七.形容词和副词:
英语中,形容词和副词有级的变化。在两个范围内,应该用比较级,它的修饰词有这样几个:much, far, a lot(得多); a little(一点); even(甚至于还要); still(更加)。在三个以上范围内,应该用最高级,它常伴随的词语有这样几个:in﹢sp.(表达地点范围);of、among﹢数词、代词或复数名词(表达个数范围);… that I ever seen(表达整体范围)。但是有不少单词仍要求用原级,它们是:very …;so …;quite …;too …;… enough;as … as等;此外在感叹句中也应该用原级。
在连系动词后,通常要用形容词作表语,不能用副词。英语中的连系动词分三大类:1.be动词 2.意为“变”的动词,如:turn green;change fatter;get warmer;become smaller等 3.感官动词,如:look worried;sound true;taste delicious;smell terrible;feel hot。此外,还有个别行为动词也可作连系动词用,如:grow taller(长高);go hungry(挨饿)……等。不过还应该注意到,有些副词是可以修饰be动词的,如:possibly;probably;still;nearly;indeed …等。
例题解析:
( ) The knife is _____ enough for you to cut the meat.
A) blunt B) cheap C) sharp D) fast
本题意为“刀够快,你可以切肉”。本句中的“快”意为“锋利”,该用“sharp”。“blunt”意为“钝”,是“sharp”的反义词;“cheap”意为“便宜”,用在这里不妥;“fast”也译作“快”,但是,它所表示的是“速度”的程度。所以本题答案应该选“C”。
( )16. Grandmother wakes up early. She _____ gets up late, does she?
A) few B) little C) seldom D) usually
应该用副词来修饰行为动词“get up”。“few”与“little”是形容词,都不能用在句子中。副词“usually”虽可用于修饰“get up”,但是,它的反意疑问句该用“doesn’t she”来反问。“seldom”与“not”、“no”、“never”、“nothing”、“nobody”、“none”、“little”、“few”、“hardly”、“scarcely”、“rarely”相仿,在语法上有否定的特点;即它们在位的句子在语法上都属于否定句,因此,它的反意疑问句该用“does she”来反问。所以本题答案应该选“C”。
( ) If you want to learn a language well, you must use it as _____ as possible.
A) hard B) long C) often D)soon
本句的关键词是“use”(使用),与“hard”(努力)不宜搭配。“as long as possible”意为“尽可能长久”,“as soon as possible”意为“尽快”,都不宜与“使用英语”搭配;与“学好语言”之意不符。只有“as often as possible”(尽可能经常)与“使用英语”搭配才贴切。所以本题答案应该选“C”。
( ) This is really a large amount of money. But it is _____ than we need.
A) much fewer B) less much C) far more D) far less
“but”是表示“意思转折”的连词,因此,这里不能说“多得多”,要说“少得多”。“多”(many, much)的比较级都是“more”;但是“少”(few, little)的比较级有可数(fewer)与不可数(less)之分,平时学生往往会忽略“fewer”的用法。本句的意思是“这确实是一大笔钱,但是要比我们所需要的数量少得多。”这里指的是数量,而在英语中数量的表达是属于不可数的。所以本题答案应该选“D”。
( ) Glad you’re much better now. But you have to stay in bed for _____ two weeks.
A) other B) more C) again D) another
“再卧床两星期”可译为“stay in bed for another two weeks”或“stay in bed for two more weeks”,所以本题答案应该选“D”。要特别注意第二种说法中“more”的位置;它要放在数词的后面、名词的前面。
( ) It was said that he was _____ at the meeting yesterday afternoon.
A) attended B) joined C) present D) absent
在英语中,“出席会议”可译为“attend the meeting”或“be present at the meeting”;“缺席会议”可译为“be absent from the meeting”。“join”意为“加入”,后面可以跟表示人群或组织的名词作宾语,它不能用“会议”作宾语。所以本题答案应该选“C”。“present”除了有形容词“出席的”意思外,还有名词“礼物”(gift) 和“目前”的意思,如:at the present(当前;即nowadays)。
( ) Look. The _____ baby hasn’t woken up yet.
A) sleeping B) sleepy C) asleep D) slept
“sleepy”意为“睡眼惺忪的”,没有“睡着”之意。“slept”(睡着)是“sleep”的过去式或过去分词,它不能用作“baby”的定语。“asleep”(睡着的)在英语中只能用作表语,即后面不能跟名词,如:fall asleep。“sleeping”(睡着的)在英语中可作定语、表语,还可以作为动名词用作主语、宾语或作为现在分词用在分词短语中。本题意为“你看,那个睡着的婴儿还没醒来”,只能用“sleeping”来修饰名词“baby”,所以答案应该选“A”。
( ) A child may feel _____ if he has no sister or brother in his family.
A) lone B) lonely C) alone D) along
“lone”(孤单的)表示状态,通常用作定语;“alone”(孤单的)也表示状态,通常用作表语,它还可以用作副词,意为“单独”(by oneself; without anyone’s help);“lonely”(孤单的) 表示心情,通常与“feel”连用;“along”作介词有“沿着”之意,作副词时可替换“on”。本句之意是“如果在家里没有弟妹,孩子会感到孤单”,所以答案应该选“B”。
