形容词和副词
考纲要求：形容词（比较级和最高级）；副词（比较级和最高级）
命题规律：近几年高考对形容词和副词主要考查①形容词、副词的基本功能及在句子中的位置；②在特定的语境下选择恰当的词语；③形容词和副词的误用以及某些词的区别；④比较级的考查尤其是依据上下文隐含的比较。考查形式：单选，完型，改错。
知识点拨：
形容词
形容词的句法功能：形容词在句子中可作定语、表语、宾补、状语等。如：
My mother is a great woman.
The design of the high building is very beautiful.
The rain made the ground wet.
Curious, we went close to have a look at it.
All the pupils looked at the angry teacher, full of fear.
形容词作定语的位置：一般情况下，形容词作定语放在被修饰的词前，但在下列情况下，形容词要放在被修饰的词后面。① 形容词作定语修饰some, any, every, no和body, thing, one等构成的复合不定代词时，需后置。如：
There is nobody absent today.
I have something important to tell you.
以-able,-ible结尾的形容词可置于前有最高级形容词或very等词修饰的名词后面。如：
That is the best book available. That is the only solution possible.
成对的形容词可以后置。如：
There was a huge room, simple and beautiful.
当“形容词+介词/ 不定式”构成的短语作定语时，需要后置。如：
The teacher asked me a question too hard to answer.
当old, long, high, wide, deep等词附有数量词短语作定语时，需后置。如：
I saw a rope two meters long. = I saw a two-meter-long rope.
注意：多个形容词作定语时的顺序，常用顺序为：限定词（these, those, this,
that ,the,…）+ 数量形容词（three）+ 描绘性形容词（beautiful, nice, good,…）+ 大小、长短、高低等形体性形容词（large, long, high,…）+新旧（new, old ）+颜色（red）+国籍（Chinese）+材料（wooden）+ 用途（writing）+被修饰的名词（desk）。
考例1 This ____________ girl is Linda’s cousin. (2005 Beijing)
A. pretty little Spanish
B. Spanish little pretty
C. Spanish pretty little
D. little pretty Spanish
表语形容词：有些形容词只作表语，而通常不作前置定语。常见的表语形容词有：afraid , alone,
awake, asleep, alive, alike, ashamed, well, sorry, unable, sure, worth等。如：
The boy is still asleep.
The old man was alone in the house.
注意：① 上述形容词可作宾补。如：We found the snake still alive.
这类形容词若作定语，可作后置定语。如：He is the greatest poet alive.
这些形容词不可以直接much用修饰。如：very much alone非常孤单, fast asleep熟睡的, wide
awake十分清醒的, very much afraid很害怕的, greatly ashamed非常害羞的, well worth 很值得的
如果这类形容词本身带有副词来修饰时, 可以作前置定语。如：a fast asleep boy, the wide awake soldiers, a very shamed girl
形容词作状语：表示伴随或结果，并不表示动作的方式。如：He returned home, safe and sound.
考例2 After the long journey, the three of them went back home, __________. (2008 Beijing)
A. hungry and tiredly
B. hungry and tired
C. hungrily and tiredly
D. hungrily and tired
副词
副词主要作状语，可以修饰动词、形容词、副词、介词短语、从句、名词、代词、数词等，也可以修饰整个句子。如：They are warmly welcomed by the students.
You are quite right.
Neither Tom nor Susan can swim very well.
The arrow hit the apple right in the middle.
This is exactly what he said.
Actually, he is right.
副词也可以作表语、定语、补足语和介词的宾语。如：
All the lights are on.
Are you content with the life here?
We were shown around by the professor.
Please let him in.
It’s a long way from here to your school.
副词的位置：①修饰形容词和其他副词，一般位于被修饰词之前。如：
This is a very useful tool.
但注意 enough必须放在所修饰的形容词或副词之后。如：You are brave enough to put forward this question at the meeting. 另外，cannot与enough连用表示“越……越好，再……也不为过”。如：
You cannot remember enough English words.
考例3 Although she did not know Boston well, she made her way ________ to the Home Circle Building. (2006 Hunan) A. easy enough
B. enough easy
C. easily enough
D. enough easily
表示时间频度的副词always, often, usually, never等多放在行为动词前，系动词、情态动词或助动词之后。如：She often comes to see me.
She will always be remembered by us.
时间副词和地点副词同时出现，地点副词位于时间副词之前。如：
We came here yesterday.
