语法:不定式易错点
1) 不定式动词在介词but,except,后面时,如果这些介词之前有行为动词do的各种形式,那么,这些介词后的不定式不带to,否则要带to。
例如: She could do nothing but cry.她只会哭了。
I have no choice but to go.我不得不走。
2)作定语的不定式如果是不及物动词,或者不定式所修饰的名词或代词是不定式动作的地点工具等,不定式后面须有相应的介词。例如:
He is looking for a room to live in . 他在找一个房间住。
There is nothing to worry about. 无什么可担心的。
Please give me a knife to cut with. 请给我把刀子来切东西。
3)当作定语的不定式所修饰的名词或代词是不定式动作的承受者时,不定式既可以用主动语态,也可用被动语态,但其意义有所不同。试比较:
A)Have you anything to send?你有什么东西要寄吗?(不定式tosend的动作执行者是you)
B)Have you anything to be sent?你有什么要(我或别人)寄的东西吗?(不定式to be sent的动作执行者是已被省略的me或someone else)
4)不定式修饰的名词或代词和不定式逻辑上构成主谓关系时,不定式往往用主动形式。
Have you got a key to unlock the door? 你有开门的钥匙吗?
5)不定式和它前面被修饰的名词或代词构成逻辑上的动宾关系,又和该句主语构成逻辑上的主谓关系时,不定式常用主动形式。
I have got a letter to write. 我有封信要写。
He needs a room to live in. 他需要间屋子住。
6)不定式作表语形容词的状语,和句中的主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系时,不定式多用主动形式,这是因为人们往往认为形容词后省去了for one或for people.例如:
He is hard to talk to.很难跟他交谈。
The book is difficult to understand.这本书很难懂。
但如果强调句中的受事者时,亦可用不定式被动句。例如:
The handwriting is very difficult to be read. 这字太难认读了。
The box is to heavy to be lifted. 这箱子太重举不起来。
7)在there be结构中,当说话人考虑的是必须有人去完成某件事时,不定式用主动形式,如果说话人强调的是事情本身必须完成,则用被动形式。
There is a lot of work to do. (Somebody has to do the work.)
There is a lot of work to be done.(The work has to be done.)
请注意下面两个句子的含义是不同的:
There is nothing to do.意为无事可做,感到十分乏味。
There is nothing to be done.意为某东西坏了,无法使之恢复正常。

注意:只有当insist作“坚持(认为)”,“坚持(应该)”,suggest作“建议”解时,从句的动作发生在谓语之后,宾语从句才用虚拟语气。当insist作“坚持”,suggest 作“暗示,表明”解时,宾语从句通常不用虚拟语气。如:
Mike insisted that he had never stolen anything. 迈克坚持说他没有偷任何东西。
The expression on his face suggested that he was very angry. 他脸上的表情说明他很生气。
四、虚拟语气用于表语从句、同位语从句

当条件状语从句表示的行为和主句表示的行为所发生的时间不一致时,动词的形式要根据它所表示的时间来调整.例如:
If you had worked hard, you would be very tired. (从句说的是过去,主句指的是现在.)
一、虚拟语气在简单句中的应用
1.情态动词的过去式用于现在进行时,表示说话人谦虚,客气,有礼貌或语气委婉,常出现在日常生活中。如:
Would you be kind enough to open the door? 请您把门打开,好吗?
2.用于一些习惯表达法中。如:
Would you like a cup of tea? 你想喝杯茶吗? I would rather not tell you. 我倒宁愿不告诉你。
3.用“may+动词原形”表示“祝愿”,may 必须置于句首。如:
May you be happy! 祝你幸福! May you succeed! 祝你成功!
二、虚拟语气用于主语从句
在It is necessary (important, natural, strange, etc) that...和It is desired (suggested, decided, ordered, requested, proposed, etc.)句型中,谓语动词的虚拟语气结构用“should+动词原形”的结构,表示惊奇,不相信,惋惜,理应如此等。如:

I suggest that we (should) have a meeting. We insist that they (should) go with us.
注意:只有当insist作“坚持(认为)”,“坚持(应该)”,suggest作“________”解时,从句的动作发生在谓语之后,宾语从句才用虚拟语气。当insist作“________”,suggest 作“________”解时,宾语从句通常不用虚拟语气。如:
Mike insisted that he had never stolen anything. The expression on his face suggested that he was very angry.
四、虚拟语气用于表语从句、同位语从句
advice, idea, order, demand, plan, proposal, suggestion, request等名词与表语从句和同位语从句连用,其谓语动词一般要用虚拟语气的结构“________”。例如:

4. Grammar
The infinitive used as predictive/ adverbial / attribute / subject/ object
Ⅱ.The analysis of the teaching material
The topic of this unit is “ making a difference”. In this unit, first we can learn about the science subjects and know the importance of each subject. Second, we can get familiar with some great scientists and their famous quotes and achievements, such as Stephen Hawking, Galileo, Albert Einstein, ZhangHeng and so on. Third, we will know how the discoveries and inventions of the great scientists help us better understand the world and improve our life. By knowing this, students are encouraged to study hard, and their love of science and their hope of becoming scientists are inspired..
1.Warming up: It offers us five pictures of foreign great scientists with their famous quotes. By learning their quotes and talking about their achievements, students can know about the key to success and make their minds to be successful.
2. Listening: It contains 4 great minds including the students. In fact, it provides three passages and the students are asked to have a guess who they are, which is so interesting that it may further arouse the students’ enthusiasm in science.
3. Speaking: The students are asked to have a debate about which branch of science is the most important and useful to society. By doing so, students can practice debating skills and use some useful expressions freely. At the same time, they will find that knowledge plays an important part in our daily life.
4.Pre-reading The three questions in pre-reading pave the way for reading.
5.Reading: The text describes Hawking’s disease, dream, achievements and opinions on science and scientific research.
6. Post-reading: The exercises help the students further understand this great scientist.
7. Language study It contains word study and grammar. Students will have a better knowledge of the uses of the infinitive in this part.
8.Integrating skills It includes reading and writing. In the reading passage, students can learn about characteristics of five scientists and their scientific spirit. In the writing part, students are asked to write a paragraph to describe a favourite scientist.
9. Tips Unit One also gives students some advice on how to use the scientific method to learn English.
10. checkpoint
It sums up the uses of the infinitive.
Teaching arrangements
Period 1&2: Warming up, listening and speaking
Period 3&4: reading
Period 5: Language study
Period 6: Integrating skills and writing
Notes:
1. Amending In warming up, it’s too abstract for the students to talk about the quotes, so we deal with it as a unit task to the students at the very beginning―make up a column about scientists and their quotes.
2. Replacement In speaking, the text gives the students the debate: Which branch of science is more important and useful to our society?
It’s too difficult and abstract for the students to carry it out. The reasons are as follows:
1) Their vocabulary is not large enough.
2) It’s too difficult to divide each branch of science in our daily life.
In fact, each branch can’t be divided from the others. Only by combining them together, can we make our world more beautiful.
So we change the topic, and ask the students to talk about what has happened in our daily life. That is , should a nuclear power station be built in Sanmen? This topic can give the students lots of space to talk about.
3. Adding This unit doesn’t give a good sample for the students to write about a scientist. So it is also very difficult for the students to do the writing well. Because of this, we add a research task to the students after finishing the reading material No Boundaries. (What is science and what is the spirit of a scientist? Do research on your favorite scientist and try to find out what makes him /her successful. The students are asked to finish the task by surfing the Internet.) With the help of the first unit task--- to make up a column about scientists and their quotes, it’s possible for the students to write a good article about a favorite scientist.

S: Thomas Alva Edison is famous for the invention of the light bulb.
(Bb) Scientists Contributions
Charles Darwin The Theory of Evolution
Albert Einstein The Theory of Relativity
…
T: Well done. I think you are all interested in science and scientists. What do you think makes a successful scientist? Have a discussion in pairs or groups of four. Then report the results of your discussion.
S: I think it is the way he uses his tools that makes a successful scientist.
S: I think a successful scientist must have much imagination and intelligence and he must be creative and hard-working.
S: I think a successful scientist must be confident, curious and careful. But what I like to know is what made him/her interested in science.
T: Now look at the photos on the screen. And tell me who they are.
S: They are Einstein, Madame Curie and Edison.
T: Good. They are all very famous in the world. You must have read some quotes from them. For example, never leave that until tomorrow, which is from Benjamin Franklin. Now look at the quotes on the screen. Whom do you think these quotes from and do you know what they mean?
S:I think it is from Edison. It means that if we make great efforts to do sth, we’ll succeed. And no matter how clever he is, a person will fail if he doesn’t try his best. In Chinese, it means 天才就是百分之九十九的汗水加上百分之一的灵感。
T: Do you agree with it?
S: Yes.
S: It is from Einstein. It means if you want to succeed, it’s more important for you to have imagination than knowledge. In Chinese, it means 想象力比知识更重要。
S: It is from Madame Curie. It means there are only things to be understood in the world, while there is nothing to be feared. In Chinese, it means 生活中没有什么可怕的东西,只有需要理解的东西。
T: Do you know any other quotes about science and thinking?
S: Wisdom is only found in truth. -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

T: OK. Now lets do some listening practice on P2. We are going to listen to the descriptions of some famous scientists. Read the requirements by yourselves quickly. Listen to the tape for the first time to get a general idea, and then try to finish the exx.
Step III Speaking
T: Now let’s look at the speaking part on P2. Work in groups of five. Each group member represents a branch of science, eg biology, maths, chemistry, physics, computer science. You are going to debate each other to see which branch of science is the most important and useful for society. First you should decide who will represent each branch and then prepare your role card to debate. You can use the expressions.
S: I think biology is the most important because it is essential to protecting the ecological balance and environment. People can’t live without living things. And it goes hand in hand with our life. If there is no science of biology, there would not be medicine.
S: Well, maybe, but I think that chemistry is the most important. Because it is the key to the progress of the human being. Besides, it is chemical reaction that produces many new things.
S: It’s hard to say. There are many physical products. And physics is widely used in many fields, such as medicine, Industry and agriculture. There would be no life without physics.
S: That’s true. But maths is the basic science. You can’t learn physics or chemistry well without a good knowledge of maths. It is a tool in science and engineering.
S: Well, there is no doubt that maths is an important. In my opinion, computer science is the most important in our modern information society. The computer is now an indispensable tool in many fields. It can settle all kinds of problems at a high speed and can help people work easily.

S: According to Hawking, people often think that science is a number of “true” facts and never changes.
T: What are the basic steps of the scientific method?
S: First, scientists observe what they are interested in. To explain what they have seen, they build a theory about how things happen and the causes and effects. Finally, the scientists test the theory to see if it matches what they have seen and if it can predict future events.
T: What is it that Hawking doesn’t like about his speech computer?
S: Hawking doesn’t like his speech computer giving him an American accent.
T: OK. Now you have understood the detailed information. Please pick out the phrases or the sentences that you don’t understand. First have a discussion with your partner and exchange your different points. Then I’ll explain some language points to you.

Step II Word Study
T: Now let’s have a dictation of some words.
T: OK. Now let’s do an ex to see how to explain some words in English, according to the meanings of the sentences. Please turn to P5. Let’s do the ex in Word Study. Choose the closest meaning to the underlined word in each sentence. First we’ll learn a new phrase: use up. Do it by yourself and you can discuss in pairs.
Step III Grammar
Bb:1. He hoped to visit China again .
2. It took a lot of time to finish the report .
3. Please give the boy sth to play with .
4. He went home to see his sick mother .
5. Her wish is to become a pop singer .
T: Tell me the function of the underlined part in each sentence.
S: No.1 is used as the object.
S: No.2 is used as the subject. It is more usual to use formal subject “it” and the infinitive phrase is usually placed at the end of the sentence, that is “it is…to do sth.”.
S: No.3 is used as the attribute.
S: No.4 is used as the adverbial for purpose.
S: No.5 is used as the predicative.
T: Now let’s do an ex on the screen. Group the infinitives according to how they are used.
1.Some things need (1) to be believed (2) to be seen .

S: Subject:(8)
Attribute(2)(3)
Object(1)(9)
Adverbial(4)(5)(6)(7)(10)
Step IV Practice
T: Now let’s do some exercises on P6, Ex2 and Ex3.Rewrite the sentences with “to be done” or “to have been done”.
He wanted the nurses to take care of the patient.
-He wanted the patient to be taken care of.
Because “the patient” is the logical object of “take care of”, the passive infinitive should be used in the second sentence.
The car was reported to have been stolen.
But when the action expressed by the Infinitive happens before the predicate, the perfect infinitive should be used.
Step V Consolidation
T: Now look at the pictures. Who can tell me what Hawking’s dream is from the picture?
S: He wants to get married.
T: Right. Do you know how Hawking made his dream come true according to the passage we learnt in the second period?
