【点津】 本句使用的是find＋宾语＋宾补，disturbing是形容词用来补充说明the death。“find＋复合宾语”中宾补常用名词(或短语)、形容词、副词、介词短语、分词或to be来充当。当使用动词不定式作宾语，其后再接宾补 时，常用形式宾语，而把真正的宾语 放在后面。 ①When I got home，I found the door open. 到家时，我发现门开着。 ②We found the beds very comfortable. 我们觉得这些床很舒服。 ③You will find it a difficult book. 你会发觉那是本难书。 ④The youth found it hard to work it out. 年轻人发觉解决那个问题很难。 ⑤When he came to himself，he found himself surrounded by some unknown people. 当他醒来时，发现自己被一些不认识的人围着。 ⑥I hope to find you in better spirits when we meet again. 我希望再见到你时你的精神会更好。 ⑦I find the Chinese people to be happy and cheerful. 我发现中国人民快乐幸福。

A．daredB．dare C．did
D．didn’t 解析：选B。本题极易错选A或C。从“When I was in your age”看说话人问的是“你”现在的情况，因此A、C、D不可以。dare you是dare you go out alone at night的省略形式，dare在这里为情态动词。 2．The archaeologists all find ________ to prepare for the worst conditions they might meet during the restoration. A．worthy
B．it worthwhile C．it worth
D．it worthy 解析：选B。句意“考古学家都发觉在恢复原貌的过程中为他们有可能遇到的最坏的情况做准备是值得的”。it是形式宾语，worthwhile值得做，值得出力的；worth后不能跟不定式；worthy配得上，值得，常用worthy of结构。 3．The boy wanted to ride his bicycle in the street，but his mother told him ________. A．not to
B．not to do C．not do it
D．do not to 解析：选A。考查不定式的省略，him后面省略了not to ride his bicycle in the street。 4．—They don’t have much in their house yet. —________ they’re planning to live here only until their daughter graduates from college，they don’t want to buy much furniture. A．While

B．disturbed C．confused
D．puzzled 解析：选B。句意“然而，有时自然平衡被打乱，导致许多不可预见的结果。”disturbed “不正常的，紊乱的”。 7．The chairman asked the members to ________ their votes for or against the proposal. A．cast
B．throw C．bid
D．offer 解析：选A。句意“主席请各位成员投票表示赞成或反对这个提议。” cast“投，掷，扔”，cast votes“投票”；bid“喊价，出价”，是拍卖和投标用语；throw“投，掷，扔”；offer“出价，开价，报价”。 throw 和cast辨析：throw指用手臂突然用力把某物向一定目标扔去。cast指用手向下把某物向一定目标抛去，一般投掷的东西较轻，并常用于比喻。 8．He demanded ________ what was going on in the factory when he was hospitalized. A．to tell
B．me to tell him C．that I would tell him
D．to be told 解析：选D。因为demand后不能跟双宾语，可以是demand that/to do/sth. 在这里是demand to be done。 6 be condemned to something 被处以某种刑罚 (教材P18)Those who cannot answer all three riddles，however，will be condemned to death. 然而，猜不出全部三道谜语的人就要被判死刑。 短语精释 归纳拓展 ①(朗文P412)Ginny knew that society would condemn her for leaving her children. 金尼知道社会会谴责她遗弃自己的孩子。 ②Most people are willing to condemn violence of any sort as evil. 大多数人都愿意把任何暴力行为视作恶行加以谴责。 ③He was found guilty and condemned to be shot. 他被判有罪，处以枪决。
