  被动语态是英语的语法重点之一,其中现在进行时的被动语态则是高中学生英语学习中的难点。现对进行时的被动语态的结构和用法结合08年高考作些总结,供大家学习时参考。
  
  一、 基本结构
  
  1. 肯定形式:“助动词be(am / is / are) + being + 过去分词”,其中的is, am, are表明谓语动词的动作发生的时间为现在,并随着作主语的名词(代词)的人称和数的不同而使用其中的某一个形式; being done则表示正在进行的被动动作。例如:
  The bridge over the river is being rebuilt. 这条河上的桥正在重建。
  2. 否定形式:把否定词not放在助动词be(am / is / are)之后,即:”be(am / is /are) + not + being + 过去分词”。如有多个助动词,则not放在第一个助动词之后。例如:
  New nature parks are not being started in China. 中国不准备建新的自然公园。
  The room is not being cleaned now. 现在没人打扫房间。
  3. 一般疑问句形式:把助动词be(am / is / are)移到句首并大写首字母,句末加问号,即:“Be(Am / Is / Are) + 主语 + being + 过去分词”。例如:
  Is money being collected for the broadband project? 正在筹集大项目的钱款吗?
  4. 特殊疑问句形式:多数情况下,其构成方法是把疑问代词或疑问副词直接加在一般疑问句之前,具体情况可分为以下三种:
  ① “疑问代词(作主语) + is being + 过去分词 + 其他”。例如:
  What is being done on the life of pandas? 正在采取什么措施保护大熊猫的生命?
  ② “疑问代词(作定语) + 名词 + is /are being + 过去分词 + 其他” 例如:
  Whose buildings are being built in the town? 镇上正在建谁的楼房?
  ③ “疑问副词 + is / are + 主语 + being + 过去分词 + 其他” 例如:
  Where is the elk being studied by scientists? 科学家们正在研究的麋鹿在哪里呢?
  
  二、 常见的四种基本用法
  
  1. 表示现在正在进行的被动动作,即谓语动词表示的动作此刻正在进行;这是被动语态的基本形式。例如:
  The project is being discussed at the meeting. 这个方案正在会上讨论。
  A new film is being shown in the town hall. 一部新影片正在市镇礼堂放映。
  2. 表示现阶段正在进行的被动动作,即谓语动词表示的动作在目前阶段正在进行。例如:
  Socialism is being built very fast in our country, which is known all over the world. 社会主义正在我们国家快速建设,这一点是全世界所共知的。
  3. 表示一种经常性的被动行为,常和always, constantly等表示频度的副词连用。这种用法常常带有赞扬或厌恶的感情色彩。例如:
  He is always being praised by the leader. 他总是受到领导的表扬。
  I feel very puzzled that the goods in our shop are always being stolen. 我感到很迷惑,我们商店的商品老是被盗。
  4. 与部分情态动词连用,表示对谓语动词正在进行的动作的一种推测。例如:
  She may be being interviewed at the very moment. 她此刻也许正在接受面试。
  
  三、 被动语态使用中的常见错误
  
  1. 在现在进行时的被动语态中, am, is, are为第一助动词, being为第二助动词,缺一不可,且不可互换位置。例如:
  法律正在修改以保障妇女儿童的权利。
  【误】 The laws being revised to protect the rights of women and children.
  【正】 The laws are being revised to protect the rights of women and children.
  注:在文章标题、广告、新闻中使用此类结构时,常省略助动词be, 因此出现了being紧跟主语的情况。例如:
  English teachers being wanted. 英语教师正在热聘中。(广告用语, being前省略了助动词are)
  
  四、现在进行时的被动语态高考考题分析
  
  1. Rainforests ________ and burned at such a speed that they will disappear from the earth in the near future. (08上海春)
  A. cut B. are cut
  C. are being cut D. had been cut
  【分析】答案选C。rainforests是cut的承受者,cut rainforests为动宾关系,应用被动语态;由后文“将会从地球上消失”可知目前“正在被砍伐”。
  2.—Have you moved into the new house?
  —Not yet, the rooms ________.(08全国卷)
  A. are being painted
  B. are painting
  C. are painted
  D. are being painting
  【分析】答案选A。the room是paint的承受者,即paint与the room是动宾关系,应当用被动语态;从语境可知,房子正在粉刷中,用现在进行时的被动语态。
  3. A new cinema ________ here. They hope to finish it next month. (08北京春)
  A. will be built B. is built
  C. has been built D. is being built
  【分析】答案选D。四个选项都是被动语态,关键是判断用哪种时态;由They hope to finish it next month. 可知,电影院目前还正在被修建,应当用现在进行时。
