a bit of 后接名词，不修饰比较级。
20. D。the largest island in the world 是 Greenland 的同位语。若将答案 B 的that 改为 which 也对。
21. D。“倍数(twice / three times / ?+as+原级+as”是倍数的表达方式之一。此处后面省略 as I paid at home。
22. B。normal 正常的，正规的；ordinary 普通的；common 共同的，常见的；usual 平常的。
23. B。second to none=the best 比谁都好，首屈一指。由关键词 but 可知，选 hardly=only just(刚刚)。
24. D。由 surprised 可知那个“骗局、花招(trick)”是如此“简单(simple)”。
25. A。因感到很冷紧靠母亲站着，指实际距离近，用副词 close；选项中还可以作副词的 closely 一般指抽象意义，如 listen closely(仔细听)。
26. D。pleased 一般指“(人)感到高兴”，pleasant 一般是指“(事物)令人愉快的”。
27. C。“两个人都不会游泳”这实属不幸(unfortunately)。
28. A。present 出席的、在场的(与 absent 相对)。
29. B。考查短语the same … as，其中的mine相当于my height。
