5.体现两句间逻辑关系的连接性副词
解决这类问题,首先要弄清形容词和副词真正含义,在解题时要弄清上下文的逻辑关系。

请看下列选择题:
①Progress so far has been very good. _______, we are sure that the project will be completed on time.

③Much of the power of the trade union s has been lost. _ , their political influence should be very great. (2006广东)
A. As a result B. As usual C. Even so D. So far
由前后的语意逻辑可知,所填之词应是表示“即使如此”之意,用even so。句意:工会已经失去很多权力了;即使这样,他们的政治影响还应当还是很大的。本题答案是C。
6.too much和much too的区别
①too much有下列用法
too much的含义是“太多”,充当形容词用时,too是副词,用来修饰much,后接不可数名词。

too much充当代词用时,后面不接名词,代替上下文提到的事物。

饰形容词或副词。
It’s much too expensive.太贵了。
You walk(much)too far yesterday.昨天你散步走得太远了。
