2017届高三英语一轮复习课时作业44：语法专练四之形容词与副词

　　高考真题

　　1．(2011·全国Ⅱ)It is one thing to enjoy listening to good music, but it is ________ another to play it well yourself.

　　A. quite

　　B. very

　　C. rather

　　D. much

　　[解析]句意：喜欢听好的音乐是一回事，但要自己演奏好它又是另外一回事。quite 完全，强调在某方面十分突出，作此用法时，quite 常与名词连用。another 其实就是 another thing 的省略。very 非常，修饰形容词或副词；rather 修饰形容词、副词或带不定冠词的名词；much 修饰不可数名词，在此不符合题意。

　　[答案]A
