2012届高考英语语法精品学案：专题四 形容词与副词

‎ ‎ 形容词与副词是高考考查的热点，高考英语中单项填空、完形填空、书面表达，任何一项题目中都有可能涉及形容词等级、辨析和在句中的位置。关于形容词与副词这一考点，主要考查以下几个方面：在具体的语境中考查形容词词义辨析；考查形容词作状语；考查比较级的用法尤其是隐性比较；考查一些习语搭配；与形容词同形的副词和形容词后加ly构成的副词的区别；多个形容词作定语时的排列顺序等。 ‎ 一、形容词、副词的主要功能 ‎1． 形容词在句中主要作定语、表语和补语，但有时也作状语，表示伴随、原因等。如：‎ ‎ We find the boy considerate. (宾补)‎ ‎ He walked in the snow, cold and hungry. (伴随状语)‎ ‎ Afraid of difficulties, they took the easy road. (原因状语)‎ ‎2． 副词作状语主要是用作修饰性状语、评注性状语及连接性状语。其中后两种状语是现在考查的重点。如：‎ ‎ He spoke English fairly fluently. (修饰性状语)‎ ‎ Fortunately, none of them was hurt. (评注性状语)‎ ‎ His first response was to say no. Later, however, he changed his mind. (连接性状语)‎ ‎ 注意：‎ ‎(1) 形容词作状语是形容主语的性质，而副词作状语则修饰动词。如：‎ ‎ He walked home slowly. 他慢慢地步行回家了。‎ ‎ He arrived home, hungry and tired. 他到家时又累又饿。‎ ‎(2) 有些副词像fortunately, luckily, surprisingly, honestly, actually, personally ‎ 等作评注性状语往往修饰整个句子，对整个句子进行说明或解释，表示说话人对话语的态度与看法。通常位于句首，常用逗号与句子分开。如：‎ ‎ Surprisingly, no one in the class could work out the problem. ‎ ‎ Personally, I don't think he will interview you. ‎ (3) 还有些副词起连接作用，使前后句构成某种逻辑上的衔接。常见的有： ‎ 意义 ‎ 例词 ‎ 表示列举和顺序 ‎ first(ly)，second(ly), then, next, finally, last ‎ 表示意义增补和引申 ‎ also，besides，furthermore，moreover ‎ 表示意义等同 ‎ equally, similarly ‎ 表示结果 ‎ therefore, thus, consequently ‎ 表示换个说法 ‎ rather, alternatively ‎ 表示意义转折 ‎ instead，though, yet, however ‎ 表示让步 ‎ anyhow, anyway ‎ 表示时间过度 ‎ meanwhile, meantime ‎ I am wrong. Similarly, you are to blame. 我错了。同样地，你也该受到谴责。‎ ‎ Seize the chance. Otherwise you'll regret it. 抓住这个机会，否则你会后悔的。‎ ‎ They are enjoying themselves. (Or) Rather, they appear to be enjoying themselves. 他们正玩得很开心，更精确地说，他们好像正玩得很开心。‎ ‎ He forgot to turn on the radio and thus missed the program. 他忘了打开收音机， 因此错过了那个节目。‎ ‎ It may snow, but anyhow I will go to town. 可能下雪，但我无论如何要进城。‎ He said he would come; he didn't, though. ‎ ‎ 他说他要来，可是并没有来。‎ ‎ Mother went shopping; meanwhile, I cleaned the house. ‎ ‎ 母亲去买东西；我打扫屋子。‎ 二、形容词的位置 ‎1． 形容词作定语通常前置，但在下列情况后置：‎ ‎(1) 形容词短语作定语，定语后置。如：‎ ‎ a language difficult to master, a leaning tower about 180 feet high ‎(2) 表语形容词(alike，alone，asleep，awake，alive等)作定语，定语后置。如：a man alive。有些表身体健康状况的形容词，如：well，faint，ill只作表语。sick既可作表语又可作定语，ill若作定语意为“bad”。‎ ‎(3) 用作定语，修饰由不定代词one，any，some和every构成的复合词，如anything，something等时，通常后置。如：‎ ‎ I have something important to tell you. ‎ ‎(4) else常用作疑问代词和不定代词的后置定语。‎ ‎2． 多个形容词及限定词等修饰同一个名词的顺序：‎ ‎ ‎ 限定词 ‎ 数词 形容词 ‎ 名词 冠词前的形容词 ‎ 冠词、指示代词、名词所有格等 ‎ 序数词 ‎ 基数词 ‎ 性质状态 ‎ 大小长短形状 颜色 国籍出版 材料质地 作用类别 all both the a this first next one four beautiful good large short new old Chinese eastern silk stone medical writing ‎ such ‎ another your ‎ poor ‎ square a beautiful small round old yellow French wooden study room ‎ 口诀巧记：限定描绘大长高，形状年龄和新老，颜色国籍跟材料，作用类别往后靠。‎ ‎(1) The husband gave his wife ____________ every month in order to please her. ‎ ‎ A．income all his B．his all income ‎ C．his income all D．all his income ‎ 【解析】 D　考查多个限定词的词序。all前位限定； his中位限定。‎ ‎(2) The ___________________ house smells as if it hasn't been lived in for years. ‎ ‎ A．little white wooden B．little wooden white ‎ C．white wooden little D．wooden white little ‎ 【解析】 A　考查多个形容词修饰同一中心词的词序： 大小 ＋ 颜色 ＋ 材料。‎ 三、副词的分类 ‎ 英语里的副词分为9类：时间、地点、方式、频率、程度、连接、关系、疑问和句子副词。常见的有：‎ ‎1． 时间副词 ‎ 常见的时间副词有now, then, soon, ago, recently, lately, later, finally, before, early, today, tomorrow, yesterday, tonight, suddenly, immediately，already, just 等。‎ ‎2． 地点副词 ‎ 常见的地点副词有here, there, up, down, away, nearby, home, ahead, abroad, indoors, overseas, halfway, upstairs, downstairs 等。‎ ‎3． 频率副词 ‎ 频率副词表示动作发生的次数，常见的有ever, never, rarely, seldom, once, often, occasionally, constantly, frequently, usually, continually, always 等。‎ ‎4． 程度副词 ‎ 程度副词用于表示程度，常见的有 fairly, pretty, rather, quite, very, much, too, greatly, almost, nearly, half, highly, awfully, deeply, partly, perfectly, really 等。‎ ‎5． 连接副词 ‎ 常见的连接副词有therefore, besides, otherwise, however, moreover，thus, meanwhile, when, why, where, how 等。‎ ‎6． 句子副词 ‎ 句子副词用于修饰句子(而不是修饰某个单词)，反映说话人的观点和看法，如 actually, certainly, clearly, definitely, evidently, fortunately, frankly, honestly, luckily, obviously, perhaps, possibly, probably, surely, undoubtedly, unexpectedly 等。‎ 四、兼有两种形式的副词 ‎ 有些副词有两种形式，一种形式是在形容词后加ly，另一种形式同该形容词，即“形、副同形”，但其意义有很大差别， 这类词主要有：‎ ‎1． 不加ly表示具体概念，加ly表示抽象概念或用于比喻意义。 ‎ high空间高度 The plane was flying high. ‎ ‎ highly高度地，非常地 I think highly of your opinion.‎ ‎ 注意短语：aim high 心怀大志，志向高远 ‎ deep空间深度 He pushed the stick deep into the mud. ‎ ‎ deeply深深地 Even father was deeply moved by the film.‎ ‎ 注意搭配：deep into the night到深夜 ‎ wide空间宽度 He opened the door wide. ‎ ‎ widely广泛地，普遍地 English is widely used in the world.‎ ‎ 注意短语：be wide awake 完全清醒 ‎ close 接近地，紧紧地 He is sitting close to me. ‎ ‎ closely 仔细地，严密地 Watch him closely. ‎ ‎2．两种形式，词义差别较大 late晚，迟 You have come too late. ‎ lately 最近What have you been doing lately(＝recently)？‎ free免费You can eat free in my restaurant whenever you like.‎ freely 自由地You may speak freely； say what you like.‎ most 很，非常，最 He is most kind to me. ‎ mostly 主要地，大部分 She is mostly at home on Sundays.‎ hard 努力地 Think harder. ‎ hardly 几乎不，简直不 I can hardly understand you. ‎ 专题四 │ 正面解读 五、形容词和副词比较等级的基本句型 ‎1． as＋adj./adv.原级＋as ‎ not as/ so＋adj./adv.原级＋as ‎ 注意：当as…as 中间有名词时采用以下格式。‎ ‎ This is as good an example as the other is. ‎ ‎＝ This is an example as good as the other is. ‎ ‎2． adj./adv.比较级＋than ‎ You are taller than I. ‎ 注意：‎ ‎ 比较级后面跟有名词时，有时需要加适当的冠词。‎ ‎ Tom is the taller of the two brothers. ‎ ‎ I have never read a better story. ‎ ‎3． the ＋ 最高级 ＋ of/ among＋ 同类名词/ in ＋范围、地点等名词/定语从句(…have ever…)‎ ‎ This cake is the most delicious of all/ in the shop/ I have ever had. ‎ 注意：‎ ‎(1) 当没有比较的范围时，most表示非常，相当于very，此时没有比较概念。‎ ‎ Steel is most useful / a most useful material in industry. ‎ ‎(2) “否定词语＋比较级”，“否定词语＋ so…as”结构表示最高级含义。‎ ‎ Nothing is so easy as this. ‎ ‎＝ Nothing is easier than this. ‎ ‎＝ This is the easiest thing. ‎ ‎ We couldn't feel better. ‎ ‎4． the ＋比较级…， the＋比较级…越……，越……‎ ‎ The more practice you do, the fewer mistakes you will make. ‎ ‎5． 比较级＋ and＋比较级 越来越……‎ ‎ The weather is getting warmer and warmer. ‎ 六、比较级和最高级的修饰词 ‎1． almost, exactly, just, quite, nearly, half, twice 等词可以用来修饰as…as结构。‎ ‎2． much, many(只能在比较级后是可数名词复数时使用)，far, by far, a lot, a great deal, rather, a bit, a little, even, still, yet，no, twice等词可以修饰more than比较级。‎ ‎3． by far, almost, nearly, much，first等词可以修饰最高级。‎ ‎ This problem is exactly as important as that one. ‎ ‎ Mike is much / a lot/ far/ a little stronger than John. ‎ ‎ He has much more money than me but I have many more books than him. ‎ ‎ My father is two inches taller than me/ taller than me by two inches. ‎ ‎ Today is even/ still/ yet colder.‎ ‎ I can't go any farther.＝I can go no farther.‎ ‎ This hat is by far the biggest.‎ ‎ The Yellow River is the second longest river in China. ‎ 七、表达倍数的常用句型结构 ‎1． A is three/four…times the size/height/length/width…of B．或The size/height/length/width of A is three/four…times that of…如：‎ ‎ The newly broadened square is four times the size of the previous one. ‎ ‎ 新扩建的广场是未扩建时的四倍大。 ‎ ‎2． A is three/four…times as big/high/long/wide…as B．如：‎ ‎ This tree is three times as tall as that one. ‎ ‎ 这棵树是那棵树的三倍高。‎ ‎3． A is three/four…times bigger/higher/longer/wider…than B．如：‎ ‎ The dictionary is exactly five times more expensive than that one. ‎ ‎ 这本字典比那本恰好贵5倍。‎ ‎ 注意：用times表示倍数时，一般只限于三倍或三倍以上的数，表示两倍常用twice或double。‎ 八、特殊结构和固定搭配 ‎ 形容词和副词有许多特殊结构和固定搭配，归纳与考点有密切联系的部分如下：‎ ‎1． too…to句型的两个意义 ‎(1) 表示否定意义，意为“太……而不能”。如：‎ ‎ This question is too hard for me to understand. ‎ ‎ 这个问题太难，我理解不了。‎ ‎ The flower is too beautiful to last. 花太美，难经久。‎ ‎(2) 表示肯定意义，意为“非常，很，极”。当too后面接easy, ready, eager, willing, thankful, delighted等形容词时，too表示“很，非常”之意，与very表达“很”的意思相同。当too前有all, but, only等词时，形成only too/all too…to do结构，仍旧表达“非常，很，极”之意。如：‎ I'm too glad to hear the news. ‎ ‎ 听到这个消息我非常高兴。‎ ‎ He's only too pleased to pick her up.‎ ‎ 他非常高兴去接她。‎ ‎ They are but too glad to see me.‎ ‎ 他们非常高兴来看我。‎ ‎2． A is to B what C is to D. 意为“A对于B就如C对于D。”如：‎ ‎ Engines are to machines what hearts are to animals.‎ ‎ 发动机对于机器就如心脏对于动物。‎ ‎3． than的习惯短语 ‎(1) more than意为“超过，多于；十分，非常；不仅仅”。如：‎ ‎ I was more than surprised at his sudden arrival. ‎ ‎ 对他的突然到来我非常吃惊。‎ ‎(2) more…than意为“与其……不如”。如：‎ ‎ He was more frightened than hurt.‎ ‎ 与其说他受到伤害不如说他受到了惊吓。‎ ‎(3) rather than意为“而非，不，宁愿……也不”(would/had rather…than)。如：‎ ‎ Rather than take a bus to school, I'd prefer to walk. ‎ ‎ 我宁愿步行上学也不愿乘车。‎ ‎(4) other than常意为“除……之外，不同于”；在否定结构中，形成no/not/nothing other than 的结构搭配，常意为“正是，恰好是，除了……别无”。如：‎ ‎ It was no other than my old friend Jones. ‎ ‎ 就是我的老朋友琼斯。‎ ‎1． 要避免重复使用比较级。‎ ‎ 【误】 He is more cleverer than his brother. ‎ ‎ 【正】 He is more clever than his brother. ‎ ‎ 【正】 He is cleverer than his brother. ‎ ‎2． 要避免将主语含在比较对象中。‎ ‎ 【误】 China is larger than any country in Asia. ‎ ‎ 【正】 China is larger than any other country in Asia. ‎ ‎3． 比较的对象要一致。‎ ‎ 【误】 The weather in China is different from America.‎ ‎ 【正】 The weather in China is different from that in America.‎ ‎ 【解析】 句意为：中国的天气与美国的天气不同。比较的是天气而不是国家，比较的主体要一致，因此用that代替前面的weather。‎ ‎4． 要避免表语形容词用作定语。‎ ‎ 【误】 Entering the room, I saw an afraid girl crouching in the corner. ‎ ‎ 【正】 Entering the room, I saw a frightened girl crouching in the corner. ‎ ‎ 【解析】 afraid是表语形容词不能作定语，而frightened是过去分词变来的普通形容词，可以作定语。‎ ‎5． 不要把连接性副词当连词使用。‎ ‎(1) 【误】 He takes no interest in studies, instead, he plays tennis all day. ‎ ‎ 【正】 He takes no interest in studies; instead, he plays tennis all day. ‎ ‎ 【正】 He takes no interest in studies. Instead, he plays tennis all day. ‎ ‎(2) 【误】 The house is not big enough for us, besides, it is too far from town. ‎ ‎ 【正】 The house is not big enough for us, and besides, it is too far from town. ‎ ‎ 【正】 The house is not big enough for us. Besides, it is too far from town. ‎ ‎ 【解析】 instead, besides等很多词是起连接作用的副词，不能当连词使用，因此它们所在的句子和前面的句子之间只有语义上的逻辑关系，而句子之间在语法上是独立的，因此前面的句子要用句号或分号或用and并列。 ‎ ‎1． [2010·全国卷Ⅱ] Mr. Black is very happy because the clothes made in his factory have never been ____________. ‎ ‎ A．popular B．more popular ‎ C．most popular D．the most popular ‎ 【解析】 B　考查形容词比较级的用法。形容词比较级用于否定句表示隐含的最高级，表示“没有比……更……的”。‎ ‎2． Much to his surprise，he invited only twenty friends to the dinner，but ________________ came.‎ ‎ A．twice as many as B．as many as twice ‎ C．twice as many D．twice more than ‎ 【解析】 C　考查倍数的表达。很显然这里要表达的意思是：来的客人人数是他邀请的客人数的两倍，所以要用“倍数＋as many as”结构。第二个as及其后的内容省略。‎ ‎3． Food safety is __________ important, so the government spares no effort to prevent food pollution. ‎ ‎ A．highly B．reasonably C．strongly D．naturally ‎ 【解析】 A　highly表示程度“非常，极度”。‎ ‎4． In that case, there is nothing you can do __________ than wait. ‎ ‎ A．more B．other C．better D．any ‎ 【解析】 B　“nothing…other than wait” 只好等待。‎ ‎5． [2010·全国卷Ⅰ] I have seldom seen my mother _______　 pleased with my progress as she is now. ‎ ‎ A．so B．very C．too D．rather ‎ 【解析】 A　易混副词用法辨析。as…as…句型在否定句中可以替换为so…as…如本句。‎ ‎6． [2010·福建卷] —Volunteering is becoming 　　　　 popular in China. ‎ ‎ —Yeah，people are now aware that helping others is helping themselves. ‎ ‎ A．naturally B．successfully ‎ C．splendidly D．increasingly ‎ 【解析】 D　考查副词辨析。根据第一句句意：志愿工作在中国正越来越受到欢迎，可知D项正确。‎ ‎7． [2010·湖北卷] I wasn't blaming anyone；I __________ said errors like this could be avoided. ‎ ‎ A．merely B．mostly C．rarely D．nearly ‎ 【解析】 A　考查副词词义辨析。句意为：我没有责备任何人，我仅仅是说像这样的错误是可以避免的。这里表示“仅仅，只有”，所以用merely。‎ ‎8． After watching the movie Avatar, Mary lay in bed with her eyes ________ open while all her family were ________ asleep.‎ ‎ A．widely; soundly B．wider; soundly ‎ C．widely; sound D．wide; sound ‎ 【解析】 D　表示眼睛睁得大、嘴张得大等时，要用wide修饰open；表示“酣睡”时，常用be sound/fast/deep asleep来表达。‎ ‎9． Boris has brains. In fact，I doubt whether anyone in the class has __________ IQ.‎ ‎ A．a high B．a higher C．the higher D．the highest ‎ 【解析】‎ ‎ B　考查形容词比较级的用法。根据题干内容可知，这里是将Boris的智商与班级里其他同学的智商进行比较，因此应该用比较级，排除A、D两项；另外，这里是表泛指，因此用不定冠词，故B项正确。‎ ‎10．—How was your recent visit to Qingdao?‎ ‎ —It was great. We visited some friends，and spent the ____________________ days at the seaside. ‎ ‎ A．few last sunny B．last few sunny ‎ C．last sunny few D．few sunny last ‎ 【答案】 B ‎11．Everyone was on time for the meeting __________ Mike, who's usually ten minutes late for everything. ‎ ‎ A．even B．only C．but D．yet ‎ 【解析】 A　本题考查副词。句意为：每个人都按时到会，甚至连那个通常什么时候都会迟到十分钟的麦克也按时到会了。选A。‎ ‎12．People go out with masks, ____________________. ‎ ‎ A．fear of the sandstorm ‎ B．afraid of the sandstorm ‎ C．feared of the sandstorm ‎ D．being afraid of the sandstorm ‎ 【解析】 B　考查形容词短语作状语的用法。句意为： 人们因害怕沙尘暴，外出时都戴着口罩。‎ ‎13．Mrs. White bought a __________ wallet for her husband. ‎ ‎ A．black leather small B．small leather black ‎ C．black small leather D．small black leather ‎ 【解析】 D　考查名词前多个形容词的排列顺序。其排列顺序为：大小形状、颜色、出处、材料、用途。选D。‎ ‎14．—Let me help you, Tom!‎ ‎ —Thank you.
