课程标准要求中学生掌握常见的十种时态用法。近三年来各地试题考查最多的是一般过去时、过去完成时、过去进行时、现在完成进行时和现在完成时。高考中动词时态命题，每年每份试卷中都有2～3个小题，每小题均设置明确的语境。一般来说，命题人总是把易混淆或相近的时态放在一起，增加考题的难度。而被动语态的考点大都集中在被动语态的时态，近三年来考查最多的时态是现在完成时，其次是一般过去时。1．(2016·福建，26)The girl has a great interest in sport and ________ badminton classes twice a week over the last three years.A．took

1．测试语态实际上也同时在测试时态。在做涉及动词的时态和语态的单项选择题时，分两步走：先确定语态，然后再敲定时态。如果主语是动作的执行者，就用主动语态；如果主语是动作的承受者，则用被动语态。时态要根据上下文、句意和句子结构来确定，遵循“时态呼应”原则。
2．不及物动词，如happen，occur，belong，take place等没有被动语态。
如The accident happened last night.
昨夜发生了交通事故。
The car belonged to Black.这辆车属于Black。
3．被动语态的助动词be有时可以换成get，构成“get＋过去分词”的被动结构。例如：They got married at last.
他们最终结为伉俪。About 30 passengers got killed in that terrible traffic accident.在那次特大交通事故中约有30名乘客丧生。
4．短语动词的被动语态，不要丢掉动词后面的介词或副词。

A．was felt
B．is felt
C．felt
D．feels
【例】 Professor Williams keeps telling his students that the future ________to the well－educated.
A．belongs
B．is belonged

(3)形容词worth doing中doing的主动式表被动意义。如：
The story is worth reading.
(4)某些及物动词如read，write，wash，sell，cut，lock等表示主语的某种属性；或表示开始、结束、运动的动词，如open，start，begin，move等都可用主动形式表被动意义。如：
