例题: (1)

(B) do they represent (C) to represent (D) representing

(2)

(A) it is known as human knowledge (B) is known as human knowledge (C) known human knowledge

注意:介词后面不能够接 that 所引导的从句,除非in that连起来作为特殊的状语从句引导词,表原因 (3) (Exer1_21_31)

第五章动词
动词是表达句意的精髓,句子的时态、语态等全依靠动词来体现。 动词可分为实意动词(如:go, do, make)、系动词(如:be, remain, seem)、助动词和情态动词(见第七章)
实意动词又可分为及物动词,即可接宾语的词,如:yield, resist, discover;和不及物动词,即不能直接接宾语的词,如:go, begin, happen。有很多词既是及物动词又是不及物动词,如:drop, grow, fail
第一节 不定式
不定式是动词的非谓语形式,它的构成为:to+动词原形,to可视为不定式的标志词,两个动词常用to连接构成不定式。
不定式可以有多种形式,如:主动式(to drink, to see)、被动式(to be continued, to be understood)、完成式(to have completed, to have been adopted)、进行式(to be leaving)等
不定式在句中常作下列成分:
考点一 不定式作宾语、主语或表语
1. 作宾语:不定式多接在谓语动词后作宾语
如:He decided to put in a good word for me at the meeting. I didn't expect to hear from you so soon. 常用的可接不定式宾语的动词有:decide, expect, determine, offer, forget, remember, want, prefer, wish, hope, continue, begin, attempt, agree, etc.
例:Human beings are social animals who usually prefer not to live in physical or psychological isolation.
2. 作主语:不定式短语可作主语
如:To see is to believe (百闻不如一见)
To work hard should be your major concern.
注意:由于英文不习惯句子主语过长,不定式主语常被形式主语it所代替(详见第十七章) 例如上面第二句可以变为: It should be your major concern to work hard. 又如: It is very nice of you to help me.
It is hard for you to carry this heavy box.
3. 作表语:当句子的主语是purpose, aim, duty, goal, hope, plan, suggestion, idea, intention, problem, mistake, reaction等表示“意图”、“目的”、“功能”等意思的词时,一般由不定式作表语 如:His only purpose in life is to seek truth.
Our plan was to raise money for the new project.
例题: (1)
Before the invention of the clock, people had to reliable on the celestial bodies to A B C tell time. D
答案:C
应改为:rely.
解释:此处to是构成不定式的标志词, 之后应接动词原形
(2) Chinese immigrants began ---- to the United States in large numbers in the middle of the nineteenth century.
