形容词 ，副词经典讲解

形容词、副词通过几年的高考试题的分析不难看出1）涉及形容词、副词比较级的对象、范围的考点很多，所以加强对此部分的理解和掌握显得尤为重要。2）考题中形容词、副词比较级的用法灵活多样，如用比较级形式表最高级含义，古应特别注意积累和归纳。3）as…as…结构的基本模式尤其它的变体形式比较复杂，考生对此不可以掉以轻心。4）高考题中常出现考查多个形容词作前置定语的用法。因为当几个形容词同做定语时，如何排列它们的顺序成了难点，很多考生只是凭感觉，缺乏理性指导，所以容易出错。

知识点归纳:

（一）形容词的作用

1. 作定语： 特别注意多个形容词作定语时的排列顺序。

2. 作表语：通常与系动词be , get , grow , become , feel , appear, prove , seem, look, keep, smell, taste, sound , turn, remain 等连用。

如: Our classroom is clean. The weather is getting cooler and cooler.

3. 作宾补: 如：The news made every one happy.

4. 与定冠词一起表示某一类人或物，在句中可作主语、宾语。

如:The rich and the poor live very different lives.

5. 作状语，表示伴随状况、原因、结果等。如

He went to bed, cold and hungry.

She stared into the distance, speechless for a moment.

（二）副词的作用

1. 作状语：通常修饰动词、形容词、副词或整个句子。如

2. 作表语，如：One of the tyres is down.

3. 作定语，如：

The population here is getting smaller and smaller.

One my way home, I saw an old lady sitting under a tree alone.

4. 作宾补（副词构成复合宾语的情况较少），如：

I saw Mrs Green out with her husband.

5. 构成短语

表示位置的副词可与动词构成短语，表示特定的意思。如

pick out (挑选)，turn up （露面）

（三）容易出错的几个注意点

1. 下列以a-开头的形容词通常只用作表语：

afraid, alike , alive , alone, asleep, awake, ashamed , afloat (飘浮的), aware (知道的)等。

另外，unable, content (满足的), all（身体）好的，ill（生病的），通常不可用作定语；ill 作定语时， 通常是"坏的，邪恶的"意思。尽管现在已有人用ill作前置定语表示生病的，well表示健康的，习惯上还是用sick, healthy等作前置定语为好。

以上所列词汇中，afraid , alive, alone, awake 可用作后置定语，如

a man afraid (害怕的人)，

the greatest man alive (健在的最伟大的人)

the only child awake （唯一醒着的孩子）

The people , and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history.

人民，只有人民，才是创造世界历史的动力。

注意：

(1)多数以a-开头的形容词不直接用very修饰，通常习惯说法如：

very much alone 非常孤单的/wide awake 十分清醒的/sound / fast asleep 熟睡的

(2)以a-开头的形容词本身带有副词来修饰时，可以用作前置定语，如

a fast asleep boy 熟睡的男孩；the wide awake soldiers 十分清醒的士兵

2. 有些形容词（如wooden）通常不能用作表语。我们不说The table is wooden 而应改为

The table is of wood. 或The table is made of wood.

不能用作表语，只能作定语的常用形容词还有：inner 内部的，outer 外部的， former 较前的, latter 较

后的，utter完全的，upper上面的，real真正的，mere仅仅的，live[laiv]活的，sheer纯粹的，only唯一的，aged年老的

3. 有些形容词（如possible）作表语时，通常不用"人"作主语。

我们不说He is possible to attend the meeting.

而应该说It is possible for him to attend the meeting.

这类形容词常见的有： possible, improbable, convenient, inconvenient等

注意：这类句型中当动词不定式与句子主语存在着逻辑动宾关系时，主语用"人"是可以的，如

He is impossible to teach. = It is impossible to teach him.

下句也是正确的：

She is necessary to get along well with.

4. worth, worthwhile 和worthy

1) be worth 表示"价值"时，后面可以直接接名词或-ing形式；

2) 在It is worth while 结构中，it 为形式主语，后面可接-ing形式，也可接动词不定式

3) worthy 可修饰名词作定语，如a worthy man 可尊敬的人， a worthy life 有价值的 / 有意义的生活，

与 of 连用时可作后置定语，如a cause worthy of support 值得支持的事业。

worthy of 作表语时，后面可接名词或-ing形式（常用其被动式）

4) worthy后面也可接动词不定式，被动含义时也须用不定式的被动式。

5. 有些副词与形容词形式相同，表示同一含义，常见的有：early , late , fast , high , straight

6. 副词的位置

1) 修饰形容词和其它副词时，通常放在被修饰词之前，但enough一词例外。如

This is a very useful tool

He doesn't work hard enough.

2) 频度副词 (often , usually , seldom , hardly , never, sometimes, always等)要放在实义动词的前面，

be 动词、助动词、情态动词的后面。如

We often go to the park..

He is always ready to help others.

3) 地点副词、时间副词、方式副词常位于句末。如

I remember that I met him somewhere.

Everything went smoothly.

4) 同时出现几种副词时的排列顺序：方式副词→地点副词→时间副词。如

He made his model plane perfectly there yesterday.

5) 作定语的副词放在被修饰词之后。

People here are very friendly to me.

7. 某些以-ly结尾的词是形容词而不是副词。

如friendly , comradely , lively , lovely, lonely, likely, deadly , silly , orderly

8. 有些副词有两种形式（加-ly后变为另一副词），但意义不同，使用时应予注意。

如： late 迟， 晚 lately 近来, high 高 highly 高度地

（四）形容词和副词的比较等级用法

1. 两者相比（A=B），用"as + 原级 + as"表示

2. 两者相比（A），用"not as (或so)+ 原级+as"表示。

3. 两者相比（A>B）， 用"比较级+than"表示。

4. 三者或三者以上相比，表示最高程度时，用"the + 最高级"表示，这种句型中常有表示比较范围的

介词短语。

Zhang Hua is the tallest of the three.

He works (the )hardest in his class.

说明：(1)用比较级句型表达最高级含义时，应注意避免和包括自身的对象比。常用句型为：

比较级 + than +

(2)比较级句型和同级比较句型中出现否定词no , never , nothing等，也可表达最高级含义。

I love nothing better than swimming . (= I love swimming best.)

I have never seen as old a car as this. (= This is the oldest car I've ever seen.)

(3)最高级可以被序数词以及much , by far , nearly , almost, by no means, not quite , not really , nothing like

等词语所修饰。

(4)表示"最高程度"的形容词，如excellent , extreme , perfect等，没有最高级，也不能用比较级。

5. 比较级的一些常用句型

1) 表示"几倍于…"时，用"倍数+as…as"或"倍数+比较级+than"两种结构。

2) 用"比较级 + and + 比较级"表示"越来越…"

3) 用"the + 比较级, the + 比较级"表示"越…，越…"。

4) 表示size , weight , length , width, height等的倍数，用"倍数+the (size , weight…)+of …"结构。

5) 比较级前的修饰语可用表示程度或数量的词或短语，主要有：even, still , much, far, any

(用于否定句或 疑问句), a lot , a great deal, by far, a little , a bit , three times, two metres 等。

6) 表示"两者中间…的一个"，比较级前要加the，即"the + 比较级 + of the two"结构。

7) no more than = only 或 as … as 只有， 仅仅

not more than = at most 至多，不超过

8) no less than 有…之多 not less than 不少于
