不定式作状语一、要点精讲不定式作状语可以表示目的、结果和原因等。1.目的状语:作目的状语时,不定式的逻辑主语通常也是全句的主语,往往意为“为了;想要”。不定式作状语有三种形式:todo、inordertodo、soastodo肯定:toinorderto+动词原形soastosoastodo(一般不用在句首)Inorderto/Togetthereontime,theystartedearly.=Theystartedearlysoastogetthereontime.为了按时到那里,他们早早就出发了。否定:inordernotto+动词原形soasnottoInordernottofailtheexam,youhavetoworkhard.=youhavetoworkhardsoasnottofailtheexam.为了考试及格,你要努力。2.结果状语不定式做结果状语有三种形式:too…to、(not)…enoughtodo、so+adj./adv.+astodo(=such+adj.+n.+astodo)Thechildwastooyoungtolookafterhimself.Thechildwasnotoldenoughtolookafterhimself.Thechildwassoyoungasnottolookafterhimself.那孩子太小不能照顾自己。Mikewassuchayoungchildasnottolookafterhimself.麦克那么小还不能照顾自己。不定式做结果状语有时表示“出乎意料的结果”。经常与only、never连用。Heliftedtherockonlytodropitonhisownfeet.他搬起石头砸了自己的脚。Theboylefthome,nevertoreturn.那男孩离家出走了,再也没有回来。注意:不定式和现在分词作结果状语的区别:不定式作结果状语往往表示意想不到的结果,而现在分词作结果状语则表示自然而然的结果。Itrainedheavilyinthesouth,causingseriousfloodinginseveralprovinces.南方下了大雨,在几个省造成了严重洪灾。3.原因状语(多用于表示情绪或态度的形容词后面)。这些形容词主要有:happy,kind,surprised,frightened,angry,shocked,glad,sorry,delighted,disappointed等。Iamsorrytohavekeptyouwaiting.对不起,让你久等了。4.不定式作状语,其逻辑主语(即不定式动作的发出者)要与句子的主语一致。ToimprovehisEnglish,heisworkinghardatit.为了提高英语,他正努力学习英语。但是在一些句子中,动词不定式的逻辑主语可以不与句子的主语一致,这些用法已经形成了固定结构,在句子中做插入语或独立成分。Totellyouthetruth,youareunfitforthework.说实在的,你不适合干这工作。Tobeginwith,pleaseallowmetointroducemyself.首先请允许我做自我介绍。Tomakealongstoryshort,weagreedtodisagree.长话短说,我们同意各自保留不同的看法。类似的短语还有:tobebrief简言之tobeexact准确地说tobefrankwithyou老实对你说吧tomakealongstoryshort长话短说nottospeakof更不用说……nottomentionsth.更不必说……tomakematters/thingsworse更糟糕的是……走出误区:1.注意soasto一般不能用在句首;2.不定式作状语时,辨清其逻辑主语与句子的主语是否一致,除一些固定结构外,作状语的不定式的逻辑主语是句子的主语;3.辨清非谓语动词在句子中所做的成分,如果做目的状语,只能用不定式。二、典例剖析【例题1】_____theearlyflight,weorderedataxiinadvanceandgotupearly.A.CatchingB.CaughtC.TocatchD.Catch【答案】C【解析】句意:为了赶上早班航班,我们提前预定了出租车,并且起得很早。本题考查非谓语动词作状语。根据上下文逻辑关系可知设空处为目的状语,故选C项。【难度】一般【例题2】Anxiously,shetookthedressoutofthepackageandtriediton,only_________itdidn’tfit.A.tofindB.foundC.findingD.havingfound【答案】A【解析】句意:她焦急地从包里拿出裙子试穿,结果却发现不合身。only+动词不定式,表示意想不到的结果。这里是不定式作结果状语。found是过去分词,常常表示被动和完成的含义;finding是现在分词,常常表示主动和进行;havingfound是-ing的完成式,表示动作发生在谓语动作之前。【难度】较难三、精题精练1.SometimesIactasalisteningearforfellowstudents______whatisbotheringthem.A.totalkoverB.talkedoverC.talkoverD.havingtalkedover2.—Ihopetotakethecomputercourse.—Goodidea.____moreaboutit,visitthiswebsite.A.TofindoutB.FindingoutC.TobefindingoutD.Havingfoundout3._______ourselvesfromthephysicalandmentaltensions,weeachneeddeepthoughtandinnerquietness.A.HavingfreedB.FreedC.TofreeD.Freeing4.Lastnight,thereweremillionsofpeople_______theopeningceremonyliveonTV.A.watchB.towatchC.watchedD.watching5.thedifficultmathsproblem,IhaveconsultedProfessorRussellseveraltimes.A.WorkingoutB.WorkedoutC.ToworkoutD.Workout6._____thefatalaccidenthappeningagain,thepublicsuggestedthatpropermeasurestoavoidit.A.Toprevent;betakenB.Prevented;shouldbetakenC.Toprevent;shouldtakeD.Preventing;wastaken7.Brendanhurriedlygottotheairport,only______theplanehadtakenoff.A.tofindB.tofindingC.tobefindingD.tohavefound8.Thedoctordideverythinghecould____thepatient.A.saveB.tosaveC.savingD.saved9.Lizdecidedtohangafewpicturesonthewall_______theroom.A.decoratedB.decoratingC.todecorateD.decorate10.______hisopinionsmoreclearly,heusedsomebodylanguage.A.ExpressB.ExpressingC.ExpressedD.Toexpress11._____morevisitors,theBeijingGardenExpoParkgivesrosestovisitingcouples.A.AttractedB.AttractingC.ToattractD.Havingattracted12.Wewillhavesix-dayholidayduringthecomingAPECmeetingstrafficontheroads.A.toeaseB.easingC.easeD.havingeased13.____toeveryonetheimportanceandvalueofthesehistoricsites,thegovernmenthasstrengthenedregulationstoprotectthem.A.TostressB.StressingC.HavingstressedD.Stressed14._____inthesportsworld,asportsmanneedstotrainconstantlytokeephimselfinbestcondition.A.SurviveB.SurvivingC.TosurviveD.Survived15.Somecountrieshavebannedsmokinginpublicplaces______publichealth.A.improveB.toimproveC.improvingD.improved16.--HowcanImakeprogressinmystudy,Sir?--_______aneffectivelearner,youshouldfindsomegoodapproaches.A.BeingB.HavingbeenC.TohavebeenD.Tobe17.Theexperiencedteacherstrytheirbest_____theyoungerones_____experience.A.tohelp…gettingB.help…getC.tohelp…togetD.helping…get18.---Iwasscoldedbytheteacher.---Youaresosillynot____yourhomework.A.tohavedoneB.todoC.doingD.havingdone19.Ihurriedlyranbackhome,_______thatIwascheatedbymyclassmates.ThenIjustremembereditwasAprilDay!A.onlytotellB.onlytellingC.onlytohavetoldD.onlytobetold20.Generally,_____toauniversityinwesterncountries,internationalstudentsneedtoprovetheirabilitytospeakEnglish.A.admittingB.admittedC.beingadmittedD.tobeadmitted21.Mygrannydoescrosswordpuzzleseachday______hermindsharp.A.tokeepB.keptC.havingkeptD.tobekept22.I’vemadeseveraltravelplansforourvacation,butI’llleaveittoyou______one.A.choosingB.chosenC.tochooseD.choose23.Whatdoyouenjoy____yoursparetime?A.killB.tokillC.killingD.killed24._____itsroleinsocialeducation,thePalaceMuseumisquittingitsadmissionfeeforspecialgroupsoncertaindates.A.FulfillB.HavingfulfilledC.Tofulfil
