“be to+动词原形”的常见用法：
①表示“按计划、安排即将发生某事或打算做某事”。
②指该做或不该做的事情（语气上接近于should, must, ought to, have to），表示命令、吩咐或禁止的语气。
③指能或不能发生的事情（接近于can, may），表示可能性。
④表示不可避免将要发生的事情，后来注定要发生的事情。
⑤用于条件从句，意为“如果想……，设想”（接近if ...want to/if ...should）。

You are to go to bed and keep quiet, kids. Our guests are arriving in less than 5 minutes.

例题：单项填空
Greater efforts to increase agricultural production must be made if food shortage               avoided.
A. is to be                        B. can be
C. will be                          D. has been
解析:选A。句意为：如果要避免食品短缺，就必须作出更大的努力来增加农业产量。条件状语从句中，要用一般现在时表示将来，故排除C项；B、D两项与句意不符。“be+不定式”可用于条件状语从句中，表示“如果想……”。

2. A footballer was accused of taking money for deliberately not scoring goals so as to let the other team win.

易混辨析：so as to/in order to
   so as to 意为“为了，目的是”，后接动词原形，在句中作目的状语，其否定形式为so as not to do sth.,可以转化成so that引导的目的状语从句。
    in order to也可以作目的状语，但是so as to和so that引导的目的状语不可置于句首，且so that 目的状语从句的谓语动词常含有can,could,may,might等词。
She got up early in order to（so as to）catch the early bus.
＝In order to catch the early bus, she got up early.
为了赶上早班车，她起得很早。

例题：单项填空
The brilliance of his satires was ______ make even his victims laugh.
A. so as to    B. such as to     C. so that     D. such that
解析: 选B。句意为：他的讽刺太生动了，以至于被讽刺的人都笑了起来。so修饰形容词，such修饰名词或作表语。so that和such that常引导结果状语从句，所以排除C、D两项。
