一、形容詞的構(gòu)成
1. 名詞+ful,如:help→helpful;use-useful; thank-thankful
2. 名詞+y,如:cloud →cloudy;wind-windy; cloud-cloudy
3.動詞+ing, 如:interest →interesting;excite-exciting
4.動詞+ed, 如:interest →interested;worry-worried
5.名詞+ly,如:friend →friendly; love—lovely; live-lively
漏掉-less, un-等。
二、副詞的構(gòu)成
1. 副詞大多由形容詞加-ly構(gòu)成。(輔音字母+y結(jié)尾變y為i加-ly)例如:
quick- quickly, happy-happily, easy—easily, busy--busily
terrible-terribly, wonderful- wonderfully
2. 少數(shù)單詞是形容詞、副詞同形。例如:
fast, slow, early, hard
形容詞和副詞在句中的位置:
形容詞在句中可作定語、表語、賓語補足語。其作定語時,往往位于被修飾的名詞前;作表語時,常位于be, become, smell, seem, look, get, feel, turn, grow等系動詞之后。 但是,形容詞修飾不定代詞時要后置。
副詞在句中可作狀語。主要用來修飾動詞,形容詞,副詞等,通常位于被修飾的詞前。但是,當(dāng)enough用作副詞來修飾形容詞時,要后置。
[典型試題1]—Have you bought for Linda’s birthday?
—Not exactly. Just some flowers. (2012年 連云港)
A. something unusual B. anything unusual
C. unusual something D. unusual anything
[簡析]形容詞修飾不定代詞時,應(yīng)該放在其后面, 故排除C、D兩項, 再根據(jù)一般疑問句要使用anything。所以B項正確。
[典型試題2] —What do you think of the lecture of Li Yang’s Crazy English?
—I think it’s ____, but someone thinks it’s much too ______.(2010年 眉山)
A. wonderful enough; boredB. enough wonderful; boring
C. wonderful enough; boringD. enough wonderful; bored
[簡析] 根據(jù)enough修飾形容詞時應(yīng)該后置,可以排除B、D兩項;再分析第二個空格可以知道應(yīng)該填boring(令人厭煩的)才符合題意,從而又排除A項。
三、比較等級的構(gòu)成及用法。
【知識百寶箱】
1. 和比較等級相關(guān)的一些經(jīng)典句型。
(1)…the +比較級+of the two… 意為“……倆者中較……”。例如:
Simon is the fatter of the two brothers. 西蒙是他們兄弟倆中較胖的一個。
(2)The +比較級…,the+比較級… 的含義是“越……就越……”。例如:
The more careful you are, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
你越是小心,錯誤就會犯得越少。
(3)“比較級+and+比較級”或“more and more + (部分雙音節(jié)或多音節(jié))形容詞的原形”表示“越來越……”。 例如:
When spring comes, the weather gets warmer and warmer.
當(dāng)春天來臨時,天氣變得越來越暖和。
Nanjing City is becoming more and more beautiful.
南京市正變得越來越漂亮。
(4) “one of the + 形容詞最高級+可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式”意為“最……中之一”。 例如:
Shanghai is one of the biggest cities in China.
上海是中國最大的城市之一。
2. 形容詞三個比較等級都可以被某些詞語所修飾。這也是各類測試命題的焦點。
(1)形容詞原級可以被very, quite, too, so, as, much too等修飾。例如:
The box is too heavy for the little boy to carry.
那只盒子對于那小男孩而言太重了,他拎不動。
The coat is very beautiful, but it’s much too dear.
那件上衣很漂亮,但太貴了點。
(2)形容詞的比較級前可用much, far, a lot等修飾,表示“……得多”;用a little, a lit等修飾,表示“……一點兒”,用even, still等修飾,表示“更……”。例如:
I need much more money than he does.
我比他需要更多的錢。
This motorbike is a little cheaper than that one.
這輛摩托車比那輛要便宜點。
Your pencil—box is very beautiful, but mine is still more beautiful.
你鉛筆盒很漂亮,但我的更漂亮。
(3)形容詞的最高級可以被序數(shù)詞及nearly, almost等修飾。例如:
That is nearly the cheapest shirt in our shop.
那幾乎是本店最便宜的襯衫了。
[典型試題3] _____exercise you take, _____you’ll be. (2012年 黑龍江雞西)
A. The fewer, the fatterB. The less, the fatterC. The less, the more fatter
【簡析】此題考查比較等級的特殊用法。英語中用“the+比較級……,the+比較級……”表示“越……就越……”,所以題意為“你鍛煉越少,你將越胖。”,即答案為B項。
[典型試題4] When winter comes, days get______.(2012年 畢節(jié))
A. long and longB. short and short C. longer and longerD. shorter and shorter
【簡析】此題考查比較等級的特殊用法?!氨容^級+and+比較級”或“more and more+原形”表示“越來越…… ,所以本題應(yīng)該選D項。
[典型試題5] Traffic is heavy and the price of oil i s much _______ so that many people go to work by bus instead. (2012年 昆明)
A. higher B. high C. expensive D. more expensive
【簡析】根據(jù)much后跟形容詞的比較級,可以排除B、C兩項;英語中表示價格(price)高低用high和low,不能以中文思維而誤用expensive 和cheap。再結(jié)合下文“人們改乘公交車”可以推斷價錢是更高的。故選A。
四、形容詞、副詞在具體語境中的應(yīng)用
【知識百寶箱】
中考中常見的形容詞或副詞的辨析有:
1.such和 so “如此”不同
such和 so都有“如此”之意。such用作形容詞修飾名詞時,須放在名詞前;so用作副詞修飾形容詞或副詞時,須放在形容詞或副詞前;當(dāng)名詞被“多(many)多(much)少(few)少(little)”修飾時,其前仍用so。
2.already, still與yet表示“已經(jīng)”
already表示某事已經(jīng)發(fā)生,still表示某事仍在進(jìn)行,主要用于肯定句,yet用于疑問句表示“已經(jīng)”,用于否定句表示“還沒有”、“尚未”等。
3. alone與lonely
alone 作形容詞和副詞用,意為“單獨的/地、獨自的/地”,重在表示單獨無伴。而lonely作形容詞用,意為“孤獨的、寂寞的”,表示缺少朋友同情和友誼的一種悲傷、憂郁的感情,其作表語時指人所處的孤獨狀態(tài),作定語時表示荒涼。
[典型試題6] Martha is a_____ girl. She always smiles and says hello to others. (2012年 河北)
A. shy B. friendly C. crazy D. healthy
【簡析】考查形容詞的詞義辨析。shy意為“害羞的”,friendly意為“友好的”,crazy意為“瘋狂的”,healthy意為“健康的”。根據(jù)下文“她一直微笑并對其他人打招呼”,可推測她是友好的,故答案選B。
五、考查程度副詞的用法。
【知識百寶箱】
1. 考查much too和too much的區(qū)別。much too意為“很,非?!?,常用于形容詞或副詞之前;too much意為“太,很”,常用來修飾不可數(shù)名詞或位于不及物動詞之后來修飾動詞。試體會:
“Don't eat too much meat any more, you’re much too fat,” the mother said to her son.
“不要再吃太多的肉了,你太胖了,”媽媽對她的兒子說道。
much可作形容詞,修飾不可數(shù)名詞;也可以作代詞或副詞。
2. how用作程度副詞時意為“多么”,其后接形容詞或副詞,用來引導(dǎo)感嘆句,構(gòu)成“How+形容詞/副詞+主語+謂語+其他!”句型。 例如:
How beautifully she sings!她唱歌唱得多美??!
what也可引導(dǎo)感嘆句,其后接名詞,構(gòu)成“What + a/an + 形容詞+可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)+形式主語+謂語+其他!”或“What+形容詞+可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)/不可數(shù)名詞+形式主語+謂語+其他!”句型。 例如:
What a kind girl Liu Mei is! 劉梅是位多么善良的女孩??!
[典型試題7] I’m going to be late for work. There’re ___ buses on this route(線路). (2011年沈陽)
A. too few B. too little C. too many D. too much
[簡析] 根據(jù)前句“我上班將會遲到的”可知,這條路線的公交車很少,據(jù)此可以排除C、D兩項; bus是可數(shù)名詞,應(yīng)用too many來修飾;又可以排除B項。
[典型試題8] — The advantages of the Chongqi Bridge have already been seen.
— good news to us! (2012年 南通)
A. What B. What a C. How D. How a
[簡析] 審題后可以發(fā)現(xiàn)空格處應(yīng)該選用what來修飾不可數(shù)名詞news,故A項正確。
六、疑問副詞的用法
【知識百寶箱】
疑問副詞是用來引導(dǎo)特殊疑問句的,一般放在句首。疑問詞的選擇,要根據(jù)句子的意思來判斷。常見的疑問副詞when, where, why, how以及由how與其它形容詞或副詞構(gòu)成的how old, how soon, how often, how far, how long, how tall, how many, how much等。
[典型試題9] — do you write a letter to your father?
— I seldom or never do that now. Instead, I call or email him almost every day. (2012年 南通)
A. How soon B. How long C. How much D. How often
【簡析】解該題時,根據(jù)題干中的答語(I seldom or never do that now.)可以快速得到正確答案D項(對頻率進(jìn)行提問時,用how often)。
[典型試題10] —______ will the manager come back.
—Maybe in three days. (2012年 呼和浩特)
A. How often B. How long C. How soon D. How far
【簡析】根據(jù)答語Maybe in three days,可以得出該題的正確答案應(yīng)該是C項。
