诵读下列例句并感知黑体部分的共性
(1)To change bad habits is never easy,even with many attempts.
(2)To prevent harmful habits like these from dominating a teenager's life is essential.
(3)However,during this period,it can be easy for some of them to form bad habits.
我的发现:
1.以上三句中黑体部分的动词不定式都作 。
2.第三句中的it作 主语,真正的主语是动词不定式。

形式
[知识精要]
一、动词不定式作主语的基本用法
1.动词不定式作主语,表示某一次具体的、特定的或有待实现的动作。
To finish the work in a week is impossible.(表示将来)
要在一周内完成这项工作是不可能的。
[注意] (1)表示单一概念的动词不定式作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。
To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness one can seek.
爱与被爱是一个人所能寻找的最大的幸福。
(2)动词不定式的被动形式是to be done。
To be appointed as monitor of his class by his headteacher made him excited.
被班主任任命为班里的班长使他很兴奋。
2.it作形式主语,真正的主语(动词不定式)后置,常用于下列句式中:
(1)It+be+名词(a pity/a shame/a pleasure/one's duty/an honour/...)+to do sth.
It is our duty to try our best to deal with these problems.尽力处理这些问题是我们的责任。
(2) It takes sb.+ some time +to do sth.
How long did it take you to finish the work?
完成这项工作花费了你多长时间?
(3)It be+形容词+for sb.+to do sth.
It is hard for him to finish the work in three days.
对他来说,在三天内完成这项工作很难。
[注意] 强调动作特征的形容词,如easy,difficult,hard,important,possible,wise等,常用于此句型。为了强调动词不定式动作的执行者,常在动词不定式前加for sb.。
(4)It be+形容词+of sb.+to do sth.
“It is kind of you to help others,” the teacher says.
老师说:“你帮助其他人,真是太善良了。”
[注意] 表示心理品质或性格特征的形容词,如kind,nice,stupid,clever,foolish,polite,impolite,silly,selfish,considerate等,常用于此句型,动作的逻辑主语与这些形容词可以构成主系表结构,因此这样的句式也可转化为“sb.+be+形容词+动词不定式”。
3.“疑问词+动词不定式短语”作主语
When and where to hold the meeting is still unknown.
在何时何地举行会议仍不清楚。
To be honest, how to get there on time is my great concern.
说实话,如何按时到达那里是我最担心的问题。1
二、动词不定式与动名词作主语的区别
1.
不定式作主语 往往表示具体的或一次性的动作
动名词作主语 表示一般或抽象的行为动作
To teach you the uses of the infinitives is my job today.(表示具体行为)
教你们动词不定式的用法是我今天的工作。
Teaching is my job.(表示抽象行为)
教学是我的工作。
2.下列句型中常用动名词作主语。
在“It is+no use/no good/useless/a waste of time...”句型中常用动词-ing形式作真正的主语。
It is no use waiting here doing nothing.
无所事事地在这里等待是没有用的。

A study following nearly 30,000 older adults for more than 10 years has found six key healthy lifestyle factors can significantly reduce memory loss and those adults engaging in between four and six of the healthy lifestyle behaviors could dramatically reduce their risks of developing dementia (痴呆), even when carrying genes that increase their risks of Alzheimer's disease.
“Six healthy lifestyle aspects were assessed: a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, active social contact, active cognitive (认知的) activity, never smoking, and never drinking alcohol,” the researchers explained in the new study.Participants were classified (分类) into the favorable group if they had four to six healthy lifestyle factors, into the average group for two to three factors, and into the unfavorable group for zero to one factor.
The study found that people with four to six healthy habits had a much slower loss of memory than those with fewer healthy habits.People with these good habits were also much less likely to get dementia than those with one or no healthy habits.Those who had two or three good habits were 30% less likely to get dementia.
The study didn't figure out which of the six healthy habits was the best for stopping dementia or which combination was the best.However, the information did show that eating healthily seemed to help prevent memory loss the most, with brain exercise and regular physical exercise also very helpful.
About 20% of the people in the study had a gene that makes Alzheimer's disease more likely.Even so, having several good health habits helped slow down memory loss.This shows that changing how we live can really help.
Even though each healthy habit helped in a different way, overall, the study found that people with more good health habits had much less memory loss than those with fewer good habits.This suggests that the choices we make in how we live can help protect our memory.The study adds to the evidence that we might be able to change our risk of memory loss.

Ⅳ.语法填空
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了豆腐起源于中国,然后又传到日本等东亚国家。豆腐在全球流行起来却花了较长一段时间,现在豆腐以一种现代的方式被世人所食用。
Legend has it that tofu was discovered by a health-conscious Chinese prince named Liu An more than 2,000 years ago when he
1. (make) an elixir (灵丹妙药). He realized that soy milk left in certain conditions coagulated (凝固) and developed a pudding-like substance and that was the beginning of tofu.
1.考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。结合句意可知,刘安在制药的过程中发明了豆腐,表示动作正在进行中,用过去进行时;make与he之间是主动关系;主语是第三人称单数,系动词用was,故填was making。
答案:was making
It's 2. (universal) believed that monks visiting China brought tofu to neighbouring countries like Japan.
2.考查词性转换。修饰谓语动词应用副词,故填universally。
答案:universally
3. East Asia has been eating tofu for more than 1,000 years,it took a lot longer for it to catch on globally.Benjamin Franklin,one of the United State's founding fathers,wrote a letter 4. some soybeans attached while he was in London,praising it as a“Chinese cheese”in 1770.The letter was one of the earliest documents on record
5. mentioned tofu in the West. Li Shizeng, 6. enthusiast of tofu,is often credited with making tofu a more widely accepted food outside of Asia.It's said that he was the first sent by the Chinese
government to attend a French military school. He ended up 7. ________
(study) at the agricultural school in Montargis and was 8.____________
(passion)about promoting tofu in France.
3.考查连词。根据句意可知,此处表示“尽管东亚人吃豆腐已有
1 000多年了,但它在全球流行起来却花了更长的时间”,故填While或Although或Though。
答案:While/Although/Though
4.考查介词。分析句子结构并根据句意可知,此处考查with复合结构,表示Franklin在伦敦时写了一封信,信上附着一些黄豆,故填with。
答案:with
5.考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句且在从句中作主语,先行词指物,且因为先行词有形容词最高级修饰,故空处只能填关系代词that。
答案:that
6.考查冠词。分析句子结构可知,此处表示泛指,又因enthusiast的发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
答案:an
7.考查非谓语动词。end up doing为固定搭配,意为“以……而告终”,此处指他最终在Montargis的农业学校学习。
答案:studying
8.考查词性转换。根据句意可知,此处表示他热衷于在法国推销豆腐,故填passionate。
答案:passionate
Nowadays, tofu 9. (serve) in a modern way.In many fine dining restaurants,the tasting menu is designed around its textures.The dishes and ingredients change according to the seasons.For example,in one of the restaurants,the current menu starts with the texture“silken”,
10. (represent) by tofu.
9.考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语nowadays并结合句意可知,此处陈述的是现在的情况,应用一般现在时;句子的主语tofu与serve之间为被动关系,应用被动语态;因为主语tofu为不可数名词,谓语动词应用单数形式,故填is served。
答案:is served
10.考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作非谓语,represent与the texture “silken”之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系,故填过去分词represented。
答案:represented
$$
