考点三:一些常用经典被动句型:
It is said…, It is reported…, It is widely believed…, It is expected…, It is estimated…,
这些句子一般翻译为“据说……”,“人们认为……”,
而 “以前人们认为……” 则应该说:It was believed…, It was thought等。
动词时态和语态专项练习
语境中的时态和语态具有灵活多变的特点,因此找出隐含于上下文中的时间信息,正确认定动作行为所发生的时间是解题的关键。做动词时态和语态填空题时,常常按以下几个步骤:
注意题干所提供的信息,如语境、情景以及说话人的情感; (2)根据句中的时间状语以及一些副词判断时态; (3)考虑语态; (4)考虑时态的一致性。另外,复习时,还要涉及到短暂性动词与延续性动词,这两个概念一定要搞清。短暂性动词用于进行时态和完成时态都要受到限制。
