GMAT考试中考察being的用法比较多,很多考生一看到being想都不想就排除这是错误的,虽然很多错误选项包含being的累赘,但是也不能完全盲目排除,毕竟being还是有正确用法的,不能再通过being直接判断选项,今天我们就说一下GMAT语法考试being的考察。
Being正确用法:
1. Very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane when he attempted his solo transatlantic flight, Charles Lindbergh refused to carry even a pound of mail, despite being offered $1,000 to do so.
用法:being + adj 做的是“状语”,此时必须去掉being(不表达句意)
2. In his research paper, Dr. Frosh, medical director of the Payne Whitney Clinic, distinguishes between mood swings, which may be violent without being grounded in mental disease, and genuine manic-depressive psychosis.
用法:“介词+being done”------despite being done (correct)
3. Archaeologists in Ireland believe that a recently discovered chalice, which dates from the eighth century, was probably buried to keep it from being stolen by invaders.
用法:prep./固定接动名词的短语或动词+being,因为这是固定搭配,这里边就拿being当be动词的ing形式,自然很好理解,固定搭配-------keep from being done
4. The recent surge in the number of airplane flights has clogged the nation's air-traffic control system, leading to a 55-percent increase in delays at airports and prompting fears among some officials that safety is being compromised.
用法:现在进行时态的被动形式
5. Framed by traitorous colleagues, Alfred Dreyfus was imprisoned for twelve years before being exonerated and freed.
用法:“连词+being done” (逻主=句主) 逻辑主语:Alfred Dreyfus
6、n.+be动词+being+done 我们都知道being最典型的错误之一就是n.+being done,只要多加了一个be动词,这就成了合理的被动语态+进行时态,因此正确;
7、n.+being done,实际上being done是being引导的短语作n.的后置定语。
我们知道,分词短语可以作后置定语,那么为什么不直接用doing做后置定语,而用being done呢?就是有的时候这个doing的动作和被修饰的n.之间是被动关系,所以用being done来表示被动。
我总结出,being其实只有两种对的可能。第一是做动名词,第二就是表被动且表进行时的被动
首先第一种动名词,可以是being xxx作主语,或者是跟在介词后面,或者是固定搭配,比如avoid后面就要接名词词性的东西。
第二种表被动且进行时的被动,比如说with sth done和with sth being done在语法上都是对的,区别是什么呢,就是后者表示进行时。我自己分析了一下前人挑出来的being的正确句子,个人感觉比如句子整个是现在时的话,普遍都是需要being done的。
