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(dòng)的含義。being followed除表達(dá)被動(dòng)之外,還有動(dòng)作正在進(jìn)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(dòng)。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?,F(xiàn)在分詞表主動(dòng),正在進(jìn)行的;過去分詞表被動(dòng)的,已經(jīng)完成的。對(duì)于液體來說是加熱的受動(dòng)者,是被動(dòng)的,因而選C。它相當(dāng)于一個(gè)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(dòng)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(zhǎng)時(shí)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。
