1、形容词与副词陷阱题分析1. We dont care if a hunting dog smells _, but we really dont want him to smell _.A. well, well B. bad, bad C. well, badly D. badly, bad【陷阱】容易误选B，认为两个smell 均为连系动词，后接形容词作表语。【分析】正确答案为D。句中的第一个 smell 为实义动词，意为“闻气味”、“嗅觉”，smell badly 意为“嗅觉差”；第二个smell 为连系动词，意为“闻起来(有某种气味)”，smell bad 意为“闻起来气味难闻”。全句
2、意为“我们并不介意一条猎狗的嗅觉不好，但我们的确不希望它的气味难闻”。2. “Our team is _ to win the match.” “Really? But I dont think so.”A. Easy B. difficult C. Possible D. sure【陷阱】几个干扰项均有可能误选，因为假若单纯从中文意思来看，四个答案均说得通。【分析】正确答案为D，A、B、C三项填入空格处虽然从汉语来看说得通，但不合英语习惯。因为按英语习惯，easy 和difficult 后接不定式时，其主语(或逻辑主语)通常应是 it，而不能是具体的人或物，除非这个主语与其后不定式有动宾关系
3、。3. Mary is very clever and _ worth teaching, but her brother is not. Look, he is now _ asleep in class.A. very, very B. much, very C. well, veryD. well, fast【陷阱】容易误选A，因为许多学生往往将汉语中的“很”与英语中的 very 等同。【分析】但是，许多汉语中的“很”是不能用英语中的 very 来直译的。如汉语“我很喜欢英语”，在英语中就不能说成 I very like English，而应说成 I like English very
4、much，因为副词 very 在英语中习惯上不用来修饰动词。上面一题不能选A，是因为形容词 worth 和 asleep 习惯上不能用副词 very 来修饰，而是分别用 well 和 fast修饰，即说成 be well worth doing sth(很值得做某事)，be fast (或 sound) asleep(熟睡)，所以此题的最佳答案应选D。4. “Could I take your order now?” “Yes. One _ tea and two _ coffees.”A. black, white B. red, white C. black, green D. red,
5、black【陷阱】容易误选B或D。【分析】按汉语习惯，在“茶”前要加表颜色的形容词通常应是“红”和“绿”，即说“红茶”和“绿茶”。但是在英语中，人们虽然可直接用 green tea来表示“绿茶”，但却不能直接用 red tea 来表示“红茶”，汉语中的“红茶”说成英语应是 black tea，所以第一空应填black，即选A或C。对于第二空，coffee 前通常使用的表颜色的形容词是 white 和 black，其中 white coffee 指“牛奶咖啡”(因牛奶呈白色)，black coffee 指“没有加牛奶的咖啡”（即纯咖啡或清咖啡），由此可知上题的最佳答案应是A。5. A _ roa
6、d goes _ from one place to another.A. straight, straight B. straightly, straightly C. straight, straightly D. straightly, straight【陷阱】容易误选C。认为straightly 是straight 的副词形式。【分析】在现代英语中，straight 既可用作形容词，也可用作副词。而straightly这个副词在现代英语中已被废弃，许多词典均不再收录此词。所以此题最佳答案应选A。6. How beautifully she sings! I have never hea
7、rd _ voice.A. a better B. a best C. the better D. the best 【分析】最佳答案为A，全句句意为“她唱得多好啊！我从未听过她这么好的声音”。7. You are _ careful than your brother. You two cant do the work that needs care and skill. A. not more B. no more C. not less D. no less【分析】此题最佳答案为B。要做对此题，首先要正确理解以下结构的含义：not more than = 不如no more than =
8、 和一样不 (否定两者)not less than = 不如不 (即指不如 less 后形容词的反面)no less than = 和一样 (肯定两者)比较以下各句的意思：You are more careful than he is. 你比他仔细。You are not more careful than he is. 你不如他仔细。You are no more careful than he is. 你和他一样不仔细。You are less careful than he is. 你不如他仔细（你比他粗心）。You are not less careful than he is. 你比
9、他仔细（你不如他粗心）。You are no less careful than he is. 你和他一样仔细。8. “Oh, how fat he is!” “But I think he is _ than fat.”A. Short B. shorter C. more short D. shortest【分析】其实正确答案应是C。要弄清此问题，得先从比较句型的两种不同类型说起：(1) 异类同质比较：即指两个不同的人或事物(异类)在同一方面(同质)进行比较。如：My room is smaller than yours. 我的房间比你的小。Our country is more powe
10、rful than theirs. 我们的国家比他们的国家更强大。(2) 同类异质比较：即指同一个人或事物(同类)在两个不同的方面(异质)进行比较，这类句子常译为“(更多的)是，而不是”、“与其不如”等。如：He was more lucky than clever.他是靠运气而不是靠聪明。She was mare surprised than angry. 她感到更多的是惊讶而不是生气。This is more a war movie than a western. 这更应当说是一部战争片，而不是西部片。按英语习惯，在进行同类异质比较时，只能用more构成比较级，不能用-er形式，即使是单音

23、 D. a much happier time28. This dress is prettier, but it costs _ that one.A. twice more than B. twice as much asC. as much twice as D. twice so much as【答案与解析】1. 选A，too to 结构除用于“too + 形容词或副词 + to do sth”外，也可用于“too + 形容词 + a / an + 单数可数名词 + to do sth”。2. 选B，it cant be worse 相当于 Its the worst thing I
24、ever knew。3. 选B，average 意为“平常的”、“普通的”。4. 选B，similar 指“相似”，familiar 指“熟悉”。5. 选A，此处的 fool 虽为名词，但具有形容词的性质，相当于 foolish。6. 选B。虽然 quite, rather, much 均可用于加强语气，但是修饰比较级或副词 too(太)时，只能用 rather 或 much，而不用 quite。7. 选D。第一个 look是实义动词(注意与之搭配的介词 at)，第二个look 是连系动词。8. 选 C。多个形容词共同修饰一个名词时，它们的位置遵循这样的原则：描绘形容词大小（长短高低）形容词形
25、状形容词年龄（新旧）形容词颜色形容词国籍形容词材料形容词用途（类别）形容词名词（动名词）。9. 选A。做对此题要注意两点：一是修饰something, anything, nothing 等复合不定代词的形容词，应置于被修饰语之后；二是副词enough 修饰形容词或副词时也应置于被修饰语之后。10. 选C。wrong 修饰nothing，seriously 修饰wrong。11. 选C。still 修饰 active，置于其前；而副词enough 修饰形容词或副词时应置于被修饰语之后。12. 选B。that 在此作副词不是代词，用法相当于so。其余三者填入空格处语意不通。13. 选B。14.
26、选A。15.选C。第一空填 freely，意为“自由地”；第二空填free，意为“免费地”。16. 选 A。close 与 closely 的区别是：指实际距离近，用 close；指抽象意义，用 closely。17. 选 B。首先应弄清 second to none 的意思，照字面理解是“对谁都不是第二”，言外之意就是“第一”，或者说是“最好”。再联系句中的 but 可知，选项 B 最恰当。18. 选B，由于是两个房间，即是两者比较，故宜用比较级，因此排除C和D；又由于两句之间没有连词，故不宜选A。注：若在空格前加上and 一词，则要选A。19. 选B。此题关键是要理解 Not at all
27、 的意思。根据上文语境，Not at all 为 I am not satisfied at all with his answer 之省略，即表示“我对他的回答一点也不满意”，既然如此，他的回答当然会是 It couldnt have been worse（不可能更糟）。20. 选 C，句意为“我的算术比琼差，但我的历史比她强”。注意句中的转折连词 but 及其后的 better。21. 选A，we couldnt have picked a worst day 实际意思是 it is the worst day weve picked。 22. 选A，a better 为 a better
28、 one 之省略。另外，a better one（一个更好的）是与其前文“我知道这不是一个很适合的词”相呼应的。23. 选A。根据空格后的than，排除B和D；根据语境，排除C。24. 选D。more 后不能比较级，故排除A；quite 除用于quite better外，不用于修饰比较，故排除B；very 不用修饰比较级，故排除C。25. 选A。若选B或C均不合事实；若选D，不合语法，因为few 后要接可数名词的复数形式。26. 选B。从句意看，空格处应填比较级bigger，因此排除A和C。选项B与D的区别是，一个用了不定冠词，一个用了定冠词，两者的区别是，不定冠词表泛指，定冠词表特指。27.
29、 选D。由于是将有考试与没有考试作比较，所以应用比较级，不用最高级，由此排除A和C。选 B的错误在于用了more happier这样的双重比较级（more后不能再加比较级）。28. 选B。修饰asas的副词应置于该结构之前。练习题训练1.Lizzie was _to see her friend off at the airport Aa little more than sad Bmore than a little sad Csad more than a little Da little more sad than 2.If you cant come tomorrow，well _ha
