知识讲解
【被动语态的概念】
被动语态的概念
1. 英语中有两种语态:主动语态和被动语态。
2. 主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者
例如:Many people speak Chinese.
3. 被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者
例如:上句可变为
Chinese is spoken by many people.
为什么要用被动语态?
1.当关注的是事情本身而不是动作的执行者,或者根本不知道动作的执行者时。如:
The meeting was put off.
My car has been moved.
2.动作的执行者很明确时或强调承受者时。
The ceremony was reported in the news last night.
If you break the school rules, you will be punished.
3.当动作的执行者是“people”或 “one” 时。
He is believed to have invented the computer.
Advertisements are seen everywhere.
4.修辞的需要,为了使句子更加简练、匀称

单项选择
D。考查时态和主谓一致。由时间状语at present可知此处动词表示的动作正在进行;many a+单数名词作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式,由此可知本题选D。
C。考查动词的语态。根据该句空格前面的主语the new machine可以判知,空格处应该使用被动语态。然后根据上文可以判知,该机器的检测应该是正在进行中,所以本题应该使用现在进行时的被动语态,故选C。
A。句意:本周一我得到通知我被选为我们学校派送的三名交换生之一。“I”与“choose 选择”是被动关系,用被动语态,排除C、D;was informed是过去时,过去之前已经完成,用过去完成时,所以选A。
C。watch out for 当心,注意,警惕;watch over 看守,监视。根据句意,偷东西被抓,一定是在警察局被“看守”了,排除B、D;The fellow(那个家伙)与谓语动词“watch over”为动宾关系,用被动语态,根据is now,用现在进行时的被动语态。
B。根据句意“当体育场正在建造时”和主句的时态可知,应该用过去进行时的被动语态。
B。根据句意“她的母亲正在被医生检查”,应该用现在进行时的被动语态。
B。根据句意“车正在修理厂修理”,应该用现在进行时的被动语态。
D。句意:我喜欢这些英语歌曲,它们已经在广播上被教过好多遍了。songs与teach存在被动关系,应用被动语态,故排除A、B;由many times判断歌曲已经被教过,故应用现在完成时。
A。句意:随着政府对西部地区支持力度的加大,那里将会建成更多的学校。根据句意可知,主句用将来时,build和more schools是动宾关系,因此要用被动语态。
A。由语境可知餐厅此刻正在供应早餐,即早餐正在被供应,所以应用现在进行时的被动语态。
C。wildlife为不可数名词,作主语时谓语用单数形式,故排除A、D。under protection“受到保护”,不用冠词,故排除B项。C项是现在进行时的被动语态,符合题意。
D。is being repaired说明自行车正在被修,所以今天步行上班。故选D。
C。根据still可知大楼正在建设中,故用现在进行时的被动语态。
B。句意:据报道,在将来的几年里,一个太空站将会在月球上建立。从in years to come可知,时态是将来时,“太空站”和“建造”是被动关系,所以选B。
D。根据问句可知动作正在进行,句意:她现在也许正在接受采访,故选D。
B。考查时态和语态。手表坏了说的是手表目前的状况,用一般现在时表示主语的性质;根据第一句中的now可知,问的是此刻的情形,故手表正在店里修,用现在进行时,故选B。
A。由语境可知餐厅此刻正在供应晚餐,即晚餐正在被供应,所以应用现在进行时的被动语态。
A。根据have some patience可知问题没有讨论完,且根据语境,动作是目前正在进行的,故用现在进行时的被动语态。
B。句意:你今天不能使用这台机器,因为本周一些零件正在被置换。parts与replace之间的被动关系是本周这一阶段正在进行的动作。
D。句意:我想要买那种布,因为有人告诉我这种布好洗。“我”与“tell”是被动关系,而且是过去的动作,却影响说话时的行为,所以用现在完成时的被动语态。wash不强调动作,而表示布的特点,不用被动语态。
A。the moment he arrives是用一般现在时表示将来,意为“他一到达就……”。arrive为不及物动词,没有被动语态。故选A。
A。be caught in the rain 意为“遭雨淋了”,是固定搭配。句意:——哎呀,你全身都湿透了。——我刚刚淋了雨,我一路跑到这里的。
D。根据问句可知动作正在进行,她现在正在被采访,故选D。
B。disappear是不及物动词,不能用在被动结构中,根据year after year可知是目前存在的状况,故选B。
1B。句意:——顺便问一下,你搬到新房子里去了吗?——还没有。(新房的)墙正在被粉刷。由语境可知应用现在进行时的被动语态。
