重难点分析
在英语中,被动语态使用得比汉语要多、要普遍,但大多数句子都使用主动语态。被动语
态在英语中极为重要。高考中通常把时态和语态结合起来考查。
动词的语态有两种:主动语态(the active voice)和被动语态(the passive voice)。主动语态表
示主语是动作的执行者,被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。如:
People speak English all over the world. 全世界的人都在讲英语。(the active voice)
English is spoken by people all over the world. (the passive voice)
一、动词的被动语态构成一览表(以 ask 为例)
常用被动语态 构成 常用被动语态 构成
一般现在时 am/is/are asked 现在完成时 have/has been asked
一般过去时 was/were asked 过去完成时 had been asked
一般将来时 will/shall be asked 过去将来时 would/should be asked
现在进行时 am/is/are being asked 过去将来完成时 would/should have been
asked
过去进行时 was/were being asked 含有情态动词 can/must/may…be asked
被动语态的否定式是在第一个助动词或情态动词后面加 not;短语动词的被动语态不可漏
掉其中的介、副词。固定结构 be going to, used to, have to, had better 变为被动语态时,
只需将其后的动词变为被动语态。如:We are not allowed to smoke. 不允许我们抽烟。/
He is often made fun of by his classmates. 他经常被他的同班同学捉弄。/ Newspaper used
to be sent here at 10 a.m. 过去报纸常常是上午 10 点被送到的。
注
据说类动词,如:It is said/believed/supposed/reported that…, It is generally considered
that…, It is well known that…等,及 It must be admitted/pointed out that…等结构常以被动形式出现。
以下主动形式常表被动意义:The bike needs/wants/requires repairing. 这辆自行车需要修
理。/ The film is worth seeing. 这部电影值得看。/ The door won’t shut/open. 这门不能
关/开。/ The play won’t act. 这部戏不能演。/ The clothes wash well. 这些衣服很好洗。
/ The book sells well. 这本书很畅销。/ The dish tastes delicious. 这份菜尝起来很美味。/
Water feels very cold. 水摸上去很冷。
意
事
项
不及物动词或动词短语无被动语态(即多数的瞬间动词):appear, die, disappear, end, fail,
happen, last, lie, remain, sit, spread, stand, break out, come true, fall asleep, keep silence,
lose heart, take place 等
不能用于被动语态的及物动词或动词短语:fit, have, hold, marry, own, wish, cost, notice,
watch, agree with, arrive at/in, shake hands with, succeed in, suffer from, happen to, take
part in, walk into, belong to 等
系动词无被动语态(“keep”除外):be, appear, become, fall, feel, get, grow, look, remain,
seem, smell, sound, stay, taste, turn 等
二、被动语态和系表结构的区别
1. 被动语态表示以主语为承受者的动作,而系表结构表示主语的特点或所处的状态。如:
The cup was broken by a boy. 这个杯子是被一个男孩打破的。(被动语态)
The cup is broken. 这杯子是破的。(系表结构)
2. 前者可有多种时态,而后者通常只有一般现在时和一般过去时。如:
My bike is being / will be / was repaired. (被动语态) 我的自行车正在被修理/将被修理/被
修理过了。He is/was interested in his work. (系表结构) 他对他的工作感兴趣。
3. 被动语态可跟 by 短语,表动作的执行者。如:
The dress was made by my mother. 这件衣服是我妈妈做的。

二、语法填空 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
There is no doubt that the job interview is an important part of job hunting, as the
impression you create during the job interview can make the interviewer feel “with you” or
“against you”. The job interview is the time to “sell” 1 by giving examples of
experiences you have had related to the job and 2 revealing (展现) your good point. In order to make 3 solid impression with success, you had better keep the following two rules in
mind:
One is to present yourself and your 4 (able) to do the job. However, don’t
exaggerate the truth; just be honest. Second, do more listening than talking. Listen carefully
and get involved in 5 the interviewer is saying. A good 6 (listen) is often a
considerate person and 7 (appreciate) by everyone staying with you.
8 it is important to talk about your successful experiences, don’t come on too
strong and sound like a boaster (吹嘘者). 9 you are not sure what the job will require of
you, ask questions to see whether you do feel qualified. Most interviewers will appreciate your
questions 10 your ability to listen and respond.

三、佳作欣赏 下面是一篇摘自全国英语高考书面表达的范文,文中有许多精彩且灵活的
语言表达,其中也包含有动词或动词短语,用心体会其用法。
No doubt every grade three student wishes to be successful in the National College
Entrance Examination. Yet what should we do in order to achieve success? Here are some suggestions.
First, it’s very important to have a right attitude, for a normal state of mind and
self-confidence not only helps us to relax but also enables us to overcome difficulties bravely.
Meanwhile, we should have a definite goal and a correct estimation of ourselves. Only in
this way will we not be easily pleased or disappointed with what we have known and
done. Besides, we’d better sometimes talk with our parents, teachers or classmates, who may
help us out when we’re in trouble. Finally, striking a proper balance between study and
rest keeps us energetic and a healthy diet is useful as well.
With these done, I think we can greatly improve our performance.

二、语法填空
本文作者就如何在工作面试时给别人留下可靠印象给读者提供建议。
1. yourself 缺少宾语填代词。根据句意可知,此处是指推销自己或推荐自己。故填反身
代词 yourself 符合上下文语境和逻辑。
2. by 根 据 空 后 的 revealing 和 句 子 成 分 可 知 , 此 处 与 前 面 by giving examples of
experiences 是两个并列成分。故填 by。
3. a 不定冠词的最基本用法,在此意为“一个(可靠的印象)”。
4. ability 形容词性物主代词后用名词形式。
5. what 根据句意可知此处是指,仔细听并参与到面试官所说的东西。因此填 what 引导
宾语从句。
6. listener 作主语填代词。根据句意可知此处是指倾听者。
7. is appreciated 分子句子成分可知,appreciate 在此作谓语,故考虑时态和语态。时态
是一般现在时,根据空后的 by 可知应该用被动语态。故填 is appreciated 正确。
8. Although 空后是两个分句,故填连接词。再根据句意可知,此处显然应该填一个表让
步的连接词,故填 Although。注意首字母要大写。
9. If 根据句意可知,you are not sure what the job will require of you 是个条件,故填 If。
注意首字母要大写。
10. and 分析句子成分可知,your questions 和 your ability 是两个并列宾语,且中间无句号、分号等,故一定是填并列连词,关系显然是表联合。故填 and。
