2018年3月公共英语一级口语考前冲刺题(3)
3、形容词和副词
熟练掌握形容词和副词范围内的常用结构会让你在解答这类题时得心应手,如它们的前后缀、同义、近义、比较级等。还需注意他们在句中的功用:形容词在句中做表语和定语而副词在句中主要是做状语修饰整个句子或动词。
【例1】No one imagined that the apparently businessman was really a criminal.
A) respectful B) respectable C)respective D) respecting
【分析】解该题时,要注意形容词近义及后缀的区别。后缀----able附在动词后构成形容词,表示“可……的、能……的”,如:bearable,eatable等;----ful构成形容词表示“充满……的,有……性质,有……倾向”,如:peaceful,doubtful等;---ive构成形容词表示“与……有关的,具有……性质的”,如:creative,explosive。本题中的respectful“尊重他人(showing respect)”有主动意思;respectable 表示“受人尊敬(deserving respect)”有被动意思;respective则表示“各自的”;respecting 常用作介词,表示“关于”,这样该题正确答案为B项。
【例2】The cost is much for me.
A) so much B) too much C)far too D)very much
【分析】为了强调副词程度的增加,常可在“too + adj(adv)”的前面加上 much 或far,意思是“实在太……”;为了强调程度的减少,可在其前面加上 a little,意为“稍微……”,如:The coat is a little too large for me,又如 You have given much too little care to your work。因此上句的答案应选C项。
【例3】My father’s only two expensive little socks were kept by my elder brother.
A) Chinese green antique silk B) Chinese antique green silk
C) antique Chinese green silk D) green antique Chinese silk
【分析】多个形容词重叠在一起修饰名词时,词序是:限定词+描绘性形容词+little/old/new+色彩形容词+色属形容词+名词性形容词和其它修饰语+被修饰名词。因此D项正确。
