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。

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 low-temperature 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 low-temperature 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＋that-clause
【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. 看那些乌云！天可能要下雨。
②It’s too late.He is unlikely to come. 太晚了。他不可能来了。
③It’s likely that we will beat them since we have practiced a lot. 因为我们做了大量练习，很可能我们会打败他们。
