Unit 5 Wild animals
Grammar
Extensive reading
Many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction, because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly. For example, with the development of cities, the use of insecticide(杀虫剂) and serious pollution, their living areas have become narrower and narrower. Many of the wild animals are faced with food crisis now. At the same time, man is killing off species just for getting their fur, skin, teeth and meat.
In order to protect our ecology(生态), people should realize that the loss of any species means the loss of knowledge and natural beauty. Therefore, measures of the following should be taken: killing off certain rare species is prohibited; pollution standards are made to keep down poisons; national parks should be set up as reserves(保护区).

Using verbs + to-infinitives
上面例子中主要行为动词后面的动词
都采用了“to + 动词原形”的结构,我们把
这种结构称为动词不定式。
当句子中已经有谓语动词,而我们又要
表达不止一个动作概念时,其余的动词可以
使用非谓语形式表达。
动词不定式就是动词的一种非谓语形
式,其基本形式是“to+动词原形”
注意:动词不定式在句中不作谓语,
因此没有人称和数的变化。
动词不定式在句中常作谓语动词的宾语
decide hope want agree choose plan offer
wish learn would like promise fail refuse seem
hate like love prefer begin start
try forget remember stop need
常接动词不定式作宾语的动词有:
learn to work out
decide to fly
remember to come back
begin to save
