Using language

Activity 1
Looking at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
What has happened to “you” in sentence (a)
Who has used new inventions to make replacement hearts and bone parts in sentence (b)
People have used 3D printers to make replacement hearts and bone parts.
Someone has asked “you” about the title of your book before.
Activity 1
Looking at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
What is the difference between the two groups of sentences
In the first group, the words in bold show the use of the passive form with the subjects, while in the second group, the words in bold show the use of the active form with the subjects.
Activity 1
Looking at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
Why does the author choose to use the passive form instead of the active form in the reading passage
The author chooses to use the passive form instead of the active form to emphasise what has been done, rather than who or what does the action.
使用被动语态的情况
1. 不知道或不必说出动作的执行者(强调动作承受者)
例句:①The bridge was built in 2020.
(这座桥建于 2020 年。→ 不必说 “谁建的”)
② Many new schools have been set up in rural areas.(农村地区建起了许多新学校。→ 执行者不重要)
高考提示:说明文、新闻报道中高频使用,如介绍科技发明、社会现象时。
2. 强调动作的承受者(需突出主语)
例句:① The prize was won by a 17-year-old student.
(奖项由一名 17 岁学生获得。→ 强调 “17 岁学生”)
② This book is widely read by teenagers.
(这本书被青少年广泛阅读。→ 强调 “这本书”)
高考提示:写作中用于突出核心对象,如议论文论点、记叙文关键人物 / 事件。
3. 动作的执行者是泛指(如 people, someone 等)
例句:① English is spoken all over the world.
(英语在全世界被广泛使用。→ 执行者是 “全世界的人”,泛指)
② The new rule is supposed to be followed by everyone.
(新规定应该被所有人遵守。→ 执行者 “everyone” 泛指)
高考提示:常用于客观事实、普遍规律的描述,适配说明文、议论文。
4. 出于礼貌、委婉或避免提及执行者(语气正式)
例句:① You are requested to arrive on time.
(敬请准时到达。→ 礼貌邀请,避免说 “我们要求你”)
② Mistakes were made in the project.
(项目中出现了一些错误。→ 委婉表达,不直接指责某人)
高考提示:书信、通知、正式演讲等场景高频,如邀请信、倡议书。
5. 科技类、学术类、官方文件等正式语境(客观陈述过程 / 结果)
例句:① The data was collected through experiments.
(数据通过实验收集。→ 学术报告)
② The law was passed by the government last month.
(该法律于上月由政府通过。→ 官方文件)
高考提示:科技类阅读、书面表达(实验报告、议论文论点支撑)中必考点。
6. 为了句子结构平衡(避免主语过长,保持上下文连贯)
例句:① A meeting is planned to be held next Friday.(
计划下周五召开一次会议。→ 避免主语 “to hold a meeting” 过长)
② The problem to be discussed at the meeting was put forward by Tom.
(会议上要讨论的问题是汤姆提出的。→ 定语后置,结构更清晰)
高考提示:写作中优化句式结构的关键用法,避免头重脚轻。
7. 固定搭配或习惯用法(被动形式为固定表达)
例句:① He is known for his honesty.
(他以诚实著称。→ be known for 固定搭配)
② The child is taken care of by his grandparents.
(孩子由祖父母照顾。→ 动词短语的被动形式)
高考提示:重点记忆 “动词 + 介词 / 副词” 短语的被动结构,如 be looked after, be made use of 等。
高考易错点提示
1. 不及物动词(如 happen, appear, occur)无被动语态,如:正确表达 “What happened ”,错误表达 “What was happened ”;
2. 感官动词(如 see, hear, feel)和使役动词(如 make, let)在主动语态中接不带 to 的不定式,被动语态中需加 to,如:主动 “We saw him enter the room” → 被动 “He was seen to enter the room”;
3. 表示 “拥有、适合、容纳” 的动词(如 have, fit, hold)无被动语态,如:正确表达 “The room holds 50 people”,错误表达 “50 people are held by the room”。
Present perfect passive—现在完成时的被动语态
1. 基本概念
现在完成时的被动语态强调一个发生在过去的被动性动作对现在造成了影响或结果,主语为动作的承受者,表示“……已经被……”。通常与already, yet, recently, lately, since+从句,so far, in/during/over+一段时间等时间状语连用。
例句:I have met several old friends recently.(我最近遇到了几个老朋友。)
He hasn't replied to my message yet.(他还没回复我的消息。)
2. 构成形式
肯定式:主语+have/has+been+过去分词
例句:These documents have been translated into three foreign languages. 这些文件已被翻译成三种外语。
否定式:主语+have/has not+been+过去分词
例句:The meeting hasn't been arranged because the manager is busy.
会议尚未安排,因为经理很忙。
一般疑问式:Have/Has+主语+been+过去分词
例句:Has the bridge been repaired after the storm
暴风雨后这座桥已被修复了吗?
特殊疑问句:特殊疑问词+have/has+主语+been done
例句:How many trees have been planted in the park so far
到目前为止,公园里已种了多少棵树?
3. 用法
①表示被动的动作在说话前已经完成,强调过去的动作对现在造成的影响或产生的结果,通常与 already, yet, never, recently等副词及时间状语 so far, by now, up till now等连用。
例句:The letter has already been sent.
(信已寄出。→ 现在对方可能收到)
This secret has never been told.
(这个秘密从未被泄露。→ 现在仍保密)
So far, 100 books have been collected.
(到目前为止,已收集 100 本书。→ 现在有足够数量)
3. 用法
②表示被动的动作或状态从过去开始一直持续到现在,并可能继续持续下去,常与for或since等引出的时间状语(从句)连用,或用于how long引出的句子中。
例句:The bridge has been used for 20 years.
(这座桥已被使用 20 年了。)
The library has been closed since last Monday.
(图书馆从上周一起就关闭了。)
How long has this museum been open
(这家博物馆已开放多久了?)
3. 用法
③用在时间状语从句中,表示将来某时已经完成的动作。
例句:Don't leave until the work has been finished.
(工作完成后再离开。)
By the time you arrive, the hall will have been decorated.
(你到的时候,大厅已布置好。)
Before the party starts, all the food will have been prepared.
(派对开始前,所有食物已备好。)
As soon as the plan has been approved, we'll act.
(计划获批后,我们立即行动。)
4. 现在完成时的被动语态要注意的问题
①现在完成时的被动语态与一般过去时的被动语态的区别:一般过去时的被动语态表示一个被动的动作发生在过去,对现在没有影响;而现在完成时的被动语态强调一个过去发生的被动动作对现在造成的结果和影响。
例句:The letter was sent yesterday.
(信是昨天寄的。→ 仅说明过去事实,不涉及现在是否收到)
The letter has been sent.
(信已寄出。→ 现在对方可能收到)
4. 现在完成时的被动语态要注意的问题
②用在时间或条件状语从句中,表示将来某时已完成的动作,即用现在完成时态的被动语态代替将来完成时的被动语态。例句:
正确:When the report has been typed, print it.
(报告打完就打印。)
错误:When the report will have been typed, print it.
正确:If the room has been decorated, we'll move in.
(房间装修好就入住。)
错误:If the room will have been decorated, we'll move in.
4. 现在完成时的被动语态要注意的问题
③有些非延续性动词如finish, buy, start, begin, return, join, marry, open, die等表示的动作很短暂。它们构成的现在完成时的被动语态不能够与表示一段时间的状语连用,如不能与for构成的短语、since构成的短语或引导的句子连用,也不能用于How long... 句型中。若要表达相应的意思,则需要更换动词或时态。例句:
错误:The building has been built since 2019.
(build 为非延续性动词)
正确:The building was built in 2020.(换一般过去时)

Inventor: Alexander Graham Bell
Invention created in: 1876
Background: Bell was a teacher at a school for the deaf. He tried to invent a machine to send messages over an electronic wire. This eventually led to the idea of a telephone. Later, with his assistant, he created a device to produce and receive sound waves using electrical signals.
First phone call: On 10 March 1876, Bell made the first clear and complete phone call to his assistant, saying, “Mr Watson–come here–I want to see you.”
Other information: Bell never had a telephone in his study, where he wanted to be alone with his thoughts and work.
