日期:2008-02-25 14:10

(单词翻译:单击)

被动语态由be+过去分词构成,be随时态的变化而变化。以give为例,各种时态的被动语态形式为:一般现在时:am/is/are+given

【例句】

The first section of New College English is designed for speaking practice and is based on pictures and topics.

一般过去时:was/were+given

【例句】

These computers were made in our own country.

一般将来时:will/shall be+given

【例句】

Shall we be asked to attend the opening ceremony?

Sir Denis, who is 78, has made it known that much of his collection ____to the nation. (CET-4 1996, 6)

A) has left B) is to leave

C) leaves D) is to be left

本句意思为:78岁的Denis先生声明他将把他的大多数收藏品留给国家。所以leave应用一般将来时的被动形式。一般将来时可以用来be to do sth表达,因此答案为D.

过去将来时:would be+given

【例句】

The news would be sent to the soldier's mother as soon as it arrived.

现在进行时:am/is/are being+given

【例句】

The machine is being repaired in the workshop. The fifth generation computers, with artificial intelligence, are ____and perfected now. ( CET-4 1996,1)

A) developed B) have developed C) are being developed D) will have been developed

本句测试点是动词的时态和语态。develop和perfect是两个并列的谓语动词,perfect用的是被动形式,develop也应该用被动形式,而且句子的时间状语为now,故develop应用现在进行时的被动语态,答案为C。

过去进行时:was/were being+given

【例句】

The feast was being prepared when the birds arrived in the sky

现在完成时:has/have been+given

【例句】

Swift progress has also been made in culture and education.

过去完成时:had been+given

【例句】

The huge bridge had been damaged before the World WarⅡ.

将来完成时:will/shall have been+given

【例句】

The book will have been published by the end of next month.
