to-infinitive, -ing and -ed as predicative
Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
1
a Every artist′s wish is to create something that expresses an idea.
b He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate”.
c Yang Liping′s passion is dancing.
1 Apart from nouns and adjectives,what other word forms can serve as predicative
To-infinitive,-ing and -ed.
2 Can “interested” in sentence (b) be replaced by “interesting” Why or why not
No. Because the subject of “interested,usually is a person,while the subject of “interesting” is often an object. And in this sentence,the subject is“He”—a person.
Now look for more sentences with these structures in the reading passage,and summarise their uses in your ownwords.
Read the passage and underline the predicatives.
2
One of my biggest dreams had always been to see the painting Girl with a Pearl Earring ,by the Dutch artist,Vermeer. It wasn′t until we went on a trip to The Hague last year that this dream came true! There were lots of people waiting to enter the Mauritshuis.
Although my legs were tired from walking around the city,l was determined to seethe painting,which is often called the“Mona Lisa of the North”. Nobody is sure of the identity of the girl in it. And there she was. It was amazing to be standing in front of her at last! The girl is looking over her shoulder.
Her eyes are wide and her mouth is parted,just as if she were about to speak. I would love to know what she was going to say!
Complete the passage with the correct form of the verbs in brackets.

Amy @amyheart 9 Nov
What an exhibition! There are many well-known artists exhibiting their awe-inspiring works. I′m totally amazed by Storm. I think the artist got that idea from trees and fallen leaves after a storm.
Richard @richard77 9 Nov
Indeed the exhibition is worth visiting,despite the over-priced tickets. But personally. I think the inspiration for Storm might be the overwhelming amount of information in the digital age. The highly-skilled artist is voicing her attitude through the natura form of a storm.
Replying to @amyheart
Meimei @meimei01 8 Nov
Check out the ground-breaking installations. The one named Superhighway is breathtaking! It is absolutely astonishing to see a superhighway world map made entirely of wires and cables. Like Storm,I think the artist is trying to state his attitude towards the digital age.

Since the earliest cave paintings,humans have been exhibiting art on walls. There has always been a connection between artists and their works,their points of view,and the viewers. Bringing artworks together into an exhibition enables all of us to experience the works, to respond to,to enjoy and to connect with them.
Art exhibitions can have many themes,such as a historical period,a location or a trend. Of them all,one everlasting source of inspiration is war and peace. Countless artists have been protesting wars and promoting peace via their works,including Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and Chinese artist Feng Zikai,to name just a couple.

1. 不定式作表语一般表示具体的动作,特别是表示将来的动作。

我的建议是立刻开始干。
2. 如果主语是不定式(表示条件),表语也应用不定式(表示结果)。
Eg. To see is to believe.
百闻不如一见。
3. 如果主语是以aim,duty,hope,idea,happiness,job,plan,problem,purpose,thing,wish 等为中心词的名词词组,或以 what 引导的名词性分句表示,作表语的不定式对主语起补充说明作用。
【名师点睛】
如果主语部分包含动词 do,did,does,done,作表语的不定式可省略 to。
Eg. His wish is to buy a luxurious car in the near future.
他的愿望是在不久的将来买一辆豪华轿车。

Eg. His victory in the final was no more convincing than I had expected.
他在决赛中的胜利没有我想象的那么令人信服。
三、过去分词作表语
过去分词在句中作表语多表示主语所处的状态或是主语的心理,这时过去分词有些已经转化成了形容词。
Eg. The door remained locked. 门仍然锁着。
Everyone got excited at the news.
听到这个消息每个人都感到兴奋。
Don′t touch the glass because it is broken.
不要碰那个杯子因为它是破的。
【名师点睛】

Eg. The library is now closed.
现在图书馆关门了。(过去分词作表语)
The cup was broken by my little sister yesterday.
茶杯是我小妹昨天打碎的。(是被动语态,表示动作)
四、动词 –ing 形式作表语与过去分词作表语的区别
1. 动词 –ing 形式作表语,说明主语的性质或特征,意为“令人……的”,有主动意思。
如:exciting,moving,amusing,astonishing,frightening,interesting 等。
2. 过去分词作表语多表示主语所处的状态,意为“感到……的”,有被动的意思。
如:upset,disappointed,encouraged,amused,astonished,hurt,frightened,amazed,excited,experienced,interested,qualified,pleased,puzzled 等。
