高频解密05 形容词和副词
考点详解


【命题趋势】
1. 对与形容词和副词有关的构词法的考查仍会成为语法填空的重点之一。
2. 形容词、副词的题目侧重考查考生在具体语境中灵活运用形容词、副词的能力。
3. 高考主要考查：形容词和副词的比较等级；形容词和副词之间的转换；名词转换为形 容词等。
【考法指导】
形容词和副词是语法填空的必考点，主要以“用括号中所给词的正确形式填空”的形式考查考生。
1. 形容词可作定语、表语、补语。因此，在做语法填空时，若句子缺定语、表语或补语，要首先想到用形
容词。
2. 副词在句中作状语，修饰动词、形容词、其他副词、介词短语或整个句子。因此当设空处作状语时，首
先考虑要填副词。
3. 做语篇型语法填空时，考生还需根据上下文及形容词和副词比较等级的常用句型来判断。
短文改错中，本该用形容词时却用了副词或其他词性，或本该用副词却用了形容词，要根据形容词和副词的基本用法判断。此外平时复习时还要注意一些常见的形容词、副词辨析。
考向1 形容词、副词的比较等级


一、平级比较
1. ＂as＋形容词＋(a/an)＋名词＋as＂表示同级比较，注意中间的形容词和名词并列时各自所在的位置。

2. ＂as＋形容词/副词的原级＋as＂与＂not as/so＋形容词/副词的原级＋as＂表示同级比较，即两个或两
部分人或物在性质上或程度上相同(不同)。
☞The work is not as/so difficult as you imagine.
这项工作不是像你想像的那么难。
【特别提醒】
as+形容词+as+数量词=数量词+形容词。如：

①Believe it or not，swimming is ________ as any to lose unwanted weight.

考向3 –ing形容词和-ed形容词


1. 以ing结尾的动词变化而来的形容词一般修饰物，译为“令人……的”，常作定语；主要用于说明事物，
表示事物的性质或特征，若用它们说明人，则表示此人具有此性质或特征。
2. 以-ed结尾的动词变化而来的形容词一般修饰人，译为“（人）……的”，常作表语；通常用于说明人，不
用于说明事物，即使它们所修饰的名词是事物，那它们指的也是与该事物相关的人。

A. frightened B.be frightened
C.to be frightened D. frightening

②They can also make their own special sounds to keep the story ________ (interest) and attractive.
【答案】interesting
【解析】语境表示“使故事听起来有趣和有吸引力”，故此处要用形容词interesting“有趣的”。
③What followed was a ________ (touch) scene.
【答案】touching
【解析】语境表示“随后发生的是感人的一幕”，这里要用-ing形容词touching“感人的，动人的”。
考向4 词类转换


一、形容词变副词

形容词变副词通常是加ly,其变化有规律可循,请记住以下口诀：
一般直接加，―元(e)去e加，―辅(y)改i加，le结尾e改y。
分别举例如下：quick—quickly; true—truly; happy—happily; possible—possibly
具体规则如下：
1. 一般情况下直接加―ly，如：
recent—recently polite—politely
sad—sadly immediate—immediately
2. 少数以e结尾的形容词，要去掉e再加-ly。如：
true-truly due-duly
绝大多数辅音字母加e结尾的形容词直接加-ly。如：
polite—politely wide—widely
wise—wisely nice—nicely
3. 以―个y结尾的，且读音为 / i /， 先将―y改成―i，再加―ly，如：
happy—happily heavy—heavily
angry—angrily busy—busily
但是如果读音为 / ai /， 直接加ly，如：
dry—dryly shy---shyly
4. 以ic 结尾的词，加ally，如：
economic—economically basic—basically
scientific—scientifically automatic—automatically
energetic—energetically
5. 以辅音字母加le结尾时,去e加y，如：
simple—simply considerable—considerably
terrible—terribly gentle—gently
possible—possibly probable—probably
元音字母加le时加 ly，如：sole-solely。但是whole-wholly例外。
6. 以-ll结尾时，只须加 –y，如：
dull—dully shrill—shrilly
需注意: 有些以ly结尾的词是形容词而非副词。如：
friendly people motherly care lovely dog
monthly exam heavenly peace a manly sport
二、形容词后缀
1. －able 以“－able”结尾的形容词一般有两种情况：
（1）v.＋able→adj. 以这种方式构成的形容词其意义为“能……的”、“可以（被）……的”、“适 合于……
的”、“值得……的”等，即有被动含义。
reliable（可以依靠的） drinkable（可以饮用的 ） eatable（可食用的）
（2）n.＋able→adj. 这种形容词意为“具有……特点的”。
valuable（有价值的） reasonable（ 有道理的） comfortable（舒适的）。
2. －al 该词缀大多是加在名词后形成形容词的。 不过，有些“－al”后缀则仅体现了该词的形容词性 ，
并非以这种方式构成形容词。“－al”意为“属于……的”“有……特性的”。 如：actual，medical等。
3. －ful 这一后缀有两种情况：
(1)加在名词之后构成形容词，表示“充满……的”“有……性质的”，如beautiful,colourful,
helpful,powerful,successful,useful,wonderful。
(2)加在动词之后，所构成的形容词意为“易于……的”，如forgetful。
4. －ical “－ical”同“ic”一样附加在名词或词干后构成形容词，意为“……的”、“……似的 ”、“与……
有关的”，如physical,political,practical,technical等。
注意：
(1)有些形容词的词尾可能是“－ic”和“－ical”并存，且可以互相替代，但这不是说两者就没 有任何区别。一般来说，词尾“ic”与词根的关系比较密切，而词尾“ical”与词根的关系比较含糊，一般作 “与……有关的”解。 请比较：an electric light（电灯），electrical engineering（电气工程）；histo ric意为“历史上有名气的”，historical则意为“关于历史的”。
(2)以“ic”结尾的形容词，其相应副词 则往往是pacifically,scientifically。
5. －ive “－ive”意为“……的”、“与……有关的”、“具有……性质的”等。如：native,
active,passive,attentive,expensive。
6. －less “－less”加在名词、动词后，表示“无”、“缺”。
7. －（i）ous 该形容词后缀意为“充满……的”、“具有……特征的”，加在名词、动词和形容词 之后。 例如：curious,famous,dangerous,obvious,poisonous,serious,various。

4. using【解析】without是介词，后面接动名词。
