◆ 典例剖析
现在进行时的被动语态是考查重点，在解题中要十分注意其使用的场合以及表达的结构。这里结合一些典型考题对现在进行时被动语态的用法加以深入细致的分析，以使我们认识到该语态命题的方向、思路以及解题的方法。
—Have you moved into the new house?
—Not yet.The rooms ________.
A．are being painted　　　B．are painting
C．are painted D．are being painting
解析：通过题干情景，我们不难看出，由于正在粉刷，因此还不能搬进新房子。分析选项，B项语态不对；C项时态不对；D项结构错误，所以正确答案应该是A。
答案：A
—Look！Everything here is under construction.
—What's the pretty small house that______ still______ for?
A．is，being built B．has，been built
C．is，built D．is，been built
解析：解题时应首先突破答语的结构：“What's ＋ 主语 ＋for？”整个答语的意思是：“正在建设中的这座漂亮小房子是干什么用的？”主语带有一个定语从句，从句应该使用现在进行时的被动语态，所以答案应该是A。
答案：A
Selecting a mobile phone for personal use is no easy task because technology ________ so rapidly.
A．is changing B．has changed
C．will have changed D．will change
解析：答案为A。此题考查现在进行时态的用法。句意为“选择一部移动电话不是一件容易的事，因为科技发展得十分迅速。”本句的主句一般现在时表达的是目前的情况，而“科技发展迅速”也是现阶段正存在的一种状态，不是在过去，也不是在将来，因此只能用现在进行时表达。
答案：A
