题目列表(包括答案和解析)
1.Seeing is believing.眼见为实(百闻不如一见)。

如果选D,则上面试题的意思是:我几乎不能想像彼得在五天内就横渡了大西洋。请做下面的英语试题:

用作主语的动词不定式与动名词
[问](1)Play football not only makes us grow up tall and strong but also gives us a sense of fair play and team spirit.(全国高考,98-89)(改错题)
标准答案是将Play改为Playing。这当然是正确的。但是,改为To Play就是错误的吗?
(2)I was often a little tired after a day's work and watch TV demands very little effort.(全国高考,99-88)(改错题)
标准答案是将watch改为watching,能否改为to watch呢?
[答]应当肯定标准答案是正确的。但是,将Play改为To play和将watch改为to watch也同样是正确的。标准答案应分别给出Playing /To play,watching /to watch。因为动名词和动词不定式都可以作句子或从句的主语。它们的具体用法如下:
A.当动词所表示的动作不是指某个特定的行为,而是指一般的行为(具有泛指意义)时,既可以使用动名词作主语,也可以使用动词不定式作主语(而上面试题编写者却认为,只有动名词才能用于此种含义):
3.I magine yourself(to be)on a desert island.想像一下你在一个荒岛上。
2.I imagine your daughter to be all grown upnow....我想像你女儿现在已完全长成大人了……
1.I imagined her to be older.我把她想像得更老一些。
3.I can't imagine my marrying a girl of that sort.我难以想像我会娶那样的姑娘。
但是,就孤立的句子而论,选项B和选项D也都是正确的。因为imagine也可以用在imagine +宾语+to be /to do的结构中。CGEL中明确指出,imagine可以用在宾语+to+不定式结构中。下面是我们收集到的一些实例:
2.Can you imagine George cooking the dinner?你能想像乔治做饭时的情景吗?
1.Imagine going to a doctor with something wrong with your heart.想像一下你的心脏出了毛病去看医生的情景。
5.It doesn't matter if you're late-we'll wait for you.你来晚了也没有关系---我们一定等着你。
[问]I can hardly imagine Peter _____across the Atlantic Ocean in five days.
A.sail B.to sail
C.sailing D.to have sailed(全国高考,91-34)
[答]首先应当肯定选项C是正确的,因为imagine的常见用法是imagine +V-ing或imagine +带逻辑主语的V-ing。例如:
4.It's still uncertain if(whether)he's coming or not.他是否来还不能肯定。
