即境活用
11.to our surprise,the painting considered________should have won the prize.
a.being copied b.having been copied
c.to have copied d.to have been copied
解析:選d。considered是過去分詞作定語修飾the painting。consider后面要求接不定式作賓(主)補,故可排除a和b。the painting和copy之間存在被動的關系,且copy動作發生在consider之前,故答案為d。此句意為“令我們吃驚的是,那幅被認為是抄襲的繪畫作品竟獲了獎。”
12.aids is said________the biggest health challenge to both men and women in that area over the past few years.
a.that it is b.to be
c.that it has been d.to have been
解析:選d。根據后面的時間狀語over the past few years知,此處用完成式。sb.be said to do表示“……據說做某事”的意思。
2【教材原句】 they say that the lowtemperature lake is unlikely to be able to support such large living creatures.(p52)
他們說,水溫這樣低的湖泊不可能生存有體形如此巨大的動物。
【句法分析】 (1)本句可以轉化為:they say that it is unlikely that the lowtemperature lake is able to support such large living creatures.
(2) 本句使用了be unlikely to do sth.這一結構,它的用法等同于be likely to do sth.。主要有下述用法:
主語(具體人/物)+be (un)likely to do sth.
it(形式主語)+be (un)likely to do sth.
it(形式主語)+be (un)likely+thatclause
【注意】 likely與unlikely不能用于it’s likely/unlikely for sb.to do sth.,而possible與probable是可以用于it’s possible/probable/impossible for sb.to do sth.。另外,(be)possible與(be)probable的主語不能是具體的某人或某物。

即境活用
13.—did you look up the time of trains to shanghai?
—yes,the earliest train is________to leave at 5∶30 a.m..
a.likely b.about
c.possible d.due
解析:選d。be due to do意為“應該……/預期的”;be about to do不和時間狀語連用;possible主語應為it;而likely與句意不符。
