例三:Although he was disabled when he was only ten years of age, yet he aimed _____, for which his classmates spoke _______ of him.
A. high; high B. highly; highly
C. highly; high D. high; highly
答案D。high做副词,在这里的语境里是表示“at or to a high rank or level of achievement, especially within a company”,也就是“高的地位和成就等”。又如:My parents always encouraged me to aim high。highly做副词,“if you think highly of someone or something, you think they are very good and you admire them”,也就是“高度地”评价,又如:I've always thought very highly of Michael.
二、要记准形容词词组和动词词组的搭配结构
高中阶段同学们要掌握一定量的词组,主要是搭配结构。记忆好这些词组的语义是快速、准确回答有关形容词和副词题目的关键。
例一:This magazine is very with young people, who like its content and style.
A. familiar B. popular
C. similar D. particular
答案B。be popular with sb,是指“受到喜爱和欢迎”等。
例二:He began to take political science
only when he left school.
A. strictly B. truly
C. carefully D. seriously
答案D。take sth seriously是重视(认真对待)某事。
例三:It’s hard for him playing against me. I’ve got nothing to play for, but for him, he needs to win so ________.
A. far B.well C. little D. badly
答案D。need sth badly是非常需要,同样还可以搭配动词want等。
在这里还要提醒同学注意两个问题:
一是多个词修饰一个名词是排序问题:
例如:This __________ girl is Lind’s cousin.
A. pretty little Spanish
B. Spanish little pretty
C. Spanish pretty little
D. little pretty Spanish
答案A。多个词修饰一个名词时,要求先放第一位限定词,即冠词、代词等;然后是数量形容词,如five;再后放主观性描述词,如handsome,nice等;接着放客观性描述词,其顺序是:大小、长短、高低、新旧、颜色、国籍、材料、用途等。考试命题一般要排列的词也就三、四个,不必过虑。记住总原则是与被修饰的名词关系较密切的靠近名词就行了。
二是倍数关系也涉及排序,要注意比较的句型结构。
例如:What a table ! I’ve never seen such a thing before .It is it is long.
A.half not as wide as
B.wide not as half as
C.not half as wide as
D.as wide as not half
答案C。是…times as +形容词/副词原级 +as…的句型。
三、要学会辨析近义词
意义相近的形容词和副词在辨析起来是比较困难的,原因是我们喜欢用中文翻译,结果发现,翻出来是同一个词。其实,我们可以换一个思路,比如,利用他们对应的反义词来分辨这些近义词的不同。
例如 I tried hard to get some information about the new technology out of his mouth, but he remained .
A. quiet B. secret
C. silent D. calm
答案C。remained silent是“缄口不言”,其反义为wordy;而quiet对应noisy,secret对应public,calm对应wild,很容易就可以判断出如何选择。
修饰语的同义辨析固然重要,但大部分的考题都是不同形容词、副词词义在基本认知意义上的辨析,要更加关注。
四、要根据题干,把握语义,选准修饰词,这是训练的重点
选择哪个修饰词,关键要看题干给出的语境。对备选项的词要做到全部认知。这样,在选择时才能把握准确的语义。
例一:It is not socially________ for parents to leave children unattended at that age.
A.accessible B.adorable
C.adaptable D.acceptable
答案D。acceptable,可接受的。accessible,可以使用(或得到)的、能进入的;adorable,令人热爱、敬仰的;adaptable,可适应的。
例二:She devoted herself to her research and it earned her a good reputation in her field.
A. strongly B. extremely
C. entirely D. freely
答案C。entirely,全部地。strongly,有力的;extremely,极端地;freely,自由地。
例三:Water can absorb and give off a lot of heat without big changes in temperature, thus creating a environment.
A. peaceful B. sensitive
C. common D. stable
答案D。stable,稳定的。peaceful,平和的;sensitive,敏感地;common,共同的、普遍的。
例四:My mother always gets a bit ____ if we don’t arrive when we say we will.
A.anxious B.ashamed
C.weak D.patient
答案A。anxious,焦急的。ashamed,羞耻的、内疚的;weak,虚弱的;patient,耐心的。
例五:The trips usually start on Friday night and end on Sunday night, making them ______ for students and workers.
