Section ⅣGrammar & Writing
及物动词和不及物动词
一、及物动词和不及物动词的概念
动词的种类比较复杂,大致可以根据其在句子中的功能分为及物动词与不及物动词。

及物动词是指后面必须跟宾语意义才完整的实义动词。

不及物动词指的是本身意义完整后面不需要跟宾语的实义动词。

The driver failed to see another car in time.
司机没能及时看见另一辆车。

She spoke at the meeting yesterday evening.
她昨天晚上在会上发表讲话。

二、及物动词和不及物动词的用法
1．及物动词
(1)后接宾语,作为宾语的可以是名词、代词、不定式、动名词和宾语从句。

He reached Paris the day before yesterday.
他前天到达巴黎。

①常见的要加不定式作宾语的动词有：
decide/determine, learn, want, expect/hope/wish, refuse, manage, care, pretend, offer, promise, choose, plan, agree, ask/beg, help, afford等。

She pretended not to see me when I passed by.
当我经过的时候,她假装没看见我。

We agreed to meet here but so far she hasn’t turned up yet.
我们同意在这儿见面但是到现在她还没出现。

②常见的要跟动名词作宾语的动词有：
consider, suggest/advise, admit, delay/put off, fancy, avoid, miss, mind, deny, enjoy, imagine等。

We’re considering buying a new car.
我们在考虑买一辆新车。

You should avoid mentioning his divorce.
你应该避免提及他离婚的事。

③动词不定式作动词tell, show, understand, explain, teach, learn, advise, discuss, ask, decide, wonder, find out等词的宾语时,常构成“动词＋how, what, whether, where, when, who等引导词＋to do结构”。

He showed us how to do the work.
＝He showed us how we should do the work.
他告诉我们怎样做这个工作。

I don’t know what to do.
＝I don’t know what I’ll do.
我不知道该怎么办。

(2)后接双宾语。

有些动词后面可以接两个宾语,即指人的间接宾语和指物的直接宾语,这两个宾语称为“双宾语”,可以接双宾语的动词有accord(给予), assign(分配), award(授予), bring(带来), give(给), hand(交给), leave(留给), lend(借给), offer(提供), make(使,制作), cook(做饭), build(建造)等。

Please hand me the book over there.
请把那儿的书递给我。

如果有些动词的间接宾语位于直接宾语的后面,则由介词to,for 等引出,成为间接宾语。

由to 引出的间接宾语的动词有give, show, pass, lend, tell 等；由for引出的动词有buy, make, cook, get, sing, read 等。

The pianist gave the pupils some advice.
＝The pianist gave some advice to the pupils.
钢琴家给了学生许多建议。

(3)后接复合宾语。

①感官动词或词组see, watch, observe, look at, hear, listen to, notice等后面的宾补有三种形式,即动词原形(不带to的不定式)、现在分词和过去分词。

现在分词表主动或正在进行,过去分词表被动或完成,动词原形表主动和完成。

I heard her sing an English song just now.
刚才我听见她唱了一首英文歌。

I heard her singing an English song when I passed by her room yesterday.
昨天经过她房间时,我听见她在唱英文歌。

I heard the English song sung many times.
我多次听到有人唱这首英文歌。

②leave后接三种形式作宾补时,其中leave保留了原来之意“留下”,但表达的确切之意应是“使……处于某种状态”。

leave sb. to do sth.留下某人做某事(不定式表示将来动作)
leave sth. to be done 留下某事要做(不定式表示将来动作)
leave sb. doing sth.让某人一直做某事(宾语和宾补之间是逻辑主谓关系,表示动作正在进行)
leave sth. undone 留下某事未做(宾语和宾补之间是逻辑被动关系,表示被动和完成,一般以undone, unfinished, unsettled, untouched为多)
The guests left most of the dishes untouched, because they didn’t taste delicious.
客人们没有动大部分菜,因为它们尝起来不可口。

(被动,完成)
We hurriedly ended our meeting, leaving many problems to be settled.
我们匆匆忙忙地结束了会议,留下了很多问题等待解决。

(被动,将来)
③have, get后接三种形式作宾补时,表示“使、让、叫” 之意。

a．have sb.do sth./get sb.to do sth.使/让/叫某人去做某事
Mother had me go to the shop and buy some salt.
妈妈让我去商店买点盐。

I can’t get him to stop smoking.He won’t listen to me.
我不能让他停止抽烟。

他不听我的。

b．have/get sb.doing使/让某人持续地做某事(现在分词表示动作正在进行)
have/get sth.doing使某物开始行动(或运转)起来
The captain had the soldiers moving toward the front after a short rest.
休息了片刻之后,上尉让士兵们开始朝前线行军。

“have sb.doing”若用于否定句中,其中have有“容忍”之意。

Don’t have the water running all the time.
不要让水流个不停。

c．have sth.done＝get sth.done “使/让某事由别人去做” (叫/让某人做某事) I’ll have/get my bike repaired tomorrow.
明天我叫人把我的自行车修理了。

此外,have sth.done还表示“使遭受……” 之意。

Tom had his leg broken while playing football.
踢足球的时候,汤姆的腿受伤了。

Mr.Smith had his house broken into while he was away on holiday.
当史密斯先生去度假的时候,家里遭到抢劫了。

④在主动语态句中,动词make, have, let, see, watch, hear, feel等后接动词不定式作宾语补足语时,动词不定式不加to。

但变成被动语态时后面的不定式都加上to。

The boss made them work ten hours a day.(主动语态)
They were made to work ten hours a day by the boss.(被动语态)
老板让他们一天工作十个小时。

⑤动词后跟带to的不定式作补语的有：advise, allow, ask/beg, forbid, force, get, invite, love, order, persuade, prefer, require, teach, tell, want, warn, wish 等。

The doctor warned him not to eat too much meat.
医生警告他不要吃太多的肉。

⑥在动词allow, advise, forbid, permit等动词后直接跟动名词形式作宾语,如果后面有名词或代词作宾语,其后用动词不定式作宾语补足语。

allow/advise/forbid/permit doing sth.
allow/advise/forbid/permit sb.to do sth.
We don’t allow smoking here.
我们不允许在这儿抽烟。

We don’t allow students to smoke.
我们不允许学生抽烟。

(4)及物动词的语态。

大多数及物动词有主动语态和被动语态两种语态,但有些及物动词不能用被动语态,主要有以下几种情况：
①当句子的谓语动词表示“拥有”、“容纳”、“缺少”等概念的及物动词。

The millionaire possesses great wealth.
这个百万富翁拥有大量的财富。

②当句子的谓语动词表示“适合”的及物动词。

We should fit our deeds to our words.
我们必须言行一致。

③当句子的谓语动词表示“相互作用” 的及物动词。

No one equals him in intelligence.
他的智力是无与伦比的。

2．不及物动词
不及物动词没有被动语态；后面要想接宾语的话,其后则要加相应的介词。

I listened but could not hear any sound.
我听了但没有听到任何的声音。

Everyone listened to the lecture with great interest.
每一个人都很有兴趣地听讲座。

对接高考
If steel is heavier than water, why are ships able to float ____________ the sea?
如果铁比水重,为什么船能够漂浮在海面上？
on解析： float为不及物动词,后面接宾语要加相应介词,根据句意是在海面上,故填on。

有些不及物动词(其主语大都指物)的主动语态可以表示被动意义。

这种不及物动词有下列几种：
(1)某些连系动词,如smell, taste, sound, prove, feel等。

The flowers smell sweet.
这些花闻起来非常香。

The food tastes nice.
这个食物尝起来不错。

(2)某些与can’t, won’t等连用的不及物动词,如move, lock, shut, open等。

It can’t move.
它不能动。

The door won’t shut.
门不能关。

(3)某些可与well, easily等副词连用的不及物动词,如read, write, wash, clean, draw, burn, cook, photograph等。

The cloth washes well.
这种布非常好洗。

The poem reads smoothly.
这首诗读起来非常流畅。

3．兼作及物动词和不及物动词的动词
既可作及物动词又可作不及物动词的动词或短语主要有：answer/answer for; benefit/benefit from; pay/pay for; adjust/adjust to; attend/attend to; check/check in(to)/check out; believe/believe in; apply (to)/apply for; call/call on等。

(1)意义不变的动词

Ⅱ阅读理解
A very close friend phoned me this weekend and asked a specific question about earning a few extra dollars each month online. For the benefit of keeping her name and details secret, I will call her Annie in this article. You see Annie suffers from a severe form of inaction syndrome; she is full of great ideas that never materialize into cash and she is having a problem finding the link that will achieve this.
Somebody once said that knowledge is power, yet we constantly find from readers of our website that they have knowledge to burn and still do not have power. Just look at the academics in universities all around the world; they have so much knowledge that they should control the wealth of the world. In truth they work for peanuts and very few of them ever achieve the power of independence. So knowledge certainly isn’t power. Therefore, we should change that “wise” statement to：“Power is the ability to use knowledge to your own benefit.”
That paragraph was inserted because Annie is a typical academic—strong on talk and plans but a little weaker on actions. In the period of a twenty­minute conversation, she expounded(阐述) a whole list of plans and ideas to make the extra few hundred dollars each month she was seeking. Any one of her many ideas was a potential money maker, but she had taken action on none of them. At one time she said,“I’m lost as to what to do next.”
That was my cue(提示) to get involved.“Take action,”I advised.
All that is wrong is that Annie was inactive without knowing it. In five minutes we drew up a plan of action and agreed to talk again in a month to review progress. When we finished the conversation, she sounded much happier and more motivated than when we started. Annie just needs a little nudge into beneficial action.
【解题导语】作者通过自己一个朋友的例子说明,要想获得成功,不仅要有知识、有创意,更重要的是要采取行动。

1．What’s the problem with Annie?
A．She has too many great ideas.
B．She never puts her ideas into practice.
C．She suffers from a strange illness.
D．She knows little about making money online.
B解析：细节理解题。

根据文章第一段最后一句可知,Annie有很多不错的想法,但她从来没有把这些想法变为现实并让这些想法为自己创造财富,这是她的主要问题。

2．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Annie will succeed in later life.
B．Annie is going towards success.
C．Annie doesn’t realize her problems.
D．Annie talks too much in daily life.
C解析：推理判断题。

根据文章最后一段第一句可知,Annie还没有认识到自己的问题,她的想法仍旧处于空谈阶段。

3．The underlined word “nudge”in the last paragraph probably means “________”．
A．push B．advice
C．training D．power
A解析：词义猜测题。

根据文章最后一段中的“she sounded much happier and more motivated”可知,与作者交谈后,Annie听上去更开心,也更积极了。

由此可推知,Annie需要别人的激励,需要别人推她一把。

4．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To describe his friend’s experience.
B．To prove the power of knowledge.
C．To explain inaction syndrome.
D．To persuade us to take action.
D解析：写作意图题。

作者通过自己一个朋友的例子说明,要想获得成功,最重要的不仅是拥有知识,而是要采取行动。

因此,作者写本文的目的是鼓励我们采取行动。

Ⅲ完形填空
A woman professor was giving a lesson to her students on__1__management. As she raised a glass of water, everyone in the class__2__they would be asked the “half ­empty or half­full” question.__3__,that was not the case. With a smile on her face, she asked the students, “How much do you think this glass of water weighs？”
Answers called out__4__from eight to twenty ounces(盎司)．
She quieted the students down and then replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t__5__．But it counts how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my__6__. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb. In each case, the__7__of the glass of water doesn’t chang e, but the __8__I hold it, the heavier it becomes. Why？”
Lost in__9__, all the students kept silent and listened to the professor carefully.
“Our stresses and__10__in life are like that glass of water. If we__11__our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will feel exhausted, even unable to __12__．”
__13__you have to do is put all your burdens down, as __14__in the evening as possible. Don’t carry them through the evening into the night; by doing this, we can get__15__ next morning and are__16__to move forward.
More often than not, life gets terrible when we__17__too much. And the moment you__18__your burdens, you’ll find yourself feeling much more relaxed.
So rather than being upset and feeling__19__for yourself, start doing something about it. After all, life is too short to __20__yourself to anything that is not making you happy.

因此选C。

19．A.happy B．sorry

feel sorry for oneself 意为“自我怜悯”,为固定搭配。

因此选B。

Two of the saddest words in the English language are
“if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having
to say those words, because they convey regrets, lost
opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do
to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding(衬垫) to the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had forgone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he was 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t miss an opportunity to see him.
I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know t hat I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well­being.
【解题导语】“我”认为英语中最悲伤的两个词是“if only”,因为它们表达了遗憾。

父亲在“我”小时候经常告诉我们花费额外的时间也要把事情做好来避免遗憾,“我”听从父亲的建议并认为这样做是对的。

4．Why does the writer regard “if only” as two of the saddest words in the English language?
A．Because people use them when they feel sad.
B．Because they express regrets and disappointment in life.
C．Because they remind the writer of some sad experiences.
D．Because they mean sadness in the English language.
B解析：细节理解题。

由第一段中的“Two of the saddest words in the English language are ‘if only’... because they convey regrets, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.”可知,“我”认为英语中最令人伤心的两个词是“if only”,因为这两个词表达了后悔、错失的机会、错误和失望,故选B项。

5．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “forgone” in Paragraph 3?
A．Given up. B．Come across.
C．Got through. D．Held back.
A解析：词义猜测题。

该词所在的句子表达的意思是：我们都认识这样的人,他们在失去所爱之人后会后悔错失了说“我爱你”或“我原谅你”的机会。

所以画线词表示“失去了”,和短语give up意思接近。

故选A项。

6．The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ________．
A．see a doctor B．finish her work
C．join a celebration D．accompany her father
D解析：细节理解题。

题干中的关键信息“decided to go to her office”对应原文中的“I had decided to go to work”,由此定位到倒数第二段。

从倒数第二段可以看出,“我”知道父亲要去自己办公室对面看眼科医生时,本来打算按原计划休假,但突然意识到父亲已经84岁了,所以“我”决定即便是自己的休息日,为了陪父亲,也会去上班。

故选D项。

7．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Advice from My Father
B．Avoidance of Saying “If Only”
C．The “Extra Minute” Rule
D．The Importance of Emotional Well­being
B解析：标题归纳题。

根据首尾段的第一句话及文章大意可知,本文主要是针对避免说英语中最伤心的两个词“if only” 进行阐述的,所以B项“避免说‘if only’” 符合全文内容。

For many years,Bruce Bexler dreamed of going where no human had gone before.He wanted to cut a path through unexplored lands and discover rare,exotic species.
That might sound like an impossible dream,but Bexler turned it into a reality.
In December 2015,he and a team of Australian and American scientists ventured into an isolated tropical rain forest on the island of New Guinea.They were the first people ev er to enter the mist­covered region.“As time was lim ited,we were dropped in by helicopter.Once we were on the ground,there were no trails anywhere；it was really hard to get around,” Bexler says.
Within minutes of landing,the team spotted a black chic ken­like bird with strange orange skin hanging from its neck.The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature was a type of honeyeaters—the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years.
The honeyeater wasn’t the only surprise for the scientists.They discovered。
