语法精析精练
考试提示：
1. 单项填空中主要考查形容词和副词的词义和比较级用法。
2. 完形填空中也以考查形容词和副词的词义为主。
3. 短文改错中主要考查形容词和副词的语法功能。
一、形容词、副词的位置
1. 形容词的位置
1） 单个形容词作定语时常在所修饰词的前面，但是形容词作定语修饰someone， somebody， something， anyone， anybody， anything， everyone， everybody， everything， no one， nobody， nothing时，要放在它们后面。
2） 以-able或-ble结尾的形容词放在前面有最高级或only 等修饰的名词之后，如：the only solution possible.
3） 以a-开头的表语形容词alive， alike， asleep， awake， alone等作定语时要放在名词之后。
4） 形容词词组或短语作定语放在所修饰词的后面。如：a basket full of fruit.
2. 多个形容词作定语时的排列顺序
常见排列顺序是：限定词（the，this，his等）+ 顺序形容词（first，last，next等）+ 数量形容词 + 描绘性形容词 + 大小/长短/高低/形状/新旧等形容词 + 颜色 + 国籍地区 + 材料 + 用途 + 名词。注意：判断选择正确词序时，可采用排除法。
3. 副词的位置
副词在句中的位置灵活，在句首、句末、句中都有，但注意：
1） 频度副词always， usually， often， sometimes， seldom， never， hardly等在句中通常放在行为动词前，系动词、情态动词或助动词之后。
2） 有些副词可修饰全句，放在句首。
二、形容词、副词的辨析
1. 同根副词的区别
英语中有的副词有两种形式：一种与其形容词同形，另一种是由形容词后加词缀-ly构成。这两种副词的大致区别是：第一种副词与相应的形容词意义常相近，第二种副词表示相应的其他意义。熟记以下几组副词的区别：
close 接近地，近 closely 严密地，亲密地
deep 深 deeply 深深地
fair 公平地，正直地 fairly 相当地
free 自由地，免费地 freely 随便地，自由地
hard 努力地 hardly 几乎不
high 高 highly 高度地
late 晚，迟 lately 近来
most 最，非常 mostly 大多数，主要地
near 近 nearly 几乎
wide 宽，广 widely 广泛地
注意：以-ly结尾的形容词：costly， deadly， friendly， likely， lively， lonely， lovely， manly， silly， unlikely等。
2. 注意几组词的辨析
1） very与（very） much
2） ago与before
3） already，yet，still
4） once与ever
5） so与such
6） too，also，either
7） rather，fairly，very，quite，pretty
8） almost与nearly
9） most，mostly，almost，mainly
10） but，yet，however，though
11） likely，possible，probable
12） sure与certain
13） late，lately，latest，later，last 14） common，ordinary，usual，average，normal
三、形容词、副词的特殊用法
1. 倍数表达结构：
1） ……+ 倍数 + as...as...
2） ……+ 倍数 + 比较级 + than...
3） ……+ 倍数 + the + 名词 + of...
2. 比较级 + and + 比较级：“越来越……”
3. the + 比较级，the + 比较级：“越……越……”
4. the + 比较级 + of...：“……（两者中）较……的一个”
5. no + 比较级 + than...：“和……一样不……”
6. 比较级用于否定句中或与否定词never等连用，可表示相当于最高程度的意义。
7. the + 最高级 + 比较范围，表示“最……”，但若没有比较范围，最高级前用不定冠词或不用冠词时，不表最高程度意义，而表示“很、非常”。
8. cannot/can never... too/enough...：
“越……越好”/“无论……也不为过”。

Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns， not far apart. Both towns have many hotels， and in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists.
Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day， this news appeared on Page Two of the town’s newspaper. The Beldon Post：
FIRE AT SEABREEZE
Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors， “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years.
The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on Page One：
ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE
Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing， bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said， “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on， I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.
What are the facts， then？ It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August： that is one fact. Do we know anything else？ Yes， we know that firemen went to the hotel.
Now what do you think of the rest of the “news”？

B. A fire broke out one night at the Seabreeze Hotel last summer.

D. Two newspapers gave reports on the same matter.
37. Which of the following are probably facts？ a. The fire broke out in a bedroom at the hotel.
b. A cigarette started the fire.
c. An old lamp started the fire.
d. The fire broke out at night.
e. There has never been a fire in Canfield.
A. b and c. B. a and d.
C. c and e. D. a and c.
38. The Canfield Times used the headline like this in order to make its readers think that ___ .
A. hotels in Beldon often catch fire
B. hotels in Beldon don’t often catch fire
C. this was the second fire at the Seabreeze Hotel
D. Beldon is a good place except that hotels there are not quite safe
39. The Canfield newspaper gave a report just the opposite to The Beldon Post by saying that ___ .
A. the bedroom lamps were very old at the Seabreeze Hotel
B. the bedroom lights made a funny noise when the fire broke out
C. the firemen failed to save clothing， bedclothes and some furniture
D. such accidents never happened in Canfield for the past 5 years
B
There was a wonderful story about Jimmy Durante， one of the greatest entertainers of a few generations ago. He was asked to be a part of a show for some World WarⅡveterans. He told them his schedule was very tight and he could only afford a few minutes. However， if they wouldn’t mind him doing a short monologue（独白，单口相声）and leaving immediately for his next appointment， he would come. Of course， the show’s director agreed happily.
But when Jimmy got on stage， something interesting happened. He went through the monologue and then stayed. The applause grew louder and louder and he continued to stay. Pretty soon he had been on fifteen， twenty， then thirty minutes. Finally he took a last bow and left the stage. Backstage some-one stopped him and said， “I thought you had to go after a few minutes.

Nothing fits like an old shoe—especially if that shoe walked on the earth 5500 years ago. Researchers in Armenia found the world’s oldest leather shoe， and they said it was in surprisingly good condition. Diana Zardaryan of the Institute of Archeology found it in a cave near the border with Iran and Turkey. She said even the shoe laces were kept.
Two laboratories in the United States and Britain did radiocarbon tests. The date showed it was four hundred years older than the Stonehenge formation in England， and a thousand years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.
The cool air and dry conditions in the cave protected the shoe and the other objects. So did a thick， solid layer of sheep dung（羊粪）covering the floor. This acted as a cover to prevent damage.
The shoe was made from a single piece of cow leather. The researchers believed the shoe was shaped to fit the wearer’s right foot. The shoe was small—a European size thirty-seven， or a woman’s size seven in the United States.
The head of the research said he did not know if the shoe was made for a man or a woman. Ron Pinhasi of University College in Cork， Ireland， said it could have fitted a man at that time.
His team also found grass packed inside the shoe. They said the grass might have been used to keep the wearer’s foot warm. Or it could have been used to hold the shape of the shoe while it was not being worn.
The team of scientists also found large containers of wheat， barley and apricots in the cave， along with a broken pot and sheep’s horns. They also found the graves of children buried near the back of the cave. They did not know why all these things were found together in one place. They did not know what the purpose of the cave was.
43. Where was the shoe found？
A. In America. B. In Iraq.
C. In Armenia. D. In Turkey.
44. How many reasons are mentioned in the passage why the shoe was well kept？
A. One. B. Two.
C. Three. D. Four.
45. What would be the best title for the passage？ A. How Researchers Discovered the World’s Oldest Leather Shoe？
B. Who Is the Owner of the World’s Oldest Leather Shoe？
C. The Mystery of the World’s Oldest Leather Shoe
D. A Strange Cave
第三部分 写作（共四节， 满分55分）
第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
When Dan Shaw gets up from the sofa in his home， Cuddles is never far away. When he wants to go outside， he doesn’t take Cuddles out for a walk—Cuddles takes him for a walk. Cuddles is clearly no ordinary family pet. It is a two-foot-high miniature horse and serves as the guiding eyes of Shaw， who is blind.
When Shaw lost his sight， his wife suggested he apply for a guide dog. Shaw， an animal lover， said he couldn’t bear to part with a dog（which usually lives about eight to ten years）and get used to a new one， perhaps several times in his life.
Then Shaw heard of a program about the tiny guide horses. He learned that the horses possess many qualities that make them an excellent choice for guiding people. They are clean， friendly， smart and have great memories. They can be trained to remain calm in noisy and crowded places. Best of all， they live for 25-35 years， which would enable Shaw to have the same guide companion for most or all of his life.
Shaw immediately applied to be and was accepted as the first person to receive a guide horse. The instant he met Cuddles， he knew he was making the right choice. Then he began his training.
Through training， Shaw and Cuddles learned to find their way on busy streets， step over curbs（便道沿儿）and find elevator buttons. Cuddles even demonstrated（显示）its ability to step in front of Shaw and block him， to prevent him from walking into a dangerous situation. The little horse also expertly led Shaw through busy shopping malls. They got along without any difficulties. Now Shaw is confident that Cuddles will change his life for the better.

语法精析精练
考试提示：
1. 单项填空中主要考查形容词和副词的词义和比较级用法。
2. 完形填空中也以考查形容词和副词的词义为主。
3. 短文改错中主要考查形容词和副词的语法功能。
一、形容词、副词的位置
1. 形容词的位置
1） 单个形容词作定语时常在所修饰词的前面，但是形容词作定语修饰someone， somebody， something， anyone， anybody， anything， everyone， everybody， everything， no one， nobody， nothing时，要放在它们后面。
2） 以-able或-ble结尾的形容词放在前面有最高级或only 等修饰的名词之后，如：the only solution possible.
3） 以a-开头的表语形容词alive， alike， asleep， awake， alone等作定语时要放在名词之后。
4） 形容词词组或短语作定语放在所修饰词的后面。如：a basket full of fruit.
2. 多个形容词作定语时的排列顺序
常见排列顺序是：限定词（the，this，his等）+ 顺序形容词（first，last，next等）+ 数量形容词 + 描绘性形容词 + 大小/长短/高低/形状/新旧等形容词 + 颜色 + 国籍地区 + 材料 + 用途 + 名词。注意：判断选择正确词序时，可采用排除法。
3. 副词的位置
副词在句中的位置灵活，在句首、句末、句中都有，但注意：
1） 频度副词always， usually， often， sometimes， seldom， never， hardly等在句中通常放在行为动词前，系动词、情态动词或助动词之后。
2） 有些副词可修饰全句，放在句首。
二、形容词、副词的辨析
1. 同根副词的区别
英语中有的副词有两种形式：一种与其形容词同形，另一种是由形容词后加词缀-ly构成。这两种副词的大致区别是：第一种副词与相应的形容词意义常相近，第二种副词表示相应的其他意义。熟记以下几组副词的区别：
close 接近地，近 closely 严密地，亲密地
deep 深 deeply 深深地
fair 公平地，正直地 fairly 相当地
free 自由地，免费地 freely 随便地，自由地
hard 努力地 hardly 几乎不
high 高 highly 高度地
late 晚，迟 lately 近来
most 最，非常 mostly 大多数，主要地
near 近 nearly 几乎
wide 宽，广 widely 广泛地
注意：以-ly结尾的形容词：costly， deadly， friendly， likely， lively， lonely， lovely， manly， silly， unlikely等。
2. 注意几组词的辨析
1） very与（very） much
2） ago与before
3） already，yet，still
4） once与ever
5） so与such
6） too，also，either
7） rather，fairly，very，quite，pretty
8） almost与nearly
9） most，mostly，almost，mainly
10） but，yet，however，though
11） likely，possible，probable
12） sure与certain
13） late，lately，latest，later，last 14） common，ordinary，usual，average，normal
三、形容词、副词的特殊用法
1. 倍数表达结构：
1） ……+ 倍数 + as...as...
2） ……+ 倍数 + 比较级 + than...
3） ……+ 倍数 + the + 名词 + of...
2. 比较级 + and + 比较级：“越来越……”
3. the + 比较级，the + 比较级：“越……越……”
4. the + 比较级 + of...：“……（两者中）较……的一个”
5. no + 比较级 + than...：“和……一样不……”
6. 比较级用于否定句中或与否定词never等连用，可表示相当于最高程度的意义。
7. the + 最高级 + 比较范围，表示“最……”，但若没有比较范围，最高级前用不定冠词或不用冠词时，不表最高程度意义，而表示“很、非常”。
8. cannot/can never... too/enough...：
“越……越好”/“无论……也不为过”。

Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns， not far apart. Both towns have many hotels， and in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists.
Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day， this news appeared on Page Two of the town’s newspaper. The Beldon Post：
FIRE AT SEABREEZE
Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors， “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years.
The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on Page One：
ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE
Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing， bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said， “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on， I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.

There was a wonderful story about Jimmy Durante， one of the greatest entertainers of a few generations ago. He was asked to be a part of a show for some World WarⅡveterans. He told them his schedule was very tight and he could only afford a few minutes. However， if they wouldn’t mind him doing a short monologue（独白，单口相声）and leaving immediately for his next appointment， he would come. Of course， the show’s director agreed happily.
But when Jimmy got on stage， something interesting happened. He went through the monologue and then stayed. The applause grew louder and louder and he continued to stay. Pretty soon he had been on fifteen， twenty， then thirty minutes. Finally he took a last bow and left the stage. Backstage some-one stopped him and said， “I thought you had to go after a few minutes. What happened？” Jimmy answered， “I did have to go， but I can show you the reason why I stayed. You can see for yourself if you look at the front row.”
In the front row were two men， each of whom had lost an arm in the war. One had lost his right arm and the other had lost his left arm. Together they were able to clap， and that’s exactly what they were doing， loudly and cheerfully.
40. The underlined word “veterans” in Paragraph 1 means “___”.
A. actors B. old soldiers
C. disabled men D. workers
41. Why did Jimmy stay longer than he planned on the stage？
A. Because he forgot his monologue words. B. Because he wanted to get more applause.
C. Because he was moved by a couple of veterans.
D. Because the show’s director asked him to do so.
42. What would Jimmy do after his show for veterans？
A. He would head for his next appointment.
B. He would give veterans another show.
C. He would meet the two men in the front row.
D. He would go back home and have a rest.
C
Nothing fits like an old shoe—especially if that shoe walked on the earth 5500 years ago. Researchers in Armenia found the world’s oldest leather shoe， and they said it was in surprisingly good condition. Diana Zardaryan of the Institute of Archeology found it in a cave near the border with Iran and Turkey. She said even the shoe laces were kept.
Two laboratories in the United States and Britain did radiocarbon tests. The date showed it was four hundred years older than the Stonehenge formation in England， and a thousand years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.
The cool air and dry conditions in the cave protected the shoe and the other objects. So did a thick， solid layer of sheep dung（羊粪）covering the floor. This acted as a cover to prevent damage.
The shoe was made from a single piece of cow leather. The researchers believed the shoe was shaped to fit the wearer’s right foot. The shoe was small—a European size thirty-seven， or a woman’s size seven in the United States.
The head of the research said he did not know if the shoe was made for a man or a woman. Ron Pinhasi of University College in Cork， Ireland， said it could have fitted a man at that time.
His team also found grass packed inside the shoe. They said the grass might have been used to keep the wearer’s foot warm. Or it could have been used to hold the shape of the shoe while it was not being worn.
The team of scientists also found large containers of wheat， barley and apricots in the cave， along with a broken pot and sheep’s horns. They also found the graves of children buried near the back of the cave. They did not know why all these things were found together in one place. They did not know what the purpose of the cave was.
43. Where was the shoe found？
A. In America. B. In Iraq.
C. In Armenia. D. In Turkey.
44. How many reasons are mentioned in the passage why the shoe was well kept？
A. One. B. Two.
C. Three. D. Four.
45. What would be the best title for the passage？ A. How Researchers Discovered the World’s Oldest Leather Shoe？
B. Who Is the Owner of the World’s Oldest Leather Shoe？
C. The Mystery of the World’s Oldest Leather Shoe
D. A Strange Cave

When Dan Shaw gets up from the sofa in his home， Cuddles is never far away. When he wants to go outside， he doesn’t take Cuddles out for a walk—Cuddles takes him for a walk. Cuddles is clearly no ordinary family pet. It is a two-foot-high miniature horse and serves as the guiding eyes of Shaw， who is blind.
When Shaw lost his sight， his wife suggested he apply for a guide dog. Shaw， an animal lover， said he couldn’t bear to part with a dog（which usually lives about eight to ten years）and get used to a new one， perhaps several times in his life.
Then Shaw heard of a program about the tiny guide horses. He learned that the horses possess many qualities that make them an excellent choice for guiding people. They are clean， friendly， smart and have great memories. They can be trained to remain calm in noisy and crowded places. Best of all， they live for 25-35 years， which would enable Shaw to have the same guide companion for most or all of his life.
Shaw immediately applied to be and was accepted as the first person to receive a guide horse. The instant he met Cuddles， he knew he was making the right choice. Then he began his training.
Through training， Shaw and Cuddles learned to find their way on busy streets， step over curbs（便道沿儿）and find elevator buttons. Cuddles even demonstrated（显示）its ability to step in front of Shaw and block him， to prevent him from walking into a dangerous situation. The little horse also expertly led Shaw through busy shopping malls. They got along without any difficulties. Now Shaw is confident that Cuddles will change his life for the better.
