专四语法考点串讲之四形容词、副词及比较平行结构一、形容词后置情况总结：（1）修饰不定代词something, anything, nothing, everything等时，例：There is something difficult in this book.（2）形容词后面有介词短语或不定式短语的时候。
例：This is a student worth of praise.（3）用and或or连接两个形容词通常放在被修饰的名词之后，起强调修饰的作用。
例：They will turn their motherland into a country, beautiful and modern.（4）形容词同表示数量的词组连用时亦放在后面。
例：The pipe is twelve feet long.二、感叹副词what、how之间的区别：what修饰名词或名词短语，how修饰副词或形容词。
如：56．Which of the following sentences is INCORRECT? （2012）A．How strange feelings they are! B．How dare you speak to me like that!C．What noise they are making! D. What a mess we are in!三、同根副词辨析：1）hard 努力地hardly几乎2）late晚，迟lately近来3）most 极，非常mostly 主要地4）wide广阔地widely广泛地5）deep深，迟deeply抽象意义上的“深”6）near 邻近nearly 几乎7) express 用快递方式expressly清楚地，明白地8）just恰好，正是justly正义、公正地……详细阅读课本（P276-280）并做P280-281练习题24B。
四、比较等级的常见句型：（1）as+原级+ as（as+原级+a/an+单数可数名词+ as），其否定形式为not as/so+原级+ as（2）比较级+than+比较对象（less+原级+比较对象）（3）比较级+and+比较级或more and more +原级（4）the+比较级…，the+比较级…（5）the+比较级+of the two（6）the+最高级（+单数可数名词）+of/among+复数名词或in+单数名词（7）be one of/among+ the+最高级+复数名词（8）the last+原级（+单数可数名词）+of/among+复数名词或in+单数名词五、比较等级的修饰语：（1）修饰原级：fairly, quite, rather, so, very, too等。
（2）修饰比较级：much, even, far, rather, still, any, no (而不用very, quite, fairly，Greatly)，a bit, a little,a head, a great deal. a lot , by far等。
六、如果复数名词前有many、few，不可数名词前有much、little等表示量的形容词时，该用so而不用such；注意：little不表示数量而表示“小”的意思时,仍用such。
七、almost与nearly的用法区别：在very, pretty, not后用nearly, 不用almost。
在any, no, none, never 前用almost, 不用nearly。
Eg. I’m not nearly ready. I almost never see her.八、特殊结构:1. A is to B what / as X is Y ;如：53. Nine is to three _____ three is to one. (2008)A. whenB. thatC. whichD. what2. A+V.+倍数或分数as + adj. / adv. + as +B.A +V.+倍数或分数+名词of B如：55. A new laptop costs about _____ of a second-hand one.

as可引导非限制性从句，常带有‘正如’。
As we know, smoking is harmful to one‘s health.As is known, smoking is harmful to one’s health.As是关系代词。
例1中的as作know的宾语；例2中，它充当从句的主语，谓语动词know要用被动式。
