LEAD IN
When do we use the passive voice?
1. 不知道动作是谁做的(执行者未知)
例句:My bike was stolen yesterday.(不知道小偷是谁,不用 by)
2. 没必要说出动作执行者(人人都知道)
例句:A lot of trees are planted every spring.
(大家都知道是人们种树,不用写 by people)
3. 重点想强调承受动作的事物(突出宾语)
想突出 “新火箭”,不用科学家做主语:
Passive: A new rocket will be launched.
4. 科技、客观说明、说明文、科普文章(最常用)
课本太空主题全部大量被动:Exoplanets have been discovered.
5. 委婉表达、正式书面语、公文
It is said that… 据说…… It is thought that… 人们认为……

So far, more than 5,000 exoplanets __________________ (know) to us, and as technology improves, many more _______________ (find). Some exoplanets are similar to Earth. They are of a similar size and temperature, and they might have water. Scientists are excited about this. It ____________ (think) that if there is water, there might also be alien life!
is filled
discovered
move

will be found
is thought
/ˈeksəʊplænɪt/ n. 系外行星
/ˈsəʊlə(r)/ adj. 太阳的;太阳能的
What are exoplanets?
Exoplanets are planets that move around stars outside our solar system. They do not go around the Sun. Scientists have found thousands of them so far, and some are similar to Earth in size and temperature.
What are your views on finding life on another planet?
I think it is possible to find life on other exoplanets. First, many planets have water and proper temperature, which are basic conditions for living things. However, it will take a very long time and high technology to find alien life. We should keep exploring space with scientific methods.
/ˈeksəʊplænɪt/ n. 系外行星
EXERCISE
一、基础填空:用 will be done 正确形式填空
A new spaceship ________________ (send) to Mars next year.
All the old equipment __________ (not replace) until next month.

A new space lab will be built (by workers).
2.The teacher will check our space reports.
Our space reports will be checked (by the teacher).
3.Will they start the space project soon?

SUMMARY
(一)核心语法:一般将来时被动语态
1. 构成公式
肯定句:主语 + will be + 动词过去分词 (done)
否定句:主语 + will not (won’t) be + 过去分词
一般疑问句:Will + 主语 + be + 过去分词?
2. 含义
强调将来某个时间,主语被……(承受动作),不知道 / 不需要强调动作执行者时使用。
3. 课本例句拆解
More astronauts will be sent there.
A new home will be needed.
Our understanding will be greatly improved.
(二)主动语态变被动语态三步法则
把原句宾语提到句首,作被动句主语;
谓语动词改为 will be + 过去分词;
原句主语前加 by,放句子末尾(可省略)。
例:
Active: We will build a station.
Passive: A station will be built (by us).
(三)拓展关联被动结构(4c 短文出现)
现在完成时被动:have/has been done
thousands of exoplanets have been discovered
系外行星已经被发现
2.固定句型:It is thought that… 人们认为……(通用被动句型)
(四)不规则动词过去分词重点(本单元高频)
send — sent;continue — continued;
need — needed;improve — improved
require — required;position — positioned;
cancel — canceled;publish — published;
launch — launched;fill — filled;find — found
