新标准《英语》高中必修第三册
Activity 1
Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
a And just look at how her dress is being folded by the wind!
b I’m being pushed around quite a bit, in fact.
What causes the action in sentence (a) The dress or the wind
What is happening to “me” in sentence (b)
The wind causes the action.
People around “me” are pushing “me”.
Activity 1
Compare them with the following sentences and answer the questions.
c And just look at how the wind is folding her dress!
d People are pushing me around quite a bit, in fact.
What is the difference between the two groups of sentences
Why does the author choose to use the passive form instead of the active form in the reading passage
The two sentences of the first group use the passive form, while the two of the second group use the active form.
In the first sentence of the first group, the author is describing the sculpture, so the dress instead of the wind should be the author’s focus and it serves as the subject. In the second sentence of the first group, “I” don’t know the people around “me”, so there is no need to mention who are pushing “me”. As a result, the passive form is used here.
Activity 2
Rewrite the underlined parts using the passive.
Answers for reference only
Do you think going to a museum is the only way to see art Actually, art is everywhere around us! For example, on the walls of my local pub, beautiful pictures are being painted. Some people find graffiti too random and don’t like it, but I like its colours. Even trees can be art – trees are being trimmed into interesting shapes, like animals or clouds. And look up – impressive, original buildings are being built in every neighbourhood. Anyhow, it’s easy to see great art nowadays, because it is being created everywhere you look.
Activity 3
Look at the picture. Describe what is happening using the passive form of the words and expressions in the box.
arrange carry hang paint put up sweep write
Answers for reference only

Han Gan
Night-Shining White
What a magnificent horse!
We can still feel the power within its burning eyes, bared teeth and
kicking hooves.
He was born into a poor family in the early Tang Dynasty.
His artistic talent was discovered by the poet Wang Wei. He sponsored Han Gan to study painting and recommended him to a master. Due to Han Gan’s natural talent and years of hard work, he was eventually chosen to serve Emperor Xuanzong in the royal palace.
He frequently visited the royal stables and even moved in to live with the stable workers for quite some time in order to observe horses.
“The horses painted by Han Gan are real horses.”
“Han Gan’s horses could gallop off the paper.”
Think & Share

The colours show that the flowers are at
different stages of life
The painting leaves a great impression on me. I think it shows the meaning of life. Each of the flowers is trying its best to grow and show its beauty, no matter which stage of life it is at. The painting gives me a deeper understanding of life.
