級 . The sooner you finish the job, the better. (4)表示倍數(shù),A is three/four…times/half/one third +比較級+than B . Your school is three times bigger than ours.36. almost在句中常修飾副詞、形容詞或動詞,通常不直接修飾名詞,應用almost all+名詞,因此B是錯誤的;mostly意思是“多半;大部分”,試看下列句子:The students in our class are mostly northerners. = Most of the students in our class are northerners.“我們班的學生多半是北方人。37. 考查much幾個形式相近的詞組含義。as much是個代詞詞組“那么;一樣多”,如: I had a quarrel with him. I guessed as much. 我和他吵了一架。 我就這么猜。that much = so much“那么多”,very much副詞詞組“非?!?。38. 考查語境中正確使用副詞詞組。根據(jù)答句中冒號及后面內容,可知是說“照這樣做”。as follows可以用做副詞或形容詞詞組,意思是“如下”,如:He explained it as follows. = His explanation was as follows.A項“照往常一樣”,那么不須后文再作解釋,因此不對。至于C、D沒有這樣的詞組,D如果是like that也對。39. 考查比較級的特殊句型?!芭c其…不如…”用more …. than …,在此結構中省略號部分是并列的兩個詞或詞組,如:The mother was more disappointed than angry when her son lied again. 當兒子再一次撒謊時,那位母親與其說是生氣,倒不如說是失望。另外,rather… than…和prefer to do… rather than do也可以表示“與其…不如…”,如:Rather than tell it to someone else, he preferred to keep it ,他寧愿保密。再如:Mr. Evans is ______ wise than smart. Few people can solve such a problem. A. no less B. no more C. less D. more 答案D40. 本題意思是“我發(fā)現(xiàn)唱片通常跟現(xiàn)場演出一樣好,或者更好”,因此空格處填同級比較。41. 本題考查形容詞副詞的特殊結構。can’t… too…意思是“再…也不為過;越…越…”,本題的意思是“你做得對。越小心越好”。其他的選項邏輯含義都不對。42. 本題考查形容詞作狀語。tired是形容人“疲倦的”,而tiring是形容事物的特性“累人的;讓人厭倦的”。形容詞作狀語時用來形容主語或賓語的狀態(tài),當修飾謂語動詞時則用副詞。如:After a long walk, the little boy got home at last, _____. A. tiredly and hungrily B. tiring and hungry C. tired and hungrily D. tired and hungry答案DMrs. Bush stood ______ for a moment when an old soldier suddenly appeared before her. A. surprised B. surprising C. being surprised D. to be surprising答案AHe went to bed ______, and when he woke up he found he still had his shoes on. A. drinking B. being drunk C. drunk D. having drunk答案C43. 考查比較級的特殊結構在語境中的使用。根據(jù)對話上下文的邏輯關系,第二個人說的話意思是“至少不比我上個星期烤的差”。因此用no worse than“不比…差;和…一樣好”。no用作形容詞和副詞時,可用于形容詞和副詞的比較級前,表示“并不、毫不、一樣不”。如:The boy is no taller than the girl. 這個男孩和這個女孩一樣高。44. 根據(jù)句意“真是個奇跡!在一個星期里他們至少完成了百分之三十的任務”,其中的“至少”應該用no less than,表示“不比……少;至少”?,F(xiàn)將易混詞組作簡要小結: at least = at the least = no fewer than = no less than至少;無論如何 at most = at the most = no more than最多①no more than“僅僅;只有;只不過”,含有強烈的感情色彩,表示說話者主觀上認為“少”反義:no less than“有…之多”,= as many/much as②not more than = less than “不到;少于”,是客觀陳述,無感情色彩,如:There are no more than 20 students in their class. 他們班只有二十個學生。There are not more than 20 students in their class. 他們班有不到二十個的學生。The book is no more interesting than that one. 這本書和那本書一樣沒意思。再如:How disappointing! They have finished ______ 5% of the work. A. no more than B. no less than C. more than D. not less than 答案A45. 考查特殊句型。根據(jù)句意“離開了父母后,他太想念他們了,紐約的讓人興奮的生活也不能讓他覺得開心”,應該用too… to…結構,表示“太…以至于不能…”。46. 一般來說,多個形容詞做定語時的順序為:限定詞(a/the/those)+數(shù)量形容詞(three)+描繪性形容詞(beautiful)+大小、長短、高低等形體性形容詞(large)+新舊(old)+顏色(brown)+國籍+材料+被修飾名詞。如:a heavy black Chinese steel umbrella______ lessons were not difficult. A. Our few first short English B. Our first few short English C. Our few first English short D. Few out first English short答案BWhile tidying the room, Jim found the ______ toy bought for him as a birthday present. A. fine plastic small B. plastic fine small C. small fine plastic D. fine small plastic答案D47. 考查幾個意義相近的形容詞的區(qū)別。根據(jù)句意“我想從他嘴里知道些新技術的信息,但他不說”。still 強調(人)沒有動作或聲響,(場所、時間)“寂靜的、無風的”;quiet 強調外在的安靜現(xiàn)象,指沒有吵鬧、騷亂的靜寂狀態(tài);silent 側重“沉默的;不說話的”,強調不發(fā)表意見;calm 既可表示內心的平靜,也可表示外在的平靜,既可形容人,也可形容天氣、海洋等。如: Please stand still while I take your picture. 我給你拍照時別動。 a still evening 一個寂靜的夜晚 She is a quiet girl. 她是個文靜的女孩。 He said he couldn’t keep silent. 他說他不能保持沉默。 The sea was calm after the storm. 風暴過后,大?;謴土似届o。48. 考查形容詞作定語的用法。詞組作定語時要后置于該名詞。fast既可作形容詞也可以作副詞。本題還涉及復合形容詞的構成。形容詞(數(shù)詞)/ 副詞+動詞ing,如:goodlooking“相貌好看的”,hardworking“勤勞的”,表示主動;副詞/形容詞(數(shù)詞)+ 動詞ed,如: wellknown“著名的”,widespread“廣泛流傳的”,表示被動。49. such遇到不定冠詞a/an時,要放在該冠詞之前,遇到all, no, one, few, several, some, any, many等 時,則放在后面,如:such a lovely day“這樣的好天氣”,all such possibilities“所有可能性”,any such thing“任何那種東西”,some such rude remark“這樣的粗話”。50. 考查形容詞在語境中的含義。Are you serious?意思是“你當真嗎?”51. 本句意思是“他不挑剔食物,幾乎什么都吃”。 nearly和almost的區(qū)別 ①在單純表示“時間、程度、進度”時,可通用 The building is almost/nearly pleted. 大樓將近完工。 ②在具體數(shù)字前用nearly The river is nearly 100 metres wide. 這條河近百米寬。 ③當表達“差不多;差一點兒就”時,用almost I almost fall. 我差點兒倒了。 ④almost與no, nothing, none, never等連用,而not與nearly連用,表示“遠不及;根 本沒有” Almost no one believed him. 幾乎無人信他的話。 His work isn’t nearly as good as hers. 他的作品遠不及她的好。52. 本題結構較復雜,可以將其結構簡單化,變成even some native speakers and writers of English find a small group of words confusing,這樣一來結構就明顯了,是find后面跟復合賓語,confusing是修飾事物,表示“令人疑惑的”,confused是指人的情緒,表示“困惑的”。53. least of all是most of all的反義詞,根據(jù)本題的意思“我最不喜歡這個職位”,因此放棄了這個職位。54. 形容詞likely意思是“可能的”,本句是個比較級句子,意思是“很少有別的電子產品能象機器人那樣更有可能引起人們對將來就業(yè)機會的恐懼”。55. 副詞immediately, directly可以引導從句,意思是“一…就…”。56. worth是個形容詞,在be worth 結構中用動名詞的主動表示被動,或用名詞?,F(xiàn)將worth, worthy, worthwhile的用法作總結如下: worth (be) (well) worth sth./doing sth. It is worth (one’s) while to do / doing of sth. (be) worthy of being done to be done worthwhile adj. “值得的;有價值的” . How much is this bicycle worth? It’s worth 500 yuan. 這輛自行車值多少錢?500元。 I don’t think it’s worth the trouble. 我覺得不值得那么麻煩。 The film “The Titanic” is well worth seeing once again. “泰坦尼克”這部電影很值得再看一遍。 It is worth your while to visit / visiting that beautiful city. 這個漂亮的城市值得你參觀。 These are the questions worth two points. 這些是兩分一題的題目。 This book is worthy of being read / to be read. 這本書值得一讀。 The visit to Beijing is worthwhile. 參觀北京是值得的。 a worthwhile cause/advice/job/book. 一項有價值的事業(yè)/建議/工作/書15
