[谨记规则]
1.动词不定式作定语
动词不定式作定语可表示还未发生的动作,通常要放在被修饰的词后面。不定式作定语时,与前面被修饰的名词之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系或动宾关系。
(1) 当名词被the first, the last, the only等序数词以及形容词最高级修饰时,常用不定式作后置定语,而不管动作是否已完成。
(2) 当修饰的名词是ability, ambition, attempt, chance, courage, desire, decision, effort, failure, moment, promise, right, time, wish ...(一些表示企图、努力、愿望、打算、能力等意义的抽象名词)时常用不定式作后置定语。
(3) 在there be句型中,作主语的名词后可接动词不定式作定语,不定式用主动式或被动式均可。在there be句型中,如果动词不定式有逻辑主语,则动词不定式只能用主动形式。
(4) something, nothing, anything 等不定代词后常用动词不定式作定语。  
(5) 如果动词不定式中的动词是不及物动词或虽然是及物动词但不能与被修饰词之间构成动宾关系,则动词后面必须加上相应的介词。
2.动词不定式作状语
(1)动词不定式作目的状语
动词不定式作目的状语时可位于句首或句末,句首常用逗号隔开,常用结构有in order to 和 so as to,但so as to不可位于句首。
(2)动词不定式作结果状语
动词不定式作结果状语时往往含有“令人意想不到”的意思,其中“使人不愉快的结果”较为常见。动词不定式前有时可以加上only或 but only,以加强语气。
[名师点津]
现在分词(短语)作结果状语多表示自然而然的结果,即句子谓语和结果状语之间有直接的因果关系。
(3)动词不定式作原因状语
动词不定式常跟在一些形容词之后说明产生某种情绪的原因。常见的形容词有happy, lucky,surprised,sorry, glad, delighted, anxious, interested, worried等。

2020·全国卷Ⅰ·阅读理解D篇
The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have taken it a step further — changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse, even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. “We're thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,” explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow (发光) in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano's team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light, about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by, is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.
In the future, the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant's lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off “switch” where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.
Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source (电源) — such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway — a lot of energy is lost during transmission (传输). Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.

2.What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineers
A.To detect plants' lack of water.
B.To change compositions of plants.
C.To make the life of plants longer.
D.To test chemicals in plants.
答案:A 
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water”可知,A选项正确。
3.What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future
A.They will speed up energy production.
B.They may transmit electricity to the home.
C.They might help reduce energy consumption.
D.They could take the place of power plants.
答案:C 
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容尤其是最后一句“Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.”可推知,在未来,发光植物可能有助于减少能源消耗。
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Can we grow more glowing plants
B.How do we live with glowing plants
C.Could glowing plants replace lamps
D.How are glowing plants made pollution-free
答案:C 
解析:标题归纳题。文章第一段点明了植物的积极作用;第二段是有关植物的其他方面的功能的研究;第三段说明最新的研究表明植物可以发光;第四段是有关将来要开发的一种用在植物叶子上的技术及研究植物发光是否可以“打开”和“关上”;第五段表述能量在传输中损失很多,或许发光植物可以解决这一问题。故C选项(发光的植物能代替路灯吗?)最能凸显本文主题。
