重要程度：★★★☆☆ 难易程度：★★☆☆☆
(2016·北京)The students have been working hard on their lessons and their efforts ___________ with success in the end.21·cn·jy·com
A. rewarded B. were rewarded
C. will reward D. will be rewarded
【参考答案】D
【拓展延伸】一般将来时的被动语态运用中的几个需要注意的问题：
1. 含双宾语的情况。
?My aunt will buy me a shirt as my birthday present.
→I will be bought a shirt (by my aunt) as my birthday present.
→A shirt will be bought for me (by my aunt) as my birthday present.
【名师点睛】
含有双宾语的主动语态在变为被动语态时，可将其中一个宾语改为主语，另一个不变。习惯上把间接宾语变为被动语态的主语。如果把直接宾语改为主语，则在间接宾语前加to或for。
2. 含复合宾语的情况。
?We’ll ask him to help you tomorrow.
→He will be asked to help you (by us) tomorrow.
?The boss will make him work late to finish the work.
→He will be made to work late (by the boss) to finish the work.
【特别提醒】
主动句的谓语动词带有复合宾语时，应将宾语变成被动句的主语，而将宾语补足语保留不动(这时的宾语补足语成为主语补足语)。但如果主动句的宾语补足语是不带to的不定式，在变成被动句时，则需加上to。
3. 含短语动词的情况。
?The little dog will be taken care of by their neighbor while they are away. 他们不在家的时候，小狗将由他们的邻居代为照顾。
?Heated to 100℃, water will be turned into steam. 加热到100摄氏度时，水将会变成蒸汽。
?The old temple will be pulled down next month. 下个月那座古庙将被拆除。
【特别提醒】
短语动词变被动语态时不能漏掉介词或副词。
(4)被动语态与＂系动词＋表语＂的区别。
?The car was locked by Jack. (被动语态)车被杰克锁上了。
?The car is locked now. (系动词＋表语)现在车是锁着的。
【易混辨析】
被动语态
系动词+表语
意 义
表示动作
表示状态
主语与动词的关系
句子的主语是动作的对象
过去分词相当于形容词，说明主语的状态
1. 用所给词的适当形式填空

I. 阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The Internet brings us many advantages.
With the Internet, people can send and receive e-mails. On the Internet, people can skim over news. Using the Telnet, the user anywhere on the Internet can log into any other machine on which he has an account. It is possible to use the FTP program to copy files from one machine on the Internet to another. But the Internet also brings us troubles.
Internet use seems to cause a fall in psychological(心理的) health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University. Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less often, the two-year study showed. And it wasn’t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually seemed to cause the bad feelings.
Researchers are puzzled over the results, which were completely opposite to what they had expected. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.
The fact that Internet use reduces time used for family and friends may be the reason for the drop in health, researchers said. Faceless, bodiless ＂virtual＂ (虚拟的) communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversations, and the relationships formed through it may not be so deep. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
＂But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology; it’s about how it is used,＂said one of the researchers. ＂It really points to the need for considering social factors (因素) when you design new inventions.＂
1. The writer mainly wants to tell us that ___________.
A. the Internet can bring people many advantages
B. the Internet use may cause psychological problems
C. the Internet users are not satisfied with their lives
D. we shouldn’t use the Internet
2. Why are the researchers puzzled over the results?
A. Because the results were completely different from what they had thought.
B. Because the Net proved socially healthier than television.
C. Because the Internet users were all healthier.
D. Because the Internet users experienced less depression and loneliness.
3. What may be the reasons why the Internet use causes a fall in psychological health?
A. Internet use reduces time used for family and friends.2·1·c·n·j·y
B. Virtual communication is less psychologically satisfying than actual conversations.
C. Exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
D. All of the above.
4. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Users anywhere on the Internet can log into any other machine.
B. The two-year study showed that using the Net seemed to cause the bad feelings.
C. People who are already feeling bad spend much more time on the Internet.
D. Relationships formed through the Internet are usually deep.
B
?Humans: It’s time to give up the earth or face extinction(灭绝).
It could be the plot of a summer blockbuster(成功的电影), but this prediction isn’t science fiction. It’s a glimpse(一瞥) of the future, according to a famous British scientist Stephen Hawking. ＂I see great dangers for the human race,＂ he said in an interview with global forum(论坛) Big Think. ＂There have been a number of times in the past when its survival has been a question of touch-and-go.＂
Hawking, an award-winning physicist, says humans must evacuate our home planet within the next two centuries and expand into space to survive. ＂I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space,＂ he said. ＂It will be difficult enough to avoid disasters on our planet in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand, or million.＂www-2-1-cnjy-com
Hawking, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year, has recently voiced many concerns about the future of life on the earth. In April, he spoke about his fear of aliens in an interview for the Discovery Channel. ＂If aliens visited us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans,＂ he said. ＂Such advanced aliens would perhaps become invaders, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach.＂【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
But Hawking says he is still hopeful about the future of humanity. ＂I’m an optimist,＂ he told Big Think. ＂We have made remarkable progress in the last hundred years. But if we want to continue in the next hundred years, our future is in space.＂【出处：21教育名师】
Getting to another planet will prove a challenge, not to mention colonizing it for humanity. University of Michigan astrophysicist(天体物理学家) Katherine Freese told Big Think that ＂the nearest star to the earth is Proxima Centauri which is 4.2 light years away. That means, if you were travelling at the speed of light the whole time, it would take 4.2 light years to get there — or about 50,000 years using current rocket science.＂21*cnjy*com
5. Which of the following is NOT a reason why humans need to give up the earth according to the passage?
A. Lots of great dangers for humans have been seen.
B. It will be hard for humans to avoid disasters on the earth in the future.
C. The earth will be destroyed by worldwide wars before long.
D. Advanced aliens may conquer and colonize the earth someday.
6. The underlined word ＂evacuate＂ in Paragraph 3 probably means ____________.
A. leave B. save C. damage D. protect
7. Hawking’s attitude towards the future of humans is ____________.
A. objective B. positive C. subjective D. negative21*cnjy*com
8. How long will it take to reach Proxima Centauri by current rocket?
A. About 4.2 years. B. Over 10 years.
C. Less than 42000 years. D. About 50,000years.
