Unit6考点透视考例回顾
1. People in the future will be able to enjoy a longer and healthier life and remain active even in old age.(Reading)
【考点】remain 是系动词,意为“保持,依然,仍然,继续”。另外， remain也可用作不及物动词,意为“留下,剩余,残存”。如:
　　He has determined to remain loyal to the team whatever comes his way.
他决心不管发生什么事都忠于球队。
【考例】Having a trip abroad is certainly good for the old couple， but it remains _____ whether they will enjoy it
A. to see B. to be seen
C. seeing D. seen
【解析】 It remains to be seen...意为“……还要看情况发展。”　其中It是形式主语,真正的主语是whether引导的主语从句,remain是连系动词。因“事态”尚不明朗,故需用表示“将来”意味的不定式,而此处的不定式与主语构成被动关系,故须用不定式的被动式。答案为B。
2. If we learn to accept change and appreciate what is new and different， we will be well-prepared for whatever the future may have in store.(Reading)
【考例1】I really appreciate _____ to relax with you on this nice island.
A. to have had time
B. having time
C. to have time
D. to having time
【解析】答案为B。appreciate意为“欣赏”、“意识到”、“感谢”,是及物动词,后面常接名词、-ing形式或宾语从句,不可接不定式。如:
　　I appreciate your ability to do it.
我很欣赏你做这件事的能力。
appreciation n. 欣赏,感激
　 I expressed my appreciation for her kind help.
对于她的热情帮助,我表达了感激之情。
【考(上海 2004)
A. enjoyment B. appreciation
C. entertainment D. reputation
【解析】答案为B。分析语境可知,该空有“欣赏”之意。
