语境感悟
Not that long ago,my first thought at mealtimes was to eat at a restaurant.What I was eager to do was to try new restaurants.To eat out proved to be a social activity,allowing me to enhance the relationship with my friends.I often ate out until last month,when I came across a cooking app.What confused me was which recipe to choose.So many recipes are uploaded by users,and offer detailed instructions so that others can follow them step by step.Most of the recipes include photos or videos,
which are very useful for beginners.When I picked a popular recipe and gave it a try,I discovered that it was not that difficult to make a simple and tasty dish.In the last few weeks,I’ve thrown myself into home cooking,from boiling noodles in the pot to frying steak in the pan.I hardly eat out any more.Not only is cooking at home cheaper,but I can cook exactly what I want.It’s healthier too.No wonder people say nothing beats home cooking!
Now I am good at cooking a couple of dishes.My plan is to invite my friends over at the weekend to show them my new-found skills.I hope that they will like my cooking!

动词不定式作表语
动词不定式是非谓语动词的一种,可以放在系动词之后作表语,通常说明或解释主语的内容,也可表示将来的动作。
一、动词不定式作表语的基本用法
1.常用在系动词后:动词不定式作表语,一般紧跟在系动词如be,seem,remain,appear,get等后面。
But David,what counts most is to participate to the best of your ability in whatever you’re doing.
但是大卫,最重要的是尽你所能参与你所做的一切。
Besides,more entertaining English activities remain to be created and promoted.
此外,还有更多有趣的英语活动有待创建和推广。
2.说明或解释主语的内容:主语通常是wish,idea,task,purpose,duty,job,goal,aim,way等表示意向、打算、计划的词及what引导的主语从句等。
Our aim was to see if we could live,in some way,like real Parisians.(2021·新课标Ⅰ)
我们的目标是看看我们是否能在某种程度上像真正的巴黎人一样生活。
We can infer that the purpose of his project is to help students see their own strengths.
我们可以推断,他的项目旨在帮助学生看到自己的优势。
What he wanted to do was (to) cut down the price and increase the sales.
他想做的是降低价格,增加销量。
[名师点津] 当主语部分有what/all/everything等代词和实义动词do(表示“做”)的某种形式时,作表语的动词不定式可以不带to。
3.“疑问词+to do”结构作表语:
“疑问词+to do”结构在句子中可以作表语,可以改写成由该疑问词引导的从句。
My question is where to find the answer.
=My question is where I can find the answer.
我的问题是在哪里可以找到答案。
二、动词不定式与动词-ing形式、动词-ed形式作表语的区别
动词不定式作表语 强调的是一次性、具体的、将要发生的动作
动词-ing形式作表语 强调的是一般性、抽象的、经常发生的动作或事物的特征
动词-ed形式作表语 表示人的内心感受

A
A year after Walt Disney made history with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,its artists were struggling to find the right design for Bambi,the tale of a young deer.The film’s production team realized they needed an alternative to the style that highlighted almost all of the leaves,flowers and mushrooms in their first feature-length animated(动画的) film.
Soon they got their inspiration from Tyrus Wong,whose work was on display at New York City’s Museum of Chinese in America in 2015.In 1938,the Walt Disney Studio hired him to draw the frames between the main drawings of the animators.After reading the story of Bambi,he saw an opportunity to break out of his humdrum job.He said to himself,“This is all outdoor scenery.And I’m a landscape painter.This will be great!”
Inspired by Chinese landscape paintings,he used watercolor and pastels(蜡笔) to make sketches that bring the feeling of forest scenes with simple strokes of color and special attention to light and shadow.Wong’s sketches attracted Disney and became the guide for Bambi’s background artists,who were later trained to imitate his style.“His expression was a great leap forward for the medium,” writes John Lasseter,the chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios.“Where other films were literal,Bambi was expressive and emotional.” In 2001,Wong was named “Disney Legend”,and he received the recognition as the true lead artist.
He pursued art all his life and still made art during his retirement,including toy animals from recycled materials and handmade kites that he regularly flew off the Santa Monica Pier in California.“People admire his works because of Bambi,but Bambi was just a really small part of his life,” says his youngest daughter.“He considers himself not a great artist but a lucky artist,who was at the right place at the right time.”

Mogao Grottoes is located at the western end of the Hexi Corridor along the ancient Silk Road in Dunhuang,China.Until now,most mural paintings at Mogao Grottoes have been dated by directly referring to the mural texts or historical documents.However,some are still left with the creation era(时代) uncertain due to the lack of reference materials or the disagreement of art experts.
The drawing style of mural paintings was changing throughout history and can be learned and quantified through painting data.A new dating method has been developed by encoding(编码) the drawing styles using visual codes learned through deep learning.This new method successfully discovered the creation era of six mural paintings at Mogao Grottoes.This new research work is led by Qingquan Li from Shenzhen University.
With the help of experts from Dunhuang Academy,seven mural paintings from two grottoes (No.205 and No.206) were chosen as subjects for this dating research.
To reveal the creation era of these paintings,Qin Zou,a researcher from Wuhan University,collected 3,860 mural paintings from 194 different grottoes with confirmed creation-era labels.To find the visual codes that can identify the era in these paintings,the authors constructed a deep convolutional neural network(卷积神经网络) and classified(将……分类) these painting images into the right eras.Based on the classification model,a dating method was built and applied to date the seven paintings.
Six of the new dating results were approved by experts from Dunhuang Academy.“These dating results are correct and the method is great,” said Mr Hui-Min Wang,a distinguished expert from the Archaeological Institute of Dunhuang Academy.
“To the best of our knowledge,” wrote the researchers,“this work represents the first account of a scientific and quantitative manner to support the era prediction and reduce the uncertainties in dating ancient paintings by using deep learning.”

4 Some of them dislike artists who make so much money in galleries and museums.They choose street art because it is closer to people.Some artists try to express their opinions in their work.They often want to protest against something.Advertising companies also use street art in their ads because it gives people the impression of youth and energy.
In today’s world,the Internet has a big influence on street art. 5 Many city residents,however,say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it live.The street art movement lives with the energy and life of a big city.There it will continue to change and grow.

3.答案 D

Her eyes began to water,but she went on: “So I’d like you all 6. (make) a promise.From now on,on your way to school,or home,find something beautiful to enjoy.It doesn’t have to be something 7. you see.It could be a scent(气味),or it could be the sound of the soft wind slightly touching the 8. (leaf) in the trees...”
The class was completely quiet.9. (pick) up our books,we went out of the room one by one silently.That afternoon,I noticed 10. (many) things on my way home from school than I had in a whole term.
语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了多年前,作者的高中老师在课堂上分享了自己关于生命的感悟,老师让学生们多去关注生活中美丽的事物,学会感激生命中的每一刻。
1.答案 death
解析 考查名词。此处使用名词death“死亡”,作after的宾语。故填death。
2.答案 moved
解析 考查时态。根据句意及空前的was可知,事情发生在过去,故时态用一般过去时。故填moved。
3.答案 Before
解析 考查连词。根据语境可知,此处指的是在课堂结束之前,应用连词before;句首单词的首字母需大写。故填Before。
4.答案 is put
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。结合语境可知本句陈述事实,故时态用一般现在时,且主语Each of us与put之间为被动关系,要用被动语态,主语为第三人称单数,be动词用is。故填is put。
5.答案 at
解析 考查介词。句意:它随时都可能被拿走。at any moment“任何时候,随时”,为固定短语。故填at。
6.答案 to make
解析 考查非谓语动词。本句谓语为would like,此处为非谓语动词,would like sb to do sth“想要某人做某事”,应用make的不定式,作宾补。故填to make。
7.答案 that
解析 考查定语从句。本空引导限制性定语从句,先行词是不定代词something,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作宾语,应用关系代词that引导。故填that。
8.答案 leaves
解析 考查名词复数。结合句意可知,树叶不止一片,应用复数形式,作touch的宾语。故填leaves。
9.答案 Having picked
解析 考查非谓语动词。句意:我们拿起书,一个接一个地默默地走出了房间。本句谓语为went,此处为非谓语动词,作状语,且动作pick up“拿起”发生在谓语went之前,故用现在分词的完成式,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Having picked。
10.答案 more
解析 考查形容词比较级。结合句意和之后的than可知,本空用many的比较级more“更多的”,作定语,修饰things。故填more。
