【自主发现】 上面句中动词不定式形式，在句中作表语，通常放在连系动词之后。
动词不定式是非谓语动词的一种，可以放在系动词be之后作表语，通常说明或解释主语的内容，也可表示将来的动作。
1.动词不定式作表语的基本用法
(1)常见的动词：不定式作表语，一般紧跟在系动词如be，seem，remain，appear，get等后面，用来说明主语的内容。
Her wish is to become a key college student after graduation.
她的愿望是毕业后成为一名名校大学生。
(2)常见的主语：通常是wish，idea，task，purpose，duty，job，goal，aim，way等表示意向、打算、计划的词及what 引导的主语从句等。
What he wanted to suggest was to cut down the price and increase the sales.
他想建议的是降低价格，增加销量。
[名师提醒] 当主语部分有what/all/everything等代词和实义动词do(表示“做”)的某种形式，那么作表语的不定式可以不带to。
①What we should do at the moment is (to) study hard.我们现在应该做的是努力学习。
②All he did at work was (to) press the button if necessary.他工作时所做的就是必要时按下按钮。
(3)表达的含义：
主语(事物)＋be＋不定式(作表语)表示主语的具体内容
主语(人)＋be＋不定式(作表语)表示将来，为“即将”之意。
His plan is to clean the room.他的计划是打扫房间。
The students are to meet at the school gate tomorrow.明天学生们将在学校大门口见面。
[名师提醒]
(1)不定式的被动形式作表语，具有情态意义，其be＋to be done形式相当于can/could/should/ought to/must＋be done。
You are to be rewarded.你应该受到奖励。(should be rewarded)
These books are not to be sold.这些书不应该卖掉。(ought not to be sold)
(2)有些作表语的不定式，在结构上是主动的，但在意义上却是被动的。

动名词作表语 强调的是一般性、抽象的、经常发生的动作

Going back to school can be an anxious time for many students.But one institution in Texas is doing its part to make sure middle schoolers are returning refreshed and inspired to learn.
Through a process called the “bathroom inspiration project，” teachers and administrators at Warren Middle School，spent their summer beautifying the school’s restrooms by painting motivational murals (壁画) on each of the stalls (小隔间).Forming messages like “Your mistakes don’t define you” and “Scatter (播撒) kindness，” the brightly colored words are exactly what a young student needs to see when having a rough day—or any school day for that matter.And now that classes are officially in session，people are already noticing a positive impact.
Since posting photos of upgrades to the school in July，Principal Joshua Garcia says that the alterations have aroused a great response.
“Students have been talking about the murals from the moment the pictures had been posted.Some even took the time to find a reason to come up to the campus to see the murals，” he says.“I think what makes this small little action so valuable is that it has set the tone for our campus.”
And not only is that important to students，parents，and fellow staff，but it is also vital for the school’s new principal，who is trying to gain the trust of the community during a time in which trust is so necessary for schools.
“Being new to the campus，I think the parents were able to see how much I value their children and have their best interest at heart，” Garcia continues.“I have had many parents tell me how they can just feel a difference in the campus climate and how much they are enjoying seeing their children wanting to come here.These murals have put trust back in the campus and its teachers，and by doing so we are able to build a culture in which our students want to be here and learn.”
1.What has happened at Warren Middle School
A.Painting has become popular among most students.
B.Some students have suffered great anxiety at school.
C.Its toilets have been beautified with inspiring murals.
D.Motivational murals have been made in each classroom.
2.What does the underlined word “alterations” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Rules. B.Arguments.
C.Changes. D.Opportunities.
3.What’s students and parents’ attitude toward those murals
A.Negative. B.Ambiguous.
C.Uninterested. D.Supportive.
4.What does Garcia intend to do according to the text
A.Reduce increasing anxiety.
B.Build an artistic atmosphere.
C.Create a trusting environment.
D.Introduce a new culture to society.

Breakdancing is set to make its debut(首次亮相) as an Olympic sport at Paris 2024，Tony Estanguet，head of the Paris organizing committee，said on February 21.Skateboarding，sport climbing and surfing which have already been added to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics，have been invited to return in Paris.
Estanguet said the choices responded to a need to make the Olympics “more urban” and “more artistic”.“We have chosen to present the International Olympic Committee (IOC) with the four sports because they are creative，appealing to the youth and completely in line with our vision.They reflect perfectly Paris 2024’s identity.”
Breakdancing is an example of a sport “which can be played anywhere and anytime in urban and other environments.” It appeared at the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires in the form of head-to-head “battles”.In competitive breakdancing，breakers face off in “battles” against each other，either as individuals or teams.Breakdancers use a mix of physical and artistic skills combining elements from gymnastics or acrobatics(杂技).
The IOC had announced that the number of competitors at Paris 2024 would be restricted to 10，500，which limited the opportunity to add sports.But the organizers said the inclusion would not necessitate the construction of permanent facilities and would involve just 248 competitors，including 32 breakdancers.The surfing events are likely to be held in established surf center such as Biarritz or Lacanau in southwest France.
The inclusion still needs to be rubberstamped by the IOC，which is expected to decide on which sports to add in Paris after next year’s Tokyo Games.
5.What do we know about breakdancing
A.It involves multiple skills.
B.It’s limited to group competition.
C.It will show up in Paris 2024.
D.It never appeared in the world events.
6.Paris organizers have chosen the four sports because they ________.
A.attract young people
B.perfectly reflect Paris’ identity
C.make Paris more urban and artistic
D.can be played anytime and anywhere
7.What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A.10，500 competitors will compete for the new sports.
B.More surf centers will be specially designed for Paris 2024.
C.The IOC will reject the proposal because of inadequate facilities.
D.The inclusion won’t require additional competition space to be built.
8.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “rubberstamped”？
A.Approved. B.Canceled.
C.Submitted. D.Designed.

A walk through the galleries of Quebec’s Montreal Museum of Fine Arts(MMFA) places individuals face-to-face with some 43，000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics to Inuit sculpture.
While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience，a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe(开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.
“We know that art contributes to neural(神经的) activity，” said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil.“What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your well-being.”
Hélène Boyer，vice president of a Montreal-based medical association，explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin，a neurotransmitter(神经递质) known as the “happy chemical” which helps to lift the mood.
According to Boyer，the small increase in hormones associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise，making museum visits prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.
The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods.As Bondil notes，spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction.“What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain，” she says.“When you enter the museum，you escape from the speed of our daily life.”
“I am convinced that in the 21st century，culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century，” said Bondil.“Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century，sports were believed to do harm to the body.Just as doctors now prescribe exercise，they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.”
9.What does Hélène Boyer think of museum visits
A.They can cheer people up.
B.They can reduce physical activity.
C.They can slow down our life pace.
D.They can increase levels of art appreciation.
10.How do museum visits affect people
A.Stop them concentrating on pain.
B.Stop them focusing on traditional methods.
C.Encourage them not to be absent-minded.
D.Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.
11.What does the last paragraph suggest
A.Physical activity was popular in the 19th century.
B.Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.
C.Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.
D.Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.
12.What is the main idea of the text
A.Museum visits are ideal for the elderly.
B.The happy chemical helps to lift the mood.
C.Peaceful environment helps escape pain.
D.Cultural activities will promote health.

Can creativity be taught That’s a question without a simple yes or no answer.Creativity may not be able to be taught directly，but what you can get better at is frequently targeting at the circumstances of life which bring the greatest chances for true creative expression.__1__，but more like something which manifests(显现) itself inside those who learn to develop it and create the right conditions for it.

【语篇解读】 本文介绍Adam Braun建立了一个旨在帮助所有孩子接受教育的组织。
【答案】1.to make 考查非谓语动词。句意：它的目标是确保所有的孩子都有机会接受教育。此处用不定式作表语。
2.a 考查冠词。句意：Adam Braun在印度游览时，一个女孩在街上拦住了他，向他要钱。girl为可数名词单数，且此处是第一次提到，故应用不定冠词a。
3.most 考查副词的最高级。句意：他问她在世界上她最想要什么。根据句意及空后的“of all”可知，此处表示“最想要”，故应用副词的最高级形式。
4.reality 考查名词。句意：这个女孩从来没有上过学，这是全世界5 700万孩子的现状。此处定冠词“the”后应跟名词。reality意为“事实，现实”。
5.hers 考查代词。句意：毕业后，Adam Braun从来没有忘记这个女孩和她的问题。介词of后应跟名词性物主代词，表示“她的”，故此处应用hers。
6.to 考查介词。此处考查固定搭配have access to sth“有机会使用……”，故应用介词to。
7.where 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词other places，且在从句中作地点状语，故应用where。
8.actually 考查副词。句意：我们努力确保这个项目不只是孩子们漂亮的图片和视频，而是我们真正地看到课堂上令人惊叹的成果。修饰动词应用副词actually。
9.kids 考查名词的单复数。句意：Braun说，这就是在Pencils of Promise学校的孩子们从一个年级到下个年级进步迅速的原因。根据句意及谓语动词progress可知，此处应用kid的复数形式。
10.has helped 考查动词的时态。句意：从那时起，它已经帮助了非洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲的22 000多名孩子。根据时间状语“Since then”可知，此处应用现在完成时。

Going back to school can be an anxious time for many students.But one institution in Texas is doing its part to make sure middle schoolers are returning refreshed and inspired to learn.
Through a process called the “bathroom inspiration project，” teachers and administrators at Warren Middle School，spent their summer beautifying the school’s restrooms by painting motivational murals (壁画) on each of the stalls (小隔间).Forming messages like “Your mistakes don’t define you” and “Scatter (播撒) kindness，” the brightly colored words are exactly what a young student needs to see when having a rough day—or any school day for that matter.And now that classes are officially in session，people are already noticing a positive impact.
Since posting photos of upgrades to the school in July，Principal Joshua Garcia says that the alterations have aroused a great response.
“Students have been talking about the murals from the moment the pictures had been posted.Some even took the time to find a reason to come up to the campus to see the murals，” he says.“I think what makes this small little action so valuable is that it has set the tone for our campus.”
And not only is that important to students，parents，and fellow staff，but it is also vital for the school’s new principal，who is trying to gain the trust of the community during a time in which trust is so necessary for schools.
“Being new to the campus，I think the parents were able to see how much I value their children and have their best interest at heart，” Garcia continues.“I have had many parents tell me how they can just feel a difference in the campus climate and how much they are enjoying seeing their children wanting to come here.These murals have put trust back in the campus and its teachers，and by doing so we are able to build a culture in which our students want to be here and learn.”

Breakdancing is set to make its debut(首次亮相) as an Olympic sport at Paris 2024，Tony Estanguet，head of the Paris organizing committee，said on February 21.Skateboarding，sport climbing and surfing which have already been added to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics，have been invited to return in Paris.
Estanguet said the choices responded to a need to make the Olympics “more urban” and “more artistic”.“We have chosen to present the International Olympic Committee (IOC) with the four sports because they are creative，appealing to the youth and completely in line with our vision.They reflect perfectly Paris 2024’s identity.”
Breakdancing is an example of a sport “which can be played anywhere and anytime in urban and other environments.” It appeared at the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires in the form of head-to-head “battles”.In competitive breakdancing，breakers face off in “battles” against each other，either as individuals or teams.Breakdancers use a mix of physical and artistic skills combining elements from gymnastics or acrobatics(杂技).
The IOC had announced that the number of competitors at Paris 2024 would be restricted to 10，500，which limited the opportunity to add sports.But the organizers said the inclusion would not necessitate the construction of permanent facilities and would involve just 248 competitors，including 32 breakdancers.The surfing events are likely to be held in established surf center such as Biarritz or Lacanau in southwest France.
The inclusion still needs to be rubberstamped by the IOC，which is expected to decide on which sports to add in Paris after next year’s Tokyo Games.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。巴黎组委会主席托尼·埃斯坦盖2月21日表示，霹雳舞将在2024年巴黎奥运会上首次亮相。文章介绍了将霹雳舞等运动纳入奥运会的原因、意义等相关信息。

8.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “rubberstamped”？

A walk through the galleries of Quebec’s Montreal Museum of Fine Arts(MMFA) places individuals face-to-face with some 43，000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics to Inuit sculpture.
While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience，a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe(开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.
“We know that art contributes to neural(神经的) activity，” said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil.“What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your well-being.”
Hélène Boyer，vice president of a Montreal-based medical association，explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin，a neurotransmitter(神经递质) known as the “happy chemical” which helps to lift the mood.
According to Boyer，the small increase in hormones associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise，making museum visits prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.
The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods.As Bondil notes，spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction.“What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain，” she says.“When you enter the museum，you escape from the speed of our daily life.”
“I am convinced that in the 21st century，culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century，” said Bondil.“Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century，sports were believed to do harm to the body.Just as doctors now prescribe exercise，they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.”
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。参观博物馆不仅能让人们接受艺术的熏陶，还能舒缓心情、治疗疾病。
9.What does Hélène Boyer think of museum visits

D.They can increase levels of art appreciation.

10.How do museum visits affect people
A.Stop them concentrating on pain.
B.Stop them focusing on traditional methods.
C.Encourage them not to be absent-minded.
D.Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.
【答案】A 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain”可知，参观博物馆可以让人们逃避痛苦，故A项正确。

A.Physical activity was popular in the 19th century.
B.Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.
C.Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.
D.Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.
【答案】C 推理判断题。根据尾段最后两句“Some people would...to prescribe a visit to the MMFA”可知，在19世纪，体育运动被认为对身体有害；现在，就像医生给病人开运动处方一样，人们将能给病人开去蒙特利尔美术博物馆参观的处方。据此可推知，治疗疾病的方法随着时间的变化而改变，故C项正确。
12.What is the main idea of the text
A.Museum visits are ideal for the elderly.
B.The happy chemical helps to lift the mood.
C.Peaceful environment helps escape pain.
