注意事项 例句
只有及物动词(短语)才有被动语态,不及物动词(短语)无被动语态。常见的不及物动词(短语)有appear、disappear、die、end、happen、occur、lie、remain、sit、stand、rise、break out、come true、fall asleep、keep silence、lose heart、take place、belong to、come about、consist of、burst out、run out、come into being等 The price has risen.

注意事项 例句
在形容词后作状语用的不定式,与主语构成动宾关系时,则用主动形式表示被动意义(常用于此结构的形容词有difficult、hard、easy、interesting、pleasant、nice、fit、bitter、light、heavy、important等) ★1.如果句中的主语是不定式的逻辑主语要用主动语态 2. 如果句中的主语不是不定式的逻辑主语须用被动语态 The street was difficult to find on the map. His telephone number is easy to remember. The novel is interesting to read. The song is pleasant to hear. Good medicine is bitter to taste. The box is too heavy (for you) to lift.

(自己理解) I found my theory hard to be understood. (让别人理解)
动词need、require、want、deserve、be worth等词后跟doing的主动结构常表示被动含义,但是也可用不定式的被动结构 The room needs cleaning (=to be cleaned). The young trees require looking after (=to be looked after). The plants want watering (=to be watered) daily. The question deserves considering (=to be considered). The novel is well worth reading (=worthy to be read).

答案及解析:1.be submitted 句意:申请应该尽早提交。根据句意,此空填谓语动词,applications和submit为被动关系且此空在情态动词should后,故填be submitted。
2. is being repaired 句意:这周我的洗衣机正在维修,所以我不得不手洗衣服。根据后句so I have to wash my clothes by hand可知,洗衣机正在维修,应用现在进行时的被动语态,故填is being repaired。
3. was selected 句意:自从我被选中以来,我已经在这里工作了24年。since引导的时间状语从句描述过去的动作,故从句时态用一般过去时,且select和主语I之间是被动关系,因此从句用一般过去时的被动语态,主语I为第一人称单数,be动词用was,故填was selected。
4. was being built 句意:这座桥在上个月的这个时候正被建造。现在我们可以过桥了。根据this time last month可知,时态应用过去进行时,主语The bridge与build是被动关系,故用过去进行时的被动语态,主语是第三人称单数,故填was being built。
5. are clarified 句意:在他看来,在案件得到澄清之前,受害者家属将继续遭受痛苦。主语为the cases,为复数,且根据主句的will可知,此处为“主将从现”,故此处until引导的时间状语从句应用一般现在时,且cases与clarify之间为被动关系,故填are clarified。
6. has been investigated 句意:这已经不是他第一次因行骗而被警方调查了。从句主语he与谓语investigate构成被动关系,此处为句型“it is the first time that+现在完成时”,故用现在完成时的被动语态,助动词用has,故填has been investigated。
7. was removed 句意:不幸的是,他上周被公司开除了。根据时间状语last week可知时态用一般过去时,remove与主语he之间是被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为第三人称单数,be动词用was,故填was removed。
8. is expected 句意:他们已经工作了几个月的项目预计在今年年底完成。根据上下文可知,描述的是现在的情况,应用一般现在时;project和expect之间是被动关系,且主语the project为第三人称单数,be动词用is,故填is expected。
9. have been sent 句意:到目前为止,已有许多物资被送往发生地震的国家。此处为句子的谓语动词,根据时间状语so far可知,应用现在完成时,句子主语A large number of supplies和send之间为被动关系,因此,使用现在完成时的被动语态,且句子主语为A large number of supplies,所以谓语动词用have,故填 have been sent。
10. was allowed 句意:在这个占地六百英亩的大熊猫基地,我被允许接近这些可爱的动物。由上下文可知应用一般过去时,I和allow之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,I是第一人称单数,be动词应用was, 故填was allowed。
11. will be held 句意:不仅学生而且老师也被邀请参加派对,这个派对将在下周五在学校礼堂举行。根据时间状语next Friday可知用一般将来时,且party和hold之间是被动关系,用一般将来时的被动语态,故填will be held。

13. was being decorated 句意:上周五,我和同学来到附近的图书馆看书,却被告知正在装修。由时间状语Last Friday可知应用过去的时态。that引导的宾语从句中的主语 it 指代上文的 the nearby library,与 decorate 之间是被动关系,并且此处表示过去一段时间内正在进行的动作,因此使用过去进行时的被动语态。主语it为第三人称单数,be动词用was,故填was being decorated。
14. had been served 句意:到预定时间时,所有的菜都已经上桌了。主语all the dishes 与serve为被动关系,且由By the time the reservation time came可知,这里表示“过去的过去”,应用过去完成时,故填had been served。
