teacher.一.注意不可遺漏being現在進行時的被動語態表示說話時正在進行的一個被動的動作,強調主語是動作的承受者,其構成為“am/is/are+being+動詞的過去分詞”。如果我們把being漏掉,就成為一般現在時的被動語態或系表結構。如:Look!Thechildrenarebeingtakencareofbytheiraunt.瞧!那些孩子正由他們的姑媽照看著。區別：Childrenaretakengoodcareofatschool.孩子們在學校被照看得很好。(指通常情況)二.注意不可忽視“現階段”現在進行時的被動語態也可表示目前這一階段正在進行的一個被動的動作。如:Manyinterestingexperimentsarebeingcarriedoutthesedays.如今許多有趣的實驗正在被進行著。(說話時,并不一定在進行)注意沒有現在進行時的被動語態的動詞 一些表示“狀態、心理活動、擁有、存在”等的動詞,一般不用現在進行時的被動語態,而常用一般現在時的被動語態。如: XiaoWang,ehere.Youarewantedonthephone.小王,過來,有你的。 Footballisbeingmoreandmorepopular.Inotherwords,itislovedbymoreandmorepeople.足球現在越來越流行了,換句話說,它被越來越多的人喜愛。四.注意“be+under/in等介詞+名詞”結構可表示現在進行時的被動語態的含義。如:Theproblemisunderdiscussion(isbeingdiscussed)atthemeeting.這個問題正在會上討論。 Thetelephoneisinuse(=isbeingused)now.這部正在使用中。當堂檢測=1\*ROMANI.單項選擇1.Themiludeer______attheresearchcenteratpresent.A.wasbeingstudied B.willbestudied C.isbeingstudied D.havebeenstudied2.Wecanhearthatthepapers_______quicklyonfastmovingprintingmachines.A.willbeprinted B.werebeingprinted C.havebeenprinted D.arebeingprinted3.Money_______forthenatureproject.A.wascollected B.havebeencollected C.isbeingcollected D.arebeingcollected4.Hesaidhisfather______abroadthenextyear.A.hasbeensent B.isbeingsent C.willbesent D.wouldbesent5.Theplanthathemadeafewdaysago______now.A.hasbeencarriedout B.isbeingcarriedout C.willbecarriedout D.wasbeingcarriedout6.—Whereisthepanda? —It______bythedoctor.A.wasbeingexamined B.isbeingexamined C.willbeexamined D.hasbeenexamined7.Wecan'twatchTVtonightbecauseit_______.A.hasbeenrepaired B.hasn'tbeenrepaired C.wasbeingrepaired D.hadn'tbeenrepaired8.Everyboyandeverygirl______equallyinChinanow.A.isbeingtreated B.arebeingtreated C.treat D.aretreated9.Morethanonepatient______bythenurseatthemoment.A.arebeingtakencareof B.isbeingtakencareofC.aretakencareof D.istakecareof10.Themeeting______nowisofgreatimportance.A.held B.beingheld C.isbeingheld D.willbeheld11.Sheisoneofthegirlsinourclasswho______fortheingsportsmeetingnow.A.isbeingtrained B.aretrained C.istraining D.arebeingtrained12.Allthat______aboutrightnowshouldnotbeletout.A.aretalked B.isbeingtalked C.istalked D.arebeingtalked13.Thepoor_______toliveontheirownlabourattheverymoment.A.ishelped B.arehelped C.arebeinghelped D.isbeinghelped14.Theworld_______bymanhimselfnow.A.isbeingdestroyed B.arebeingdestroyed C.hasbeendestroyed D.willbedestroyed15.Apairofshoes_______;theycan'tbeusednow.A.arebeingmended B.isbeingmended C.ismended D.aremended16.
