考点1:不定式被动式to be done作定语,表将来发生;且不定式动词与逻辑主语是被动关系。
不定式被动态作定语,即表未来发生的事情,又表被动。
【2014·北京】28. There are still many problems ______ before we are ready for a long stay on the Moon.
A.solving B. solved C. being solved D.to be solved
分析:答案是D。不定式被动式作定语。根据题干信息是“要去解决的问题”。且由于problem和solve之间是被动关系,所以选D。
There are still many problems to be solved before we are ready for a long stay on the Moon.
在我们准备在月球上长期停留之前,还有许多问题需要解决。
考点2:有两类含不定式的特殊句型,用主动表被动。
分别是: (1) have sth. to do (2) there be +n.+ to do
【2017·天津】10. I was watching the clock all through the meeting, as I had a train ______.
1. catching B. caught C. to catch D. to be caught
分析:答案C。考察have sth to do(有某事要做)。事情是被做的,此句型用不定式作后置定语,不用被动态,而是用主动表被动。
I was watching the clock all through the meeting, as I had a train to catch.
开会期间我一直在看时钟,因为我要赶火车。
【2008·上海】33. If there's a lot of work______. I'm happy to just keep on until it is finished.
A.to do B. to be doing C. done D. doing
分析:答案A。考察there be +n.+ to do 。事情是被做的,此句型用不定式作后置定语,不用被动态,而是用主动表被动。
If there's a lot of work to do, I'm happy to just keep on until it is finished.
如果有很多工作要做,我很乐意继续做,直到完成。
在"there be +主语 +不定式"的结构中,当不定式与主语之间在逻辑上有动宾关系时,不定式可以用主动式也可以用被动式,只是侧重点不同。
用主动式作定语重点在人,用被动式作定语重点在物,但在口语中多用主动式表被动的含义。
比如:There is a lot of work to finish. 强调我们要去完成工作,强调我们。
比如:There is a lot of work to be finished. 强调有很多任务,强调这个量大,不强调谁去做。
比如:There is no time to lose. 强调我们不能再浪费时间了,强调我们。
比如:There is no time to be lost. 强调不能再浪费时间了,强调时间宝贵。
考点3:不定式放在不定代词后做定语。
【2016·四川】 She was a very careful mother. For 25 days , she never left her baby, not even to find something ___64__ (eat).
分析:to eat。句意:甚至不去找吃的东西。something to eat。
动词不定式放在不定代词后面作后置定语,当不定式的逻辑主语是句子的主语时,动词不定式作定语时往往用主动式。
She was a very careful mother. For 25 days , she never left her baby, not even to find something to eat.
她是个非常细心的母亲。25天来,她从未离开过她的孩子,甚至不去找吃的东西。

【2014·全国1】While there are __68__ (amaze) stories of instant transformation,for most of us the changes are gradual and require a lot of effort and work,like cleaning up a polluted river. Just be patient.

While there are amazing stories of instant transformation,for most of us the changes are gradual and require a lot of effort and work,like cleaning up a polluted river. Just be patient.
虽然有令人惊叹的瞬间转变的故事,但对我们大多数人来说,这些变化是渐进的,需要付出很多努力和工作,就像清理一条被污染的河流一样。请保持耐心。
