以上两道高考题均考查了blame的用法。下面详细介绍一下该词的用法。

三、blame用作及物动词时,通常用于下面三个句型:

1. blame sb. for sth. /doing sth. 为某事责备某人/责备某人做了某事。如:

四、 blame用作名词时,常用于下列搭配:

___ for the break down of the school computer network, Alice was in low spirit. 是填To blame还是Blamed 为什么？

blame sb for sth 因某事责备某人

blame sth on sb 把某事责怪某人

be to blame for 该受到责备

首先要知道blame的以上三种用法，其次看句子可知本句是语法中的重点项 非谓语形式 。先找句子的主语是Alice.所以由句子意思可知是Alice is blamed for the break down of the school computer network，Alice was in low spirit.然后省略前面句中的主语和be动词 .Blame 在此作原因状语。不用to blame 因为在非谓语中 动词不定式最多出现的时候是作 目的状语 in order to so as to 两种形式都可省略成 to do。在表语形容词后，可作 原因状语 e.g I'm glad to see you。它也可作目的状语（三个框架，一个意外） too...to... ...enough to... so...as to... only to...

总之，动词不定式的非谓语形式一般 表示 反复经常发生的动作，尤其表将来。此处应该填blamed
