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。
