—Were you in time for the lecture?

—If I ________ told earlier, I would have.

选A。由问句看出与过去事实相反，因而从句中使用过去完成时。

3.与将来事实相反时，从句中可用三种形式，即动词的过去式/should＋动词原形/were to ＋动词原形。

This printer is of good quality. If it ________ break down within the first year, we would repair it at our expense.

5.虚拟语气用于含蓄条件句：句中没有条件从句，其内容暗含在短语或上下文中。

动词不定式的特殊用法

1. 不定式的时态：不定式的一般式to do所表示的动作与谓语动作同时或之后发生；进行式to be doing表示动作正在进行；完成式to have done所表示的动作发生在谓语动作之前。The crowd cheered wildly at the sight of Liu Xiang, who was reported ________ the world record in the 110meter hurdle race.

A．breaking B．having broken C．to have broken D．to break

【解析】句中不定式动作发生在谓语动作之前，因而使用不定式的完成时。(2009·天津)________ the project in time, the staff were working at weekends. A．Competing B．Having completed C．To have completed D．To complete

【解析】分析句子结构可知，空格部分为动词不定式作目的状语；该动作在谓语动作之后发生，因而使用不定式的一般式。

2. 不定式的语态：不定式的被动式表示其逻辑主语是该不定式动作的承受者。(2009·安徽)The play ________ next month aims mainly to reflect the local culture. A．produced B．being produced

C．to be produced D．having been produced

【解析】空格部分作后置定语，且表示将来的动作，逻辑主语和非谓语动词之间有被动关系，因而使用不定式的被动形式。

That novel is said ________ into over twelve languages by the end of last year.

A．to be translated B．being translated C．having been translated D．to have been translated 【解析】逻辑主语novel与translate 之间是被动关系，句末时间状语by the end of暗示使用不定式的完成时。

3. 不定式的省略：有时为了避免重复，可用to来代替前面提到的不定式。如果在省略不定式结构中有be，have，have been时，这些词要保留。

—I'll be away on a business trip. Would you mind looking after my cat?

—Not at all. ________.

A．I've no time B．I'd rather not C．I'd be happy to D．I'd like it

【解析】I'd be happy to＝I'd be happy to look after your cat.

—Well, her parents wouldn't allow her to go to the party, but she still ________.

A．hopes to B．hopes so

C．hopes not D．hopes for

【解析】hopes to是省略形式，不定式符号后省略了“go to the party”。

选修6 Unit 1 Art-Reading A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones, starting from the sixth century AD. The Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century AD) During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way. The Renaissance (15th to 16th century) During the Renaissance, new ideas and values graduallv replaced those held in the Middle Ages.People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess t heir own paintings, so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements. One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the roles of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence, oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous. Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century) In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal. from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes. Naturally, these changes also led to new painting styles.

西方绘画艺术简史 艺术是受一个民族的风俗和信仰影响。西方艺术风格经历了多次变革。因为西方艺术多种多样，在短短的一篇课文里不可能进行全面的描述。因此，本书只谈及从公元六世纪开始以来最重要的几种艺术风格。 中世纪(5到15世纪) 在中世纪时期,画家的主要目的是把宗教主题表现出来。这一时期传统的艺术家无意于如实地展现自然和人物。这时的典型绘画充满了宗教的特征，体现出了对上帝的爱戴和敬重。但是，13世纪时绘画观念在改变是显而易见的，像乔托这样的画家开始以一种更现实的方式来画宗教场景。 文艺复兴时期（15世纪到16世纪） 在文艺复兴时期,新的思想和价值观逐渐取代了中世纪的思想和价值观。人们开始较少关注宗教主题而采取一种更人性化的生活态度。同时画家们回到罗马、希腊的古典艺术理念上。他们力争如实画出人物和自然。富人们想拥有自己的艺术品，这样就可以装饰自己的高级宫殿和豪宅。他们出价聘请著名艺术家不仅让他们画他们的活动和成就，还要他们画自己的肖像、房子和所有物。 在此期间，最重要的发现之一就是如何用透视法来画出事务。这一手法是1428年由马萨乔第一次使用的。当人们第一次看到他的画时，还以为是透过墙上的小洞来观看真实的场景，并对此深信不疑。如果没有发现透视法，就没有人能画出如此逼真的画。巧合的是，这一时期油画颜料也得到了发展，使得绘画的色彩看上去更丰富、更深沉。没有新的颜料和新的手法，我们就不能看到很多使这一时期著名的杰作。 印象派(19世纪后期到20世纪初期) 19世纪后期，欧洲发生了巨大的变化，从以农业为主的社会转变成了以工业为主的社会。许多人从农村迁入到新城市。有许多新发明和社会变革。这些变革也自然地促成了新的绘画风格。在那些突破传统画法的画家中有生活和工作在法国巴黎的印象派画家。 印象派画家是第一批室外写景的画家。他们急切地想把一天中不同时间投射到物体上的光线和阴影呈现出来。然而由于自然光的变化很快，印象派画家们必须很快地作画，因此，他们的画就不像以前那些画家们的画那样细致了。起初，很多人不喜欢这种画法，甚至还怒不可遏。他们说这些画家作画时漫不经心，粗枝大叶，而他们的作品更是荒谬可笑。 现代艺术(20世纪到今天) 在印象派作品的创建初期，他们是存在着争议的，但是如今已经被人们接受而成为我们现在所说的“现代艺术”的始祖了。这是因为印象派鼓励画家用一种崭新的视角看待他们的环境。如今，现代艺术风格有好几十种，然而如果没有印象派，那么这许多不同的风格也许就不可能存在。一方面，有些现代艺术是抽象的，也就是说，画家并不打算把我们眼睛看到的东西如实地画出来，而是集中展现物体的某些品质特征，用色彩、线条和形状把它们呈现出来。而另一方面，有些现代派的艺术作品却是那么真实，看上去就像是照片。这些风格如此不同。谁能预言将来会有什么样的绘画风格？

Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked in Paris. The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. They were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At first, many people disliked this style of painting and became very angry about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous. Modern Art(29th century to today) At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepted as the beginning of what we call "modern art". This is because the
