典型例題

　1）_____ some officials, Napoleon inspected his army.
A. Followed　 B. Followed by　 C. Being followed　 D. Having been followed

　答案B. Napoleon 與follow 之間有被動的含義。being followed除表達被動之外，還有動作正在進行之意。 followed

by（被…跟隨）。本題可改為:With some officials following, Napoleon inspected his army.

　
　2）There was a terrible noise ___ the sudden burst of light.　
A. followed　 B. following　 C. to be followed　 D. being followed

　答案B. 由于聲音在閃電后，因此為聲跟隨著光，聲音為跟隨的發(fā)出者，為主動。用現(xiàn)在分詞。

　
　3）_______, liquids can be changed into gases.
A. Heating　 B. To be heated　 C. Heated　 D. Heat

　答案C.

本題要選一分詞作為狀語。現(xiàn)在分詞表主動，正在進行的；過去分詞表被動的，已經(jīng)完成的。對于液體來說是加熱的受動者，是被動的，因而選C。它相當(dāng)于一個狀語從句 When
it is heated，…

注意： 選擇現(xiàn)在分詞還是過去分詞，關(guān)鍵看主句的主語。如分詞的動作是主句的主語發(fā)出，分詞就選用現(xiàn)在分詞，反之就用過去分詞。

(Being ) used for a long time, the book looks old.
　 由于用了很長時間，這本書看上去很舊。

Using the book, I find it useful.
　 在使用的過程中，　我發(fā)現(xiàn)這本書很有用。
