考点19：副词的基本用法—副词作状语的用法
副词的基本用法是在句子中作状语，修饰动词、形容词、其他副词乃至整个句子。
例如：My mother has been working hard all morning.我母亲辛辛苦苦地干了一上午的活。（副词hard修饰动词）
My brother and I are quite different. 我兄弟和我很不一样。（副词quite修饰形容词）
He runs very fast. 他跑得很快。（副词very修饰副词）
Obviously, the television has both advantages and disadvantages. 显然，电视有优点也有缺点。（副词obviously修饰全句）
［例1］ I've been writing this report ____ for the last two weeks, but it has to be handed in tomorrow.
A. finally
B. immediately
C. occasionally
D. certainly
［答案］ C
［解析］ 题干中前半句用的是现在完成进行时态，后面又提到“（报告）明天必须上交”，这表明报告还没有写完。四个选项的基本含义分别是“最终”、“立刻”、“偶尔（间或）”、“当然”，选项C最贴合句意，充当writing的状语，表示“断断续续地写”。
［例2］ Running a company is not ____ a matter of hiring people—they also need to be trained.
A. simply
B. partly
C. seriously
D. equally
［答案］ A
［解析］ simply指“仅仅，只不过”，partly指“部分地”，seriously指“严肃地，严重地”，equally指“平等地，相等地”，以上四个副词中simply最符合题意，题干中句子的意思是：经营一家公司不仅仅是雇人的事情——还需要对雇员进行培训。
［例3］ “Perhaps we need to send for Dr. Smith to see what we can do about it,”Father suggested ____ to his neighbor who had come to discuss the problem.
A. tentatively
B. thoughtlessly
C. definitely
D. rudely
［答案］ A
［解析］ 题干句意为：“看来我们要请史密斯博士来看看我们对此能如何处理，”父亲向来讨论此问题的邻居试探性地建议道。A选项指“试探性地”，符合语境；B选项意为“欠考虑地”，C选项意为“明确地”，D选项意为“粗鲁地”，都与语境不符。
高考中某些副词有两种形式，一种形式与其形容词形式同形，另一种形式是形容词带后缀-ly，在使用中要特别留意两者在意思上的差异。高考中常见的类似副词主要有以下几组：
请体会如下例句：
They tried hard to succeed. 他们努力工作以获得成功 。
It was so dark that I could hardly see anything.
天那么黑，我几乎什么都看不见。
You have come too late. 你来得太晚了 。
What have you been doing lately? 你近来在干些什么 ？
He pushed the stick deep into the mud. 他把棍子深深插入泥土中 。
Father was deeply moved by the film. 父亲被这部电影深深感动了 。
The plane was flying high. 飞机正在高飞 。
I think highly of your opinion. 我尊重你的观点 。
He opened the door wide. 他把门大开 。
English is widely used in the world. 英语在全世界被广泛使用 。

You may speak freely; say what you like. 你可以畅所欲言 。
［例4］ — Hi, Mark. How was the musical evening?
— Excellent! Alex and Andy performed ____ and they won the first prize.
A. skillfully
B. commonly
C. willingly
D. nervously
［答案］ A
［解析］ skillfully指“巧妙地，技术好地”，commonly指“一般，普通，通常”，willingly指“愿意地，欣然地”，nervously指“紧张不安地”，题干中前一个说话者问音乐晚会怎么样，回答者的回答是“非常好”，由此推知Alex和Andy应该是娴熟地（skillfully）完成了表演并获得第一名。
