語法精析精練

考試提示：

1. 單項(xiàng)填空中主要考查形容詞和副詞的詞義和比較級用法。

2. 完形填空中也以考查形容詞和副詞的詞義為主。

3. 短文改錯(cuò)中主要考查形容詞和副詞的語法功能。

一、形容詞、副詞的位置

1. 形容詞的位置

1） 單個(gè)形容詞作定語時(shí)常在所修飾詞的前面，但是形容詞作定語修飾someone， somebody， something， anyone， anybody， anything， everyone， everybody， everything， no one， nobody， nothing時(shí)，要放在它們后面。

2） 以-able或-ble結(jié)尾的形容詞放在前面有最高級或only 等修飾的名詞之后，如：the only solution possible.

3） 以a-開頭的表語形容詞alive， alike， asleep， awake， alone等作定語時(shí)要放在名詞之后。

4） 形容詞詞組或短語作定語放在所修飾詞的后面。如：a basket full of fruit.

2. 多個(gè)形容詞作定語時(shí)的排列順序

常見排列順序是：限定詞（the，this，his等）+ 順序形容詞（first，last，next等）+ 數(shù)量形容詞 + 描繪性形容詞 + 大小/長短/高低/形狀/新舊等形容詞 + 顏色 + 國籍地區(qū) + 材料 + 用途 + 名詞。注意：判斷選擇正確詞序時(shí)，可采用排除法。

3. 副詞的位置

副詞在句中的位置靈活，在句首、句末、句中都有，但注意：

1） 頻度副詞always， usually， often， sometimes， seldom， never， hardly等在句中通常放在行為動(dòng)詞前，系動(dòng)詞、情態(tài)動(dòng)詞或助動(dòng)詞之后。

2） 有些副詞可修飾全句，放在句首。

二、形容詞、副詞的辨析

1. 同根副詞的區(qū)別

英語中有的副詞有兩種形式：一種與其形容詞同形，另一種是由形容詞后加詞綴-ly構(gòu)成。這兩種副詞的大致區(qū)別是：第一種副詞與相應(yīng)的形容詞意義常相近，第二種副詞表示相應(yīng)的其他意義。熟記以下幾組副詞的區(qū)別：

close 接近地，近c(diǎn)losely 嚴(yán)密地，親密地

deep 深deeply 深深地

fair 公平地，正直地fairly 相當(dāng)?shù)?/p>

free 自由地，免費(fèi)地freely 隨便地，自由地

hard 努力地hardly 幾乎不

high 高h(yuǎn)ighly 高度地

late 晚，遲lately 近來

most 最，非常mostly 大多數(shù)，主要地

near 近nearly 幾乎

wide 寬，廣widely 廣泛地

注意：以-ly結(jié)尾的形容詞：costly， deadly， friendly， likely， lively， lonely， lovely， manly， silly， unlikely等。

2. 注意幾組詞的辨析

1） very與（very） much

2） ago與before

3） already，yet，still

4） once與ever

5） so與such

6） too，also，either

7） rather，fairly，very，quite，pretty

8） almost與nearly

9） most，mostly，almost，mainly

10） but，yet，however，though

11） likely，possible，probable

12） sure與certain

13） late，lately，latest，later，last

14） common，ordinary，usual，average，normal

三、形容詞、副詞的特殊用法

1. 倍數(shù)表達(dá)結(jié)構(gòu)：

1） ……+ 倍數(shù) + as...as...

2） ……+ 倍數(shù) + 比較級 + than...

3） ……+ 倍數(shù) + the + 名詞 + of...

2. 比較級 + and + 比較級：“越來越……”

3. the + 比較級，the + 比較級：“越……越……”

4. the + 比較級 + of...：“……（兩者中）較……的一個(gè)”

5. no + 比較級 + than...：“和……一樣不……”

6. 比較級用于否定句中或與否定詞never等連用，可表示相當(dāng)于最高程度的意義。

7. the + 最高級 + 比較范圍，表示“最……”，但若沒有比較范圍，最高級前用不定冠詞或不用冠詞時(shí)，不表最高程度意義，而表示“很、非?！?。

8. cannot/can never... too/enough...：

“越……越好”/“無論……也不為過”。

Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day， this news appeared on Page Two of the town’s newspaper. The Beldon Post：

FIRE AT SEABREEZE

Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors， “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years.

The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on Page One：

ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE

Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing， bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said， “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on， I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.

There was a wonderful story about Jimmy Durante， one of the greatest entertainers of a few generations ago. He was asked to be a part of a show for some World WarⅡveterans. He told them his schedule was very tight and he could only afford a few minutes. However， if they wouldn’t mind him doing a short monologue（獨(dú)白，單口相聲）and leaving immediately for his next appointment， he would come. Of course， the show’s director agreed happily.

But when Jimmy got on stage， something interesting happened. He went through the monologue and then stayed. The applause grew louder and louder and he continued to stay. Pretty soon he had been on fifteen， twenty， then thirty minutes. Finally he took a last bow and left the stage. Backstage some-one stopped him and said， “I thought you had to go after a few minutes. What happened？” Jimmy answered， “I did have to go， but I can show you the reason why I stayed. You can see for yourself if you look at the front row.”

In the front row were two men， each of whom had lost an arm in the war. One had lost his right arm and the other had lost his left arm. Together they were able to clap， and that’s exactly what they were doing， loudly and cheerfully.

C. He would meet the two men in the front row.

D. He would go back home and have a rest.

Nothing fits like an old shoe—especially if that shoe walked on the earth 5500 years ago. Researchers in Armenia found the world’s oldest leather shoe， and they said it was in surprisingly good condition. Diana Zardaryan of the Institute of Archeology found it in a cave near the border with Iran and Turkey. She said even the shoe laces were kept.

Two laboratories in the United States and Britain did radiocarbon tests. The date showed it was four hundred years older than the Stonehenge formation in England， and a thousand years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.

The cool air and dry conditions in the cave protected the shoe and the other objects. So did a thick， solid layer of sheep dung（羊糞）covering the floor. This acted as a cover to prevent damage.

The shoe was made from a single piece of cow leather. The researchers believed the shoe was shaped to fit the wearer’s right foot. The shoe was small—a European size thirty-seven， or a woman’s size seven in the United States.

The head of the research said he did not know if the shoe was made for a man or a woman. Ron Pinhasi of University College in Cork， Ireland， said it could have fitted a man at that time.

His team also found grass packed inside the shoe. They said the grass might have been used to keep the wearer’s foot warm. Or it could have been used to hold the shape of the shoe while it was not being worn.

The team of scientists also found large containers of wheat， barley and apricots in the cave， along with a broken pot and sheep’s horns. They also found the graves of children buried near the back of the cave. They did not know why all these things were found together in one place. They did not know what the purpose of the cave was.

43. Where was the shoe found？

A. In America.B. In Iraq.

C. In Armenia.D. In Turkey.

44. How many reasons are mentioned in the passage why the shoe was well kept？

A. One.B. Two.

C. Three.D. Four.

45. What would be the best title for the passage？

A. How Researchers Discovered the World’s Oldest Leather Shoe？

B. Who Is the Owner of the World’s Oldest Leather Shoe？

C. The Mystery of the World’s Oldest Leather Shoe

D. A Strange Cave

When Dan Shaw gets up from the sofa in his home， Cuddles is never far away. When he wants to go outside， he doesn’t take Cuddles out for a walk—Cuddles takes him for a walk. Cuddles is clearly no ordinary family pet. It is a two-foot-high miniature horse and serves as the guiding eyes of Shaw， who is blind.

When Shaw lost his sight， his wife suggested he apply for a guide dog. Shaw， an animal lover， said he couldn’t bear to part with a dog（which usually lives about eight to ten years）and get used to a new one， perhaps several times in his life.

Then Shaw heard of a program about the tiny guide horses. He learned that the horses possess many qualities that make them an excellent choice for guiding people. They are clean， friendly， smart and have great memories. They can be trained to remain calm in noisy and crowded places. Best of all， they live for 25-35 years， which would enable Shaw to have the same guide companion for most or all of his life.

Shaw immediately applied to be and was accepted as the first person to receive a guide horse. The instant he met Cuddles， he knew he was making the right choice. Then he began his training.

Through training， Shaw and Cuddles learned to find their way on busy streets， step over curbs（便道沿兒）and find elevator buttons. Cuddles even demonstrated（顯示）its ability to step in front of Shaw and block him， to prevent him from walking into a dangerous situation. The little horse also expertly led Shaw through busy shopping malls. They got along without any difficulties. Now Shaw is confident that Cuddles will change his life for the better.
