典型例题
1) _____ some officials, Napoleon
inspected his army.
A. Followed B. Followed
by C. Being
followed D. Having
been followed
答案B. Napoleon 与follow 之间有被动的含义。being followed除表达被动之外,还有动作正在进行之意。 followed by (被…跟随)。本题可改为: With some officials following,
Napoleon inspected his army.
2)There was a terrible noise ___
the sudden burst of light.
A. followed B. following C. to be followed D. being followed
答案B. 由于声音在闪电后,因此为声跟随着光,声音为跟随的发出者,为主动。用现在分词。
3) _______, liquids can be
changed into gases.
A. Heating B. To be
heated C. Heated D. Heat
答案C. 本题要选一分词作为状语。现在分词表主动,正在进行的;过去分词表被动的,已经完成的。对于液体来说是加热的受动者,是被动的,因而选C。它相当于一个状语从句 When it is
heated,…
注意: 选择现在分词还是过去分词,关键看主句的主语。如分词的动作是主句的主语发出,分词就选用现在分词,反之就用过去分词。
