A) range B) level C) extent D) quantity 例： My father seemed to be in no _____ to look at my school report. A) mood B) emotion C) attitude D) feeling 第二讲 形容词形容词和副词是英语语法中的重要组成部分，词汇用法测试中的重要内容之一就是：形容词和副词 的误用；形容词和副词用于修饰时的词序；某些在词义上容易混淆的形容词和副词；有关形容词和副词 比较级和最高级的用法；由形容词和副词和其它词所组成的固定结构等。 下面我们就谈谈这些问题： 下面我们就谈谈这些问题： 1. 语序 形容词做定语的一般词序为： 限定词-性质-形状-颜色-来源-材料--基本特征和用途--名词，即：当一个名词有几个前置修饰语时， 表示最基本特征的词往往离所修饰的名词最近。 例：a beautiful blue dress，短语中 blue 是 dress 的基本特征，所以最靠近修饰的名词 dress。 2. 词义辨析 形容词词义辨析以及形容词与名词的搭配是历年四级的考点之一。 1) 同义形容词、近义形容词辨析 例：There were some ________ flowers on the table. A) artificial B) unnatural C) false D) unreal 例：Our new house is very ________ for me as I can get to the office in five minutes. A) adaptable B) comfortable C) convenient D) available 例：They took ________ measures to prevent poisonous gases from escaping. A) fruitful B) beneficial C) valid D) effective 4. 形近形容词辨析 例：It is quite necessary for a qualified teacher to have good manners and _____ knowledge. A) extensive B) expansive C) intensive D) expensive 5. 易混形容词辨析 例：In Britain, the best season of the year is probably _____ spring. A) later B) last C) latter D) late 6. 形容词与名词的搭配 例：In the advanced course students must take performance tests at monthly _____. A) gaps B) intervals C) length D) distance 例：Students or teachers can participate in excursions to lovely beaches around the island at regular _____. A) gaps B) rate C) length D) intervals 7. 形容词 most 的用法 例：It is reported that _____ adopted children want to know who their natural parents are. A) the most B) most of C) most D) the most of 8. 数词+名词构成复合形容词，其构成方法及用法见下例： 例 Despite the wonderful acting and well-developed plot the ____ movie could not hold our attention. A) three-hours B) three-hour C) three-hours' D) three-hour's 9. 比较和倍数的表达 例：Americans eat ________ as they actually need every day. A) twice as much protein B) twice protein as much C) twice protein as much D) protein as twice much 副词 1. 副词的一般词序为： 副词的一般词序为： 频度副词--被修饰动词--程度副词--方式副词--地点副词--时间副词 例：You always study very hard here this term.（你这个学期总是在这里非常用功地学习。 ） a) neither，nor 的用法 ， 例：The organization had broken no rules, but _____ had it acted responsibly. A) neither B) so C) either D) both b) however 的用法 例：I've already told you that I'm going to buy it, _________. A) however much it costs B) however does it costs much C) how much does it cost D) no matter how it costs c) more than 的习惯用法：两词连起来用时表示“非常”“不仅仅” 的习惯用法 、 ；两词分开用时表示“与其…… 不如” 。 例：You mean much to me. You are more than a friend of mine.（你对我很重要。你不仅仅是我的朋友。 ） It is more a measure of desperation than as one calculated to achieve victory.（与其推测为"争取胜利"，不 如说它是孤注一掷。 D) less than 的习惯用法表示“很不……” 的习惯用法表示“很不……” 。 例：The general manager is extremely busy recently, and he is obviously less than pleased to have visitors.（总 （ 经理最近非常繁忙，很显然他不高兴有来访者。 经理最近非常繁忙，很显然他不高兴有来访者。 ） E) hardly more than 例：The little man was _____ one metre fifty high. A) almost more than B) hardly more than C) nearly more than D) as much as F) no more than 的习惯用法：合用时表示“只不过、至多、仅仅、就是” 的习惯用法： ；分开用时表示“和……一样、 正如……一样” 。 例：He always looks down upon others, but he himself is no more than nobody.（他总是瞧不起别人，但 其实他自己只不过是个庸人而已。 ） G) no less than 的习惯用法：合用时表示“至少、多达” 分开用时表示“和……一样、正如……一样” 的习惯用法：合用时表示“至少、多达” ； （= no more……than） 。 例：The output of this year will be no less than 18 million tons.（今年的产量将多达一千八百万吨。 ） 代词（ 第三讲 代词（一）代词分为人称代词、物主代词、反身代词、指示代词、疑问代词、关系代词、连接代词和不定代词 等。其中重点是： 1. 物主代词：本类代词又分为形容词性物主代词和名词性物主代词。 这两类代词用法的最大区别是： 形容词性物主代词具有形容词性质和作用，用于修饰名词；名词性物主代词具有名词性质和作用，本身 就可以做主语、表语或宾语。换句话说，形容词性物主代词后面必须加名词，而名词性物主代词后面不 得加名词。 例：I don't like my own bicycle, I like his.（我不喜欢我自己的自行车，我喜欢他的。 ） These are not his belongings, they are mine.（这些不是他的财物，是我的。 ） 2. 关系代词：who，whose，whom，which，that，as，等 注意： 注意：在以下情况中不能用 that： ： g) 在非限制性定语从句中 例：She has two brothers, who are both doctors. （她有两个兄弟，他们都是医生。 ） h) 在介词后（但如果介词移到其它位置上，还是可以用 that） 例：I am going to visit the old man from whom I once learned English.（我要去拜访一位曾经教过我英语 的老人。 ） 3) as 的用法 as 用做关系代词时，类似 who, which，常和 such, same 连用，并在固定句型中出现。 例：He was an Englishman, as I knew from his accent.（他是个英国人，这是我从他的口音中得知的。 ） My hometown is no longer the same as it was.（我的家乡和过去不一样了。 代词（ 代词（二） 3. 不定代词 不定代词：在这里，我们只谈论几个重要的不定代词用法。 1) any，all, every, each 都可以译成“每个人，人人，大家”，both 的意思是“两者都”，但它们的 具体异同点为： A) all 强调整体，every 强调每个人，each 强调每个人各自。 强调整体， 例：All ______ is a continuous supply of the basic necessities of life. A) what is needed B) for our needs C) the thing needed D) that is needed B) all 和 every 都适用于三者及三者以上的情况，前面都可以加否定词（如：not, nearly, by no means 等）。 而 each 可指包括两者在内的情况（即，要指两者中每个人的话，只能用 each）。all 和 each 都可以加 of 加名词，但 every 后面不能接 of。 例：The residents, _________ had been damaged by the flood, were given help by the Red Cross. A) all their homes B) all whose homes C) all of whose homes D) all of their homes C) any 表示“任一的、任何的” 表示“任一的、任何的” 例：The medicine is on sale everywhere. You can get it at _____ chemist's.

A) didn't do B) haven't done C) don't do D) have done 1) nothing but（通常指物）与 none but（通常指人）： ）：只不过，只有 （通常指物） （通常指人）： 例：Don't worry about that too much. It is nothing but a quiz.（不要太焦虑，这只不过是一次小测验。） 例：When he arrived, he found ________ the aged and the sick at home. A) none but B) none other than C) nothing but D) no other than 2) anything but：并不，根本不 ：并不， 例：He was anything but a fool.（他根本不是个傻瓜。） 5. much 和 many 作代词的用法 例：As I was just getting familiar with this job, I had _______ to ask my boss. A) many B) most C) more D) much 6. few，a few 和 little，a little 都可修饰名词，也可直接用作名词。 都可修饰名词，也可直接用作名词。 ， ， 1) 当名词用时，few 和 a few 为可数名词，而 little 和 a little 为不可数名词。 2) few 后接可数名词，little 后接不可数名词。 3) few 和 little 都是否定意思，与 no 意义相近，表示“几乎没有，没有，极少（少得近乎没有）” 的意思。 4) a few 和 a little 都是肯定意思，表示“有一些”。 例：19Even those who had _______ or no training in science might not have made their inventions if a groundwork had not been laid by scientists years before. A) little B) much C) some D) any 等，以保证语气通顺自然。 例：I was advised to arrange for insurance ________ I needed medical treatment. A) nevertheless B) although C) in case D) so that 6. 结果状语从句 由 so that, so…that, such…that 等引导。 注意：so…that 与 such…that 的区别在于：前者的省略号处是形容词或副词，而后者的省略号处最终 是一个名词。“最终”的意思是，该名词前也可以出现形容词甚至出现修饰形容词的副词，但整个词组 的中心词是这个名词。 7. 让步状语从句 由 though, although, even if, even though, however, no matter how/ what/ who 等引导。注意对让步状语 从句的掌握要注意以下几点内容。 1) 使用 though, although 时，务必避免与 but 连用。 2) even if, even though 和 as if, as though 不同。后者常常要求使用虚拟语气。 例：I've already told you that I'm going to buy it, _________. A) however much it costs B) however does it costs much C) how much does it cost D) no matter how it costs 8. 比较状语从句 比较状语从句 由 than, the…the…, as…as 引导。 例：They usually have less money at the end of the month than ________ at the beginning.

Passage One All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!” For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.” One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!” 51. The housewives learnt about the of free goods _______.

It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns. The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry. For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water. Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown. 56. The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________. A. part of a historical cave system B. the biggest underground lake in the world C. listed in the Guinness Book of World Records D. the largest body of water in Tennessee 57.

Many old Indian objects. 60. It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as ____.

Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent. For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.” Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”. 61. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______. A. the year the author wrote the article B. 1977 C. any year between 1997 and 1983 D. 1983 62. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______. A. several studies have been done in the past few years B. the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s health C. adults have especially made studies in this field D. eating little in the morning is good for health 63. “…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means ______. A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performance B. not giving people breakfast improve performance C. having breakfast does not improve performance, either D. people having breakfast do improve their performance 64. The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _______. A. stories, poems, plays, etc. B. written works on a particular subject C. any printed material D. the modern literature of America 65. What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______. A. breakfast does not affect performance B. Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning C. not eating breakfast might affect the health of children D. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London Passage Four About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生). It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies. Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time. While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity. 66. College education is _______ in America. A. quite common B. very rare C. something difficult D. almost impossible 67. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools. A. entrance examinations B. taking part in many activities C. GPA D. college prep classes 68. How can poor students attend private schools? A. Only by working at part-time jobs. B. Only by working at full-time jobs. C. Only by earning scholarships. D. All of above. 69. The American college students like to _______ most of all. A. discuss problems on philosophy B. play balls C. earn enough money D. go to the cinemas or theatres 70. The best title for this passage is _______. A. Part-time jobs B. American college C.
