  11. One of the longest mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic.

  本句中的 longest与课文前几段中出现的narrowest,saltiest,deepest一样,都是形容词的更高级形式。因为这几个词是单音节词或是以元音结尾的双音节词,所以,更高级的构成是在词尾加-est.对于大部分两个音节以上的形容词,更高级的构成是在形容词前面加most.请看例句:

  1) He wants to make everybody believe that he is the happiest person in the world.

  (他想使每一个人相信他是世界上更幸福的人。)

  2) This is the strongest horse I have ever seen.(这是我所见过的更强壮的马。)

  6) 这本书是三本书中更有意思的。(This book is the most interesting of the three.)

  4) arouse 及物动词 (唤醒;激起,引起)
