否定形式是"not to+动词原形”。
Eg:?Jacks teacher?asked him to?tum?off the?lights?after?class.
You’d better finish your work today.
? She?pretended?not to see me when I passed?by.
2.不定式的句法功能
不定式具有名词,形容词,副词的特征,在句中作主语、宾语、表语、补足语、定语和状语等。
(1)不定式作主语
不定式作主语相当于名词或代词的作用。用作主语的动词不定式通常表示一个具体的,特定行为,其谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。不定式作主语通常用作形式主语,而将不定式置于句末。
Eg: To learn English well is very difficult. = It is difficult?to?learn?Chinese?well.
To speak to old people like that is impolite. = .
注意:
It is very important for us to learn English well.
It is kind of you to help me.
(2)不定式作表语
不定式可以跟在系动词后作表语,表示主语的具体内容、目的等。不定式作表语通常可以跟主语进行位置互换。
Eg:?My?job is to?keep?the?goal.
His?dream?is?to?be?a?doctor.
(3)不定式作宾语
A.作动词的宾语:不定式一般作动词的宾语。如果作宾语的不定式有宾语补足语时,常用it作形式展语,而将真正的宾语后置。
Eg: I happen to?know?the?answer?to?your?question.
Would?you?like?to?see?a?film?this?evening?
I found?it?not?very?easy?to?learn?to?ride?a?bike.
I think it?interesting?to?play?football?while?it?is?snowing?hard.
B.作介词的宾语:不定式一般不直接作介词的宾语,而是需要加上疑问词。
Eg: We are talking about how to solve the problem.
I am interested in what to do.
(4)不定式作宾语补足语
①大多数及物动词后用带to的不定式作宾语补足语。
Eg:?Lucy?asked?him?to?turn?down?the?radio.
Mr.?White?persuaded?Tom?not?to?smoke?any?more.
②使役动词和感官动词用于主动语态时,作宾语补足语的不定式省略to;但当这些词用于被动语态时,to不能省略(let除外)。
Eg: I heard her sing the new song.
The peaceful music in the CD made the students feel relax.
My friend was made to work for the whole night by the boss.
The children were seen to run down the street.
(5)不定式作定语
不定式作定语要放在被修饰的词的后面。
Eg: I have much homework (to do) today.
(6)不定式作状语
①不定式作状语主要表示目的原因结果等。
表示目的时常位于句首,表示原因和结果时常位于句尾。
逻辑主语和句子主语一致。
Eg:?To?arrive?there?on?time,?I?got?up?one?hour?earlier?than?usual.
In?ancient?China,?food?was?stored?with?ice?to?keep?it?fresh.
They?jumped?with?joy?to?hear?the?news.
He woke up?only?to?find?everybody?gone.
②可在作目的状语的不定式前加上in?order或so as以突出或强调的。但so as to do不能置于句首。在作结果状语的不定式前加上only表示意料之外的结果。
Eg: In order?to keep warm,?we?shut?all?the?windows.
?John?came?home?only?to?find?that?somebody?had?forced?his?door open.
3.“疑问词+不定式”结构
who(m),?what,?which等疑问代词和when,?where,?how等疑问副词放在不定式前,便构成了“疑
问词+不定式”当于一个名词,常在句中作主语、表语、宾语(尤其是介词后的宾语等)。
Eg: How?to?solve?the?problem?is?very important.
The?question is who?to?turn?to.
The?teacher?is?telling?the?students?what?to do.
My?teacher?gave me?lots?of advice?on?how?to?make?friends.
4.不定式符号to的省略
(1)某些固定结构或者固定搭配中需要省略不定式符号to。
??Eg:?You?'d?better?choose?the?activities?which?interest?you.
?? Why?not?go shopping?with?me??
(2)跟在表示“除....之.外”意义的but,?except之后的不定式,若but, except之前有动词do的任何形式时,通常省略不定式符号to。
Eg:?My?mother?could?do?nothing?but?wait?for?the?doctor?to?arrive.
She?can?do?everything?except?cook.
动词help后接不定式作宾语或宾语补足语,to可有可无,但是当主语是表示物的名词或主语不能发出不定式所表示的动作时,需要加上to。
Eg: Will you?help?me?(to)?find?my?pen?
Your rich experience will help you to find a?good?job.

You speak, write a letter, or make a telephone call. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”. Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out.
Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, newspaper, TV and radios and films all help us to communicate with each other. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.
( )1. Can we communicate with each other without words?
A. Yes, sometimes we can. B. No, we can’t.
C. It’s impossible. D. It is not mentioned(提到)in this article.
( )2. When we see somebody smile, he must be feeling .

Eg: It’s fun playing with children.
2.作宾语。作动词和介词的宾语。

二、阅读理解。
How often do you talk with people and notice that their words say one thing while their action says another? A facial expression, crossed arms or the way they behave can show what is really in their mind. This is body language, and we must teach our children to understand and use it.
We often teach children to be thoughtful when they speak and write, and we also need to teach them to be thoughtful in their body language. Giving examples is one of the ways to do that. Help children understand that people use body language most of the time in their life. Where they're looking when they speak, how they turn their bodies, how they place their arms and so on can give others important information.
There will be times that people want and need to use their body language. In school or job situations, understanding body language can make a difference. And using body language in other situations is also helpful to personal safety and sometimes stops misunderstandings(误会).
( )1. The first paragraph tells us that ________.
A. it's important to teach children body language
B. children often use body language
C. a facial expression is good for children
D. crossed arms are not good for children

Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there’s too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you to read more in less time. H ere are two skills that I think are very good.
Preview ---- if it’s long and hard. Previewing is very useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like magazine articles and science reports.
Here is how to preview.
●Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs (段落) carefully.
●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
Previewing doesn’t give you all the details. It tells you not to spend time on things you don’t really want or need to read.
Skim----if it’s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading, like popular magazines or the sports of your daily paper.
Here’s how to skim.
●Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.
●Pick up only a few key words in each line.
Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but perhaps we’ll get the same idea of what it’s all about.
( )1.How many skills are talked about in this passage?
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
( )2.What does the underlined word “ preview” mean in Chinese?
A.精读 B.默读 C.预习 D. 略读
( )3.What should we do when we read a science report?
A. Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
B. Spend a lot of time reading the details.
C. Read the first and the last sentences of each paragraph.
D. Pick up only a few key words in each line.
( )4.What should we not do when we read the news about sports events in a daily paper according to the passage?
A. Get our eyes to move fast.
B. Read the last two paragraphs carefully.
C. Sweep our eyes across each line.
D. Pick up only a few key words in each line.
( )5.What is the best title for this passage?
A. Why we should read B. What to read
C. When to read D. How to read faster

1970 was World Conservation(保护)Year. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world was in danger. They hoped something could be done.
Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1,300 kinds of plants, trees and flowers in Holland(荷兰),but now only 866 are left. The others have been destroyed(毁灭)by modern people and their science. We are polluting earth, air, water and everything around us. We can’t live without these things. If things go on like this, we shall destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future? Perhaps it’s more important to ask “What must we do?” More and more young people have known this. Many of them are helping to save our earth. For example, they plant trees. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometres of their river. Young people may hear about conversation through a song called “No one’s going to change our world”. It was made by Cliff Gichard and other singers.

One day a man saw an old lady standing by her expensive car, clearly in need of help. So he stopped his old truck and got out. Although he was smiling, the old lady was worried. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe.
The man could see that she was frightened, so in his friendliest voice he said, “I’m here to help you, madam. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.” Bryan quickly fixed the car and the lady thanked him. Then she asked how much she should pay him.
But Bryan wanted no money. He was just giving a hand to someone in trouble. This was normal for him. He said, “If you really want to repay me, next time you see someone in need, help them and think of me.”
After saying goodbye, the lady continued down the road until she reached a small café where she decided to stop for something to eat. As the pretty waitress took her order, the lady noticed she was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕的). Although the waitress looked tired she was very kind. As the lady was going to pay the $10 bill she remembered Bryan’s words.
She paid with a hundred-dollar bill. But when the waitress returned with the change the lady was gone. On the table she saw a small note. There were tears in her eyes when she read it: “Somebody once helped me the way I’m helping you. If you want to pay me back, continue being kind to others.” Under the note were nine more $100 bills.

7.多个形容词作定语时,通常按“性质→大小(长短、高低、形状等)→年龄/新旧→颜色→国籍(地区、出处等)→材料”的顺序排列。如:a beautiful tall building一座漂亮而高大的建筑物;a large yellow Chinese coat一件黄色的中国式大衣
(二)副词
1.副词的分类
注意:
地点副词、时间副词和方式副词放在句尾,它们同时出现时的顺序是:方式副词→地点副词→时间副词。如:
The students are doing the experiments carefully in the lab now.
Many people take exercise happily on the square every morning.
2.规则变化的形容词和副词的比较级和最高级
注意:
①使用比较级时,在对比中应该是同类进行对比。如:
“我的英语不如你的好”应译成“My English is not as / so good as yours.”,而不能译成“My English is not as good as you.”。因为此句中比较的对象是English,而不是you,所以要把you改成yours (=your English)。
②使用比较级时,切忌一方包含另一方,从而造成自身与自身的比较。如:
“她比她班上任何同学学习都努力”应译成“She studies harder than any other student in her class.”,而不能译成“She studies harder than any student in her class.”。any student in her class包括she,使用了other才能将其排除。
3.不规则变化的形容词和副词的比较级和最高级
4.形容词、副词的比较级和最高级的用法
句型 意义 例句
as+形容词/副词原级+as 两者比较,程度相同。“as…as”结构前可以带表示程度的状语,像quite,almost,half,twice,nearly等。 This book is almost / nearly as thick as that one. His ability is not half as high as yours.
如果形容词修饰单数可数名词,应用as+形容词/副词原级+a(n)+可数名词单数形式+as。 Tom is as good a person as his uncle. This is just as good an example as the other one.
如果指同一个人或物,应译为“不但……而且……”。 Li Mei is as beautiful as she is clever.
not as / so+形容词/副词原级+as 两者相比,一方不及另一方。 This village isn’t as / so big as that one. I didn’t do my homework as carefully as you.
形容词/副词比较级+than 两者进行比较。 The sun is bigger than the earth. She usually gets up earlier than others.
the+比较级,the+比较级 意为“越……,越……”,如果“the+比较级”修饰名词作定语,名词要紧跟在比较级之后。 The busier the old man is, the happier he feels. The more, the better. The more money he gets, the more he wants.
比较级+and+比较级 意为“越来越……”,多音节的用more and more+形容词或副词原级。 She is growing fatter and fatter. Our country is becoming more and more beautiful.
倍数+as… as … 意为“是……的……倍”。 The city is three times as big as mine.
具体数字、实物、倍数等+比较级+than 形容词与具体倍数等的比较。 He is a head taller than I. This city is three times larger than that one.

Dear Bill,
Long time no see! I just came back to Taipei from Europe. Twenty hours on the plane really made me tired. But I’d like to write to you as soon as I arrived at my flat.
I knew about the terrible typhoon from the TV news early this morning . On TV, I saw many houses in your country were damaged late last night. Many people became homeless. I was feeling worried about you until I knew your town were far from the worst hit areas. And now I am a bit restful now.
The weather in the mountains of Europe was very different from that in Taiwan. It was just early October, but it started to snow. Still, my trip to Europe was great fun. Before I went there, I was worried about the language instead of the weather. You know I can’t speak German or French. But I was surprised to find that English was still useful there! I talked to people without any problems, and I even made some new friends there!
I’m going to see you next summer holiday. And I hope we can have a longer happy get-together then.

A. Europe B. Taipei C. Beijing D. France

A billionaire (亿万富翁) called Elon Musk has reported his great plan: take 80,000 brave people to Mars and living there.
He said the plan would start small and the first 10 people would be taken there in a specially-made rocket (特制的火箭).
Musk was the first businessman (商人) to travel in space this spring. Last week, he won a prize in London. "At Mars, you'll start a new world," He talked about his great plan. “The ticket price is $500, 000 each. Some people from rich countries could raise enough money to make the trip."
Of course, these passengers would be sent to work rather than go there on vacation. They would have to carry some equipment to build strong houses for people. There would be some CO2 in the houses which would be covered with a layer (层) of water to serve as protection from the sun. With the CO2, crops would be able to grow at Mars. Also, the equipment could produce O2 for people to breathe to live.
Musk believed one person out of every 100,000 people would be interested in the journey. By the time his plan became true, there would be 8 billion people on Earth.
( )1.How many people would be sent to Mars at the beginning of the plan?
A. 10. B. 80,000. C. 100,000. D. 50,000.
( )2.Which of the following can help crops grow at Mars?
A. O2. B. CO2. C. Water. D. The sun.
( )3.The underlined word "equipment" means “_________” in Chinese.
A. 衣物 B. 设备 C. 包裹 D. 技术
( )4. How might Musk feel about his plan to Mars?
A. Bored. B. Disappointed. C. Worried. D. Pleased.
( )5. According to the passage, we know _________.
A. Musk would fly to Mars by rocket alone.
B. Some rich people may be interested in the journey.
C. O2, CO2 and water can be easily found at Mars by passengers.
D. The plan to Mars was denied by both of the poor and the rich.
B
Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between the ticket office and us. This family made a big impression on me.
There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children talked excitedly about the clowns. It was clearly a very important day out for them. The father and mother seemed happy as they could be.
The tickets lady asked how many tickets the father wanted, he proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady told him the price.
The man’s wife lowered her head. There was no longer a smile on the man’s face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?”
The ticket lady again told him the price.
The man obviously didn’t have enough money. But how could he tell his kids the bad news?
Seeing what was happening, my dad took a $20 note from his pocket and dropped in on the ground. (We were not rich ourselves at all!) He then tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, you dropped this.”
The man understood my father was helping him. He picked up the money, looked straight into my dad’s eyes, and in tears replied. “Thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
Although we did not go to the circus that night, we didn’t go without.
( )1.Why does the writer say “Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean” ( Paragraph 2)?
A. To show the children were well looked after.
B. To show cheap clothes could be popular.
C. To show how hard the mother worked.
D. To show how rich the family were.
( )2.Why was the poor man unhappy after he spoke with the ticket lady?
A. He had lost his money. B. His children were noisy.
C. The tickets were sold out. D. The tickets were too expensive.
( )3.Who did the $20 note belong to?
A. The poor man . B. The writer’s father.
C. The poor man’s wife. D. The ticket lady.
( )4.Why was the poor man in tears at the end of the story?
A. He found the money he lost. B. He wanted others to help him.
C. He made his children unhappy. D. He was thankful for the kindness.
