三、Grammar
【语法】A. 用动词不定式表目的状语。
Eg: I often go to the market to watch the birds.
I made a kite to play with my son. = I made a kite in order to play with my son.
【语法】B、用动词不定式作宾语补足语。 【结构: 动词 + 宾语 + 动词不定式(作宾补)】
(1)带to的动词不定式作宾语补足语的动词主要有:要求允许提议(ask, allow, advise),期望邀请鼓励(expect, invite, encourage),教导告诉想要(teach, tell, want,need),等待希望愿意(wait for, wish, would like / love)。如:
①We are now inviting them to help us.
②We need more people to count and describe the birds.
③We ask people not to catch birds for any reason.
(2)不带to动词不定式作补语,在主动语态句里to省略 (被动语态句里to要加上)。多数动词是感官动词和使役动词,包括四“看”:look at, observe, see, watch,三“让”:have, let, make,二“听”:hear, listen to,一“感觉”:feel,一“注意”:notice。如:
①This picture makes me feel excited!
②Mr Mu agreed to let me join their school trip.
③She often sees the boy play football in the park.
(3)有的动词不定式作宾补时to可带可不带,如help后接动词不定式作补语。
①They can help you (to) learn English.
② Using email English helps you write quickly.
【拓展】动词不定式的其它用法介绍:
(1)用作后置定语定语:句子的主语或宾语是动词不定式的逻辑主语,不定式与其所修饰的名词、代词等存在逻辑的动宾关系.
①I have so many clothes ( to wash) today.
②We have no house (to live in). ③I have much homework (to do).
(2)用作原因状语,多见于“sb.+be+adj.+to do...”结构句中。如:
①I feel very lucky to have a friend like you. ②I am sorry to hear that.
(3)用作结果状语,多见于“too...to”,“enough to...”结构句中。如:
①I’m too tired to walk any farther.
②The room is big enough for three people to live in.
= The room is too small for three people to live in.
③I ran home quickly to find my house on fire.
(4)用作宾语:常直接跟在及物动词ask, choose, agree, hope, decide, learn,know, wish, want,would like / love等后面作宾语。如:
①We want to go shopping. ②He needs to buy a pen.
③Tom decided to go swimming.
★动词不定式在及物动词后作宾语。 动词不定式在不及物动词后常作状语。
★有的动词既可接动词不定式作宾语,也可接动词-ing形式作宾语,但意义区别比较明显,如:forget / remember to do sth.(忘记/记住要做某事);forget / remember doing sth.(忘记/记得做过某事);stop to do sth.(停下来去做另一件事);stop doing sth.(停止正在做的事)。
(5)用作主语:直接把动词不定式置于句首的情况不多,多数情况用it作形式主语,把真正的主语——动词不定式置于句末,特别是不定式短语较长时(有时在不定式的前面还会用for sb.表示不定式的逻辑主语)。动词不定式作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。带疑问词的不定式短语作主语常置于句首,复合不定式结构作主语常置于句末。如:
①To get there by bike will take us half an hour.
= It will take us half an hour to get there by bike.
②It+be+形容词+for sb+to do sth.
It is difficult for us to finish the exercises in an hour. (difficult修物或事)
③It+be+形容词+of sb+to do sth.
It is kind of you to help me. (kind修人)
(6)用作表语:动词不定式作表语,常说明主语的内容、性质、特征,通常放在连系动词(主要是be动词)后。如:
①My dream is to become a doctor. ②My job is to clean the toilet.

A. the B. a C. an D. /
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——真遗憾,大卫英语考试又不及格。——我们最好对他表示同情并且帮助他,而不是嘲笑他。
考查冠词的用法。the这个/这些,定冠词,表特指;a/an一个,不定冠词,表泛指,表示数量,a用在以辅音音素开头的单词前,an用在以元音音素开头的单词前;/表示不填,零冠词。take pity on“对……表示同情”,因此此处不填,用零冠词。故选D。
2. After drinking for the whole night, Uncle John slept ________ the day without eating anything.
A. upon B. through C. across D. over
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:在喝了一整晚酒之后,约翰叔叔睡了一整天,什么也没吃。
考查介词。upon在……上;through(内部)穿过、自始至终;across(表面)穿过;over在……上方。through the day“一整天”,此时through意思是“自始至终”。故选B。

【解析】

A. has arrived in B. has gone to C. has been to D. has been in
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你叔叔到了吗?——是的。他已经在南京待了三天了。
考查持续性动词的用法。has arrived in已经到了;has gone to去了某地(还未回来);has been to去过某地(已回来);has been in待在某地。for+一段时间要与持续性动词一起连用,ABC三个选项都是短暂性动词,故选D。
5. —I’ve tried my best, but I still failed.

A. accept B. receive C. record D. prevent

考查动词辨析及动词时态。“怀特先生把钥匙落在办公室”的动作已经完成,并且对现在“请求妻子帮助”产生了影响,故为现在完成时,故排除B、D两项。forget与leave均可表示“遗忘”,但forget不与表示地点的副词或短语连用,leave要与表示地点的副词或短语连用。本句中有地点状语“in the office ”,故用leave。故选C。
7. —What will the weather be like this afternoon, Jane?
—It ________ be fine. Who knows? It’s always changing quickly.
A. must B. will C. may D. should
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——今天下午天气会怎么样,Jane?——可能会好的。谁知道呢?它总是在快速变化。
考查情态动词辨析。must必须;will将会;may可能;should应该。根据“Who knows? It’s always changing quickly.”可知,今天下午的天气“可能”很好,表示肯定推测用may。故选C。
8. —What a wonderful match! I just can’t stop cheering and screaming.

考查连词辨析。Before在……之前;Because因为;While当……期间;As随着。结合句意可知,空后“time goes by”“时间推移”,与连词As连接,构成状语从句,表示“随着时间的推移,他们肯定会长高的”。故选D。
10. —Mum, I’m thirsty. Is there any juice in the fridge?
—Sorry, dear! There is ________. Let’s go to the supermarket and buy some.
A. nothing B. none C. no one D. neither
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——妈妈,我渴了。冰箱里有果汁吗?——对不起,亲爱的!没有。我们去超市买一些吧。
考查不定代词。nothing没有什么;none一点没有;no one没有人;neither两者都不。根据juice可知,空格处指的是物,排除C项;再根据“Let’s go to the supermarket and buy some.”可知,冰箱里没有果汁了,针对数量,因此填none。故选B。

【详解】句意:“他把墙壁涂成白色。”这句话的结构是:“主语+及物动词+宾语+宾语补足语”。
考查句子结构。S+V+O即:主语+及物动词+宾语;S+V+IO+DO即:主语+及物动词+间接宾语+直接宾语;S+V+DO+OC即:主语+及物动词+宾语+宾语补足语;S+V+P即:主语+系动词+表语。根据句子成分可知,he为主语; painted为及物动词;the wall为宾语;white是形容词,对宾语the wall加以补充说明,为宾语补足语;因此此句的句子结构为S+V+DO+OC。故选C。

Searching for parking spaces has long been a headache for many office workers in many big cities of China, especially for those working in central business districts. Parking near their companies for five days a week could cost them a lot of money. At the same time, even with prices for parking lots in residential areas(居民区) rising, most of their spaces remain idle during workdays.
Now a new form of sharing economy has appeared in China—the shared parking space. It has become a huge market in some big cities. In Qingdao, a coastal city in Shandong, up to 10,000 personal parking spaces have been turned into shared ones with the help of “Airparking”, an online shared parking platform developed by a network company from Guangzhou.
Users can share and order a parking place by downloading and using a special app. Owners who have idle parking spaces can share some information, including the parking position, license number and time limit on the platform. With the information, users can easily find the nearest place to park. The average parking cost for shared parking is 4 yuan each hour, almost the same as the service cost in traditional parking spaces.
Qingdao is one of the Chinese cities that encourage shared parking. Some other big cites, including Beijing, Shanghai and Hefei, have also begun to try this idea. The Shanghai government, for example, has set up more than 6,500 shared parking spaces to encourage the public to use. Shared parking will be more and more helpful to the drivers.
34. The underlined word “idle” probably means ________ in Chinese in Paragraph 1.
A. 懒散的 B. 降价的 C. 闲置的 D. 废弃的
35. If you want to use shared parking in Qingdao, you should ________.
A. download and use a special app
B. share your personal information
C. have a parking space of your own
D. work in central business districts
36. The structure(结构) of the passage is ________.
A. B. C. D.
37. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Qingdao has fewer shared parking spaces than Shanghai.
B. Shared parking will probably become more and more popular.
C. Shared parking is less expensive than traditional parking service.
D. It’s hard to find parking spaces in residential areas during workdays.

C
At about noon one weekday in Maizidian, a busy business area in Beijing, office workers come in and out of a convenience (便利) store just as usual. Nearly all carry packaged (包装的) meats and drinks before hurrying back to work.
The store, owned by the Bianlifeng, sells 800 to 1,000 packaged meals, usually including rice and several smaller dishes, at lunchtime every workday. About 80 percent of the buyers are white-collar workers according to Bianlifeng. Reasonable (合理的) prices, convenience and quality of ready-to-eat meals have changed convenience stores into “kitchens” for many city workers.
Zhang Hui, 32, a manager at a foreign company in Shanghai, goes to these stores for most of her meals. She spends less than 10 yuan on breakfast, including steamed stuffed buns, porridge or soybean milk, and about 20 yuan on packaged meals for lunch and dinner each day. “When I’m in hurry, or when I have to eat alone, I will choose ready-to-eat foods in convenience stores, which are fast and make buying easy. This also saves me from feeling uncomfortable about eating alone in a restaurant.” Zhang said. “Moreover, the taste of such foods is acceptable.”
China has about 122,000 convenience stores, mainly in first-tier and second-tier cities (一线二线城市). With the changes of modern society, people seem to have faster lives. Most of them now don’t have as much time to cook as before. With more disposable income (可支配收入), people are more willing to spend on convenience. And now they are giving more importance to the environment and food safety. Ready-to-eat foods in convenience stores can meet these needs, mainly for a large number of young single people. Half of the buyers at convenience stores are those from 20 to 29, and more than 30 percent of them are office workers.
38. The following are the reasons for choosing convenience stores EXCEPT ________.
A. real convenience B. modern kitchens
C. acceptable taste D. ready-to-eat quality
39. What does the underlined word “This” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Zhang Hui’s self-cooking at home.
B. Zhang Hui’s eating alone in a restaurant.
C. Zhang Hui’s choice of ready-to-eat foods.
D. Zhang Hui’s hurry to work without having meals.
40. Which of the following sentences is TRUE?
A. China’s convenience stores are only in big cities.
B. People care more about the environment and food safety.
C. People in big cities have as much time to cook as before.
D. Zhang Hui spends less than 20 yuan in convenience stores every day.
41. The main idea of the passage is ________.
A. what convenience stores sell
B. how people like convenience stores
C. why convenience stores are popular

【答案】38. B 39. C 40. B 41. C
