1【教材原句】 He claims to have seen a round black creature moving quickly through the water.(P52)
他声称看见一个黑黑的、圆圆的动物在水中快速游动。
【句法分析】 本句中的to have seen是动词不定式的完成形式，表示动作发生在句子谓语动词claim之前。
不定式的时态有三种：
(1)不定式的一般式：to do。表示与谓语动词同一时间发生或动作发生在谓语动词之后。
(2)不定式的进行式：to be doing。表示与谓语动词同一时间发生，并且动作正在进行。
(3)不定式的完成式：to have done。表示发生在谓语动词之前。

即境活用
11．To our surprise，the painting considered________should have won the prize.
A．being copied B．having been copied
C．to have copied D．to have been copied
解析：选D。considered是过去分词作定语修饰the painting。consider后面要求接不定式作宾(主)补，故可排除A和B。the painting和copy之间存在被动的关系，且copy动作发生在consider之前，故答案为D。此句意为“令我们吃惊的是，那幅被认为是抄袭的绘画作品竟获了奖。”
12.AIDS is said________the biggest health challenge to both men and women in that area over the past few years.
A．that it is B．to be
C．that it has been D．to have been

2【教材原句】 They say that the lowtemperature lake is unlikely to be able to support such large living creatures.(P52)
他们说，水温这样低的湖泊不可能生存有体形如此巨大的动物。
【句法分析】 (1)本句可以转化为：They say that it is unlikely that the lowtemperature lake is able to support such large living creatures.
(2) 本句使用了be unlikely to do sth.这一结构，它的用法等同于be likely to do sth.。主要有下述用法：
主语(具体人/物)＋be (un)likely to do sth.
It(形式主语)＋be (un)likely to do sth.
It(形式主语)＋be (un)likely＋thatclause
【注意】 likely与unlikely不能用于It’s likely/unlikely for sb.to do sth.，而possible与probable是可以用于It’s possible/probable/impossible for sb.to do sth.。另外，(be)possible与(be)probable的主语不能是具体的某人或某物。
①Look at the clouds！It’s likely to rain.

—Yes，the earliest train is________to leave at 5∶30 a．m..
A．likely B．about
C．possible D．due
解析：选D。be due to do意为“应该……/预期的”；be about to do不和时间状语连用；possible主语应为it；而likely与句意不符。
14．(高考陕西卷)Studies show that people are more________to suffer from back problems if they always sit before computer screens for long hours.
A．likely B．possible
C．probable D．sure
解析：选A。句意：研究表明如果总是长时间地坐在电脑屏幕前，人们的背部很有可能会出现毛病。本题考查表示“可能性”的三个形容词possible，probable，likely在搭配上的区别：
①It is possible/probable/likely that从句；
②It is possible for sb.to do sth.；
③Sb./Sth.is likely to do sth.；
综上所述，正确答案为A项。
