【答案詳解】
1. B【解析】 “more than + 倍數詞 + as...as...”意為“是……的幾倍還不止”，three times 是倍數，more than 是修飾 three times 的，表示“比三倍還多”，故正確答案為 B。
2. A【解析】 “be getting more and more + 形容詞”表示“變得越來越……”，故正確答案為 A。
3. B【解析】 由 of the two girls 可知此處應用比較級，the taller 指“比較高的那個女孩”。
4. B【解析】 若兩個形容詞相互比較，則這兩個形容詞一律使用原級。not so...as... 表示“與其……倒不如……”。
5. B【解析】as...as ever 表示“與往常一樣……”，故正確答案為 B。
6. A【解析】 根據句意可知，這里是火車票與機票價格差不多，因此要用原級比較結構 as...as...，表示 “和……一樣……”，故正確答案為A。
7. D【解析】 let alone 是固定短語，意思是 “更不用說”，故正確答案為 D。
8. A【解析】as...as ever 意為“與往常一樣……”，故正確答案為 A。
9. C【解析】 much 可修飾比較級，因此 B、C 都說得通，但 harder 本身已是比較級，不需再加 more，故正確答案為 C。
10. A【解析】so...that... 意為“如此……以至于……”，故正確答案為 A。
