  形、义相近的副词
        【例如】
        Floods cause billions of dollars worth of property damage ____. (CET-4 1998,6)
        A) relatively B) actually
        C) annually D) comparatively
        relatively:相对地,比较地;actually:实际上;annually:每年;comparatively:比较地;根据句意:每年洪水都造成价值数十亿美元的财产损失,应选择B。
        These goods are ____for export, though a few of them may be sold on the home market. (CET-4 1998,6) 
        A) essentially B) completely C) necessarily D) remarkably
        essentially:基本上;completely:完全地;necessarily:必要地;remarkably:不平常地。根据句意:这些商品基本上用于出口,尽管其中一部分也在国内市场销售,故选择A
        
        副词在句中的位置
        1)修饰形容词或副词时,通常放在前面。
        2)当句子的谓语动词是行为动词时,频度副词一般放在谓语动词之前。句中有be或助动词、情态动词时,放在其后。
        【例如】
         I often go to the cinema on weekend with my husband. I can hardly understand him for what he said was really confusing.have never been abroad until now.
        3)程度副词修饰形容词或副词,通常放在被修饰的形容词之前。但是enough总是放在所修饰的形容词或副词之后。
        【例如】
        The boy didn’t work hard enough. He is quite diligent. But his achievement is not good enough.
        4) only的位置比较灵活,修饰哪个词,就放在哪个词的前面,以示强调。
        【例如】
         I only saw John yesterday. I didn’t see his wife. I have bought two kilos of potatoes only. Only in the afternoon, can you borrow books from the university library. 
        
        副词的作用与构成
         副词用来修饰形容词、副词和动词。大部分副词由“形容词+ly”构成,如:happy→happily, slow→slowly, wonderful→wonderfully等。但有些以ly结尾的词却不是形容词,而是副词,如:friendly, brotherly, likely, lonely等。有些词可以作形容词也可以作副词,如:early, late, fast, hard, low, much, near等。
        
        一些音、形、义相近的形容词
        英语中有些音、形、义非常接近的形容词,辨析这些形容词是掌握形容词用法的重点,也是大学英语四级考试中“词汇与结构”的一个重点项目。
        【例如】
        No one imagined that the apparently ____professor was actually a criminal.
        A) respectful B) respectable
        C) respective D) respecting 
        respectful 表示“尊敬他人的”;respectable表示“受人尊敬的”;respective则表示“各自的”; respecting常用作介词,表示“关于”。根据句意:没有人想到这个表面令人尊敬的教授实际上是个罪犯,应选 B.No one would believe his story. It was quite ____ . 
        A) credible B) credulous C) creditable D) incredible
        credible意为“可靠的”;credulous意为“轻信的”;creditable意为“高贵的”;incredible意为“不可靠的”。根据题意应选D.句意为:没有人会相信他的故事,那是相当不可靠的。
        It is quite necessary for a qualified teacher to have good manner and ____ knowledge. (CET-4 1996,1)
