四、much too, too much的比较
much too就是too的强势语,用来修饰形容词或副词,意为“太…”;too much就是much的强势语,用来修饰不可数名词或动词(后面不接任何词),意为“太多(…)”。如:
1. Allen had to call a taxi because the box was ________ to carry all the way home. (全国卷)
A. much too heavy B. too much heavy
C. heavy too much D. too heavy much
【分析】答案选A。heavy是形容词,应用副词too来修饰,而much too就是too的强势语。
2. It was ________ late to catch a bus after the party, therefore we called a taxi. (上海卷)
A. too very B. much too
C. too much D. far
【分析】答案选B。late是形容词,用much too修饰。
五、nearly, almost的比较
在肯定句中或者don’t, doesn’t, didn’t之前,两者可互换,只是almost = very nearly。但是:
1. 在not, very, pretty之后用nearly,不用almost。(from www.nmet168.cn)
2. 在no, no one, none, nobody, nothing, nowhere, never, any, too, impossible, think, believe, wish等前面用almost,而不用nearly。若是做选择题,只要记住在not, very, pretty之后用nearly外,一般选almost。如:
There isn’t nearly enough time to learn all these words. 把这些词都学会,是间远远不够。
Almost no one believes her. 几乎没有人相信她。
六、so, that, such的比较
so是副词,后面一定是接形容词或副词;在口语中,常用that来代替so;such是形容词,后接“(形容词+)名词”,但在名词有表示“多”“少”的many, much, little, few时,要用so。如:
1. Can you believe that in ________ a rich country there should be ________ many poor people? (全国卷)
A. such; such B. such, so
C. so; so D. so; such
【分析】答案选B。名词前用形容词such,such a rich country =so rich a country;在many前要用so。
2. Sometimes it was a bit boring to work there because there wasn’t always ________ much to do. (广东卷)
A. such B. that
C. more D. very
【分析】答案选B。much前用so, 不用such。口语中,常用that来代替so。
