四、语法——被动语态（2）
一. 概念：表示动作与主语之间是被动关系的句子是被动语态。
二. 主动语态与被动语态之间如何转换
→主动语态
宾语 状语
→被动语态 主语 谓语 宾语 状语
三. 各种不同时态的主动语态与被动语态的对比 四. 如何正确使用被动语态
1. 有些动词带有两个宾语，即直接宾语和间接宾语，变被动语态时，可把其中一个宾语变成主语，另一个留在被动结构谓语后面。需要注意的是：若把直接宾语变成被动语态的主语，需要在间接宾语之间加上介词“to”。
（主动语态） We are often told interesting stories by him.
2.
在主动语态中，某些动词之后带有复合宾语，即宾语和宾语补足语，这个复合宾语由动词不定式来充当，to
被省略，但在被动语态中，这个to还要还原。
（主动语态） 宾语宾语补足语
复合宾语
She is often heard to sing this popular song .（被动语态）
▲ 有这种用法的常用动词有：make , let , see , hear , watch , feel , notice等。
3. 有些“be +过去分词”的结构并不是被动语态，它们可能是“系表结构（即系动词之后由过去分词来充当表语）。”
▲常带双宾语的词有：tell , show , lend , pass, send
等。
(系表结构)⎧Thedoorisclosed.门是关着的。⎨
(被动语态)⎩ThedoorisclosedbyFengping.这个门是由冯平来关的。 (系表结构)⎧Theglassisbroken.这个玻璃杯是坏的。
⎨
TheglasswasbrokenbyMary.这个玻璃杯是玛丽弄坏的。(被动语态)
⎩
4. 只有及物动词和可接宾语的(动词+介词)词组才可以有被动语态, 如look after。
⎧GreatchangeshavetakenplaceinChina.(正确)
⎨
GreatchangeshavebeentakenplaceinChina.(错误)
⎩
dinthedeepsea.(正确)⎧Thedolphindisappeare
⎨
Thedolphinwasdisappearedinthedeepsea.(错误)
⎩
五、不能用被动语态的情况 1) 主动形式表示被动意义。
某些感官系动词动词接形容词可以表示被动意义，如：look，smell，taste，feel， sound等。
eg：Her bedroom looks very clean and tidy.

When people talk about air pollution, they usually think of smog, acid rain (酸性雨), and other forms of outdoor air pollution. But did you know that air pollution also exists inside homes, offices, hotels and other buildings? The air in your home can be 2 to 100 times more polluted than the air outdoors! In fact, some American doctors say that 50% of illnesses have something to do with polluted indoor air.
Air pollution influences our health in many ways. Young children and the old often suffer more from air pollution. People with health problems may also suffer more when the air is polluted. Indoor air pollution can harm people's eyes, nose and throat. Air pollution, both indoor and outdoor, can also lead to lung cancer, heart disease, and even harm to the brain! In the great London fog in 1952, 4,000 people died in a few days
because of air pollution! It is said that half a million young kids and women die each year in India because of indoor air pollution!
There're many ways to reduce indoor air pollution. Here are some of them and see if they can help you： ★Increase the amount of outdoor air coming indoors and open your windows for 15 to 30 minutes each day.
★Turn off all the lights and fans when you don't need them. ★Share your room with others when the air conditioner is running.
★Don't smoke and try to stop your family members and relatives from smoking. People who smoke are going to have trouble breathing and even die someday. If you're smart, don't ever start.
★Environment-friendly products, such as water-based paints pollute less and work just as well.

If you watch the sky about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some “moving stars”. But they aren’t really stars. They’re satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space Station(ISS). The ISS is the biggest satellites because scientists want to live on it. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.
When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with many of the things they have at home. Labs, living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most expensive space program ever. Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year.
for future space exploration. “The ISS will help us better understand the human body, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life in the earth better,” said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.
Sixteen countries are in the program: The US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and 11 European countries. China is not an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.
After it’s finished, more than 90 percent of the world population will be able to see the space station. So keep looking up, and maybe you’ll see it get bigger. 61. The International Space Station _____.
A. is really a big city in space B. is one of the stars moving around the earth C. can help us explore space D. doesn’t cost too much money every year. 62. The phrase “a stepping-stone” probably means “______” in Chinese.
A. 台阶 B.飞跃 C. 垫脚石 D. 楼梯 63. From the passage we know that _____.
A. building the ISS is only for scientists to live there B. scientists can do everything they like on the ISS C. everyone on the earth can see the space station D. sixteen countries are the members of the program 64. China sent some rice to the ISS probably to _____.
A. offer food to the scientists B. sell it to aliens
C. do some science experiments D. make it grow better in space 65. The best title for the passage may be ____.
A. ISS-A Flying City in Space B. Life in Space
C. Ways of Space Exploration D. Space Experiment
