Ⅲ.语法专练
本单元语法――现在进行时的被动语态
1．(2010•陕西卷)It is reported that many a new house________at present in the disaster area.
A．are being built
B．were being built
C．was being built
D．is being built
解析： 句意为：据报道，目前在这个受灾地区正在建很多新房子。本题考查的是主谓一致和时态。many a：a large number of 许多。many a＋单数名词＋单数动词。如：Many a strong man has weakened before such a challenge.很多坚强的人面对这种挑战都动摇了。Many a famous pop star has been ruined by drugs.很多著名的流行音乐歌星都因毒品而被毁了。根据谓语动词应该用单数，排除A和B两项。根据at present，时态应该是现在时态，所以D选项是正确的。
答案： D
2．―Have you handed in your schoolwork yet?
―Yes，I have.I guess it________now.
A．has graded
B．is graded
C．is being graded

3．(2010•南通一模)Now the world’s attention________the stocking markets，as they have great influence in the world’s economy.
A．is fixing on B．has fixed on

答案： C
4．(2010•4月济南模拟)―Flight MU257________.I must be off now.
―Have a nice trip.
A．is being announced B．has announced
C．was announcing D．had been announced
解析： 考查动词的时态和语态。从语境知“MU257航班正在通知(登机中)”，此处强调“现在这个时刻正在进行”的动作，所以用现在进行时，同时announce与Flight MU257又是动宾关系，故用“现在进行时的被动语态”。
答案： A
5．(2010•东北三省四市联考)―What’s that terrible noise，David?
―Oh，I forgot to tell you.The new machines in the nearby plant________.
A．were tested B．will be tested
C．are being tested D．have been tested
解析： 考查动词的时态。根据问句中的What’s that terrible noise 可知，这里应该用进行时态，噪音是机器正在被检测时发出的，所以用现在进行时的被动语态。
答案： C
