◎单元重点语法—动词不定式作主语和表语
(一)动词不定式作主语
1. 构成与特点
动词不定式的基本形式为:to+动词原形(在某些情况下可以不带to)。
动词不定式没有人称和数的变化在,句中不可作谓语。动词不定式仍保留着动词的特点,可以有自己的宾语和状语,并有时态和语态变化。动词不定式具有名词、形容词、副词的特征,在句中可以作主语、宾语、表语、(后置)定语、宾语补足语和状语。动词不定式的各种时态、语态变化如下:
形式
语态
主动语态
被动语态
时态
一般式
to do
to be done
完成式
to have done
to have been done
进行式
to be doing
/
*完成进行式
to have been doing
/
一般式
动词不定式的一般式所表示的动作或状态,与句中谓语动词所表示的动作或状态是同时发生,或在之后发生(表将来)。当不定式的逻辑主语是不定式动作的承受者(即动宾关系)时,不定式一般要用被动式(to be done)。如:
He seemed to be tired.(同时)
We expect her to come.(之后)(=We expect that she will come.)
进行式
动词不定式的进行式表示不定式动作正在进行,或与谓语的动作同时发生。如:
They seemed to be talking about something important. “似乎正在讨论”
完成式
如果不定式所表示的动作或状态发生在谓语动词所表示的动作或状态之前,就用完成式;若是在此基础上表示被动含义,就用完成被动式(to have been done)。如:
He was said to have written a novel about the Long March.
又如:①她说过,她遇见了你,感到很高兴。(过去见过面)
She said she was happy to have met you.
②她说过, 她很高兴同你见面。(将要见面或见面时就感到高兴)
She said she was happy to meet you.
用法
作主语
如:例1 To do the job well is not easy. 要把这项工作做好并不容易。(表示具体的情况)
=It is not easy (for us) to do the job well.
例2 To see is to believe. 眼见为实。
例3 To give is better than to receive. 奉献比索取好。
注意 ①由以上例句可知,动词不定式作主语时,一般表示具体的或一次性动作。作主语的不定式有时态和语态的变化,且谓语动词常用单数。
提醒 很多情况下,作主语的动词不定式都可以用动名词替代,但表示某些具体情况,或表示强烈的对比,或在某些固定说法中时,通常不用动名词替代,如例2和例3。
②不定式或不定式短语作主语时,常用it作形式主语,而把真正的主语即不定式放在后面,构成以下结构:
(1)It is/was + adj. + (of/for sb.不定式的逻辑主语) + to do ...
(2)It is/was + a/an+名词 + (for sb.) + to do ...
如:It is/was + a pity/a shame遗憾,她失掉比赛/a pleasure同你一起工作/one’s duty/an honor/… + (for sb.) + to do ...
(3)It takes/took (sb.) + time/courage/patience/…抽象名词 + to do ...
(4)It makes/made sb. + adj. + to do ...
如:It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to rear people. [谚] 十年树木,百年树人。
It made me relaxed to know that I have passed the exam. 知道我通过了考试,我感到轻松无比。
注意 ③反射不定式
如:English is hard to learn. →To learn English is hard.→It is hard to learn English.
此句为“主系表”结构+不定式结构构成,不定式to learn的逻辑宾语是句子的主语English(反射到句子主语上),此时,不定式:
(1)不定式要有及物性(to+vt.或to+vi.+介);
(2)用主动形式;
(3)不定式后不再跟宾语。
(一)动词不定式作表语
不定式作表语,可以说明主语的具体内容,还可以表示目的、结果、安排、命令、决定、劝告、意愿等,其主语通常为task, aim, purpose, wish, hope, dream, duty, job, plan, choice, intention, decision, problem等名词,或是what引导的名词性从句。不定式作表语时,主语和表语有时可以调换位置,其意思不变。如:
A lawyer’s duty is to act in the best interest of his clients. 律师的职责就是代表客户的最大利益行事。
The important thing is to save lives. 救人要紧。
My wish is to write good book for children. 我的愿望是为孩子们写一本好书。

Amazing Scientists
Who Happen to Be Teenagers
We’ve got a list of teen scientists from a variety of fields.
Jack Andraka
Jack Andraka created a biosensor(生物传感器) for cancer that he says is 168 times faster, 26, 667 times less expensive and 400 times more sensitive than technology nowadays.
He’s the youngest person to have spoken in front of the Royal Society of Medicine.
Taylor Wilson
Taylor Wilson was the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion (核聚变). He was inspired by The Radioactive Boy Scout, a novel in which a kid tries and fails to build a nuclear reactor.
Taylor thought he could do better. Long story short, he wanted to build a small nuclear reactor. And he did it at the age of fourteen. He received a Thiel Fellowship, which gave him $100,000 to work on his own research.
Sara Volz
Sara Volz performed experiments in which she grew algae(藻类) based on their oil output for the purpose of growing them as biofuel(生物燃料). This research is especially important as the world continues to search for a way to lessen our dependence on non-renewable energy. She won the top prize of $100,000 in the Intel Science Talent Search.
Daniel Burd
Plastic(塑料) usually takes thousands of years to decompose(降解), but this high school student Daniel Burd managed to do it in three months.
In an experiment, he mixed plastic bags and a special kind of dirt together, and found that they did decompose faster. He then performed tests to find the bacteria (细菌) responsible for decomposing the plastics.
His solution only produces water and small amounts of carbon dioxide. He says it could easily be used elsewhere.
56. Who designed a medical instrument?
A. Sara Volz B. Daniel Burd C. Jack Andraka D. Taylor Wilson
57. What excited Taylor Wilson’s interest in his invention?
A. A novel by a kid. B. Plastic pollution. C. Energy shortage. D. A story book.

Art and science may seem like polar opposites (截然相反的两端). One is about the creative flow of ideas, and the other cold, hard data — or so some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Both require a lot of creativity. People also use both to better understand the world around them. Now, a study finds art can also help students remember better what they have learned in science class.
Mariale Hardiman is an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Back when she was a school principal, she had noticed that students who used art in the classroom were more engaged(参与其中的). They might listen more carefully, ask more questions and volunteer more ideas. What’s more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their lessons had involved art. To test whether and how well art might really improve learning, she teamed up with other researchers and six local schools to do an experiment.
The researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They took the traditional science lessons and created art-focused versions(版本) of them. In a traditional science classroom, for example, students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused class, they might sing or rap the information instead.
The team then randomly assigned(随机分配) each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using one of those approaches for the entire unit — about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, researchers could see how students did in both types of classes. After each phase of the experiment, students took tests. They took a third one 10 weeks later. This one measured how well they still remembered what they had learned earlier.
Students who started off in regular classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. And those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they moved back to a regular science class. “These students appeared to use some of the art techniques after moving back to a traditional class,” says Hardiman. “Some continued to sketch(画草图) or sing to help them remember information,” she notes. “This suggests that art may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.”
In some cases, students actually performed better in the third test than in those taken earlier. Classroom teachers reported that “many students continued to sing the songs or raps that they learned after finishing the unit”. “The more we hear something, the better we remember,” Hardiman notes.
Everyone benefits from art, Hardiman agrees. “All students should learn how to use art as an instructional tool to promote learning.”
59. How does the first paragraph develop?
A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By following space order. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
60. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Students take an active part when their class involves art.
B. Students are more creative in art class than in science class.
C. Students’ learning ability depends greatly on class involvement.
D. Students remember things for a longer time if using art in class.
61. What were students asked to do during experiment?
A. Take a test before the experiment.
B. Choose whatever class topic they liked.
C. Take a test two and a half months after the course.
D. Choose between a traditional class and an art-focused one.
62. What does the study mainly suggest?
A. It is not easy to use art in science class.
B. Science contributes to creative thinking.
C. Art can make science easier to learn.
D. Art-focused classes encourage teamwork.

A former homeless man has been named London’s top bus driver, after spending only 16 months on the job. His reputation(名声) climbed to the top because he never stops smiling.
Pat Lawson is over the moon about his new title. The 50-year-old says his cheerfulness was reborn when he finally managed to land on his feet following a “dark cycle” of homelessness and prison time.
The cycle continued until the father-of- three suffered an unprovoked(无端的) attack 16 years ago that left him in the hospital fighting for his life.
“I thought I was going to die and I started thinking of my children. I knew it was life or death. I kept thinking, how did I end up in this situation?” says Lawson. “And that’s when I said, I need help. I wanted to climb out of the gutter.”
Lawson was given the chance to turn his life around when he crossed paths with volunteers from the Single Homeless Project (SHP). The charity retrained Lawson as a bus driver, and he says that he fell in love with the job at once.
“I’ll say good morning to every single passenger and give them a big smile,” Lawson said. “I was told it wouldn’t last long but passengers told me to keep on going.”
From searching London’s streets for somewhere to sleep, Lawson can now be found cheerily greeting passengers on the number 26 bus. Since starting the job in March 2017, he has won two awards and received more than 100 acknowledgments(感谢) from members of the public.

If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out. 41 Working out in the morning provides many other benefits along with being physically fit.
Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you for the day. 42
Your metabolism(新陈代谢) gets a head start. 43 If you work out in the mornings, then you will be getting the calorie burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep.
44 Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise makes you feel energetic, so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited.
45 If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day. Who would want to damage their good workout by eating junk food? You will want to continue to focus on positive choices.
There are a lot of benefits to working out, especially in the mornings. Set your alarm clock an hour early and push yourself to work out! You will feel energetic all day long.
A. You will stick to your diet.
B. Your quality of sleep improves.
C. You prefer healthy food to fast food.
D. There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.
