托福备考中,词汇是一个很终于要的环节,之前我们讲了一下不定式作宾语、主语,下面接着讲一下不定式作表语。
作表语:当句子的主语是purpose, aim, duty, goal, hope, plan, suggestion, idea, intention, problem, mistake, reaction等表示“意图”、“目的”、“功能”等意思的词时,一般由不定式作表语
如:His only purpose in life is to seek truth.
Our plan was to raise money for the new project.
例题:
(1)
Before the invention of the clock, people had to reliable on the celestial bodies to tell time.
应改为:rely.
解释:此处to是构成不定式的标志词, 之后应接动词原形
(2)
Chinese immigrants began ---- to the United States in large numbers in the middle of the nineteenth century.
(A) come
(B) to come
(C) to have come
(D) have come
答案:B
解释:空格处需要began的宾语,可以是动名词或不定式,A, D是动词原形,可先排除;C是不定式的完成式,不符合begin的用法;只有B正确
(3)
The central purpose of management is for making every action or decision help achieve a carefully chosen goal.
应改为:to make
解释:主语purpose决定应用不定式作表语,故改为to make 。
