副詞

副詞的構成

• 本身已是 -ly 結尾的形容詞（friendly, costly, timely, likely）沒有副詞形式；要用 in a friendly way、in a timely manner。

副詞的位置

• 副詞不放在動詞和受詞之間：We carefully checked the invoice，不說 We checked carefully the invoice。
• 在句尾時，順序通常是方式 → 地點 → 時間：She spoke confidently at the meeting yesterday.
• 修飾形容詞或其他副詞的副詞緊放在該字之前：remarkably fast、fairly quickly。例外：enough 放在後面（quickly enough）。

頻率副詞與程度副詞

• 頻率由高到低：always, usually, normally, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally, seldom, rarely, hardly ever, never。放在句中；sometimes, usually, often 也可以放句首。
• 具體的頻率片語放在句尾：once a week, every day, twice a year, on a monthly basis。
• 程度副詞放在形容詞／副詞／動詞之前：very, extremely, highly, quite, fairly, rather, pretty, slightly, completely, totally, almost, nearly, considerably, significantly。
• very 不能修飾比較級；要用 much, far, considerably：much cheaper。
• highly 的常見搭配：highly recommended, highly qualified, highly competitive, highly successful, highly likely。

容易混淆的副詞組合

• hardly 本身帶否定意義，不再加 not；常搭配 any, ever, at all 或 can。

already / yet / still

• have yet to + V = 尚未（正式用法，多益常見）：The board has yet to approve the plan.
• no longer（不再）放在句中；any longer/anymore 放在否定句句尾。

連接副詞：however、therefore、moreover

連接副詞把兩個句子的意思連起來，並說明兩者的關係：對比、結果或補充。Part 6 幾乎每份試題都有選連接副詞的題目；要答對，必須同時讀前一句和後一句。

• 連接副詞不能用逗號連接兩個子句。要在同一句中連接，請用分號：Sales rose; however, profits fell.
• 要和意思相同的連接詞區分：although, but 是連接詞，however 是副詞；because, so 是連接詞，therefore 是副詞。在 Part 5 中，空格連接兩個子句而沒有分號時，答案一定是連接詞。

常考的時間副詞與數字前的副詞

Part 5 的副詞字彙題通常圍繞兩類：時間副詞（必須與動詞時態相符）和放在數字前的副詞。

• shortly 和 immediately 常搭配 before/after：shortly after the merger、immediately after lunch。
• almost 可以搭配 all, every, always, no, never：almost all employees、almost no complaints。nearly 也可搭配 all, every, always，但通常不搭配 no, never, any。

否定副詞放在句首與倒裝

當帶有否定、限制意思的副詞或片語被移到句首來強調時，句子必須倒裝：助動詞放在主詞前面，就像疑問句一樣。這種結構很正式，常見於信件和公告。

• 句子沒有助動詞時，借用 do/does/did：Seldom does the manager leave before 7 p.m.
• 放在句首的副詞如果沒有否定意思，就不倒裝：Usually, the manager leaves at 6 p.m.

常見錯誤

練習題（附解答）

1. 1.The new manager ------- reviews every expense report before approving it.

   1. (A) careful
   2. (B) carefully
   3. (C) carefulness
   4. (D) more careful
   查看解答與解析

   答案: (B) carefully

   主詞與動詞 reviews 之間需要修飾動詞的副詞：carefully。careful、more careful 是形容詞；carefulness 是名詞。

2. 2.Mr. Dubois ------- the alarm system before he leaves the building each evening.

   1. (A) checks always
   2. (B) always check
   3. (C) always checks
   4. (D) is always check
   查看解答與解析

   答案: (C) always checks

   頻率副詞放在一般動詞之前，且單數主詞要用 checks：always checks。checks always 位置錯誤；always check 主詞動詞不一致；is always check 結構錯誤。

3. 3.Ms. Durand ------- arrives late for meetings, so her colleagues were surprised when she walked in twenty minutes after Monday's meeting had begun.

   1. (A) often
   2. (B) usually
   3. (C) always
   4. (D) rarely
   查看解答與解析

   答案: (D) rarely

   同事們對她遲到二十分鐘感到驚訝，表示她很少遲到：rarely。often、usually、always 會讓句子與 were surprised 互相矛盾。

4. 4.Dr. Mensah's book on supply-chain management has been ------- praised by industry analysts.

   1. (A) high
   2. (B) highly
   3. (C) height
   4. (D) heighten
   查看解答與解析

   答案: (B) highly

   修飾分詞 praised 的程度要用 highly（非常、高度地）。high 指物理上的高度；height 是名詞；heighten 是動詞。

5. 5.The technicians worked ------- to restore the network before the morning shift.

   1. (A) hardly
   2. (B) hardness
   3. (C) hard
   4. (D) harder than
   查看解答與解析

   答案: (C) hard

   hard 既是形容詞也是副詞（努力地）：worked hard。hardly 的意思是幾乎不，語意不符；harder than 缺少比較的對象。

6. 6.Sales of electric bicycles have grown considerably -------, especially in large cities.

   1. (A) lately
   2. (B) late
   3. (C) latest
   4. (D) lateness
   查看解答與解析

   答案: (A) lately

   lately（最近）搭配現在完成式 have grown：have grown considerably lately。late 意思是晚；latest 是最高級；lateness 是名詞。

7. 7.The client has not signed the agreement -------, so the project cannot begin.

   1. (A) already
   2. (B) yet
   3. (C) still
   4. (D) ever
   查看解答與解析

   答案: (B) yet

   否定句（has not signed）且副詞放在子句句尾，因此用 yet（尚未）。already 用於肯定句；still 必須放在 has not 前面。

8. 8.The parking lot on Fenwick Street is ------- open to visitors after 8 P.M.

   1. (A) any longer
   2. (B) not longer
   3. (C) longer not
   4. (D) no longer
   查看解答與解析

   答案: (D) no longer

   no longer（不再）放在句中、is 之後：is no longer open。any longer 需要搭配 not 並放在句尾；not longer、longer not 結構錯誤。

9. 9.The renovation will cost ------- $2 million, according to the architect's estimate.

   1. (A) approximately
   2. (B) approximate
   3. (C) approximation
   4. (D) approximated
   查看解答與解析

   答案: (A) approximately

   修飾數字 $2 million 要用副詞 approximately（大約）。approximate 是形容詞；approximation 是名詞；approximated 是分詞。

10. 10.The original venue was unavailable on that date. -------, the seminar will be held at the Rexford Hotel.

    1. (A) Consequently
    2. (B) Consequent
    3. (C) Consequence
    4. (D) Consequences
    查看解答與解析

    答案: (A) Consequently

    第二句句首需要表示結果的連接副詞：Consequently,。Consequent 是形容詞；Consequence、Consequences 是名詞。
