2012年托福考试语法辅导:不定式作定语

中华考试网   2012-02-03   【
不定式作定语
  不定式常接在名词之后作定语,如:
  something to read, nothing to do, anything to declare,
  a lot to complain of, the right person to talk to, etc.
  由上述例子不难看出不定式和被修饰词间有动宾关系,因此不及物动词之后必须加上相搭配的介词(例如上面的complain + of, talk +to)
  不定式定语还可表示将来的含义,如:in the years to follow, the meeting to be held in June
  针对TOEFL解题需注意下列情况:
  1. 由序数词修饰的名词之后多用不定式作定语,
  如:the first one to arrive, the last to mention, the only thing to talk about
  例句:Not only was the Mariner spacecraft the first to fly beyond Mars, but it also survived in space well past its expected lifetime of twenty-one months.
  2. 改错题常出现名词之后直接接动词,且二者间不是主谓关系而是动宾关系,此处必定有错,应在动词前加to,变为不定式作定语
  如:Do you have anything declare (错)
  Do you have anything to declare (对) (你有什么东西需要申报的吗?)
  3. 少量题中出现了类似定语从句的不定式作定语,其基本形式为:介词+关系代词+不定式,如:Here is a blue pen, with which to fill out the form.
  例题
  (1)
  An innovator, ballerina Augusta Maywood was ---- a traveling company.
  (A) to form the first
  (B) the first to form
  (C) who formed the first
  (D) forming the first
  答案:B
  解释:空格前是句子的主谓语, 空格处需要was的表语, first不能和a连用, 故A、C、D肯定不对; B中the first作表语, 省略了后面的person, 不定式to form…作定语, the first to do是常见用法, 表示第一个做某事的人
