一、含有被动语态的名言欣赏
Life is measured by thought and action, not by time.
Men are known by his companions.
观其友而知其人。
Rome was not built in a day.

没有缺点的朋友永不可得。
二、被动语态的概念英语的语态是通过动词形式的变化表现出来的。英语中有两种语态：主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者。Many people speak Chinese. 许多人说汉语。谓语speak的动作是由主语many people来执行的。被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者，即行为动作的对象。Chinese is spoken by many people. 汉语被许多人说。主语Chinese是动词speak的承受者。
一、被动语态结构
一般过去时：was / were +及物动词的过去分词
China was liberated in 1949. 1949年中国解放。一般将来时：will / shall be +及物动词的过去分词The problem will be discussed tomorrow.
明天将对这个问题进行讨论。
现在完成时：have / has been +及物动词的过去分词Not a book in the library has been taken away.
图书馆里没有一本书被人拿走。
现在进行时：am / is / are being +及物动词的过去分词My bike is being repaired.
我的自行车正在修理。
过去完成时：had been +及物动词的过去分词The book had been borrowed when I got to the library.我到了图书馆时,那本书已经借出去了。
二、主动语态与被动语态的转换
1）把主动语态的宾语变为被动语态的主语。
2）把谓语变为被动结构（be＋过去分词）
注意：根据被动语态句子里的主语的人称和数，以及原来主动语态句子中动词的时态来决定be的形式。
4）含有情态动词的被动语态含有情态动词的主动句变成被动句时，由“情态动词＋be＋过去分词”构成。Little Tom can work out this maths problem easily.
小汤姆能容易地做出这道数学题。
5) 含有双宾语的主动语态变为被动语态主动语态的双宾语句式: 主语+谓语动词+间接宾语+直接宾语+其他被动语态的双宾语句式: 间接宾语+be+过去分词+直接宾语+其他或:直接宾语+be +过去分词+介词(for / to)+间接宾语+其他My father gave me a new book on my birthday.
我的父亲在我生日那天给我一本新书。
→ I was given a new book on my birthday (by my father).→ A new book was given to me on my birthday (by my father).My father bought me a new computer yesterday.
我的父亲昨天给我买了一台新电脑。→ I was bought a new computer yesterday (by my father).→ A new computer was bought for me yesterday (by my father)
6) 带有复合宾语的主动语态变为被动语态带有复合宾语(宾语+宾语补足语)的主动语态变为被动语态时,只把宾语变为被动语态的主语,原来的宾语补足语不动。 His teacher found him a very good pupil. 他的老师发现他是一个很好的学生。→ He was found a very good pupil by his teacher.
7) 在主动句中, let, make, see, hear等动词后作宾补的动词不定式不带to,但在被动句中,则要还原to。 Linda’s parents make her practice the piano every Sunday.
→Linda is made to practice the piano every Sunday.8) 有些及物动词如have(有), reach, cost等, 以及有些联系动词如smell, taste, sound, feel等,不用于被动语态。【误】 Five dollars is cost by this book.【正】 This book costs five dollars. 这本书花费五美元。【误】 The food is tasted nice.【正】 The food tastes nice. 这种食物尝起来很好。

4. D。句意：“当你被给一项艰巨的任务时，试图继续做并完成它。”give sb. sth.改成被动是sb. be given sth.；根据语境，故选D。
5. C。句意：“我们被告知立刻出发，否则将赶不上火车。”根据句意可知，主语we不是动作的执行者，而是动作的承受者，因此要使用被动语态。
