3.語法:動詞不定式(The Infinitive)
一) 動詞不定式和動詞不定式短語:
動詞不定式是一種非謂語動詞形式,不能單獨做謂語,但是又具有動詞的特點,可以有自己的狀語和賓語構(gòu)成動詞不定式短語。例如:
It’s very important for you to listen to the teacher’s instructions carefully.
To design front page for Class Paper by computer every month is a great pleasure for him now.
二) 動詞不定式的形式和含義
1、to do是動詞不定式的一般式,表示即將要做的事情或發(fā)生的動作。
如: The new type of computer to appear in the market next month is even advanced.
2、to have been done 是動詞不定式完成被動式,表示動作發(fā)生在謂語動詞之前,而且與邏輯主語的關(guān)系是被動關(guān)系。
如: The book was said to have been translated into more than ten languages.
3、to be doing是動詞不定式的進(jìn)行式,表示其動作和謂語動詞的動作同時發(fā)生。
如: Jack pretended to be reading when mother came into his room.
4、to have done 是動詞不定式的完成式,表示動作發(fā)生謂語動詞之前。
如: I felt terribly sorry to have caused you so much trouble.
5、to be done 是動詞不定式的一般被動式,表示即將要發(fā)生的動作,而且與邏輯主語的關(guān)系是被動關(guān)系。
如: He thought it an honor to be invited to speak there.
三) 動詞不定式在句子中充當(dāng)?shù)某煞?/p>
動詞不定式可在句中作主語、賓語、表語、定語、狀語、補(bǔ)足語,但不能作謂語,可有自己的邏輯主語,即for sb. to do
1、不定式作主語
To do that sort of thing is foolish.
It would be better for you to go there.(it作形式主語代替后面的不定式)
注意:不定式作主語表示某次特定的行動;動名詞作主語表示經(jīng)常性習(xí)慣性動作。
Walking after supper is helpful.
To walk in the street this evening will be nice.
2、不定式作表語
To see is to believe. (主語為不定式時,表語也用不定式,不用動名詞)
All you have to do is(to)finish the job quickly.
(當(dāng)表語用來解釋主語中的do的具體內(nèi)容時,表語中的不定式常省略to。)
3、不定式作賓語
He promised not to tell anybody about it.(不定式的否定為not to do)
He didn’t go to the party last night,but he intended to.
(不定式后的動詞可承前省略,但to不省略)
以下動詞只能跟不定式作賓語:afford,agree,ask,attempt,decide,demand,expect,fail,help,hope,manage,offer,plan,prepare,pretend,promise,refuse,seem,wish
4、不定式作定語
①There are many TV sets to choose from.

②Betty was the first(girl) to come.
He’s the only person to know the truth.
The easiest way to learn English is staying at an English family.
(當(dāng)名詞前有序數(shù)詞,最高級或next,only等修飾時,其后面用不定式修飾)
③She has a wish to travel around the world.(一些要求不定式作賓語的動詞轉(zhuǎn)化為名詞后,仍可帶不定式作定語)
5、不定式作狀語
①He spoke loudly (so as/in order) to be heard.(目的狀語)
②I’m too tired to walk any further this afternoon.(結(jié)果狀語)
不定式作結(jié)果狀語常用如下結(jié)構(gòu):

such+adj.+n.+as to do 如此……以至于
enough+adj./adv.+to do足夠……
too+adv./adj.+to do太……以致不能

⑤動詞短語+賓語+帶to的不定式,具有這種用法的詞組有:arrange for,ask for,call on,count on,long for,depend on, rely on,wait for等。如:
I’m waiting for you to reply.
四) 不定式符號to是否省略:
1、感官動詞(feel,hear,listen to,watch, see,look at,notice,observe等)及使役動詞have,let,make等動詞后,不定式不帶to,但是,當(dāng)這些動詞變成被動語態(tài)時,動詞不定式要加上to。如:

-Mum,why do you always make me eat an egg every day?
-To get enough protein and nutrition as you are growing up.

2、不定式用作介詞except、but和besides的賓語時,如果except、but和besides前有do的某種形式,則其后不定式不帶to,否則要帶to。如:

另外,在but構(gòu)成的習(xí)慣用語中不帶to:can not help but do…(不得不);can do nothing but do…;can not choose but do…;can not do anything but do…(只能做)。
3、當(dāng)兩個或多個不定式由并列連詞and或or連接時,第二個(及其后的)不定式中的to?墒÷浴
如:The student has decided to go to school and ask his teacher for help
但是,如果不定式之間不是并列而是表示強(qiáng)烈的對比關(guān)系,或者在不用and和or連接時,則第二個不定式前的to不能省略。
如: The purpose of new technologies is to make life easier,not to make it more difficult.
I want him to write these sentences down and not to translate them into Chinese.(前后對比關(guān)系)
4、句子的主語是含有do的名詞性從句,或者是all/thing+含有do的定語從句時,其后作表語的不定式可以帶to,也可以不帶to。如:
What he wants to do is (to)travel to Beijing on the National Day.
All I want to do is (to)help my students improve their English level.
What the workers would demand is to raise their wage.
5、在情態(tài)動詞如:had better,would rather…than…,might as well之后不用to。動詞help后to可帶可不帶。

We have long lived in a world where we are persuaded. Supermarkets are such places. We spend more time in them than we 1 to. We buy 75 percent of our food from them and 2 with products that we didn’t realize we wanted.
Right from the start supermarkets have been 3 of us. For example, when Sainsbury 4 shopping baskets into its 1950s stores, it was a great 5 .Now customers could pick up 6 they previously would have 7 . Soon after came trolleys(手推車), and just 8 new roads attract more 9 , the same applied to trolley space.
Supermarkets work hard to round us there because the more time we spend in them, the more we buy. Thus great 10 is made to make the 11 pleasant. Stores play music to relax us and some 12 pipe air from the in-store bakery around the shop. In the USA, fake aromas(香精)are sometimes 13 . In experiments, pleasant smells are 14 in increasing our spending.
The other success story from the supermarket is the loyalty card(會員卡).Customers may think they are being 15 for their consumption, but all the while they are trading 16 about their shopping habits. Research has shown that 75 percent of 17 comes from just 30 percent of customers. Eventually, reward cards could be used to 18 these shoppers, to make advertisements more 19 to those individual consumers, and to know who is buying what. 20 they can follow the product into people’s home.
1. A. have B. mean C. hope D. like
2. A. end up B. come up C. carry up D. hold up
3. A. fond B. curious C. ahead D. full

Ⅲ.閱讀理解
A
With Chinese universities turning out as many as 3 millions new graduate a year, the nation is quickly discovering the need to equip its young people not just with knowledge but the courage to build their own enterprises.
Gone are the days when a university diploma would qualify a person for being a member of the elite class. Only by adding entrepreneurial knowledge to the menu of skills for those newly launched into the workplace can today’s young people prove to be society’s most highly valued human resources.
Owning and running a company is an effective way to learn how to use one’s knowledge, manage human relationships, and serve other people.
It is welcome that some government agencies have announced improved terms of financial support to university students’ business ventures.
The Ministry of Labour and Social Security announced on March 29 that it would organize a training program designed for 300,000 people across the country in 2005, including college students, laid-off workers and migrant labors, with the expectation that half of the trainees will start their own businesses. The ministry hopes that such start-ups will become a new source of jobs to help ease China’s lingering unemployment crisis.
1. College students are encouraged to build their own enterprise mainly because .
A. they are not qualified for being a member of the elite class
B. today’s college graduates are not as good as those of the past
C. there are not so many good jobs for good college students
D. it is a way of easing the lingering unemployment crises
2. Which of the following is NOT true about building an enterprise of one’s own?
A. It can prove one’s true value
B. It can help to get on well with other people
C. It can help to train laid-off workers
D. It can apply to use what one has learned
3. The word “elite” in the second paragraph probably means
A. college students B. workers of a unit
C. excellent persons D. laid-off workers
4. It is implied that the biggest problem with setting up an enterprise for a college student is
A. knowledge B. experience
C. relationship D. money
B
The word “product” covers a lot more than the obvious objects, physical articles available for sale. A product can be a service, like dry-cleaning or management consulting. A product can also be a concept you would like an audience to believe. You might be selling support for a person, place, event, organization, or idea.
Your “product” will most likely be a combination of actual items, service, and beliefs. That is why I like to use the word “offering”. What you offer customers will almost certainly contain elements of each. A politician candidate is in many ways a product, promising to function in a way that solves problems for if you elect the candidate to office. Each of these examples represents some “offering” someone is asking an audience to buy.
As a marketer you must understand something about the life cycle of your product. If one product is falling in popularity, you need to have something else in the pipeline. How do you develop your new product? Are there innovations(革新)you can bring in current product?
The basic product life cycle goes like this: you introduce a product. If it’s halfway successful, it passes from introduction into a growth phase. Eventually it reaches maturity, which is then followed by a nearly unavoidable stage of decline. But not every drop in sales indicates the end of your product’s life cycle. If a downslide in sales occurs, treat it as a warning sign, not a death knell.
Never forget our first rule of marketing: People don’t buy products, they buy solutions to problems. If you can create a product offering that continually evolves(演化), solving customer needs as those needs evolve, you will have a successful long-term product strategy.
5. According to the general idea of a product is .
A. service B. concept C. offering D. support
6. Which of the following is NOT true about keeping our products alive.
A. Develop your products
B. Learn to introduce your product
C. Bring in something new
D. Provide some kind of solution
7. In the second cycle of product life, the selling of your product
A. is very poor B. increases quickly
C. reaches its top D. begins to fall
8. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. What Does a Product Mean?
B. What’s the First Rule of Marketing?
C. What’s the Product Life Cycle?
D. How to be a Good Marketer?
C
At 9:00 a.m., I was scheduled to talk at a local high school to students in a program designed to keep pregnant(懷孕的)teens and troubled kids in school. The school is highly guarded because most of the kids are troublemakers who become involved with the law. I found it very difficult to address this multi-cultural group and talk about things that could encourage them for the future. I wasn’t making any progress until I started talking about what I do so well, helping people with money.
I took out a stack of $2 bills and started giving them out. The kids began to wake up because it was free money. The only thing I asked them after they took the money was not to spend it on themselves. I told them that they each had children that are unborn and, maybe, if there is anything in this world that could help move them forward, it is the fact that someone cares enough to do this.
Some of them asked for my signature. I think I honestly touched some of them. I started exchanging the dollar bills for a copy of the book I had written. Finally I closed with telling them that no matter what happens, someone out there really cares about them and is pulling for their success.
This is not the end of story. When I left the classroom, I told them to call me if they ever han problems. I couldn’t promise that I could help, but I was willing to listen and try to do anything in the world.
Three days later, I received a letter from a girl who heard my talk, in which she wrote: The day before your talk, I had decided to take mine and my unborn child’s life because I really didn’t think anyone cared. When you told the story, it brought tears to my eyes---there are people like you that care about people like me. Thanks for caring.

Psychologists once believe that the motive that caused men to try to get high-level position was the “need for achievement”. But now they believe it is the “need for power”.
Power seekers strive hard to reach positions where they can exercise authority over large number of people. Individual performers who lack this drive are not likely to advance far up the ladder. They usually scorn company politics and devote their energies to other types of activities. The power game is part of management, and it is played best by those who enjoy it most.
One of the least rational(理智的)acts of business organizations is that of hiring managers who have ha high need to exercise authority, and then teaching them that authoritative methods are wrong and that they should be consultative and participative. It is a serious mistake to teach managers that they should adopt styles that don’t agree with their personalities. Yet this is exactly what a large number of business organizations are doing; and it explains, in part, why their management development programs are not effective.
What should be taught is how to exercise their authority in a way that is suitable for the situation and the people involved. They need to learn that the real source of their power is their own knowledge and skill, and the strength of their own personalities, not the authority given to them.
13. Power seekers try hard for power because .
A. they can not make any achievement
B. it can give them a lot of exercise
C. they play best in management
D. they can take control of others
14. The writer thinks it unwise for business organizations to .
A. hire managers who are too eager for power
B. train managers what they should do or not do
C. neglect those who lack the drive to get power
D. hire managers who can’t get on well with others
15. It is a waste of time to teach the hired manager what they should do because .
A. they are not learned enough to understand it
B. they show no interest in knowledge
C. what is taught is not at all practical
D. what is taught is against their personalities
16. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Motive for Power
B. The Training of Managers
C. The Exercise of Power
D. The Real Source of Power

For nearly 500 years ,people have been gazing at Leonardo da Vinci’s portrait of the Mona Lisa with a sense of puzzle. First she is smiling. Then the smile fades. A moment later the smile returns only to disappear again.
Now according to Dr Margaret Livingstone, a Harvard neuroscientist, it is because of how human visual system is designed, not because the expression is ambiguous(模棱兩可的).
In staring at the picture, Dr Livingstone said she noticed a kind of flickering quality. “But it wasn’t until later when I was riding my bike home that realized what it was,” she said. “The smile came and went as a function of where my eyes were.”
The human eye has two different regions for seeing the world, Dr Livingstone said. A central area, called the fovea(視網(wǎng)膜中央凹), is where people see colors, read fine print, pick out details. The peripheral(外圍的)area, surrounding the fovea, is where people see black and white, motion and shadows.
When people look at a face, their eyes spend most of the time focused on the other person’s eyes, thus when a person’s center of gaze is on Mona Lisa’s his less accurate peripheral vision is on her mouth. And because peripheral vision is not interested in detail, it readily picks up shadows from Mona Lisa’s cheekbones. These shadows suggest and increase the curving of a smile. But when the viewers’ eyes go directly to Mona Lisa’s mouth, his central vision does not see the shadows, she said, “You’ll never be able to catch her smile by looking at her mouth,” The flickering quality occurs as people move their eyes around Mona Lisa’s face.
17. We can learn that the flickering quality on the portrait depends on .
A. the expression on the face
B. the moving of our eyes on the face
C. Mona Lisa’s cheekbones
D. the curving of the smile
18. According to the passage when the portrait seems smiling it is because .
A. the portrait is flickering
B. our eyes are moving
C. our center of gaze is on her mouth
D. our peripheral vision picks up the shadows
19. When the smile fades, it is because .
A. our eyes go directly to her mouth
B. our central vision is on away from the eyes
C. the fovea picks out the details
D. the center of gaze is on her eyes
20. Which of the following plays the most important role about the smiling in Mona Lisa?
A. eyes B. mouth C. cheekbones D. nose
