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.(NMET 2002)

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)
