重点2. 被动语态
什么是被动语态呢？请先看下面两个例子：
I open the door. 我打开门。
The door is opened by me. 门被我打开。
哦！原表示某物被某人怎么样的时候，我们可以用被动语态表示。那么，被动语态是怎么构成的呢？
某物 + be 动词 + 动词的过去分词 + by + 某人
1．把主动态变成被动态的方法是把动词to be变成原的主动态动词的时态，再加上主动态里动词的过去分词。
主动态： Bell invented telephones. 贝尔发明了电话机。
在这个主动态句子中，时态是一般过去时，所以，变成被动态时，首先要把to be 变成它的一般过去时形式，即：was / were。然后加上主动态里的动词的过去分词形式。于是就变成了：
Telephones were invented by Bell. 电话机被贝尔发明了。
注意进行时态的被动态。这种语态有时似乎难以使用，因为它要求用to be的现在进行时，这种形式在其他方面用得不多。
主动态：They are repairing the bridge.
他们正在修桥。
被动态：The bridge is being repaired by them.
桥正在被他们修理。
2．主、被动时态对照表：
时态/动词形式
主动态
被动态
一般现在时
keeps
is kept
现在进行时
is keeping
is being kept
一般过去时
kept
was kept
过去进行时
was keeping
was being kept
现在完成时
has kept
has been kept
过去完成时
had kept
had been kept
一般将时
will keep
will be kept
虚拟语气
would keep
would be kept
3. 本单元出现的被动语态
Who was it / were they invented by?
它（它们）是由谁发明的？
It was / They were invented by … + sb.
它（它们）是由……发明的。
When was it / were they invented by?
它（它们）是什么时候被发明出的？

它（它们）是……被发明出的。
What is it / are they used for?
它（它们）有什么用途呢？

1.__________________________? (When)
2.__________________________? (When)
3.__________________________? (What)

Future computer
Do you forget to turn off the lights and heateas when you go out of a room? In 2004 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when your return. You will choose the temperature for each room the lighting and the humidity. (湿度) A sensor will detect ( 察觉) the presence of a human ( and, with luck, ignore ( 忽略 ) the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.
The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fire and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical equipment, wires or switches, separate ( 隔离) them so that they can’t harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fireman. It will also call the police if the sensors detect a robber. This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using our personal card------ the one you use for shopping-----may be using a number known only to you.
It will be important to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper ( 乱动) with the lock or with a windo It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal ( 信号 ) to the computer.
The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 entertainment will mean much more. You will be able to take part actively, rather than just watching.
Questions:
1.Can the future computer help you turn on and off the lights?
_____________________________________.
2.Can the future computer warn you that the electrical equipment need repair?
_____________________________________.
3.If you are out of the house, who will call the fireman?
_____________________________________.
4.In the future, what will you use to open the door?
_____________________________________.
5.Are you able to take part in the entertainment on computer at home in the future?
_____________________________________.
