句式精讲
1. The cheapest way to get there is by coach.
句中动词不定式to get there作定语，修饰the cheapest way。例如：
We must find a person to do the work. 我们必须找个人做这项工作。
【拓展】
(1) 类似结构，在英语中被限定词（如only; last; next等）以及序数词（first; second…）或形容词最高级所修饰的名词，后常接不定式。例如：
She is the only one to come to my party. 她是唯一一个来参加我的聚会的人。
(2) 动词不定式作定语时，总是后置，不定式与其所修饰的词构成逻辑上的动宾关系，而该不定式为不及物动词时，其后须加上适当的介词，构成及物动词短语。 例如：
I have many letters to write. 我有许多信要写。
I am looking for a room to live in. 我正在找一间屋子住。
I need a piece of paper to write on. 我需要一张写字用的纸。
There is nothing to worry about. 没什么可担心的。
2. It is better to go to Shanghai first…
本句用了“It is/was + adj. + to do sth.”的结构，It is/was + adj. + to do sth.意为“做某事是……的”，to do sth.为句子的真正的主语，而it为形式主语，形式主语不能用别的词来代替，句中可在形容词后加for sb.，意为“对于某人来说，做某事是……的”。例如：
It’s important for us to learn a foreign language. 对我们来说，学习一门外语是相当重要的。
It’s necessary for us to eat more fruit and vegetables. 对我们来说，多吃蔬菜和水果是必要的。
【拓展】
这个句型中的for sb.有时也可以用of sb. 二者意义有区别：
(1) 在It’s + adj. + for sb. to do sth. 中，for sb.意为“对某人来说”，句中的形容词是用来说明to do sth.的，形式主语只能用it。例如：
It’s necessary for the students to do some housework. 对于学生们来说，做些家务是十分必要的。
(2) 在It’s + adj. + of sb. to do sth. 中of sb. 意为“某人……”，句中形容词可与逻辑主语sb. 构成系表结构，即形容词是用来说明或形容sb.（某人）的。例如：
It’s very kind of you to help us. 你能帮助我们真是太好了。
3. ...but remember to be careful all the time.
(1) 本句中的remember是及物动词，意为“记得，记住”，与forget意思相反。例如：
I remembered his name. 我记得他的名字。
(2) remember后可接动词不定式，构成remember to do sth.结构；也可接动名词，构成remember doing sth.的结构，但二者意义有区别：
remember to do sth.表示“记得要做某事”，事情还没有做；remember doing sth.表示“记得曾经做过某事”，事情已经做过了。例如：
Remember to turn off the light when you leave. 离开时记得关灯。
He remembered going to Shanghai with his parents when he was five years old.
他记得五岁时曾经和父母去过上海。
4. How long does the journey take and what is the best way to travel?
本句中take表示“花费”，take表示花费时，常用于 “It takes sb. some time to do sth.”的句型中，意为“做某事需要花费某人多长时间”。it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式to do sth.，对时间提问时用How long does … take? 例如：
It took me half an hour to finish the work. 完成这项工作花了我半小时。
How long does it take you from your home to school? 从学校到你家要花多长时间？
【拓展】
表示“花费”的spend、take、cost和pay的辨析：
词语
主语
结构
spend
人(sb.)
sb. spends + 时间或金钱+ (in) doing sth. /on sth.
take
it作形式主语
It takes sb. some time to do sth.(真正主语)
pay
人(sb.)
sb. pays + 金钱+ for sth.
cost
sth.(物)
sth. costs sb. + 金钱
例如：
I spent 3 hours (in) doing /on my homework yesterday. 昨天我花了三个小时做作业。
It took me four hours to go to Wuhan by bus. 乘公共汽车去武汉花了我四个小时。
I paid six yuan for the pen. 我花了六元钱买这支笔。
My English book cost me five yuan. 我的英语书花了我五元钱。
5. The more information, the better.
本句意为“信息越多，就越好”，属于“the + 比较级…the + 比较级”句型。例如：
The more you know him, the more you will love him. 你对他了解得越多，你将会越喜欢他。
The more careful you are, the fewer mistakes you will make. 你越细心，你犯的错误将越少。
【拓展】
and连接同一个形容词或副词的比较级，表示“越来越……”。当形容词或副词是多音节或部分双音节的词时，则用more and more + 形容词/副词原级。例如：
It’s getting warmer and warmer in spring. 春天天气变得越来越暖和。
We want to make our country more and more beautiful. 我想让我们的国家变得越来越美丽。
The car ran more and more slowly. 汽车跑地越来越慢。

（2019年泰安市中考）

Bikes are popular in the Dutch(荷兰). In fact, nearly half of all travel in the Dutch is by bike. Now, one Dutch bike designer(设计师), Thomas, has taken the country’s interest in bikes by making a school bus bike.
The big bike has eight sets of pedals(踏板) for kids, a driver seat for an adult, and three other seats, comfortably letting little kids for their trip to and from school. The bike even has a motor, which can help with high hills or at times when few kids on it.
So far, Thomas tells Fast Company, he’s sold 25 school-bikes, at a price of $ 25,000 each—less than it would cost to buy a traditional school bus with the same number of seats. Along with the traditional color, the bikes, are colored yellow so that they can be seen easily.
Thomas says he’s sold school bus bikes to neighboring countries such as Belgium, England and Germany, but so far, the school bus bike hasn’t been sold in the United States. If the U.S. agrees to buy this kind of school bus bike, it could do a lot of good to improve exercise for a young age and help them keep healthy.
11. How do people in the Dutch usually go to work?
A. By car. B. By bus. C. By bike. D. On foot.
12. How many seats does the school bus bike have?
