8、做前置定语的顺序。县官行令杀国才。这一句就概述了形容词顺序问题。即:限(冠词物主代词、指示代词数词等)观 (描绘) 形(大小、形状等) 龄 (年龄、新旧等)色(色彩)国(国籍、出处等)材(材料、功用等)an interesting English film a heavy black Chinese silk umbrella做后置定语。修饰由不定代词no ,any, some ,every和one,thing等构成的复合词或形容词短语。2表语。一定要注意系动词的出现情况。这是一个高考热点问题。常见系动词有:be 变化系词: become, get ,turn, grow, go保持系词: k

11、telling lies,so I will never believe him.3)程度副词一般放在被修饰词之前(但 enough除外)He is very young ,so he is not old enough to go to school.N:有些副词有两种形式,一个与形容词同形,一个以ly 结尾,但它们的含义是不同的。closely-close nearly-near freely-free deeply-deep highly-high widely-wide 等。以ly 结尾的词表较为抽象的含义,而与形容词同形的副词则表较为具体的概念。He is highly praise

35、her C. the higher D. the highest语法复习十三:形容词和副词1C原题中的three sisters这一信息词语暗示考生要用最高级的形式。clever的最高级有两种:the most clever,the cleverest2Cmostly是副词,意思是:主要地,修饰整个句子。用most时应为most of the students;用almost通常说almost all+n.3Asuch与so修饰名词时可这样使用。so+形容词+a/an+可数名词的单数so many/few十可数名词复数 so much/little+不可数名词4Afew修饰可数名词的复数;mu
36、ch修饰不可数名词。5DA、C项是语法错误。asas之间不能用比较级形式。B项也是语法错误,than前没有比较级,把than变成as就对了。实际上not asas=not more than6Dsound是听起来的意思。它是系动词,其后接形容词做表语。类似的系动词还有look seem taste smell fell7Asome常用在肯定句中,而any常用在否定、疑问和条件句中。8Cgrain是不可数名词。A项是语法错误,asas之间用原级,B项few不修饰grain,D项也如此。9C表示倍数的词与其他表示程度的副词修饰asas结构时,应放在其前面。10C该题考查了考生是否掌握形容词比较级的
37、两种形式,该句可理解为:The pianos in the other shop will be cheaper,but not as good as those in this shop.11D此处可理解为the box is too heavy for you to carry12Dno longer强调时间;no more强调数量和次数。13Cbetter这一信息词可暗示考生用比较级形式,less修饰不可数名词,fewer修饰可数名词的复数。14Cwhat与how修饰名词引起的感叹句: what+a/an+形容词十单数可数名词 what+形容词+可数名词复数 what +形容词+不可数名
38、词 How+形容词+a/an+可数名词单数注意what的用法与sach相似,how与so相似。且give sB. a surprise是惯用法。15A用来修饰比较级的副词有:a little,a bit;even still;far,by far;a lot,a great deal;much,any(用于否定、疑问);rather16A用比较级表示最高级的意思,用than+any other+单数名词(包括主语在内)或用any+单数名词(比较范围不包括主语在内)。因加拿大不属亚洲。如,把Asia改为North America,则B正确。17Ataste是系动词,后接形容词做表语。B项well
39、如果是形容词,表示身体好。但Things are well with me属于特殊情况。参看6题。18C参看15题。19D参看14题。20Bwhere引导表语从句,且where在表语从句中做地点状语。21A当open做宾补时,一般用它的形容词,不用它的现在分词。又如:with his eyes open/closed22Bany修饰比较级时,一般用于疑问句和否定句中。23D表示两者中最的意思,用the+比较级。此句可理解Canada is the larger of the two countries.24Dno more与no longer变成notany more或notany longe
40、r时any more和any longer要置于句尾,可参看12题。25 Bhow often表示频率,与题意不符。how long句中的谓语动词应用延续性动词,是多久的意思。D项rapid是形容词不能修饰动词。How soon的回答词用in+时间,因此,全句的意思是:在多长时间之内(或以后)你能画完画?且句中谓语是瞬间动词。26D可参看14题。weather是不可数名词。27D此处可理解为Its quicker to go by road than by train28D参看14题。29A原题中的but与excellent两个信息词可暗示考生,且not asas相当于not more tha
41、n,因此,该句的意思是:她讲的不如朋友的好,但她的笔头好。30Cwell是形容词身体好的意思。这是Its+adj+enoush to do sth句型。该句意思是:我身体已好,可以返回学校了。31B形容词的比较级修饰可数名词的单数时,前面不要忘了加a,泛指比较的-个。例如,This shirt is a little largerCould you show me a smaller one?32B是29题的创新。该句的意思是:如果不比David好的话,那么会跟David踢的一样好。if not better than为插入语。33A从even when theres not much to
42、say这一信息句可知。now and then相当于sometimes,occasionally和from time to time,B项by and by=soon,C项step by step=gradually,D项more or less=about,修饰名词,但也可修饰动词,作状语。34A从答语中by car可知,how问的是方式。35Dhave a good/happy time是惯用法,much修饰比较级。参看31题。36Amore与another在表示再、又时,用法不同,more置于数词后面,而another置于数词的前面。37Ainformation是不可数名词。have a
43、 word with sb相当于speak/talk to/with sb与谈话。38Chowever是连接副词,修饰形容词great并引导一个让步4状语从句,意思是:无论困难有多大。39D下大雨应说 rain hard/heavily40D意为:我从未听过比她还好的噪音。用比较级表达最高级的概念。41C要知道形容词排列作定语的顺序。42B与41题考查的目的相同。43B可参看3题。44D从下文Its better to be sure than sorry即确信要比后悔好可知,填入D项。A、B、C项不符合逻辑。45C该题考查副词用法。四个选项均为副词的比较级或最高级,题干的两个并列分句中,已给出some short stories和his plays这一特定的语境,表示二者之间的比较需用副词的比较级。well known是一惯用词组,意为出名的、众所周知的,well的比较级为better,故答案为C。46C形容词作后置定语。enough为副词,修饰形容词brave,放在其后。47D意为在国外通常是困难的,特别是你不会说外语。48D意为我很吃惊你竟然被这么简单的一个诡计愚弄了。此处,只有用D项才能准确表达这种语气。49D教学更像是一门科学。第一个as为副词。50D。51B。
