他正在接受我们校长的采访。
This film is being shown now.

以如此速度捕杀动物,他们很快就会消失。
三、现在进行时被动语态的注意事项
1. 不可遗漏being
现在进行时的被动语态表示说话时主语正在承受谓语动词的动作,谓语动词的形式为“is/are/am+being+过去分词”。如果把being漏掉,就成为一般现在时被动语态或系表结构。试比较下列句子:
Look! The children are being taken care of by their aunt.
瞧!孩子们现在正由姑母照看着。
Children are taken good care of at school.
孩子们在校被照看得很好。(指通常情况)
The report is being written by one of the best students.
报告正在由一个最好的学生写着呢。
The report is well written.

2. 表示现阶段
现在进行时被动语态也可以表示目前这一阶段主语正在承受谓语动词的动作。
Many interesting experiments are being carried out these days.
最近正在进行许多有趣的实验。(说话时,并不一定在进行)
3. 表示计划或安排
现在进行时被动语态还可表示按计划、安排主语将要承受谓语动词的动作(仅限于bring,take,send,hold,sing,show,play等表示移动的或能用来表示某项活动的少数及物动词)。
A folk song is being sung next.
下面将演唱一首民间歌曲。
A party is being held tonight.
今晚将要举行一场晚会。
4. 没有进行时被动语态
contain,include,impress,feel,want,like,love,satisfy,surprise,own等一些表示状态、 心理活动、拥有等意义的动词(和主动语态一样)一般不用进行时被动语态,常用一般现在时被动语态表示此时此刻或目前主语承受谓语动词的动作。
Xiao Wang, come here. You are wanted on the phone.
小王,过来,有人打电话找你呢。
Football is becoming more and more popular. In other words, it is loved by more and more people.
足球现在越来越流行了,换句话说,它被越来越多的人喜爱。
5. 其它形式表示被动结构
“be+under/in等介词+名词”结构可代替进行时被动语态。
The city is under attack(=is being attacked)at the moment.
目前这个城市正受到进攻。
The telephone is in use(=is being used)now.
电话正在使用中。

9.Some wild animals have become endangered and their habitats ___________ (threaten), too.
10.The book __________ (print) now and will come out soon.
答案:
1.答案:caring
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:说到照顾老人,你必须有足够的耐心和爱。When it comes to…是固定结构,意为"说到……,就……而言”,其中to是介词,后接名词、代词和动词-ing形式作宾语。
2.答案: to keep
解析:考查固定用法。句意:该应用软件提醒用户采取措施保护其账户安全,比如使用强密码。Take measures to do sth.意为"采取措施做某事",是固定用法。
3.答案:to see
解析:考查intend的用法。句意:为了给她一个惊喜,我没打算在画完成之前就让她看。intend sb. to do sth."打算让某人做某事"为固定用法,故填to see。
4.答案:are being looked
解析:考查现在进行时的被动语态及主谓一致。句意:现在这些病人正在被护士照顾,我们希望他们尽快痊愈。patients和look after之间是被动关系,根据句意可知此处应用现在进行时的被动语态,且主语为复数,故填are being looked。
5.答案:emotional
解析:考查词性转换。句意:母亲通常是为家庭提供精神支持的人。空格后面的support为名词,所以应用形容词emotional修饰。
6.答案:adaptation
解析:句意为:布拉纳凭借改编自莎士比亚戏剧《亨利五世》的荧幕作品荣获两个奖项。分析句子结构可知,his screen _____ of Shakespeare's Henry the Fifth作介词for的宾语,设空处前有形容词性物主代词his和名词screen修饰,设空处应用名词,表示“改编本;改写本”。此处表示单数概念,故填adaptation。
7.答案:a
解析:考查固定搭配。a mass of …意为"大量/许多……"后可接可数名词复数或不可数名词,故填a。
8.答案:is being investigated
解析:根据汉语提示,“调查”译为investigate,动词,句子主语与动词之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,结合句意“非法狩猎正在被当局调查以窥探濒危物种”可知,句子应用现在进行时的被动语态,其构成为“am/is/are being done”,因主语为不可数名词,be动词要用is,故答案为:is being investigated。
9.答案:are being threatened
解析:空格为谓语动词,主语habitats(栖息地)和动词threaten(威胁)之间为被动关系,结合句意,可知动作正在进行,时态为现在进行时,主语为复数,谓语用are+being+过去分词。
10.答案:is being printed
解析:根据句意:这本书现在正在印刷,很快就会出版。可知:这本书是被印刷,要用被动语态,现在进行时的被动语态结构为:be being done,主语the book是单数,be动词用is, print:印刷,现在分词是printing,故填:is being printed。
核心素养对接高考
一、阅读理解
I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heart breaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Mutton town. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all-LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.
1. What is unavoidable in the author's rescue work according to paragraph 1
A.Efforts made in vain. B.Getting injured in his work.
C.Feeling uncertain about his future. D.Creatures forced out of their homes.
2.Why was the author called to Mutton town
A.To rescue a woman. B.To take care of a woman.
C.To look at a baby owl. D.To cure a young owl.
3.What made the chick calm down
A.A new nest. B.Some food. C.A recording. D.Its parents.
4.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event
A.It's unexpected. B.It's beautiful. C.It's humorous. D.It's discouraging.
二、七选五
Where Do Mosquitoes(蚊子)Go in Winter
Why do mosquitoes, everywhere in warmer months, disappear completely in winter?① Mosquitoes are cold blooded insects, meaning that they don't like the cold and prefer temperatures that are 80 degrees Fahrenheit (华氏温度) or more. When the temperature drops, they actually lose their ability to fly and become motionless.
②______ They would never be able to fly far enough. The actual answer to the question is different for male and female mosquitoes. Male mosquitoes They die. But that's not just because of the cold. Male mosquitoes have far shorter lifespans(寿命) than females, and they die in autumn.
Female mosquitoes, though, can live through the winter. They hibernate (冬眠). In autumn, the females will go into hollow logs or cracks in the ground and enter this still state.③______They put off their development, typically for months.
When it warms up again, the females will come out from hibernation. At this point, they're getting ready to lay their eggs and they need as much blood as possible to help the eggs develop. The females must find a blood meal to provide the protein needed by their eggs to develop, just in the time, when humans are outdoors in short sleeves enjoying the warming weather.④______
It actually doesn't have to be what we humans would consider “cold” to put a mosquito in danger. While these pests live actively when it's around 80 degrees F, most species can start heading into hibernation when it drops to around 50.⑤______This is when female mosquitoes start looking for a place for sleep.
A. The obvious answer is that it's cold.
B. Now it's time for male mosquitoes to wake up.
C. It's only the female mosquitoes that are biting you.
D. Unlike birds, mosquitoes don't fly south for the winter.
E. Anything below 50 degrees is already too cold for most mosquitoes.
F. They carry on with life only when there is enough water for their needs.
G. They can hibernate for up to six months in freezing or waterless conditions.

答案以及解析
一、阅读理解
1.答案:A

2.答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的"She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground."和第三段中的"examined the chick and it seemed fine."可知,接到一个居住在Mutton town的妇女的电话,是赶过来看看这只雏鸟的情况,此可知答案为C项。

4.答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据前文描述可知作者为小猫头鹰做了窝,并且帮助它找回了它的父母。小猫头鹰的父母还为它带回了午餐。作者的救助成功了,说明结局是美好的。再结合第一段的However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.可推测,作者感觉很美好。故选B。
二、七选五
答案:①-⑤ ADGCE
解析:①根据上文"Why do mosquitoes, everywhere in warmer months. disappear completely in winter "询问为什么冬天蚊子消失,而温暖的月份蚊子到处都是?,而A项"显然是因为寒冷"则是前句的答案,前后句一问一答,故选A项。
②根据下文"They would never be able to fly far enough."它们永远飞不了那么远,而D项"不像小鸟,蚊子不会冬天飞到南方去。"承接下文。故选D项。
③根据上文"They hibernate(冬眠),"蚊子是冬眠的,而G项"它们可以在冰冻或无水的条件下冬眠长达6个月"与其前后照应,句中hibernate为关键词。故选G项。
④根据上文"The females must find a blood meal to provide the protein(蛋白质)needed by their eggs to develop. just in the time. when humans are outdoors in short sleeves enjoying the warming weather."可知母蚊子必须找血液提供蛋白质以便繁殖,这个季节,人们开始穿半袖。而C项"这个时候只有母蚊子叮咬你。"与前句构成因果关系。故选C项。
⑤根据上文"While these pests live actively when it's around 80 degrees F, most species can start heading into hibernation when it drops to around 50."和后文"This is when female mosquitoes start looking for a place for sleep."可知大部分的生物在温度低于50度时,开始冬眠,这时候母蚊子也开始寻找冬眠的地方,而E项"任何于50度的地方对于蚊子来说已经太冷了"在该句中为过渡句。故选E项。
三、书面表达
答案:
Dear fellow students,
I’m writing to appeal to you to protect rare birds. It’s well-known that rare birds make our world more beautiful and lively, playing a significant role in maintaining the balance of our ecosystem.
However, human activities like hunting directly cause populations of rare birds to fall. Building farms or factories and the destruction of the forests have led to the loss of their habitats.
To protect rare birds, firstly we should raise our awareness about the importance of rare birds. In addition, creating protected areas is an effective way to protect their habits. Let’s work together for rare birds.
Yours,
Li Hua
