B.
C.
D.
entirely
totally
wholesale
together
该题是副词辨析题。entirely和totally都是“completely(完全地)”的意思;together意为“一起;共同”;作副词用的wholesale意为“以批发方式”,可以与动词sell搭配,符合语境,因此C为正确答案。
本地区的瓶子批发价格为50美元一箱。
Which of the following italicized parts modifies an adverb
A.
B.
C.
D.
Do it right now.
That was a very funny film.
I rather like my teacher.
We walked about 6 miles.
该题考查副词在词组中作修饰语。A句意为“现在马上就做吧”,句中right是副词,修饰时间副词now,因此A为正确答案。B句意为“那是一部非常有趣的电影”,句中副词very修饰形容词funny;C句意为“我倒很喜欢我的老师”,副词rather修饰动词like;D句意为“我们走了大约6英里的路程”,副词about修饰限定词“6”。
下列哪个斜体部分修饰副词?
He feels that he is not yet _______ to travel abroad.
A.
B.
C.
D.
too strong
enough strong
so strong
strong enough
该题考查enough作为副词的用法。enough在用作副词时,通常放在它所修饰的形容词、副词之后,因此D为正确答案。A项too … to结构本身含有否定意思,不能用于否定句;C项so strong后不能接不定式,应该接that-分句。
他感到他的身体还不够强壮,不适于到国外旅游。
The team has been working overtime on the research project ________.
A.
B.
C.
D.
lately
just now
late
long ago
该题考查时间副词及现在完成体的用法。时间副词lately意为“最近;近来”,可用于现在完成体,因此A为正确答案。just now,long ago均为表过去时间的副词词组,不能用于现在完成体。late作为副词意为“迟;晚”,与句意不符。
这个团队最近一直在为这个研究项目加班加点。
Which of the following adverbs can NOT be used to complete “_____ everybody came”
A.
B.
C.
D.
Nearly
Quite
Practically
Almost
该题考查程度副词的辨析。nearly,quite和almost都是表示程度的副词。nearly和almost都可用来修饰不定代词、形容词、副词、动词和介词词组等,此时两者常可互换,而quite除了能修饰形容词、副词、动词、分词外,还能修饰名词、介词词组等,但不能修饰不定代词。practically常用于口语表达中,相当于almost,nearly,可以修饰everybody。因此B为正确答案。
下列哪个副词不能填入句中空格“________ everybody came”?
My daughter has walked eight miles today. We never guessed that she could walk ______ far.
A.
B.
C.
D.
/
such
that
as
该题考查that作为副词修饰形容词的用法。that可用作副词,用于修饰形容词或副词,意为“那么;这么”。该题中that用于修饰形容词far,因此C为正确答案。参见《教程》(P270 b)修饰形容词部分例句。
我女儿今天走了八英里,我们从没有想到她能走那么远。
I arrived at the airport so late that I _________ missed the plane.
A.
B.
C.
D.
only
quite
narrowly
seldom
该题考查副词narrowly的用法。narrowly修饰miss,lose等动词时意为“差一点就…”,其他副词only,quite和seldom均无此意,因此C为正确答案。
我到达机场太晚了以至于差点就错过了飞机。
本讲简单介绍了副词的分类,主要介绍了副词(词组)的主要句法功能,一些兼有两种形式的副词的用法,以及若干易混淆副词的语义辨析。副词包罗万象,类别繁多,是传统词类中最模糊不清、令人困惑的词类。学习中可首先熟悉副词的分类,特别是按其词汇意义的分类。作为词组的组成成分,副词在词组中作修饰语,修饰动词、形容词、副词、介词,除了enough,indeed外,都作前置修饰语,有些地点副词和时间副词能作后置修饰语修饰名词。作为句子成分,副词词组在句中作三种状语:修饰性状语、评注性状语、连接性状语。由于后两种状语是第3讲的主要内容之一,因此本讲可重点关注修饰性状语。修饰性状语的学习要注意各种修饰性状语的位置,先掌握通常的位置,再理解其他位置
可能出于修辞上的需要。兼有两种形式的副词的用法是一个学习难点,学习中可以意义为中心区分为三类:“意义完全不同”、“部分同义,部分异义”、“意义相同,用法不尽相同”,着眼于意义上的差异,抓住主要不同点,如本义和引申义、位置差异、语体不同、常见搭配等来降低学习难度。若干副词之语义辨析部分清晰地介绍了一些易混淆副词在意义和用法上的差异,多数可以从词汇意义上作出区分,有的要考虑位置、语体、频度高低、语势强弱、褒贬色彩、时体结构等。

John: But he came (5. last / lastly) at Doncaster.
Tom: Yes. That was (6. large / largely) my fault. It was (7. pretty / prettily) hot that day, so I took it (8. easy / easily) on the way to Doncaster. I had (9. clean / cleanly) forgotten that I had promised to pick George up. When I did remember, I (10. quick / quickly) turned round, but I reached George’s house very (11. late / lately). I tried (12. hard / hardly) to drive (13. quick / quickly), but Georg (14. right / rightly) didn’t want me to take risks, and part of the way we were (15. close / closely) followed by a police car, anyway.

When we got to Doncaster, I drove (20. direct / directly) to the race-track and left George there while I went to park somewhere (21. near / nearly).

He had (24. hard / hardly) enough time to get his legs working (25. loose / loosely) again when he had to go to the start, so he was (26. clear / clearly) not in a fit state to win. (27.
