〖解析〗四个选项的副词都可以修饰条件状语从句作状语, 但所表达的意思不同:extremely极端地;naturally自然地;basically基本地;especially特别地、尤其。语言是交际工具, 尤其是不会讲外语而又在国外生活的人更是困难。条件状语从句表示的是一种突出的情况, 故最佳答案选D。又如:Mother was worried because little Alice was ill, especially as Father was away in France.因为小爱丽丝病了, 母亲很是担忧, 尤其是父亲外出在法国的时候。

十年高考【2000-2010】英语分类汇编----形容词和副词
考 点 解 析
【考点定位】 2011考纲解读和近几年考点分布
形容词和副词高考研究形容词是英语中较为复杂的一种词类,涉及的面比较广。同时形容词的形式变化灵活,如有原级、比较级和最高级等,而且用法比较复杂。预测今后高考中对于形容词的考查应注意以下几点:形容词的辨析,形容词的原级、比较级和最高级,以及一些特别重要的固定句型结构,同时要注意多个形容词修饰名词时的排列顺序等等。一般来说,
副词是英语中比较复杂的一类词,它数量多、近义词多、用法复杂,而且副词的位置在句子中也是多变的。高考中对于副词的考查不是单纯地进行语法要点的考查,而是要通过具体的语境来进行分析和判断。预测今后高考对于副词的考查主要会出现在:副词的近义词的辨析;关于副词的原级、比较级和最高级的句型;同根不同形的副词;常考副词的辨析;比较级前的修饰语等等。
【考点pk】 名师考点透析
考点1 形谷词、副词的比较等级
1.形容词或副词的as…as结构
两者相比,当A=B时,用“as+面/adv.原级+as”来表示。如:
Jack runs as fast as Tom.杰克和汤姆跑得一样快。
双方相比,当A≠B,或指A的程度较低时,用“not as/so+adj./adv.原级+as”表示。如:
He does not work as/so hard as his sister.他不如他妹妹学习努力。
2.形容词或副词的比较级+than 、
当双方比较,A>B时,用“比较级+than”结构。当A不及B的程度时,用“less+adj./adv.原级+than”的结构。如:
①Blood is thicker than water.[谚]血浓于水。
②Health is better than wealth.[谚]健康胜过财富。
3.表示双方相比,一方超过另一方,并强调超出的程度和数量时,可在比较级前加表示程度的状语,如:even,much,very much,still,any,a lot,a bit,a little,far,yet,by far,a great deal,twice,three times,rather,slightly等,而very,quite,SO,fairly等词不可修饰形容词或副词的比较级
A car runs a great deal faster than a truck.小汽车比卡车快得多。
4.“the+比较级,the+比较级”结构表示“越……越……”
The more tickets you sell,the more money you will get.你卖的票越多,你得到的钱就会越多。
5.当三者或三者以上相比,表示最高程度时,用最高级这种句式中一般常有表示比较范围的介词短语;最高级可被序数词以及much,by far,nearly,almost,by no means,not
quite,not really,nothing like等修饰。如:
The building being built now is by far the highest in the city.目前在建的那座大楼是本市最高的大楼。
6.比较级表示最高级含义
(1)比较级+than any other+可数名词单数。如:
The Changjiang River is longer than any other river in China.在中国,长江比其他任何一条河流都长。
(2)比较级+than all(the)other+可数名词复数。如:
China is larger than all the other Asian countries.中国比亚洲的其他国家都大。
(3)no/never/nothing…+比较级。如:
Nothing is more valuable than time.时间比任何东西都珍贵。
(4)“否定词+不定冠词+形容词的比较级+名词”或“否定词+副词的比较级”表示“从未……;未曾……”。如:
This film is very moving.I have never seen a better one.这部电影很感人,我从没有看过一部比它更好的。
典例:(2010高考英语大纲全国II卷,20)Mr. Black is very happy because the clothes made in hi s factory have never been ______ .
A. popular B. more popular
C. most popular D. the most popular
【答案】 B
【解析】考察否定词+比较级的用法。句意为:“Mr. Black非常高兴,因为他的工厂生产的服装从来没有像现在这样如此受欢迎。”这里的never+more popular是用否定式加比较级表示最高意义。
考点2 形容词修饰名词的位置
1.多个形容词作定语时的排列顺序
如果两个以上的形容词修饰一个名词,与被修饰的名词关系较密切的形容词靠近名词,如果几个形容词的密切程度差不多,则音节少的形容词在前,音节多的在后。它们的顺序是:限定词(
冠词、物主代词、指示代词、不定代词)+数词(序数词,基数词)+描绘性形容词(nice,good,interesting,beautiful…)+特征形容词(大小、长短、高低、形状、年龄、新旧)+颜色形容词+国籍、出处+物质、材料+用途、类别+中心名词。我们可以用下面的一段顺El溜帮助
记忆:
限数描、大长高,形状年龄和新老。
颜色国籍出材料,作用类别往后靠。
在实际运用中,很少会同时出现这么多修饰词,但我们必须记住以上规则,此外,还应当多阅读,多体会,以增强语感。如:
another three English books另外三本英语书;a beautiful white Chinese military jeep一辆漂亮的白色中国军用吉普车
2.形容词作定语后置的几种情况
(1)当形容词修饰由some,any,IlO,every构成的复合词,如something,anything,nothing等时。如:
Is there anything new in today’S newspaper?今天的报纸上有什么新的东西吗?
(2)当“形容词+介词/不定式”构成的短语作定语时。如:
There is a bag full of rice on his table.他的桌上有满满一袋米。
(3)当两个意义相反的形容词用both…and…,and,or或so连接在一起作定语时。如:
People in the village,young and old,men and women are fond of singing and dancing.村里的男女老幼都喜爱唱歌跳舞。
(4)当old,long,high,wide,deep等词附有数量词短语作定语时。如:
The peasants dug a well about fifty metres deep.农民们挖了一口约五十米深的井。
(5)有些表语形容词作定语时,如afraid,alone,awake,asleep,alive,ashamed,worth等。如:
Tom was the only boy awake at that time.汤姆是那时唯一醒着的男孩。
典例:(2010高考英语辽宁卷,27)We only had $100 and that was ______ to buy a new computer.
A.nowhere near enough B.near enough nowhere
C.enough near nowhere D.near nowhere enough
【答案】A
【解析】考查形容词、副词的排列顺序。enough修饰形容词、副词时,通常要放在被修饰词语的后面。’因此正确词序应为:nowhere near enough…nowhere near意为“差得远,远不及”。语意为:我们只有100美元。这笔钱远远不够买一台新电脑。根据语意选A项。
考点3 形容词、副词的辨析
1.形容词主要用来修饰名词,也可修饰something,nothing等不定代词,在句中作定语、表语、宾语补足语或状语。作状语时表示伴随、原因等,或是对主语进行解释,可以看成是“being+形容词”,位于句首、句中或句尾,表示伴随时通常用逗号与其他成分隔开
①He lay in bed,wide awake.他躺在床上,完全清醒着。
②He went to bed,cold and hungry.他上床睡觉,又冷又饿。
2.副词主要用作状语,修饰动词、形容词、从句或整个句子。修饰整个句子时,可置于句首、句中或句尾
Fortunately,he escaped from the fire.他幸运地从大火中逃了出来。
3.有些副词有两种形式,其中一种形式与形容词形式相同,另一种是在形容词后加ly。这两种形式的副词在意义上有所不同:不带ly的副词往往表示的是具体概念(也就是词的本义);加ly的往往表示抽象概念(也就是词的引申义)。close接近(指距离)_closely仔细地,密切地;free免费_freely自由地,自如地;deep深地_deeply深刻地,深入地;wide充分(张开)地,宽阔地_+widely广泛地;high高地_highly高度地,非常;late迟,晚一lately最近,近来;near邻近地_nearly几乎;most最一mosdy主要地。如:
He jumped that high in the sports meeting in our school and is highly thought of by his classmates.他在我们学校运动会上跳得那么高,赢得了同学们的高度赞扬。
特别提示
一般说来,形容词+ly构成的是副词,如:deeply,highly,widely等;名词+ly构成的是形容词或名词,如:friendly,brotherly,lovely,weekly,monthly等。
4.rather,very,quite,fairly的区别
(1)rather常用来修饰贬义的形容词或副词,如bad,poor,badly等;faifly
常用来修饰褒义的形容词或副词,如nice,well,clever等。如:
She is fairly clever,but does rather badly in her lessons.她很聪明,但她的功课做得相当差。
(2)如果修饰中性的形容词或副词,如easy,fast,thin等,fairly表示肯定的概念,即说话人的态度是赞美的、满意的;而rather表示否定的概念,即说话人是不满意的。如:
①I’lle soup is fairly hot.这汤还算热。(表示喜欢热汤)
②)The soup is rather hot.这汤太烫了。(表示讨厌太烫的汤)
特别提示
rather可用在similar,different,too,介词like,以及形容词、副词的比较级之前,也可修饰动词,而fairly,quite则不能,但可以说quite better。如:
今天比昨天暖和得多。
【误】It is fairly warmer today than yesterday.
【正】It is rather warmer today than yesterday.
(3)quite表示的程度比fairly深,表示主观看法,可理解为“十分”。如:
The news is quite amazing.这个消息十分惊人。
(4)fairly只能用在不定冠词之后;而quite和rather用于不定冠词前、后皆可。如:
This is a fairly heavy/rather a heavy/a rather heavy/a quite heavy/quite a heavy job for US.对我们来说,这是一项相当繁重的工作。
另外,rather有时与褒义词尤其是表示“好”的词连用时,强调被修饰词的程度,可与fairly,quite互换。如:Your English is rather/fairly/quite good.你的英语相当好。
高考经常考查形容词的辨析和副词的辨析,所以我们在学习中要注意近义词的用法差异。以下是常见的几组近义词:alone,lonely;living,alive,live,lively;likely,possible,probable;no more than,not more than;no less than,not less than;too much,much too;no longer,no more;almost,nearly。
典例:(2010高考英语浙江卷,6)I have been convinced that the print media are usually more ______ and more reliable than television.
A.accurate B.ridiculous C.urgent D.shallow
【答案】A
【解析】本题考查形容词辨析。分析四个选项的意思:accurate 精确的;ridiculous可笑的,滑稽的;urgent紧急
【考点汇总】 知识点归纳小结
形容词和副词是历年英语高考的重点。要复习好这一块知识点,考生不仅要掌握其基础知识,同时要牢记其中的重点和难点,也是高考的热点。
I.形容词、副词的作用与位置
1.形容词是用来修饰名词的,常被放在名词前作定语,或放在系动词后面作表语。而副词则用来修饰形容词、动词,其他副词或者句子,一般位于形容词之前,动词之后或句子之首。以下属几种情况,须牢记:
①几个并列的形容词作定语,其语序通常为:
限定语(The、A)+ 描绘性形容词 + size(大小)+ shape(形状)+ age(年龄、时间)+ color(颜色)+origin(国籍、来源)+material(材料)+ purpose(目的)+名词;
a heavy black Chinese steel umbrella,
the man’s first tow interesting little red French oil paitings
熟记口诀就可以顺利解题: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。
②形容词短语作定语,定语后置;
a language difficult to master,
a leaning tower about 180 feet high
This is a student worth of praise.
They will turn their motherland into a country, beautiful and modern.
③表语形容词(afraid、alike、alone、asleep、awake、alive等)作定语,定语后置;
a man alive:活着的人
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如作定语意为“bad”;
④形容词作定语修饰由不定代词one、no、any、some和every构成的复合词如anything、something
等时,通常后置;
I have something important to tell you.
⑤enough、nearby修饰名词前置或后置,程度副词一般位于形容词、副词前面,enough修饰形容词、副词时,必须后置;
⑥else常用作疑问代词和不定代词的后置定语;
⑦几个副词并列作状语时,其顺序较灵活,但一般是:方式→地点→时间;
⑧频度副词如often、always、usually等在be动词后,行为动词前;
⑨副词作定语,定语后置;
The person there is waiting for you.
⑩复合形容词常用作定语,个别也可以作表语。
He was a 12-year-old boy.
He is good-natured.
复合形容词的构成:
▲形容词+名词-ed:kind-hearted好心的,white-haired白发的
▲形容词+形容词:red-hot炽热的,dark-blue深蓝的
▲形容词+现在分词:good-looking好看的,easy-going随和的
▲副词+现在分词:hard-working勤劳的,fast-moving快速转动的
▲副词+过去分词:hard-won得来不易的,newly-made新建的
▲名词+形容词:life-long终生的,world-famous世界闻名的
▲名词+现在分词:peace-loving爱好和平的,fun-loving爱开玩笑的
▲名词+过去分词:snow-covered白雪覆盖的,hand-made手工的
▲数词+名词 + ed:four-storeyed 4层楼的,three-legged 3条腿的
▲数词+名词(名词用单数):ten-year 10年的, two-man两人的
2.形容词作伴随状语和原因状语
He spent 7days in the wind and snow,cold and hungry.
他在风雪中度过了7天,又冷又饿。
She stared into the distance, speechless for a long time.
她盯着远处看,好长时间不讲话。
Afraid of being caught,the thief hid himself under a bed.
因为害怕被抓,这个小偷藏在床下面。
II.连系动词与形容词
象get,grow,become,feel,appear,prove ,look,keep,smell,taste,sound,go,turn,remain等这些动词既可以用作为实义动词又可以用作连系动词,因而要根据上下文语境判断究竟是什么性质的动动词才能正确解题。
请看下面这道选择题:
▲We don't care if a hunting dog smells_____,but we really don't want him to smell_____.
A. well; well B. bad; badly C. well; badly D. badly; bad
第一个“smell”是“闻起来”的意思,是连系动词,用形容词。第二个“smell”是实义动词,用副词来修饰;此外well作形容词是表示人身体好、气色好,用在此句中不行,只能作副词用。答案是B。句意是:“我们不在乎猎狗闻起来难闻,但是我们确实不希望它的嗅觉力差。
III.形容词、副词比较等级的用法
形容词、副词有三个等级:原级、比较级和最高级,其构成形式如下:
规则变化:单音节词和少数双音节词,加词尾-er,-est来构成比较级和最高级
构成法
原级
比较级
最高级
一般单音节词未尾加-er,-est
tall
taller
tallest
以不发音的e结尾的单音词和少数以-le结尾的双音节词只加-r,-st
nice
nicer
nicest
big
bigger
biggest
以一个辅音字母结尾的闭音节单音节词,双写结尾的辅音字母,再加-er,-est
"以辅音字母+y"结尾的双音节词,改y为i,再加-er,-est
busy
busier
busiest
少数以-er,-ow结尾的双音节词未尾加-er,-est
clever
narrow
cleverer
narrower
cleverest
narrowest
其他双音节词和多音节词,在前面加more,most来构成比较级和最高级
important
easily
more important
more easily
most important
most easily
不规则变化
原级
比较级
最高级
good/well
better
best
bad/ill
worse
worst
old
older/elder
oldest/eldest
much/many
more
most
little
less
least
far
farther/further
farthest/furthest
注意:many,old和far比较级及最高级用法的区别
①如果后接名词时,much more +不可数名词,many more +可数名词复数。
②old有两种比较级和最高级形式: older/oldest 和elder/eldest。elder,eldest只用于兄弟姐妹的长幼关系。
My elder brother is an engineer.
Mary is the eldest of the three sisters.
③far有两种比较级,farther,further..在英语中两者都可指距离。
在美语中,father表示距离,further表示进一步
I have nothing further to say.
1.原级的用法
表示双方在程度、性质、特征等某方面相等时,用“as+原级形容词/副词+ as”的结构;表示双方不相等时,用“not so(as)+原级形容词/副词+ as”的结构;表示一方是另一方的若干倍时,用“倍数+ as+原级形容词/副词+ as”的结构。
Xiao Wang is as tall as Xiao Yu.
This building looks not so (as)high as that one.
Miss Xu speaks English as fluently as you .
This room is three times as large as that one.
2.比较级的用法
①双方比较,表示一方超过另一方时,用“比较级+than”的结构表示;
This picture is more beautiful than that one.
注意:
▲比较对象的一致性
请看下面这道选择题:
The weather in China is different from__ __.
A. in America B. one in America C. America D. that in America
本题意为"中国的天气比美国热。"比较的是天气而不是国家,C不能选。A没有名词,后句成分不全,排除。B和D中,B中的one常用来代替可数名词,而that可车以代替不可数或抽象名词,所以选D。
▲要避免将主语包含在比较对象中
(错)China is larger than any country in Asia.
(对)China is larger than any other countries in Asia.
▲注意比较对象的省略或隐藏:有时省略或不点明被比较的对象,而是通过语境来暗示被比较的对象。
请看下面这两道选择题:
If there were no examinations, we should have ___ at school.
A. the happiest time B. a more happier time C. much happiest time D. a much happier time
本题将比较的对象隐藏在虚拟条件句中,即:与没有考试的时候相比。本题答案选D。
I don’t think this film is by far the most boring.I have seen____________.
A. better B. worse C. the best D. the worst
由前文“我认为这部电影不是最没趣的”可知,“我看过(比这部)更差的电影”,省略了than this one。本题答案是B。
It takes a long time to go there by train; it's ________by road.
A. quick B. the quickest C. much quick D. quicker
由语境可知,句末省略了than by train,用比较级。本题答案是D。
②表示一方不及另一方时,用“less+原级+than”的结构表示;
This room is less beautiful than that one.
③表示一方超过另一方的程度或数量时,可在比较级前加表示程度的状语,如even、a lot、a bit、a little、still、much、far、yet、by fay等修饰;
He works even harder than before.
注意:by far通常用于强调最高级。用于比较级时,一般放在比较级的后面,如在前面,应在二者中
间加“the”。
He is taller by far than his brother.
He is by far the taller of the two brothers.
④表示一方随另一方的程度而变化时,用“the +比较级(主语+谓语),the +比较级(主语+谓语)”
的结构(意为“越……越……”);
The harder he works, the happier he feels.
⑤不与其他事物相比,表示本身程度的改变时,用“比较级+ and+比较级”的结构;
The weather is getting colder and colder.
The girl becomes more and more beautiful.
⑥某些以-ior结尾的形容词进行比较时,用to代替than。这些词有inferior(劣等的,次的)、superior(较
好的,优于……)、junior(资历较浅的)、senior(资格较老的)、prior(在……之前)等;
He is superior to Mr.Zhang in chemistry.
⑦在比较从句中为了避免重复,我们通常用that(those)、one(ones)代替前面出现的名词。that指物,one既可指人又可指物。that可代替可数名词单数和不可数名词,而one只能代替可数名词;
The book on the table is more interesting than that(或the one)on the desk.
A box made of steel is stronger than one made of wood.
⑧否定词+比较级
该结构用否定形式表示肯定意义。要掌握该结构的用法,须注意以下几点:
▲该结构多为“can't /couldn't +比较级”的形式
I can't agree with you more.我再同意你的意见不过了。(或:我完全同意你的意见。)
The weather couldn't be worse.天气再糟糕不过了。
He couldn't have done better.他做得再好不过了。
▲用于该结构中的否定词除了not之外,还有no,never,nothing等
This could give her no greater pleasure.这使她再高兴不过了。
There's nothing cheaper.这东西再便宜不过了。
There is no greater love than that of a man who lays down his life for his friends.
为朋友而放弃生命的爱是最伟大的爱。
▲当该结构中的比较级为less时,其意义为“一点也不”
试比较:He couldn't care more.他非常介意。(或:他最关心不过了。)
He couldn't care less.他毫不介意。(或:他最漠不关心了。)
注意:反过来用肯定形式表示否定意义。这种用法主要见于:
▲know better than+不定式。这种结构意为“不至于”
You have a better command of French than to make such mistakes.
你的法语较好,不至于犯这样的错误。
He is more experienced than to do such a thing.
他比较有经验,不至于做这样的事。
▲more than…can。这种句型形式上是肯定,实际上有否定含义
The boys in the street have become very insolent and it is more than flesh and blood can bear.
街上的男孩变得非常无礼,到了人所不能忍受的地步。
The beauty of the place is more than I can describe.
那地方美得无法形容。
⑨倍数表达法
▲A is three(four, etc.)times the size(height, length etc.)of B.
The new building is four times the size(the height)of the old one.
这座新楼是那座旧楼的四倍大(高)/这座新楼比那座旧楼大(高)三倍。
▲A is three(four, etc.)times as big(high, long, etc.)as B.
Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亚洲是欧洲的四倍大/亚洲比欧洲大三倍。
▲A is three (four, etc.)times bigger(higher, longer, etc.)than B.
Your school is three times bigger than ours.你们的学校比我们的学校大三倍。
用times表倍数通常用于三倍以上,两倍可以用twice或double.
3.最高级的用法
①三者或三者以上相比,表示最高程度时,用“the +最高级”的结构表示。这种句式一般常有表示比
较范围的介词短语;
Zhang Hua is the tallest of the three.
He works(the)hardest in his class.
②最高级可被序数词以及much、by far、nearly、almost 、by no means、not quite、not really、nothing like
等词语所修饰;
This hat is by far / much / nearly / almost / not nearly / by no means / not quite / nothing like the biggest.
③表示“最高程度”的形容词,如excellent、extreme、perfect等,没有最高级,也没有比较级。
④形容词最高级修饰作表语或介词宾语的名词、代词时,被修饰的词往往省略;
He is the tallest(boy)in his class.
⑤作状语的副词最高级前可以不加定冠词。
Of all the boys he came(the)earliest.
4.形容词和副词前面使用冠词的情况
①形容词最高级前一般要加定冠词,副词最高级前可不加冠词;
②形容词最高级前有时加不定冠词,或不加冠词,不表比较,表示“非常”;
He is a most clever young policeman.(most=very)
The film is most interesting.(most=very)
③as+形容词+a+单数名词;
This is as good an example as the other is.
④表示两者间“较……的一个”比较级前加the;
who is the older of the tow boys?
⑤在“the + 比较级…,the + 比较级…”结构中;
⑥在same前一般要加the;
⑦What +a/an+形容词+单数可数名词=How+形容词+ a/an+单数可数名词
What an interesting film it is!=How interesting a film it is!
⑧so和such的用法
so + 形容词 / 副词 + that …
so + 形容词 + a(n)+ 单数可数名词 + that …
so + many / much / little / few + 名词 + that …
such + a(n)+ 形容词+单数可数名词 + that …
such + 形容词 + 不可数名词 + that …
such + 形容词 + 复数名词 + that …
下列词组中为什么只能用so不可用such?
so much progress、so many people、so little food、so few apples等。
因为名词受many、much、little、few等表示“多或少”意义的词修饰。
下列这句中such用得对不对?(对)。为什么?
These are such little boys that they can’t dress themselves.
因为little在这儿表示“小”,而不是表示“少”的意思。
下列so的用法是错误的:so difficult problems, so hot weather
为什么?因为problems是复数,weather是不可数名词。
⑧有些形容词前加the 成为名词。如the poor、the rich 等。
5.由as/so组成的形容词或副词短语
①as much as + 不可数名词:多达
Each stone weighs as much as fifteen tons.
②as many as + 可数名词:多达
I have as a many as sixteen reference books.
③as early as:早在
As early as the twelfth century the English began to invade the island.
④as far as:远到;就……而知(论)
We might go as far as (走到)the church and back.
As far as I know(就我所知),he has been there before.
⑤may (might, could)as well:不妨、不如
Then you might as well stay with us here.
⑥as … as can be:到了最……的程度,极其
They are as unreliable as they can be.他们极其不可信。
⑦as … as one can:尽其所能
He began to run, as fast as he could.
⑧as … as possible:尽可能
Just get them to finish up as quickly as possible.
6.more /less than及其相关结构
第一类
①more than+具体数字=over:多于、超过……
He spoke English more than two years.(两年多)

1.下列单词虽以-ly结尾,但却是形容词而非副词
deadly,friendly,lovely,likely,lonely,silly,lively,brotherly,weekly等。
2.有无ly的副词意义、用法有别

4.搭配特别的形容词和副词
英语中有些形容词和副词与名词、动词、或另一形容词等的搭配与汉语不完全一样,在平时学习中通过运用要把它们掌握好。
特别要记住下列与汉语不同的表达方法:

fast/sound asleep睡得很香 largely due to…主要因为
greatlyrespected/honoured很受尊敬 badly/seriously hurt/injured伤得很严重
rain/snow hard/heavily下大雨(大雪) large/small population人口多(少)
heavy traffic交通堵塞
5.体现两句间逻辑关系的连接性副词
解决这类问题,首先要弄清形容词和副词真正含义,在解题时要弄清上下文的逻辑关系。
常用的此类词有:besides而且、再说,instead而是,反而,though不过,可是,然而,however不过,仍然,然而,thus/therefore因此,所以,furthermore/moreover此外,而且,再者,otherwise/or否则,不然,anyhow/anyway反正,不管怎样,even so即便如此,即使这样,or rather更确切地说等等。
请看下列选择题:
①Progress so far has been very good. _______, we are sure that the project will be completed on time.
A. Howeve B. Otherwise C. Therefore D. Besides
“一直进展良好”与“按时完工”是因果关系,用therefore。本题答案是C。
②The hurricane damaged many houses and business buildings;_____ , it caused 20 deaths.
A. or else B. therefore C. after all D. besides
由前后语境不难确定,是要表示“此外,还有,而且”,用besides。其它选项不合语境:or so大约;therefore因此;after all毕竟。本题答案是D。
③Much of the power of the trade unions has been lost. _ , their political influence should be very great. (2006广东)
A. As a result B. As usual C. Even so D. So far
由前后的语意逻辑可知,所填之词应是表示“即使如此”之意,用even so。句意:工会已经失去很多权力了;即使这样,他们的政治影响还应当还是很大的。本题答案是C。
6.too much和much too的区别
①too much有下列用法
too much的含义是“太多”,充当形容词用时,too是副词,用来修饰much,后接不可数名词。
I have too much homework to do.我有太多的家庭作业要做。
too much充当副词用时,可用来修饰动词
Watching TV too much is bad for your health.看电视看得太多对你的健康有害。
too much充当代词用时,后面不接名词,代替上下文提到的事物。
You gave me too much.你给我的太多了。
②much too意为“太”,much(副词)用来修饰too(副词),以加强语气,只可起副词作用,在句中修
饰形容词或副词。
It’s much too expensive.太贵了。
You walk(much)too far yesterday.昨天你散步走得太远了。
It’s much too cold.
