A the other B the others C other D others? [答案]B.
[析]此空应填入主语。又因其范围已定,所以应选特指的代名词。the other只能用作单数,而others是泛指复数代名词,故只能选B。 34 It was___ fine day that they went to the park. A a so B so a C such a D a such? [答案]C.
[析]在单数可数名词前可以有两种表达法,即such+不定冠词+形容词+可数名词单数形式,如:such a good day,或者用so加形容词+不定冠词+可数名词单数,如:so good a day.

四、 形容词、副词?
(一) 知识概要?
形容词的用法很活跃,在英语中用处也很多,但英语中修饰可数名词和不可数名词的修饰语和词组有时不同,要特别加以注意。下面将初中学习阶段中遇到的修饰可数名词的词和词组归纳如下:many, no, several, some, a few, a lot, lots, plenty, plenty of, a lot of, a large number of, enough。而修饰不可数名词的词或词组如下:much, no, some, a lot, a great deal, lots, plenty, a lot of, plenty of。?其中some, no, a lot of, plenty of既可修饰可数名词又可修饰不可数名词。?英语中形容词与副词有原级、比较级、最高级之分,其规则如下:?
构词法 原 级 比较级 最高级 加er,或est Tall young taller? younger tallest youngest
只加r或st nice? large nicer larger nicest? largest
重读闭音节末尾只有一个辅音 字母时双写该字母加er、est big? fat? hot
bigger fatter hotter
biggest? fattest hottest
不规则变化的形容词或副词:? 原 级 比较级 最高级 good better best Well better best bad worse worst badly worse worst
- 27 -
many more most most more most little less lest far farther further farthest furthest
old older? elder
oldest? eldest
要注意的是许多形容词同时又是副词,如:back, all, alone, either, far, high, slow等。而有些形容词则要经过一定变化才能转为副词,其规律如下:? 构词法 形容词 副 词 一般加ly Careful kind
carefully kindly
尾是y时将y变成i加ly Happy busy easy Happily busily easily
其 他 true terrible full possible shy whole truly terribly fully possibly shyly wholly
在学习过程中要注意其变化。?
此外并不是所有副词都可以修饰比较级和最高级形容词。能修饰比较级的有:
- 28 -
much, yet, far, still, a great deal, even 和a little. 能修饰最高级的有:the very, much the, far等。? (二) 正误辨析?
[误] The young likes playing football very much.? [正] The young like playing football very much.?
[析] 定冠词加形容词表示一类人,应作复数看待。而定冠词加形容词表示抽象事物时则要看作单数,如:The beautiful is not always kindness.美丽并不总代表善良。?
[误] The danger has gone, so the worst are over.? [正] The danger has gone, so the worst is over.?
[析] 意为:\危险已经过去,最困难的状况已结束。\用定冠词加最高级形容词作主语时应看作单数形式。?
[误] It is the gold age of the young.? [正] It is the golden age of the young.?
[析] golden在英语中多用于比喻,如:golden hair金发,gulden voice金嗓子。而gold多用于表达金质的,如:a gold bar金条,a gold coin金币,但gold fish 金鱼例外。
[误] She is a warm heart woman.?
[正] She is a warm?hearted woman.?
[析] 英语形容词的构词法很多,其中之一是由形容词,或数词,加名词加ed构成,如:?warm?hoarted 热心肠的,white?haired 白毛的? [误] There is an alive fish in the pool.? [正] There is a living fish in the pool.? [析] 在初中范围内所学到的以a字母开头的形容词一般不能作定语,只能作表语。如:The fish is alive.(鱼还活着)这样的形容词有:alive, alike, alone, asleep, afraid, awake等。?
[误] The ill man nearly died.? [正] The sick man nearly died.?
[析] ill一般不作定语来形容某人有病,而要用sick,但作表语时则都可以。如:He is ill sick, ill作定语时则另有他意,如:ill luck (厄运),ill nature(天性恶劣),ill temper(心绪不好)?
[误] I have important something to tell you.? [正] I have something important to tell you.?
[析] 不定代词something, anyone, somebody?在用形容词修饰时,形容词应放其后。但要注意thing则不是不定代词,不符合上述规律。如:I have an important thing to tell you.?
[误] I'll be free on next Sunday.? [正] I'll be free next Sunday.? [析] 在表达将来时的时候:next Sunday, next week, next year或last Sunday last
- 29 -
week, last year前都不加介词。? [误] The girl is two?year old.? [正] The girl is two years old.?
[正] She is a two?year?old girl?? [析] 由连字符连接若干名词、数词??组成的形容词,在学习时要记住两点,其一是这些词中的名词都不要用复数形式,如:two?thousand?word report(两千字的报告);其二是这样构成的形容词只能作定语,即用于名词之前,而不能作表语。?
[误] The foreigners like those little beautiful Chinese paintings.? [正] The foreigners like those beautiful little Chinese paintings.? [析] 在名词前若有几个形容词作修饰语时,其顺序如下。? 1. 指示代词,定冠词 2. 数量词 3. 性质词 4. 大小? 5. 形状 6. 老少,新旧 7. 颜色 8. 材料?
但要注意的是英语的习惯是一个名词前的形容词一般不要多于三个。? 如: What a pretty little white horse!?
Those first few short English stories were not difficult to understand. ?
[误] The best way to learn English good is to speak with Englishman every day. [正] The best way to learn English well is to speak with Englishman every day. [析] good是形容词,这里是修饰动词speak的,所以应用副词well,但well作形容词讲时只作身体好。如:He is well.(他身体很好)。He is good.(他是个好人)。?
[误] The children play on the grass nappyly.? [正] The children play on the grass happily??
[析] 多音节y结尾的形容词变为副词时应将y变为i再加ly.? [误] The teacher looked angry at the students.? [正] The teacher looked angrily at the students.?
[析] 英语中感观动词后面要接形容词,这时它是修饰主语的,如:The food smells good.食物闻起来很香。The teacher looked angry 老师看起来很生气。? 而此句的意思为:\老师生气地看着学生\,所以应用副词形式。? [误] He worked with me friendly.? [正] He was friendly to me.?
[析] 不是所有结尾是ly的词都是副词,但friendly是形容词,这样的词还有lovely, lonely, costly, lively?monthly weekly?。但其中有些词既是副词,又是形容词,如:early, hourly, monthly??
[误] You can speak free in front of your friends.? [正] You can speak freely in front of your friends.?
[析] free作为形容词意为\自由的,有空闲的,免费的\。作为副词讲则是\免费\之意。而freely作为副词则是\自由的,随便的\。这些要注意的词还有:?hard 努力,艰苦 hardly 几乎不 late 迟,晚?lately 最近的,最新的 near 近
