The Difficult Search for
American Products in the US
While-reading
3a
If you go to another country, what kinds of
things would you buy? Would you buy a camera
in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a
watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may
buy, you might think those products were made in
those countries. However, you could be wrong.
Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student from
Shanghai.
Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in
San Francisco. He found it interesting that so
many products in the local shops were made in
China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my
cousin, but even though most of the toys were
American brands, they were made in China.”
Toys are not the only things made in China. “I
wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,”
he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores
before finding a pair made in America!” He
realized that Americans can hardly avoid
buying products made in China. “In fact,” he
continues, “there are many other things there
made in China — footballs, handbags, pet
food, mobile phones. Even American flags are
made
in China!” Kang Jian thinks it’s great that
China is so good at making these everyday
things. However, he hopes that in the future
China will also get better at making high-
technology products that people can buy in
all parts of the world.
Read the passage and answer the questions.

uncle?

在英语中,动词有两种语态,即主动语态和被
动语态。被动语态的基本结构是“助动词 be
+ 及物动词的过去分词”,其中助动词be有人
称、数和时态的变化,其变化规则与be作为连
系动 完全一样。
1.一般现在时被动语态的各种句式结构
肯定式 主语+am/is/are+过去分词( + by…)
否定式 主语+am/is/are + not +过去分词 (+by…)
疑问式
Am/Is/Are+主语+过去分词(+ by …)?
特殊疑问词+ am/is/are+主语+过去分词(+
by ...)?
被动不离“be” “p.p.”, “p.p.”前面助动be。
主谓一致莫忘记,am, is, are现在时。
2.一般现在时被动语态的基本用法
用法 示例
表示经常性或习惯
性发生的被动动作

限制性动作

3.主动语态变为被动语态的方法
第一步:将主动语态的宾语改为被动语态的主语;
第二步:将主动语态的谓语改为“be+及物动词的过
去分词”结构;
第三步:将主动语态的主语改为介词by的宾语,放在
谓语之后(有时可省略)。
如图所示:

被动语态:
主动语态:
