一、概念:表示动作与主语之间是被动关系的句子是被动语态。
二、被动语态的构成
1. 被动语态由“助动词be + 及物动词的过去分词 + (by+动作的执行者)”构成。被动语态的时态变化只改变be的形式,过去分词不变,疑问式和否定式也如此。
2. 各种时态的主动和被动语态结构如下表(以动词do为例)
时态 时态结构 被动语态结构 例句
一般现在时 do/does am/is/are + done (1) Our classroom __________ (clean) every day.
一般过去时 did was/were + done (2) The station __________ (build) in 1928.
一般将来时 will/shall/be going to + do will/shall/be going to + be + done (3) Some new factories ____________ (build) in our city this year.
过去将来时 would/should/be going to + do would/should/be going to + be + done (4) She said that some new factories _____________ (build) soon in our city.
现在进行时 am/is/are + doing am/is/are + being + done (5) A new factory ______________ (build) in our city now.
过去进行时 was/were + doing was/were + being + done (6) A new factory ______________ (build) in our city at that time.
现在完成时 have/has + done have/has + been + done (7) Some new factories ________(build) in the city since last year.
过去完成时 had+done had+been +done (8)It said that a new factory _________(build) by the end of last year.
答案: (1)is cleaned (2)was built (3)will be built (4)would be built (5)is being built (6)was being built (7)have been built (8)had been done
三、主动语态与被动语态之间如何转换
We Visited that factory last summer. 主动语态
主语 谓语 宾语 状语
That factory was visited by us last summer. 被动语态
主语 谓语 宾语 状语
(1)主谓宾结构
主动语态改为被动语态的步骤:
①主动语态中的宾语变为被动语态句中的主语;
②主动语态句中的动词改为相应的被动语态;
③主动语态句中的主语变为被动语态句中by的宾语。
(2)主+谓+间接宾语+直接宾语
①把间接宾语转化为主语,保留直接宾语
My father gave me a dictionary.
→ I was given a dictionary by my father.
②把直接宾语转化为主语,保留间接宾语。此时,一般需在间接宾语前加适当的介词(通常是介词for或to)。
My father gave me a dictionary.
→A dictionary was given to me by my father.
(3)主+谓+宾语+宾补
当“动词+宾语+宾语补足语”结构变为被动语态时,将宾语变为被动结构中的主语,其余不动。
例Someone caught the boy smoking a cigarette.
可改为The boy was caught smoking a cigarette.
【注意】
在主动语态句中动词一感feel二听hear, listen to三让make, have, let四看look at see, watch, notice等后接动词不定式作宾语补足语,动词不定式不加to。但变成被动语态时后面的不定式都须加上to。
例如:The boss made them work ten hours a day.
→They were made to work ten hours a day.
A boy saw him enter the house.
→He was seen to enter the house.
四、使用被动语态的场合
1.当关注的是事情或事物本身而不是动作的执行者,或者根本不知道动作的执行者时。
My car has been moved. 我的汽车有人动过。
2. 动作的执行者很明确时或强调承受者时。
If you break the school rules, you will be punished. 如果你违犯了学校的纪律,你会受惩罚的。
3. 当动作的执行者是“people”或 “one” 时。
He is believed to have invented the computer. 人们都相信他发明了电脑。
Advertisements are seen everywhere. 广告随处可见。
4. 为了更好地安排句子。
The well-known person got on the bus and was immediately recognized by people.
那个名人上了公交车,立刻被人们认了出来。(只需一个主语)
I was shown round the campus by Sean, who had entered the school just a year before.
肖恩带我参观了校园,他去年刚进这所学校。
(用定语从句使两个松散的句子变成了复合句,句子更流畅、紧凑)
【使用举例】
被动语态会使句子更顺畅、紧凑,表达更清楚,因此同学们在书面表达中要尝试使用,不断练习,使书面表达的等级得以提高。下面这篇就“公园要不要收门票?”给报社的一封信的范文中,如果不用被动语态,主语就会都用we,people等,写起来不方便,语言也会句式单一,不够流畅了。
Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. Sixty students out of one hundred think that an entrance ticket should not be bought before one enters a park, for it is a place for the public to go to when they are free. If a ticket must be bought, a gate and walls have to be built for a park, which will make a city look ugly. Forty students out of one hundred think that an entrance fee should be paid before one enters a park, but that the price of the ticket should be reasonable. Money that is got from ticket selling can be used to pay the gardening workers and buy different kinds of flowers and trees. As for myself, I really think parks are good places to go to at weekends and on holidays. At the same time, we, as visitors, should pay the entrance fee when we enter a park. After all, it takes a lot of money to maintain a park in good working order.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
五、谓语动词的主动形式表示被动意义
1. 英语中有很多动词如 break, catch, clean, drive, lock, open, sell, read, write, wash等,当它们被用作不及物动词来描述主语特征时,常用其主动形式表达被动意义,主语通常是物。
This kind of cloth washes well.
这种布料好洗。
注意:主动语态表被动强调的是主语的特征,而被动语态则强调外界作用造成的影响。
试比较:
The door won’t lock.(指门本身有毛病)
The door won't be locked.(指不会有人来锁门, 指“门没有锁”是人的原因)
2. 表示“发生、进行”的不及物动词和短语,如happen, last, take place, break out, come out, come about, come true, run out, give out, turn out等以主动形式表示被动意义。
How do the newspapers come out
这些报纸是如何引出来的呢?
3. 系动词没有被动形式, 但有些表示感受、感官的连系动词feel, sound, taste, book, feel等在主系表结构中常以主动形式表示被动意义。
Your reason sounds reasonable.
你的理由听起来合情合理。
六、非谓语动词的主动表被动意义
1. 在too…to do和…enough to do这两个结构中,若句子主语和后面的不定式to do sth.为被动关系,该不定式通常用主动形式表示被动的含义,有时也可以用被动式。
The handwriting is to faint to read. 笔迹太模糊没法看清。
The boxes are not strong enough to use/to be used as a platform.
这些箱子不够结实,不能当平台。
2. be worth后接动词ing形式用主动表示被动。
The machine is worth buying, as it is well designed.
这种机器值得买,设计得很好。
3. 在need, want, require等“需要”的动词后接ing时用主动表示被动,后接不定式时则要用to be done表示被动。
The children need looking after/to be looked after.
这些孩子需要照看。
4. 不定式to blame(责备), to let(出租)用作表语时,通常要用主动表被动。
Who is to blame
The house is to let.
5. 某些“be+形容词+to do”结构中的不定式通常要用主动形式表示被动意义。
The poem is not easy to understand.
Your writing is impossible to read.
七、被动语态要注意的句型
1. It+be+过去分词+that从句 主语+be+过去分词+to do sth.
表示“据说”或“相信”的动词,如believe, consider, expect, report, say, suppose, think等可以用于这两个句型中。
It is said that the boy has passed the national exam.
=The boy is said to have passed the national exam.
据说这个男孩已经通过了这次全国性的测试。
常用句型:It is said/ reported /suggested that… 据说/据报道/据建议......
It is believed/ hoped/ thought that…大家相信/希望/认为
It is well known that…众所周知
2. be supposed to do 被期望做某事,应该做某事
Let’s go and see that film. It’s supposed to be very good.
我们去看这个电影吧,据说不错。
It’s nearly 8 o’ clock. I’d better hurry. I’m supposed to pick up Tom at 8:15.
我要快些了,现在差不多8点钟了。我8:15去接汤姆。
You are not supposed to park here. 这儿不允许停车。
3. get + done与be+ done
在被动句中,get常可以代替be,get多用在口语中,有时表示行为不是计划之中,而是意外发生的。
There was a fight at the pub, but fortunately nobody got (=was) hurt.
酒馆里发生了打斗,幸好无人受伤。
The dog got run over by a car. 狗被汽车辗死了。
根据动词的适当形式填空

当句子缺主语或宾语时,填代词。要根据语境,看该空格是指人还是指物,是男还是女,是单数还是复数。为了避免重复,it, one’s, that, those都可以用来替代上文出现的名词,要注意它们的不同用法。it可以用来代替不定式、动名词或从句作形式主语或形式宾语。还要注意不定代词one,both,neither,nor,all,none,either,another等的用法。
【解题技巧】从近几年的真题来看, 如果给出提示词-----人称代词的主格, 那么正确答案可能会填物主代词, 宾格, 反身代词等; 如果题目要求本身是考查考生填代词的基本形式, 如: 主格人称代词it, 或some, any, another, both等不定代词, 出题人是不给出提示词的。
例:Keep holding your position for a while. It helps develop your strength and flexibility. Raise your leg and let ________ stay in the air for seconds.
解析:it 这里用it指代上文提及的同一事物,即指前面的raise your leg中的your leg

五、阅读理解
Tablets(平板电脑) are useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable(可折叠的) phone is about to become available. In February, Samsung and Huawei both introduced foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X separately, to the public for the first time. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, The Verge noted.
The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want but still fit easily into the pocket. The technology could change other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers, which could help increase available space to the maximum. In a keynote address,Justin Denison, Samsung’s senior vice president, called the foldable screen “the basis for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “It’s a blank canvas(画布) for us to do something beautiful together, ” he said.
So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future According to tech news website Android Authority,the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective or unusable. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. That’s a price that few people will be able to afford.
But if the foldable device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry expert told The Verge, “Few are debating if foldable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.”
1.What do we know about foldable devices
A.They are too big to fit into the pocket.
B.They could bring us much convenience.
C.They have become available in January.
D.They are a burden to carry around without a bag.
2.What can we learn from Denison’s words
A.The foldable screen has great potential.
B.The technology could change other devices too.
C.There must be many problems with the technology.
D.The production of foldable phones will soon decrease.
3.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Complete. B.Proper. C.Imperfect. D.Normal.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Types of Foldable Phones
B.The Coming of Foldable Devices
C.Popular Devices on the Market
D.Difficulties in Producing Foldable Phones
答案:
1. B 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices,due to their bendable screens,give us the larger screens we want but still fit easily into the pocket. The technology could change other devices too.”可知,折叠设备可以给我们带来很多方便。故选B。
2. A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In a keynote address,Justin Denison,Samsung’s senior vice president,called the foldable screen ‘the basis for the smartphone of tomorrow’.‘It’s a blank canvas(画布) for us to do something beautiful together,’ he said.”可知,可折叠屏幕具有很大的潜力。故选A。
3. C 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“According to tech news website Android Authority,the necessary displays were difficult to produce.”(据科技新闻网站Android Authority称,必要的显示屏很难制作)可知,该画线词所在句意为:十分之九的可折叠屏幕是有缺陷的、不可用的。defective“有缺陷的,不完美的”,与imperfect同义。故选C。
4. B 标题归纳题。根据最后一段中的“But if the foldable device isn’t going to change the world overnight,there is no doubt that it is coming.”可知,本文最佳标题是“可折叠设备的到来”。故选B。
六、完形填空

was very poor.”可知,作者帮助别人干活的目的是赚钱,故选C项。
2. B turn改变;knock敲门;work工作;look看。句意为:一天,我敲开了一位老太太的门,问是否需要打扫院子。knock on the door敲门,故选B项。
3. D 句意参考上题解析。how如何;when当……时候;why为什么;if是否。故选D项。
