This law ________ the number of accidents caused by children running across the road when they get off the bus. (这部法律意在降低孩子在下车横穿马路时发生的事故率。解析:be intended to (do)意思是使; 是用来，固定的用法。 所以正确答案应该选择D.)

B) intends reducing

C) intended reducing

D) is intended to reduce

本题考查intend的基本用法B intend与for的搭配表示“打算供某人使用，为某人设计使用”等意思。

搭配：

intend that... 打算……

it is intended that (接宾语从句)企图, 意图是

intend doing sth / to do sth 打算……

intend...for...打算供……使用，打算把……送给 ……；打算使……成为；想让……从事……

intend sb to do sth 打算让某人做某事

be intended / meant for 专门为／专门给

have no intention of doing…无意做……

with the intention of 抱有……目的，打算

without intention 无意中，不是故意

构词：intention n. 意图，打算，目的；意义，用意

Intend / mean / propose 都含有“想做某事”的意思

Intend 系正式用语，指“心里已有做某事的目标和计划”， 含有“行动坚决”之意，如：

I intended to write to you.

Mean 可与intend 互换，但强调“做事的意图”，较口语化，如：

I mean to go to bed earlier tonight.

Propose 指 “公开明确提出自己的目的或计划“， 如：

I proposed to speak for an hour.
