形容词与副词◆陷阱题分析◆1.We don’t care if a hunting dog smells _____, but we really don’t want him to smell ____.A. well, wellB. bad, badC. well, badlyD. badly, bad【陷阱】容易误选B，认为两个smell 均为连系动词，后接形容词作表语。
【分析】正确答案为D。
句中的第一个smell 为实义动词，意为“闻气味”、“嗅觉”，smell badly 意为“嗅觉差”；第二个smell 为连系动词，意为“闻起来(有某种气味)”，smell bad 意为“闻起来气味难闻”。
全句意为“我们并不介意一条猎狗的嗅觉不好，但我们的确不希望它的气味难闻”。
2.“Our team is _____ to win the match.” “Really? But I don’t think so.”A. EasyB. difficultC. PossibleD. sure【陷阱】几个干扰项均有可能误选，因为假若单纯从中文意思来看，四个答案均说得通。
【分析】正确答案为D，A、B、C三项填入空格处虽然从汉语来看说得通，但不合英语习惯。
因为按英语习惯，easy 和difficult 后接不定式时，其主语(或逻辑主语)通常应是it，而不能是具体的人或物，除非这个主语与其后不定式有动宾关系。
3. Mary is very clever and _____ worth teaching, but her brother is not. Look, he is now_____ asleep in class.A. very, veryB. much, veryC. well, veryD. well, fast【陷阱】容易误选A，因为许多学生往往将汉语中的“很”与英语中的very 等同。
【分析】但是，许多汉语中的“很”是不能用英语中的very 来直译的。
如汉语“我很喜欢英语”，在英语中就不能说成I very like English，而应说成I like English very much，因为副词very 在英语中习惯上不用来修饰动词。
上面一题不能选A，是因为形容词worth 和asleep 习惯上不能用副词very 来修饰，而是分别用well 和fast修饰，即说成be well worth doing sth(很值得做某事)，be fast (或sound) asleep(熟睡)，所以此题的最佳答案应选D。
4.“Could I take your order now?” “Yes. One _____ tea and two _____ coffees.”A. black, whiteB. red, whiteC. black, greenD. red, black【陷阱】容易误选B或D。
【分析】按汉语习惯，在“茶”前要加表颜色的形容词通常应是“红”和“绿”，即说“红茶”和“绿茶”。
但是在英语中，人们虽然可直接用green tea来表示“绿茶”，但却不能直接用red tea 来表示“红茶”，汉语中的“红茶”说成英语应是black tea，所以第一空应填black，即选A 或C。
对于第二空，coffee 前通常使用的表颜色的形容词是white 和black，其中white coffee 指“牛奶咖啡”(因牛奶呈白色)，black coffee 指“没有加牛奶的咖啡”（即纯咖啡或清咖啡），由此可知上题的最佳答案应是A。
5. A ______ road goes ______ from one place to another.A. straight, straightB. straightly, straightlyC. straight, straightlyD. straightly, straight【陷阱】容易误选C。
认为straightly 是straight 的副词形式。
【分析】在现代英语中，straight 既可用作形容词，也可用作副词。
而straightly这个副词在现代英语中已被废弃，许多词典均不再收录此词。
所以此题最佳答案应选A。
6. How beautifully she sings! I have never heard _____ voice.A. a betterB. a bestC. the betterD. the best【分析】最佳答案为A，全句句意为“她唱得多好啊！我从未听过她这么好的声音”。
7. You are _____ careful than you r brother. You two can’t do the work that needs care and skill. A. not more B. no more C. not less D. no less 【分析】此题最佳答案为B。
要做对此题，首先要正确理解以下结构的含义：not more … than = 不如……no more … than = 和……一样不(否定两者)not less … than = 不如……不(即指不如less 后形容词的反面)no less … than = 和……一样(肯定两者)比较以下各句的意思：You are more careful than he is. 你比他仔细。
You are not more careful than he is. 你不如他仔细。
You are no more careful than he is. 你和他一样不仔细。
You are less careful than he is. 你不如他仔细（你比他粗心）。
You are not less careful than he is. 你比他仔细（你不如他粗心）。
You are no less careful than he is. 你和他一样仔细。
8.“Oh, how fat he is!” “But I think he is ____ than fat.”A. ShortB. shorterC. more shortD. shortest【分析】其实正确答案应是C。
要弄清此问题，得先从比较句型的两种不同类型说起：(1) 异类同质比较：即指两个不同的人或事物(异类)在同一方面(同质)进行比较。
如：My room is smaller than yours. 我的房间比你的小。
Our country is more powerful than theirs. 我们的国家比他们的国家更强大。
(2) 同类异质比较：即指同一个人或事物(同类)在两个不同的方面(异质)进行比较，这类句子常译为“(更多的)是……，而不是”、“与其……不如……”等。
如：He was more lucky than clever.他是靠运气而不是靠聪明。
She was mare surprised than angry. 她感到更多的是惊讶而不是生气。
This is more a war movie than a western. 这更应当说是一部战争片，而不是西部片。
按英语习惯，在进行同类异质比较时，只能用more构成比较级，不能用-er形式，即使是单音节词也是如此。
