    副词是TOEEL测试中非常活跃的词类。它与形容词一样,是词类变化题型必考的词性。一般说来,有关副词的题目并不很难。绝大部分考的是副词词性的判断。题型主要有下述几项:(1)副词与形容词混淆(详见本忆要点之[词类变化])(2)否定副词Not 的用法、(3)易混淆的副词。

    副词常考题型及解题要点

    1 副词与形容词的功能区别:形容词修饰名词;副词修饰除名词以外的所有词性及句子成分

    [例1] The ordeal of the Cherokee Indians, who were forcible moved from their homeland in the 1830*s, is remembered as the *Tears*. (91.10)

    [答案] B 修饰动词moved应用副词forcibly.

    [例2] Although the United States experienced rapidly growth in the first half of the nincieenth century, it was still predominately concerned with agriculture and forestry. (93.10)

    [答案] A 修饰名词growth应用形容词rapid,而不用副词rapidly. 此题是TOEEL常考类型题。请注意以- ly后缀构成的副词通常是命题焦点。

    2. 否定词not与形容词no的区别

    解题要点: 区分副词not和形容词no的命题是TOEEL常考的题型,主要分布在structure (1-15题)中。当not或no出现在选择答案中,应首先判断它所修饰的中心词的词性以决定选哪一个否定词。
