Review:non-finite forms as subject,object and predicative
Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
a Today,architects continue to explore ways to capture the beauty of natural forms,...
b ...it appears to float above the waterfront promenade and the water that surrounds it.……
c Visitors are often amazed to find themselves in an urban building that so truly captures the beauty of natural forms.
d Creating buildings such as these enables us to live in closer harmony with our environment.
1 Look at the “to do” structures in sentences(a)and(b). Do they serve the same function in each sentence?
2 In sentence(c),is the -ed form used as an adjective or a past participle? Why does the author use the -ed form other than the -ing form?
3 What is the function of the -ing form in sentence(d)?
Now look for more sentences with these structures in the reading passage.
No,they don’t. “To explore” in sentence(a)serves as object and “to float” in sentence(b) serves as predicative.
The -ed form is used as an adjective. The author wants to describe the visitors’ feeling,so the -ed form is used.
The -ing form is used as subject.

the Wright brothers
One is copying form and shape. Another one is taking inspiration from the abilities of animals.
When solving a design problem, you can sometimes look to nature for a solution. One of the early examples is the study of birds to enable human flight. The Wright brothers got their inspiration from observing pigeons in flight, and in 1903 successfully obtained a patent for their designs for the first aeroplane. This approach, called biomimicry, studies and imitates nature’s designs and processes to seek solutions to human problems.
There are many types of biomimicry, among which the most common one is copying form and shape. By imitating the beak of a bird, high speed trains such as China's CRH trains can be made to run much faster and more quietly. Another type of biomimicry is taking inspiration from the abilities of animals. Inspired by dolphins, people have learnt how to send signals underwater, which is currently employed in tsunami early-warning systems.

Read the passage and answer the questions.
One of the outstanding features of traditional Chinese martial arts (武术)is the way they imitate animal movements. This came about (产生)because many Chinese martial artists admired the natural instincts (自然本性), senses and fighting abilities that animals possess in order to survival in the wild.
The first set of animal-imitating exercises came into being (形成,产生)about 2,000 years ago. It was called Wu Qin Xi, or Five-animal Exercises, created by Hua Tuo (ca145–208). As a physician during the Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo is often credited with(被誉为) being the first in China to use anesthesia (麻醉) during surgery. He was known as the best physician of his time, and was an expert in acupuncture (针灸).
