◎考    点：

形容词和副词

◎考题特点：

考查形容词与副词的用法区别，考查比较等级的用法以及重要比较句型的用法，考查某些典型的形容词和副词的用法。

◎答题“六注意”：

一要注意语境：合乎语境的往往是正确的。

二要注意搭配：尤其要注意形容词与介词的搭配以及某些习惯搭配等。

三要注意比较等级的用法：不作比较用原形，两者比较用比较级，三者或多者比较用最高级，注意有的比较对象可能在试题并不直接出现，而是隐含在一定的上下文里。另外，有关比较等级的固定结构或句型也值得特别注意。四要注意修饰：修饰名词用形容词，修饰其他形容词、副词、动词、短语等，要用副词；用于连系动词后作表语通常要用形容词而不用副词；修饰比较级可用far, even, still, a lot, lots, a great deal, a bit, rather, three times, any, no, very much等，修饰最高级可用 (by) far, much, nearly, almost, not quite, by no means, very, second, next 等。

五要注意典型考点词的复现：尤其要注意近年经常考查的热点词though, far, enough, yet, too(太) 等。

六要注意词序：描绘形容词→大小(长短高低)形容词→形状形容词→年龄(新旧)形容词→颜色形容词→国籍形容词→材料形容词→用途(类别)形容词→名词(动名词)。
