在语境中考查形容词或副词
有时考试试题中所提供的四个选项为形式形同(如都是原级)、使用方法相近、意义相异的形容词或副词，考生需要依据语境，即依据上下文的意思、逻辑或搭配等来确定一个最好选项。这是近年高考考试命题的一个热门，体现着将来的命题趋势。如：
1. This magazine is very |||||||| with young people, who like its content and style.
A. familiar B. popular C. similar D. particular
【分析】B。比较：be familiar with意为“熟知”，be popular with意为“受……欢迎”，be similar to意为“与……相似”（注意不搭配介词with），be particular about意为“对……非常讲究”(不搭配介词with)。依据句意，选B最好。
2. It isn’t socially |||||||| for parents to leave children unattended at that age.
A. accessible B. adorable C. adaptable D. acceptable
【分析】D。比较：accessible意为“容易获得的”“容易接近的”，adorable意为“可爱的”，adaptable意为“能适应的”“能适用的”，acceptable意为“可同意的”“受青睐的”。依据句意，选D最好。
3. A new |||||||| bus service to Tianjin Airport started to operate two months ago.
A. normal B. usual C. regular D. common
【分析】C。依据知识，公交车一般是往返于某一固定的线路，故选regular比较合适。
4. She devoted herself |||||||| to her research and it earned her a good reputation in her field.
A. strongly B. extremely C. entirely D. freely
【分析】C。比较：strongly意为“强烈地”，extremely意为“极端地”“很地”，entirely意为“全部地”“完全地”，freely意为“自由地”。依据句意，只有C比较适合。
5. It’s hard for him playing against me. I’ve got nothing to play for, but for him, he needs to win so ||||||||.
A. far B. well C. little D. badly
【分析】D。badly在此不是表示“坏地”，而是表示“非常”“相当”，如此用的badly主要见于与表示“想要”或“需要”的词汇或短语（如want, need, be in need of等）搭配的情形。如：He is badly in need of help. 他很需要帮助。/ He wants to go abroad badly. 他很想出国。
