形容词和副词
【2012年高考命题预测】
高考对形容词和副词的考查主要体现在:1、形容词、副词的用法及位置;2、形容词、副词词义辨析;3、形容词、副词的比较等级的修饰及常用句型。
通过对近年来的高考题分析,2012年高考试题还应着重形容词和副词在具体语境中的词义辨析机器比较级的用法。
【重难点突破】
【概述】形容词用来修饰名词或代词,表示他们的性质、状态或特征;副词用来修饰动词、形容词和其他副词等,使他们的意思更清楚、更准确,说明时间、地点、程度、方式等。
一、形容词和副词的基本用法
1、形容词主要作定语、表语、补语。
(2011?浙江卷)16.My schedule is very _____right now ,but I'll try to fit you in.【A】
A.tight B.short C.regular D.flexible
2、副词在句中主要作状语。
(2011?浙江卷)13.I've been writing this report ____for the last two weeks ,but it has to be handed it tomorrow.【C】
A.finally B.immediately C.occasionally D.certainly
3、定语形容词与表语形容词
A.表语形容词:有的形容词一般只作表语,如表示健康状况的well, unwell, ill, faint,表示情感反应的glad, sorry, fond, worth, able,以a开头的afraid, alone, asleep, alive, awake, alike, ashamed等。但有的可作后置定语或补语。
B.定语形容词:通常只作定语的形容词,如起强调作用的only(唯一的), single(唯一的), certain(某一), certain(真正的), true(真正的), very(正是), live(活的), exact(准确的), present(在场的),由名词等转化而来的wooden(木制的), woolen(羊毛制的), drunken(醉的), medical, daily, weekly, electric, former(前任的), some, any, little, many, 及one-eyed之类的复合形容词等。
4、形容词作定语的后置规律
形容词作定语一般位于所修饰的名词前,但是在下列情况下作定语的形容词却要位于所修饰的名词之后:形容词作定语一般位于所修饰的名词前,但是在下列情况下作定语
形容词短语作定语时要后置。
Students brave enough to take this adventure course will certainly learn a lot of useful skills.
表语形容词作定语要后置。
All the people present at the party were his supporters.
形容词修饰不定代词something, anything, nothing等时,要位于后面。
5、多个形容词作定语的排序
多个形容词修饰名词时,其排序规律是:限定词+程度副词+) 描绘性形容词+表示大小(长短、高低)、形状、年龄(新旧)的形容词+表颜色>的形容词+表国籍或产地的形容词+表物质的形容词+表类别或用途的形容词+名词。
注:限定词的排序:前位限定词 (指量限定词all, both, half等;倍数词double, twice等;分数词one-third, two-fifths等) +中位限定词 (冠词;指示代词;形容词性物主代词;名词所有格)+后位限定词 (序数词及last, next等;基数词及few, several等)等。
John Smith, a successful businessman, has a large white German car.
6、以-ly结尾的形容词
1) 大部分形容词加-ly可构成副词。但 friendly,deadly,lovely,lonely,likely,lively,ugly,brotherly,仍为形容词。
改错: (错) She sang lovely.
(错) He spoke to me very friendly.
(对) Her singing was lovely.
(对) He spoke to me in a very friendly way.
2)有些以-ly 结尾既为形容词,也为副词,如daily,weekly,monthly,yearly,early等。例如:
The Times is a weekly paper. 《时代周刊》为周刊。
The Times is published weekly. 《时代周刊》每周发行一期。
7、副词在句中的位置规律
1)、副词修饰形容词或其它副词时,一般位于被修饰词的前面,但enough却要放在被修饰的形容词或副词的后面。
If I had a long enough holiday , I’d visit Europe, stopping at the small interesting places.
2)、频度副词always, usually, often, never等一般放be动词之后。
3) 、表示地点的副词常放在句末;表示确定时间的副词放在句首或句末;表示方式的副词词通常放在“动词(+宾语)”之后,也可放在其它位置;同时有表示时间、地点和方式的副词时,其顺序一般为:方式+地点+时间。
After eating my dinner quickly ,I went to the railway station to see my friend off.
8、?ed形容词和-ing形容词的区别
-ed形容词,通常说明人,意为“(某人)感到…”;-ing形容词通常说明事物,意为“(某事物)令人…”或“令人…的(事物)”。这样成对的形容词有:interested / interesting; excited / exciting; frightened / frightening; surprised / surprising; pleased / pleasing; moved / moving; disappointed / disappointing等。
Laws that punish parents for their little children’s actions against the laws get parents worried。
9、用形容词表示类别和整体
1) 某些形容词加上定冠词可以泛指一类人,与谓语动词的复数连接,如the dead,the living,the rich,the poor,the blind,the hungry等。例如:
The poor are losing hope. 穷人行将失去希望。
2) 有关国家和民族的形容词加上定冠词指这个民族的整体,与动词的复数连用,如the British,the English,the French,the Chinese等。例如:
The English have wonderful sense of humor. 英国人颇有幽默感。
形容词、副词词义辨析
1、兼有两种形式的副词
1) close与closely
close意思是"近";closely 意思是"仔细地"。例如:
He is sitting close to me. 他就坐在我边上。
Watc h him closely. 盯着他。
2) late 与lately
late意思是"晚";lately 意思是"最近"。例如:
You have come too late. 你来得太晚了。
What have you been doing lately? 近来好吗?
3) deep与deeply
deep意思是"深",表示空间深度;deeply时常表示感情上的深度,"深深地"。例如:
He pushed the stick deep into the mud.他把棍子深深插进泥里。
Even father was deeply moved by the film.老爸也被电影深深打动了。
4) high与highly
high表示空间高度;highly表示程度,相当于much。例如:
The plane was flying high. 这架飞机飞得很高。
I think highly of your opinion. 你的看法很有道理。
5) wide与widely
wide表示空间宽度;widely意思是"广泛地","在许多地方"。例如:
He opened the door wide. 他把门开得大大的。
English is widely used in the world.英语在世界范围内广泛使用。
6) free与freely
free的意思是"免费";freely 的意思是"无限制地"。例如:
You can eat free in my restaurant whenever you like.无论什么时候,我这饭铺免费对你开放。
You may speak freely; say what you like.你可以畅所欲言,想说什么就说什么。
三、形容词、副词的比较等级
大多数形容词(性质形容词)和副词有比较级和最高级的变化,即原级、比较级和最高级,用来表示事物的等级差别。原级即形容词的原形,比较级和最高级有规则变化和不规则变化两种。
1) 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
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
big
bigger
biggest
"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
2) 不规则变化

better
best
bad
worse
worst
old
older/elder

much/many
more
most
little
less
least
far
farther/further
farthest/furthest
1).“as+ adj./adv. +as或not so(as)+ adj./ adv. +as.”句型。该句型常用来描述两个比较对象的程度上的相似或不同(即平时说的“等级比较和不等级比较”)。
My computer is not so(as) expensive as yours.
我的电脑不如你的贵重。
2).“as many/few+可数名词复数+as”或“as much/little(少的)+不可数名词+as”。前者描述数目上的接近,后者描述量的相近。
You may borrow as many books as you can.你能借多少书就借多少。“Drink as much water as you can.”the doctor said to him.
医生对他说到:“你要尽可能的多喝些水。”
3).“主语+比较级+than any other…”结构表示:主语所描述的事物比其他任何一个都……比较级形式表示最高级含义。
Li Ming is much cleverer than any other student in their class.
李明是他们班中最聪明的学生。
注意:若比较范围不同,than后应用“any+可数名词的复数形式+其他”。
China is larger than any countries in Africa.
中国比非洲上的任何国家都大。
4).诸如not, never之类的否定词与形容词或副词的比较级连用,表示最高级含义。意为:再没有比…更…的了。
It is not a better idea.这是再好不过的一个办法了。 I can’t agree more.
5).“形容词+to”结构也可表示比较含义。
This kind of car is superior in quality to that.
这种汽车的质量比那一种好得多(superior to意为:优于;胜过。)
Li ping is three years senior to Liu Gang.
李平比刘刚大三岁。(senior to意为:年长于;资格老于;地位高于。)
6).“no+比较级+than”结构表示对两个比较对象都进行否定(可由neither…nor…结构来改写)。例如: I’m no more foolish than you.我们俩都不傻。(相当于Neither I nor you is foolish.)
7).“not more+比较级+than”结构表示在程度上前者不如后者。
This book is not more interesting than that one.
这本书不如那本书有趣。
(相当于The book is less interesting than that one.)
8).“more+形容词+than+形容词”,意为:与其…倒不如…。
Jack is more hard than clever.与其说杰克聪明,倒不如说他学习用功。
9).would rather…than, prefer…to…, prefer to do…rather than…这三个句型表示“宁愿…而不愿…;喜欢…胜过…;宁愿做…而不愿做…”含义。虽无比较级形式,但表示比较级含义。
She would rather die than give in.她宁死不屈。
He preferred to go out rather than stay home.
他宁愿出去也不愿呆在家里。
10).“The+比较级…,the+比较级…”。该结构意为“越…,越…”。
The more difficult the questions are, the less likely he is able to answer them.
问题越难,他回答出来的可能性就越小。
注意:
1)要避免重复使用比较级。
(错) He is more cleverer than his brother.
(对) He is more clever than his brother.
(对) He is clever than his brother.
2)要避免将主语含在比较对象中。
(错) China is larger than any country in Asia.
(对) China is larger than any other countries in Asia.
3)要注意对应句型,遵循前后一致的原则。
The population of Shanghai is larger than that of Beijing.
It is easier to make a plan than to carry it out.
4)要注意定冠词在比较级中的使用。
比较:Which is larger, Canada or Australia?
Which is the larger country, Canada or Australia?
She is taller than her two sisters.
She is the taller of the two sisters.

卫辉一中2012届高三二轮备考抓分点透析之英语
形容词和副词
【2012年高考命题预测】
高考对形容词和副词的考查主要体现在:1、形容词、副词的用法及位置;2、形容词、副词词义辨析;3、形容词、副词的比较等级的修饰及常用句型。
通过对近年来的高考题分析,2012年高考试题还应着重形容词和副词在具体语境中的词义辨析机器比较级的用法。
【重难点突破】
【概述】形容词用来修饰名词或代词,表示他们的性质、状态或特征;副词用来修饰动词、形容词和其他副词等,使他们的意思更清楚、更准确,说明时间、地点、程度、方式等。
一、形容词和副词的基本用法
1、形容词主要作定语、表语、补语。

3、定语形容词与表语形容词
A.表语形容词:有的形容词一般只作表语,如表示健康状况的well, unwell, ill, faint,表示情感反应的glad, sorry, fond, worth, able,以a开头的afraid, alone, asleep, alive, awake, alike, ashamed等。但有的可作后置定语或补语。
B.定语形容词:通常只作定语的形容词,如起强调作用的only(唯一的), single(唯一的), certain(某一), certain(真正的), true(真正的), very(正是), live(活的), exact(准确的), present(在场的),由名词等转化而来的wooden(木制的), woolen(羊毛制的), drunken(醉的), medical, daily, weekly, electric, former(前任的), some, any, little, many, 及one-eyed之类的复合形容词等。
4、形容词作定语的后置规律
形容词作定语一般位于所修饰的名词前,但是在下列情况下作定语的形容词却要位于所修饰的名词之后:形容词作定语一般位于所修饰的名词前,但是在下列情况下作定语
形容词短语作定语时要后置。
Students brave enough to take this adventure course will certainly learn a lot of useful skills.
表语形容词作定语要后置。
All the people present at the party were his supporters.
形容词修饰不定代词something, anything, nothing等时,要位于后面。
5、多个形容词作定语的排序
多个形容词修饰名词时,其排序规律是:限定词+程度副词+) 描绘性形容词+表示大小(长短、高低)、形状、年龄(新旧)的形容词+表颜色>的形容词+表国籍或产地的形容词+表物质的形容词+表类别或用途的形容词+名词。
注:限定词的排序:前位限定词 (指量限定词all, both, half等;倍数词double, twice等;分数词one-third, two-fifths等) +中位限定词 (冠词;指示代词;形容词性物主代词;名词所有格)+后位限定词 (序数词及last, next等;基数词及few, several等)等。
John Smith, a successful businessman, has a large white German car.
6、以-ly结尾的形容词
1) 大部分形容词加-ly可构成副词。但 friendly,deadly,lovely,lonely,likely,lively,ugly,brotherly,仍为形容词。
改错: (错) She sang lovely.
(错) He spoke to me very friendly.
(对) Her singing was lovely.
(对) He spoke to me in a very friendly way.
2)有些以-ly 结尾既为形容词,也为副词,如daily,weekly,monthly,yearly,early等。例如:
The Times is a weekly paper. 《时代周刊》为周刊。
The Times is published weekly. 《时代周刊》每周发行一期。
7、副词在句中的位置规律
1)、副词修饰形容词或其它副词时,一般位于被修饰词的前面,但enough却要放在被修饰的形容词或副词的后面。
If I had a long enough holiday , I’d visit Europe, stopping at the small interesting places.
2)、频度副词always, usually, often, never等一般放be动词之后。
3) 、表示地点的副词常放在句末;表示确定时间的副词放在句首或句末;表示方式的副词词通常放在“动词(+宾语)”之后,也可放在其它位置;同时有表示时间、地点和方式的副词时,其顺序一般为:方式+地点+时间。
After eating my dinner quickly ,I went to the railway station to see my friend off.
8、?ed形容词和-ing形容词的区别
-ed形容词,通常说明人,意为“(某人)感到…”;-ing形容词通常说明事物,意为“(某事物)令人…”或“令人…的(事物)”。这样成对的形容词有:interested / interesting; excited / exciting; frightened / frightening; surprised / surprising; pleased / pleasing; moved / moving; disappointed / disappointing等。
Laws that punish parents for their little children’s actions against the laws get parents worried。
9、用形容词表示类别和整体

The poor are losing hope. 穷人行将失去希望。
2) 有关国家和民族的形容词加上定冠词指这个民族的整体,与动词的复数连用,如the British,the English,the French,the Chinese等。例如:
The English have wonderful sense of humor. 英国人颇有幽默感。
形容词、副词词义辨析
1、兼有两种形式的副词
1) close与closely
close意思是"近";closely 意思是"仔细地"。例如:
He is sitting close to me. 他就坐在我边上。
Watc h him closely. 盯着他。
2) late 与lately
late意思是"晚";lately 意思是"最近"。例如:
You have come too late. 你来得太晚了。
What have you been doing lately? 近来好吗?
3) deep与deeply
deep意思是"深",表示空间深度;deeply时常表示感情上的深度,"深深地"。例如:
He pushed the stick deep into the mud.他把棍子深深插进泥里。
Even father was deeply moved by the film.老爸也被电影深深打动了。
4) high与highly
high表示空间高度;highly表示程度,相当于much。例如:
The plane was flying high. 这架飞机飞得很高。
I think highly of your opinion. 你的看法很有道理。
5) wide与widely
wide表示空间宽度;widely意思是"广泛地","在许多地方"。例如:
He opened the door wide. 他把门开得大大的。

三、形容词、副词的比较等级
大多数形容词(性质形容词)和副词有比较级和最高级的变化,即原级、比较级和最高级,用来表示事物的等级差别。原级即形容词的原形,比较级和最高级有规则变化和不规则变化两种。
1) 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

My computer is not so(as) expensive as yours.
我的电脑不如你的贵重。
2).“as many/few+可数名词复数+as”或“as much/little(少的)+不可数名词+as”。前者描述数目上的接近,后者描述量的相近。

医生对他说到:“你要尽可能的多喝些水。”

李明是他们班中最聪明的学生。
注意:若比较范围不同,than后应用“any+可数名词的复数形式+其他”。

这种汽车的质量比那一种好得多(superior to意为:优于;胜过。)
Li ping is three years senior to Liu Gang.
李平比刘刚大三岁。(senior to意为:年长于;资格老于;地位高于。)
6).“no+比较级+than”结构表示对两个比较对象都进行否定(可由neither…nor…结构来改写)。例如: I’m no more foolish than you.我们俩都不傻。(相当于Neither I nor you is foolish.)
7).“not more+比较级+than”结构表示在程度上前者不如后者。
This book is not more interesting than that one.
这本书不如那本书有趣。
(相当于The book is less interesting than that one.)
8).“more+形容词+than+形容词”,意为:与其…倒不如…。
Jack is more hard than clever.与其说杰克聪明,倒不如说他学习用功。
9).would rather…than, prefer…to…, prefer to do…rather than…这三个句型表示“宁愿…而不愿…;喜欢…胜过…;宁愿做…而不愿做…”含义。虽无比较级形式,但表示比较级含义。
She would rather die than give in.她宁死不屈。
He preferred to go out rather than stay home.
他宁愿出去也不愿呆在家里。
10).“The+比较级…,the+比较级…”。该结构意为“越…,越…”。
The more difficult the questions are, the less likely he is able to answer them.
问题越难,他回答出来的可能性就越小。
注意:
1)要避免重复使用比较级。
(错) He is more cleverer than his brother.
(对) He is more clever than his brother.
(对) He is clever than his brother.
2)要避免将主语含在比较对象中。
(错) China is larger than any country in Asia.
(对) China is larger than any other countries in Asia.
3)要注意对应句型,遵循前后一致的原则。
The population of Shanghai is larger than that of Beijing.
It is easier to make a plan than to carry it out.
4)要注意定冠词在比较级中的使用。
比较:Which is larger, Canada or Australia?
Which is the larger country, Canada or Australia?
She is taller than her two sisters.
She is the taller of the two sisters.

考点:考查副词词义辨析
解析:这道题可能会让一部分同学郁闷一小下。形近词的辨析历来是备受考试青睐的一种考法。乍一眼看上去,这四个词都是以ly结尾,又都是6个字母组成,实在难以辨识。此时的考生,需要冷静下来。分析这里的每 个副词分别是由哪个形容词变化而来,而其形容词的含义实际上和其副词的含义相差无几。“most”(大部分),所以“mostly”(大部分地,通常地); “near”(临近)“nearly”(几乎)= almost; rare(稀有的)“rarely”(很少地,几乎不);“mere”(仅仅,只 不过)“merely”(仅仅,只不过)。全句意思“我并没有责 怪任何人,我只是说类似这种错误是可以避免的”。
(10辽宁)23.Jim went to answer the phone. _______, Harry started to prepare lunch.
A. However B. Nevertheless C. Besides D. Meanwhile
答案:D
句意:吉姆去接电话,与此同时,哈里开始准备午餐。
解析:考查副词用法。前后两个句子是相同的语义关系,在时间上表示同时,所以用meanwhile。
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
句意:我们只有100美元,他怎么也不够买一台新电脑的。
解析:考查副词用法。nowhere near是固定短语,意思是“差得远;远不及”,相当于一个形容词,enough做副词用,修饰形容词或副词时,应该放在被修饰词的后面。
