下面我们作一组综合练习, 复习不同时态的被动语态句子. 练习的作法是老 师提出一个问题, 比方 "过去女性受男性支配吗?" Were women dominated by men? 或者 "妇女一直被禁止担任公职吗?" Have women been prohibited from holding public office? 接着老师提出一个表明时态的词组, 你就把词组代 换到原来的句子里. 首先我们给你举一个例子,请你注意听.

M: Were women dominated by men?

M: have been

F: Have women been dominated by men?

M: are being

F: Are women being dominated by men?

M: should be

F: Should women be dominated by men?

现在我们开始作练习. 每作完一句, 老师就会念出正确答案给你听.

M: Have women been encouraged to pursue a career?

M: were

F: Were women encouraged to pursue a career?

M: are being

F: Are women being encouraged to pursue a career?

M: need to be

下面老师换了一个句子.

M: are being

F: Are women being prohibited from holding public office?

M: should be

F: Should women be prohibited from holding public office?

M: can be

下面老师又换了一个句子.

M: Was it considered improper for a woman to have a profession?

M: has been

F: Has it been considered improper for a woman to have a profession?

M: is

F: Is it considered improper for a woman to have a profession?

M: should be

F: Should it be considered improper for a woman to have a profession?

下面我们再作一组练习比较主动语态跟被动语态. 练习的作法是老师用主动 语态说出一个句子,比方"社会对妇女加以限制"The society placed restrictions on women. 请你把句子改成被动语态, 并且用 by 指明动作执行者, 所以答案 就是: Restrictions were placed on women by the society. 在这一组练习里你可 以学习到美国妇女过去受到的限制跟他们多年来争取到的权利; 你也可以练 习许多跟妇女运动有关系的词汇, 比方 "保证" guarantee, "女权运动者" feminists, "支持" support, "男女平等权修正案" the equal rights amendment, "招收" admit 等等. 现在我们开始作练习. 每作完一句就请你听老师念正确 答案.

M: The society placed restrictions on women.

F: Restrictions were placed on women by the society.

M: Men did not respect working women.
