考點四 most的其他用法
對于most來講，除了構(gòu)成某些詞最高級外，most的用法有幾點需要注意，經(jīng)常成為改錯題的考點：
1． 當(dāng)most表示大多數(shù)時，之前不加the, 并且有兩種形式來表示大多數(shù)，分別為：
most + 名詞，如：most people, most Indian tribes；
most + of + 限定詞 + 名詞或代詞，如：most of his paintings，most of us, most of the modern artists
2. most有時意思等同于very, 此時most之前用不定冠詞，如：
a most lovely girl, a most impressive proposal
例題：
(1)
The most substances expand in volume when they are heated.
應(yīng)改為：Most
解釋：most只有在表示形容詞最高級作定語時需加定冠詞，此句表示“大多數(shù)”，沒必要加the.
(2)
The most often flour is made from wheat, but it may also be made from the seeds of other cereal plants.
應(yīng)改為：most.
解釋：the most 一般出現(xiàn)在最高級中, 此句most often為固定說法,意為經(jīng)常
詞匯：cereal: 谷類的
