1. ★不定式作后置定语
The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely followed
by Julia Smith from Britain. 第一个到达的是从哥伦比亚来的托尼?加西亚,随后紧跟着
的是英国的朱莉娅?史密斯。(教材P26) 【句式分析】
句中"the first+名词+to do"表示"第一个做……的",动词不定式作后置定语,修饰person。 【语法重点】
当中心词是序数词或被序数词修饰时,常用不定式作后置定语。不定式作定语与被修饰词之间存在关系如下: 1. 主谓关系。
?In my family,my mother is always the first one to get up.在我家我妈妈总是第一个起床。
2. 动宾关系。如果不定式里的动词是不及物动词,则要加上适当的介词或副词,才能直接修饰前面的宾语。
?He has a lot of books to read. 他有很多书要看。 ?She has nothing to worry about. 她没什么可担心的。
3. 动状关系。被修饰词如果是不定式里动词的状语,多用介词短语。由于被修饰词前没有介词,所以只能在不定式里的动词后加介词。 ?I have no house to live in. 我没有房子住。
4. 不存在主谓、动宾、动状关系。被修饰词与不定式里的动词不存在主谓、动宾、动状关系的,被修饰词多是些抽象名词。
?I have no time to go to the movie. 我没有时间去看电影。
不定式作定语的常考情形:
1. 当中心词是序数词或被序数词、形容词最高级,the next, the only, the last等修饰时,常用不定式作后置定语。
2. 被用来修饰的词是抽象名词,常见的有:ability, belief, chance, idea, promise, attempt, way等。
?—The last one to arrive pays the meal. 最后一个到的请客。 —Agreed! 同意!
?The ability to express an idea is as important as the idea itself. 表达思想的能力和思想本身一样重要。 【易错点津】
如果不定式是一个不及物动词,或者不定式所修饰的名词或代词是不定式动作的地点、工具等时,不定式后面要有必要的介词。
?I think this room is the best place to study in. 我认为这个房间是学习的最佳地点。

However, people from places like Spain, Italy or South American countries
approach others closely and are more likely to touch them. 不过,来自西班牙、意大利或南美国家的人会站在离别人很近的地方,而且很可能会用身体接触对方。(教材P26) 本句中含有句型:be likely to do...,该句型表示"有可能做某事"。 【语法重点】
表示"可能"的常见句型: be likely to do...可能做…… It is likely that...可能……
It is possible for sb to do...某人可能做……
It is possible that...可能…… It is probable that...可能…… Not likely不会;不可能 【特别提醒】
1. likely既可以用人也可以用物作主语。
2. possible和probable表示客观上有可能,不能用人作主语。probable的可能性比possible大。
1. 根据提示语填空

They are likely to be fired by the company because of their fault.(用it作形式主语改写)
_____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】
1. is not likely to attend; possible; probable/likely
2. It is likely that they will be fired by the company because of their fault. 3. ★way作先行词时,定语从句的引导词
These actions are not good or bad, but are simply ways in which cultures
have developed. 这些行为都无所谓好与坏,只不过是文化发展的不同方式而已。(教材P26) 【句式分析】
在本句中,in which cultures have developed是定语从句,用来修饰ways。 【语法重点】
way充当先行词时,一定要注意其在定语从句中所作的成分。如果way作宾语或表语,关系词要用that或which可以省略;如果way作状语,关系词要用that,in which或不填。
