②We shouldn’t complain about being poor because many families are much    .(2010•01•安徽泗县一中检测)

A. better off           B. badly off

C. well off             D. worse off

①解析：选C。句意为:虽然他很穷，但是他看不起有钱人。badly off在句中意为“穷困的”。

②解析：选D。句意为：我们不应该抱怨贫穷，因为有许多家庭更加穷困。根据“贫穷”可以排除A、C两项，much修饰比较级，所以选D。

②With the electricity            , all the machines stopped.                      (原创)

A. cut off         B. cut down

②解析：选A。the electricity 与cut off之间呈被动关系，所以用“with+ sth.+ done”的结构。

so...that 如此……以至，在句中引导结果状语从句。 so 为副词，后跟形容词或副词。

易混辨析

so...that/such...that

so...that 中的so 为副词，后跟形容词或副词。

such...that中的such 为形容词，后跟名词(名词前可有形容词修饰)，当that前面有many, much, few, little等词修饰时，只能用so,不可以用such。

such; so         B. so; so         C. such; such        D. so; such

12. Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest steak.
