2.不定式作结果状语，通常表示继谓语动作之后发生的一个相反或出乎意料之外的结果，常表达“没相到……”、“结果却……”、“不料……”等意思。其前常加only以强调这一意外结果。例如：

　　 I called at her home, only to find the door locked.我去过她家，结果却发现其房

门紧锁着。

　　 He hurried to the station, only to be told the train had gone.他匆忙赶到车站，不料被告知火车已经开走了。

　　 It took her nearly half a year to find his address, only to learn that he had

　passed away ten years before.她用了近半年的时间找到了他的地址，结果却得知他已在

十年前去世了。

　　 从以上的分析可以看出，上述试题中句意为“八十个国家都踢欧式足球，结果使用其成为世人最喜欢的运动”这是一种自然而然的结果，故正确答案应为A。大家可试作下面的一

组练习：

(1)　 　The water of a hot spring(温泉)carries many dissolved minerals,usually

　　　　　 　the water an unusual taste and smell.

　　 A.to give　　 B.gives　　 C.to be given　　 D.giving

Students Pay to Change to Popular Majors(专业)

　　 For most students in universities 20,000 yuan is a big sum. But Xiao Wang paid the money soon after she learned that she could change to the popular Economics Department.

By paying 20,000 yuan with the help of her parents, Xiao Wang can study the economics major she prefers. “It is difficult for graduates in chemistry to find a good job in recent years,” she said Xiao Wang in only one of the many freshmen that pay to change to popular majors. Many universities throughout China offer similar services. The charges for changing majors are from 5,000 yuan to 80,000 yuan according to recent report on the YangZi Evening News. The fee(费用)is decided by university authorities based on the popularity of each major, the report said. The most popular majors include computer science, law, finance(金融),information engineering and foreign languages. A saying popular among students may explain the phenomenon(现象).Studying a good major is much better than studying in a famous university.

Some educators warn students against rushing blindly to today’s popular majors. They may not be popular years later, the China Youth Daily said. But it seems that many students are career-oriented(以职业为宗旨的),instead of being interest-based.

Freshmen are allowed to change to other departments according to rules of the Ministry of Education. But there are no official rules on the charges. In spite of the high charges, demands to change majors are still increasing. The paper said about 100 students in the English language department of a school in Harbin changed from other departments. The department planed to admit only 50 freshmen this year.

These charges have become a big income for some universities, the paper said. It is expected a normal school in Harbin will get an income of 30 million yuan this year.

39．Xiao Wang would rather pay 20,000 yuan to change to the Economics Department because ____.

A．her parents have persuaded her to do so

B．she prefers to study the major

C．she can have a promising future

D．transferring to another major is very popular in university.

40．The followings are the most popular majors in China today except ____.

A．law　　　　　　　　 B．computer　　　　　　　　 C．English　　　　　　　　　 D．chemistry

41．The fees that freshmen hand in to change to a new major are decided by ____

A．headmasters

B．the Minister of Education

C．university authorities

D．the China Youth Daily
