点击不定式和动词-ing形式的被动语态

 许愿真 2014-05-25

请看两道高考试题:

1. Having a trip abroad is certainly good for the old couple, but it remains ______ whether they will enjoy it.   (NMET 2002)
  A. to see     B. to be seen      C. seeing     D. seen
分析:remain 后接to do sth.作表语, see 与主语从句是动宾关系,所以要用to be seen,故答案为B。
2. The discovery of new evidence led to ______. (上海2003)
  A. the thief having caught     B. catch the thief  
  C. the thief being caught        D. the thief to be caught
分析:lead to 中的to 是介词,后接动词-ing形式作宾语。“小偷被抓”应用动词-ing的被动形式being caught,所以选C。
不定式和动词-ing形式的被动语态是历年高考考查的重点和难点。下面就这两点做一简要介绍。
一、不定式的被动语态
    1. 当不定式的逻辑主语是动作的承受者时,这个不定式要用被动语态。如:
    The meeting to be held tomorrow afternoon is of great importance.
    明天下午要开的会议非常重要。
再如两道选择题:
(1) Little Tom would love ______ to the theater this evening.
   A. to be taken    B. to take    
   C. being taken    D. taking
分析:本题考查不定式在固定结构中的谓语形式。would love后一般只用动词不定式作宾语。句中主语little Tom是take的逻辑宾语,用被动形式,所以选A。
(2) To go shopping on Sundays seems to my mother a rule ______.
   A. to never break B. never to be breaking
   C. never to be broken D. never to have broken
分析:动词不定式和前面的a rule有逻辑上的动宾关系,所以要用它的被动语态作定语,故选C。
2. 如果句子的主语是动词不定式所表示动作的施动者,则大都采用动词不定式的主动形式来作名词的后置修饰语。如:
  I have a letter to write. (不用to be written)
  我有一封信要写。
  You need something to eat. (不用to be eaten)
  你需要吃些东西。
  但是,在there be 结构中,虽然常用主动语态,但是用被动语态也可以。如:
  There is a meeting to attend. (可用to be attended)
要参加个会议。
3. 当征求对方是否有事需说话人做时,不定式作定语用被动语态。如:
   “Would you have a letter to be typed, manager?” asked his secretary. “经理,你有信要打吗?”秘书问道。

二、动词-ing形式的被动语态
     当动词-ing 形式的逻辑主语是动作的承受者时,就要用动词-ing 形式的被动语态。
     1. 动词-ing形式的被动语态和它的主动语态一样,在句中可以作主语和宾语。如:
     He was afraid of being scolded by the teacher.
     他害怕被老师责骂。(宾语)
     再如下面的高考题:
     ______ to sunlight for too much time will do harm to one's skin. (上海2002)
      A. Exposed      B. Having exposed   
      C. Being exposed      D. After being exposed
      分析:本句中expose与one's skin是动宾关系,根据句意,应该是皮肤被暴露在阳光下,所以要用动词-ing形式的被动形式作主语,故答案为C。
     2. 一些动词如need, want, require等作“需要”讲时,其后的动词-ing形式的主动语态表示被动意义,也可以用不定式的被动形式来替换。如:
      The blackboard needs cleaning. = The blackboard needs to be cleaned. 黑板需要擦干净。
      The broken window wants repairing. = The broken window wants to be repaired.  那个破窗户需要修理。
      另外注意be worth及be worthy 的用法:
      The problem is worth discussing. 
      The problem is worthy of being discussed.
      The problem is worthy to be discussed.  
      以上三个句子都意为“这个问题值得讨论”。
