二、语法
动词不定式 （The infinitive）
动词不定式是动词的一种非谓语形式，在句中不能单独做谓语。动词不定式具有动词的性质，它可以有自己的宾语和状语，从而构成动词不定式短语。它还可以有时态和语态的变化即一般式、进行式、完成式和完成进行式；主动语态和被动语态。同时，动词不定式也具有非动词的性质，相当于一个名词、形容词或副词，可以在句中充当主语、宾语、宾语补足语、表语、定语和状语等。 （一） 不定式的时态和语态
主动式 被动式
一般式 to do to be done 进行式 to be doing 无
完成式 to have done to have been done 完成进行式 to have been doing 无
1、一般式
不定式的一般式表示的动作通常与主句谓语的动作同时或几乎同时发生，或是在它之后发生。
To catch the train, we’d better hurry to the station by taxi. We often hear Dick play the piano in the next room.
2、进行式
不定式的进行式表示正在进行的或与谓语动词同时发生的动作。 The teacher happened to be correcting our papers when I came in. They seemed to be discussing something important.
3、完成式
不定式的完成式表示的动作发生在谓语表示的动作之前。 I ’m sorry to have kept you waiting.
We are too young to have seen the old society.
4、完成进行式
不定式的完成进行式表示的动作在谓语表示的动作之前发生并且一直进行着。 I ’m sorry to have been interrupting you.
He is said to have been living in London for twenty years.
5、被动形式
当不定式逻辑上的主语是这个不定式表示的动作的承受者时，不定式一般要用被动形式。不定式的被动形式根据其与谓语动作发生的先后关系，有一般式和完成式两种。
It ’s a great honour to be invited to Mary’s birthday party.
The example appeared to have been mentioned for many times.
6、否定形式
不定式的否定形式由not 或never 加不定式构成。 We ask him not to be a volunteer.
Never to have made any mistakes is impossible.
（二）不定式的用法
动词不定式除了不能单独作谓语外，几乎能充当句子中所有的句子成分。
1、作主语
当动词不定式作主语时，其谓语动词常用单数。 To say something is one thing; to do is another. To concern the disabled is our duty.
当动词不定式在句中作主语时，通常使用it 作形式主语放于句首而真正主语则放在最后，以使句子保持平衡。
It is not easy to master a foreign language.
2、作表语
His task is to teach the workers how to use the machine. His temperature seems to be all right.
3、作宾语
及物动词ask, agree, beg, care, choose, decide, expect, force, fail, hesitate, claim, hope, learn, manage, offer, pretend, plan, promise, refuse, want, wish 等要求动词不定式作宾语。

A rough road for Toyota
Toyota became the world’s largest automaker in 2008. But the Japanese company may have put its quality brand name at risk.
Toyota is recallig millions of cars and trucks around the world because of cases where vehicles have sped up unexpectedly. Last August, a driver in California was unable to stop. The crash killed him and three of his family members.
Toyota says the problem is rare and caused by accelerator pedals becoming stuck open. On January 26, the company stopped sales of eight of its top-selling vehicles in the United States, its largest market. Toyota dealers have been receiving parts to make repairs.
General Motors and Ford both reported increased sales in January. But Toyota sales in the United States have fallen, and so has its stock price. 1. Toyota says it expects costs and lost sales from its recent safety recalls to total two billion dollars by the end of March. Louis Lataif, who spent twenty-seven years in the car industry at Ford, said, “It ’s Toyota’s biggest such recall. It ’s voluntary , not mandated. 2. So, in that respect, they are doing something fairly daring, namely, taking the hit of shutting production and correcting the vehicles of which they have stopped sales.”
Toyota says it found a software problem that could briefly affect the “feel ” of the anti-lock brakes on rough or slippery roads. It says it fixed the brake problem last month. But a growing number of legal cases claim Toyota knew for a long time about the sudden
acceleration issue with other vehicles. The problem reportedly has led to more than eight hundred crashes and nineteen deaths in the past ten years.
The recall has also roused questions about all the computer control systems used in modern cars.
1、What made Toyota begin the recalling of millions of cars and trucks? A. Unreasonable design B. A software problem C. Sudden acceleration D. The cause of safety 2、From the third paragraph we can infer that _______ . A. Americans like to buy Toyota best B. no restriction on cars in the US
C. Americans are the richest in the world D. Toyota is a responsible car dealer
3、What can we learn about Louis Lataif’s opinion about Toyota’s recalling? A. Toyota should be blamed for its fault. B. He appreciated Toyota’s recalling deeds. C. Toyota acted without much consideration. D. The recall couldn’t affect Toyota’s brands. 4、What will the recall bring to Toyota? A. It will bring Toyota brands back. B. It will bring Toyota to shut down
C. It will bring Toyota back from the US market. D. It will bring huge loss to Toyota.

When the Japanese attacked America’s ships at Pearl Harbor on 7 Decamber 1941, they did it secrecly. The makers of a new film about those events have behaved differently.
1. The noise about Pearl Harbor, made by Disney , was due to climax with a premiere before the film opens in cinemas across the US at the start of the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
With Ben Affleck as its main star, the film seems certain to become a success in the United States at least.
At almost three hours in length, it promises to be a good old Hollywood movie. There is a love story. Affleck and his co-star, Josh Hartnett, both fall in love with the navy nurse, Kate Beckinsale and, of course, there is much human courage and American love of their country .
As a result, Disney will be accused of fictionalizing history . Performances of actual events on film always cause argument.
Bits of the story are deliberately not dealt with by the film. 2. It does not address the theory held by some historians that President Franklin Roosevelt knew about Japan ’s intention to sink the ships in Pearl Harbor. It is said he did nothing, aware that such a blow would allow him to take America into the Second World War.
Japan remains sensitive about being accused of wartime atrocities. And Disney is sensitive about its its business in Japan, where it has a theme park.
Not all the pre-print word on the film has been full of praise. A reviewer for Newsweek, who was given an early preview, acknowledged that the 40-minete sequence showing the attack itself was powerful. The attack comes quite late in the film, however, and the reviewer was less impressed with the characters and the love story. “Almost every line of the dialogue sounds like it came from an old movie,” the reviewer wrote.
1、From the first paragraph we can infer that the Memorial Day refers to ________. A. a day people memorize the dead in wars B. a day the United States was founded
C. a congratulation day on the victories in World War II D. a day people memorize their ancestors
2、From paragraphs 3 and 4 we know that Ben Affleck ________. A. experienced the Pearl Harbor Incident B. palyed very well in Pearl Harbor C. loved Kate Beckinsale deeply D. may be a popular film star
3、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The theme of Pearl Harbor is about a love story between two men and a woman. B. Disney company has made Japan angry for making the movie Pearl Harbor. C. Japan never acknowledged what the Japanese army did in World War II. D. Disney tried to make the movie truly describe the Pearl Harbor Incident.
4、What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The powerful attack left no impression on the reviewer. B. People have different opinions of the movie.
C. The film didn’t show people what its main point was. D. The dislogue in the movie is properly designed. 5、Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The story of Pearl Harbor B. The true fact of Pearl Harbor C. The opinions about Pearl Harbor D. Pearl Harbor, an exciting love story
