2006届高考英语第二轮总复习讲座之一
Unit4 形容词和副词
一、形容词、副词的作用与位置 通常:
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。宾补和状语。 2)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。
1. 近义词的辨析;2.考查级;3. 顺序;4.系表结构 以下属几种特殊情况,须牢记:
(1)形容词短语作定语,定语后置。
a language difficult to master, a leaning tower about 180 feet high
(2)表语形容词(afraid、alike、alone、asleep、awake、alive,ashamed,aware等)作定语,定语后置。如a man alive。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”。
(3)用作定语,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。(若前有定冠词等修饰时,不定代词名词化,则形容词前置:the mysterious something)
(4)else常用作疑问代词和不定代词的后置定语。
(5)enough、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。(students brave enough)
(6)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。如:
We had a good time together outdoors last Sunday.
(7)频度副词如often、always、usually等在be动词后,行为动词前。
(8)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。
方法:1)强记 ;2) 口决/顺口溜;3)背句子结构;4)语感 如:
a heavy black Chinese steel umbrella,
the man’s first tow interesting little red French oil paitings 二、以-ly结尾的词性辨析。
①下列单词以-ly结尾,但却是形容词而非副词:lively、lonely、lovely、deadly、friendly、ugly、silly、likely、brotherly、timely等。
②表原意(无-ly)和引申意(有-ly)的副词:
deep深 wide宽广 high高 low位置低 deeply深入地 widely广泛地 highly高度地 lowly地位卑微 ③有无-ly意义大不相同的副词: dead完全,绝对be dead asleep deadly非常be deadly tired
pretty相当be pretty certain that… prettily漂亮地be prettily dressed close近Don’t sit close. closely密切地Watch closely! late晚、迟arrive late, come late
lately最近I haven’t seen him lately(recently).
四、形容词和副词的比较等级
(1)原级的构成和用法。
构成:形容词、副词的原级即本身。
用法:表示双方在程度、性质、特征等某方面相等时, 1) 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;
2) 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。如:
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. 注意:1. 倍数the n. of n; 倍数 more than 2. as …as 中间会用名词,考查语序 (2)比较级和最高级
构成: 掌握比较级和最高级的变化规则,熟记少数不符合规则的特殊形容词和副词。 (3)比较级的用法。(考查时不给出比较对象,要求根据语境自己去推导,难度最大的还是在短改当中,考虑上下文)
①对方比较,表示一方超过另一方时,用“比较级 + than”的结构表示。如:
This picture is more beautiful than that one.
②表示一方不及另一方时,用“less + 原级 + than”的结构表示。如:
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 far等修饰。如:
He works even harder than before.
注意:1)英语的比较级前如无even、still或yet等时,译成汉语时可用“较”或“…一些”或不译出,一般不可有“更”。如:
She is better than she was yesterday Please come earlier tomorrow.
2)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”。如:
He is taller by far than his brother.
He is by far the taller of the two brothers.
3) 不能修饰比较级的词:very , too, so , quite(表示身体状况可用) 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 more…, the more…) 如:
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。(more and more ) 如:
The weather is getting colder and colder. ⑥ 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. ⑦倍数表达法。(A)A is three(four, etc.)times the size(height, length etc.)of B.这座新楼是那座旧楼的四倍大(高)。The new building is four times the size(the height)of the old one.这座新楼比那座旧楼大三倍(高三倍)。(B)A is three(four, etc.)times as big(high, long, etc.)as B. Asia is four times as large as Europe.亚洲比欧洲大三倍。(C)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.
注:含比较级的短语:no sooner…than; sooner or later; what’s worse/more; to make things worse; no more than; no more; no longer (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。如:
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。如:
This hat is by far / much / nearly / almost / not nearly / by no means / not quite / nothing like the biggest. ③作状语的副词最高级前可以不加定冠词。如:
Of all the boys he came(the)earliest. 五、几组重要的词语辨析。
(1)关于原级形容词要记住下列固定的修饰结构:(a)修饰绝对意义的形容词,一般不用very,而用quite completely、well、entirely。如:quite wrong(mistaken, sure)、completely dead、quite impossible、quite perfect等。(b)修饰以a-开头的形容词,多有特殊的修饰词:quite alone, very much alone, wide awake, fast asleep, very much afraid。(c)修饰一些特殊形容词的修饰语有:be well worth, much the same, freezing cold, quite different, terribly cold / frightening。 (2)so … that … 与such … that … 的区别。
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 …
注意:下列结构中只能用so不可用such,当名词前有many、much、little、few等表示“多、少”的词修饰时,如 so much progress、so many people、so little food、so few apples等。但当little表示“小”时用such。如:These are such little boys that they can’t dress themselves.下列so的用法是错误的:so a diffcult problem,so difficult problems, so hot weather。 ③其他几组词的辨析。(A)ago、before: ago表示以现在为起点的“以前”;before指以过去或将来的某时刻为起点的“以前”。泛指“以前”用before而不用ago。(B)already、yet、still:already表示某事已经发生;yet表示期待某事发生;still表示某事还在进行,主要用于肯定句。
(C)too、also、either: too和also用于肯定句,too多用于口语,also多用于书面语,either用于否定句。(D)good、well:与good不同的是,well作形容词,只能在系动词后作表语,表示“身体状况好”,也作副词修饰动词。(E)quick、fast:作形容词皆表“快”。fast多指运动的物体,含持续的意思。quick多指一次动作的敏捷、突然,而且持续的时间较短。(F)real、true:形容词表“真的”。real强调真实存在的而不是幻想的,在句中常作定语;true指与事实标准和实际情况相符合,在句中作表语或定语。(G)hard、difficult:均表“困难”,但hard通常指体力上困难;difficult则指智力或技能上的困难,困难程度大于hard。它们都可作定语和表语。
