1.在形容词、副词词义辨析类题目中,正确理解语境和熟练掌握词汇同样重要。
2.对于形容词、副词的比较级类题目,结合句意弄清有无比较意义是解题的关键。其题型为:【1】直接型:题目中有than,as等标志性词汇;【2】间接型:题目中没有标志性词汇,考生需要根据题中隐含的信息做出判断。
3.比较级暗含最高级的意义是易错点。如,“I’ve never had a more pleasant one before”表达的意义为:这次旅行是最让我感到愉快的一次。
4.在做倍数表达类题目时,要牢记倍数应该放在比较级的最前面。
一、形容词、副词的比较等级
1.平级比较
【1】as+形容词【副词】原级+as...和……一样;not as/so+形容词【副词】原级+as...不如……。

二、倍数表达法
表示倍数的句型:

【2】A is+倍数+as+原级+as+B
【3】A is+倍数+the+名词【size,length,height 等】+of+B
【4】A is+倍数+that+of+B
【5】A is+倍数+what 引导的名词性从句

形容词或形容词短语可作原因、时间、结果、伴随状语。

②Having been praised by the teacher,the little girl ran back home,happy and
12
satisfied.
被老师表扬之后,这个小女孩非常满意,高兴地跑回家了。
四、多个形容词作定语时的排序
限定词【these,those...】+数量形容词【three】+观点【描绘】性形容词【beautiful】+大小、长短、高低等形体性形容词【large,long,high】+年龄、新旧【old】+颜色【red】+国籍【Chinese】+材料【wood】+用途【writing】+被修饰的名词【desk】。称之为“限定描绘大长高,形状年龄和新老,颜色国籍原材料,作用类别往后靠”。
a few big round new black French wooden tables
几张新的大而圆的法国黑色木桌子
五、副词的位置
1.副词一般位于被修饰词的前面,但enough较特殊,要放在被修饰的形容词或副词的后面。
Strangely enough,some famous scientists have the qualities of being both careful and careless.
很奇怪,一些著名的科学家具有粗心和细心双重特点。
2.so/that+adj.+a/an+n.

1.除了副词词义辨析外,yet但是,besides此外,而且,still仍然,though虽然,however然而,meanwhile与此同时也是高频考点。解答此类题目首先要把握副词词义,然后采用句子翻译法,分析前后两句的逻辑关系,从而得出正确答案。
