一、 考查几组热点词(组)的辨析
1. 有些副词有两种形式,一个与形容词同形,一个以-ly结尾,但它们的含义不同。例如:
close接近地;closely仔细地,密切地 / free免费地;freely自由地,无拘束地 / hard努力地;hardly几乎不 / high高;highly高度地 / deep深;deeply深深地(抽象意义) / wide宽;widely广泛地 / late晚;lately近来 / most极,非常;mostly主要地 / near邻近;nearly几乎。

It was raining heavily. Little Mary felt cold, so she stood __________ to her mother.
A. close B. closely
C. closed D. closing
答案为A。
2. much too与too much
much too的中心词为too(副词),其后跟形容词或副词;too much的中心词是much(形容词),其后跟名词。
[原题再现]
Allen had to call a taxi because the box was __________ to carry all the way home.
A. much too heavy
B. too much heavy
C. heavy too much
D. too heavy much
答案为A。
3. so与such
so是副词,不能修饰名词,应修饰形容词;such是形容词,可修饰名词。其搭配结构是:so + 形容词 + a(n) + 可数名
词单数;such + a(n) +(形容词)+可数名词单数。
如果是不可数名词或复数名词,则只能用such,不能用so。

-I was riding along the street and all of a sudden, a car cut in and knocked me down.
-You can never be _____careful in the street.

二、 考查副词(词组)在具体语境中的正确使用
[原题再现]
We all write __________, even when there's not much to say.
A. now and then B. by and by
C. step by step D. more or less
答案为A。
[解析] now and then "时而,不时";by and by"渐渐地";step by step"一步步地";more or less "或多或少地"。根据语境"即使没有多少东西可说,我们都时不时地写点什么"可得出答案。
三、 考查副词与动词、形容词等的习惯搭配
[原题再现]
Mr. Smith used to smoke__________ but he has given it up.
A. seriously B. heavily
C. badly D. hardly
答案为 B。
[解析] 英语表示"吸烟很多"时,修饰smoke习惯用副词heavily,修饰名词用heavy,如a heavy smoker等。
四、考查副词在比较等级中的使用
[原题再现]
① He speaks English well indeed, but of course not __________ a native speaker.
A. as fluent as
B. more fluent than
C. so fluently as
D. much fluently than
答案为C。
[解析] 修饰动词speak应使用副词fluently。
② You're standing too near the camera. Can you move __________?
A. a bit far B. a little farther
C. a bit of farther D. a little far
答案为B。
[解析] 根据too near可知,说话人的意图是让对方站的比这远一点,应使用副词的比较级。比较级前的修饰语常用的有a little, a bit, even, far, much等。
五、 考查连接副词引导从句的用法
[原题再现]
You should try to get a good night's sleep __________ much work you have to do.
A. however B. no matter
C. although D. whatever
答案为A。
[解析] however是连接副词,修饰much,并引导让步状语从句。
