Unit 4 Period 2 Grammar & Vocabulary 课 堂 学 习 to-infinitive, -ing and -ed as predicative 1 Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions. 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? 2 Can “interested” in sentence (b) be replaced by “interesting”? Why or why not? Apart from nouns and adjectives, to-infinitive, -ing and -ed can serve as predicative. No, it can’t. Because “interested” usually indicates a person’s interest in something while “interesting” usually indicates something making a person interested. In sentence (b), the subject is “he”, which refers to a person. Now look for more sentences with these structures in the reading passage, and summarise their uses in your own words. 1 One way for him to find inspiration is turning to his children’s toys. 2 He is most widely known for composing music for the film... 3 To listen to Tan’s music is to experience a mix of Chinese musical traditions and Western influences. 【语法讲解】 一、to-infinitive形式作表语 动词不定式形式作表语时表示的动作往往是具体的、一次性的动作，特别是将来的动作。通常主语是表示“目的，愿望，梦想，需求”等的名词或what引导的主语从句。例如：My purpose is to climb to the top of the snow mountain. (我的目标就是要爬到雪山的顶部。) 如果主语是主语从句，且该句中末尾是to do，则表语中的to可以省略。例如： a. What I want to do is (to) get some fresh water. (我要做的事就是弄些淡水来。） b. What I need is to make them happy, not tired. (我需要的是让他们快乐，而不是疲劳。） 二、-ing形式作表语 动词-ing形式作表语时表示一般性、习惯性的动作或抽象的动作，大部分时候主语与表语可以互换。例如： The real question is getting to know the needs of the students. =Getting to know the needs of the students is the real question. (真正的问题是了解学生的需求。） 动词-ing形式作表语还可以表示主语具有的特征和属性。 例如：The news is really exciting. (这个消息真令人振奋。) 三、-ed形式作表语 动词-ed形式作表语时表示主语（人和事物）的被动关系或存在状态或情感情绪等。例如： a. The cups were broken by the waitress. (杯子被服务员打碎了。) (broken表示被动关系) b. The
