托福备考经验中总结,副词是托福考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。所以托福备考中一定要复习到保证不失分。绝大部分考的是副词词性的判断。
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。

3、辨别词形相近的副词和形容词
hare (努力、副词) hardly (几乎不、副词)
close (接近、形容词) closely (接近、副词)
near (接近、形容词) nearly (几乎、副词)
most (大多数的、形容词) mostly(主要地、副词)
late (迟、晚、形容词) lately(最近、副词)
