1)不定式作目的状语：

结构表示逻辑主语，如：

We are now using the series ―New Standard English‖ for s tudents to make great progress．请注意以下结构：It is so kind of you to come and help us．
(这时，you既是to come and help us又是kind的逻辑主语)
再如：It's rude of him to say so．
4)不定式还可以作结果或原因状语：
表结果：What have I done to get all this?
She went abroad never to return．
He was so．late as to miss half of the lecture．

到上个学期末为止我们已经学了3000 多个单词了。
注意：如果句中出现了表示过去的具体时间状语，句子的内容可为过去的实际情况或句子中的内容为历史事实时，句中的动词时态只能用一般过去时。例如：

在表示某人过去未曾完成的―心愿，打算，计划，想法，许诺‖等等时，hope , mean ,plan, want ,promise , intend 等位于动词必须用过去完成时。例如：

答案：1-5BBCDB 6-10ABDCC
because, as , since, for归纳：
because表示“因为”，用来表示最直接的因果关系或是听话人所不知道的原因，它所表达的语气是这四个词中最为强烈的，它所引导的原因状语从句一般要放在主句之后。
还要注意两种情况也只能用because来回答：1、用why来提问的特殊疑问句的回答，只能用because；2、在强调句中，只能用because。
例：1、He didn’t attend the meeting because he had too much work to do.
2、It is because it rained last week that they put off the match.
since在语气上仅次于because，更加强调“既然”、“由于”，用来表示大家已然知道的事实。
例：Since we have no money,we can’t buy it.
as在语气上稍弱于since，不如since正式，而且经常用于口语。
例：As he wasn’t ready in time,we went without him.
for是四个词当中表示“因为”、“由于”意思时语气最弱的一个，它实际只是对它前面的主句加以补充说明理由或推断原因，要用分号和前面的主句分开。
例：I asked her to stay to tea,for I had something to tell her.

Unit 1 Growing up Understanding ideas The Age of Majority 成年 In most countries, turning 18 marks the start of adulthood. But what does reaching this milestone, the age of majority, really mean? Will you be completely in charge of your own life and be able to express yourself in new and exciting ways? What new responsibilities will this freedom bring? Here, young people tell us what turning 18 means，or meant, to them. 在大多数国家，进入18岁便意味着成年。但是到达成年这一里程碑到底意味着什么呢?你将完全主宰自己的生活吗?你能够用新奇的、激动人心的方式来表达自己吗?获得这种自由又会带来什么新的责任呢?接下来，有三位年轻人会为我们讲述年满18岁对他们意味着什么，或是曾经意味了什么。 Bethany 16, Victoria, Australia 贝萨妮16岁，澳大利亚维多利亚州 I can’t wait to be 18. For instance, I’ve been working ever since leaving school, and yet I won’t be voting in the next election. Why? Because I still won’t be old enough. Surely, if you’re old enough to earn a wage and pay taxes, you should be allowed to have a say on how the government spends them! I’ve also been taking driving lessons, and in fact I will be taking my driving test on the very day I turn 18. My mum worries about me being behind the wheel. As an ambulance driver, she ‘s seen a lot of car accidents involving teenagers and thinks the legal age for getting a driving licence should be 21. Bur I think I’m already mature enough to understand that driving a car also means taking responsibility for my life and the lives of other people. 我简直等不及想要到18岁了。其中一个原因是虽然我一毕业就工作了，但是我依然不能在下一届大选中投票。为什么?因为我依然不满18岁。但是我认为如果一个人已经工作并且交税了，那他应该对政府在支配税收方面有一定的话语权。我也一直在学习驾驶，并且我会在18岁当天就去考驾照。妈妈十分担心我开车，作为一名救护车司机，她目睹过太多涉及青少年的车祸，她认为考驾照的法定年龄应该推迟到21岁。但是我觉得自己已经足够成熟，知道开车也意味着要对自己和他人的生命负责。 Li Ning 19, Shanghai, China 林宁19岁，中国上海 I celebrated my 18th birthday just before I went to university. I expected to feel instantly different, as if I had closed the door on my childhood and stepped into a whole new adult world. But it wasn’t like that. When I woke up the next day, there were still rules to obey and lessons to attend. In fact, the change has been more subtle and gradual than I imagined. Instead of being the selfish teenager I used to be, I have begun to feel more aware of other people and to develop a stronger sense of social responsibility. To give an example, I will be signing an organ donation agreement this time tomorrow. This was a big decision for me and I made it without asking my parents(although I knew they would approve). Turning 18 also changed the way that society viewed me. I was really surprised when a bank contacted me with a credit card offer. Of course, I would like to have more freedom with money and doubt I will be getting a credit card at some point, but I currently don’t have a steady income, so getting a credit card might tempt me to spend more money than I have!
