ⅱ、主動句轉換為被動句：
英語語態之間的轉換容易成為職稱英語完成句子題部分的考點， 因此在復習中需要掌握主動語態和被動語態之間的轉換方法。 主動句變為被動句是通過這樣轉換而實現的:
第一步：把主動句的賓語轉換為被動句的主語；
第二步：把主動句的謂語換成被動語態；
第三步：把主動句的主語前加by構成短語,放在被動語態的謂語之后。此by...短語根據需要而定，有時可以省略。
如： we use coal to heat homes.
動作執行者（主語） 謂語 賓語（動作承受者） 狀語
coal is used by us to heat homes.
動作承受者 謂語 動作執行者 狀語
注：
①帶有介詞或副詞的短語動詞，如call on（號召， 拜訪）, carry out（執行，完成）, look after, take care of等用被動語態時,應視為不可分割的一部分,后面的介飼或副詞不能丟掉,如:
主動句：grandma looks after my younger brother well. 奶奶把我弟弟照顧得很好。
被動句：my younger brother is well looked after (by my grandma).我弟弟受到了我奶奶很到的照顧。

nice name but she's so deadly
1 more than a million people in the united states were told to leave their homes over the weekend as hurricane (颶風) dennis headed to the gulf coast, after killing at least 15 people in the caribbean sea.
2 if you read the news often enough=, you may notice that all hurricanes are given names. why is that? remember, there can be more than one hurricane operating at one time. without naming them, we could get confused about which storm we're talking about.
3 for hundreds of years, hurricanes in the caribbean were named after the particular religious day on which they occurred. one australian meteorologist (氣象學家) began giving women's names to tropical storms at the end of the 19th century. in 1953, the us national weather service, which is responsible for tracking hurricanes and issuing warnings, began using female names for storms. by i979, both women and men's names were being used. one name for each letter of the alphabet (字母表) is selected, except for q, u and z.
4 so who decides which names are used' each year? the world meteorological organization uses six lists in rotation, so each list is reused every six years.
5 here's a list of the 2005 atlantic hurricanes, according to the us national hurricane centre: arlene, bret, cindy, dennis, emily, franklin, gert, harvey, irene, jose, katrina, lee, maria, nate, ophelia, philippe, rita, stan, tammy, vince, wilma.

該文章后的4道完成句子題中有3道（27題，29題和30題 ）涉及到被動語態結構， 而第30題的考點就是考察主動語態與被動語態之間的轉換。
30. d. 解析：30題所在的句子說“十九世紀末， 女性的名字開始...”。本題依據是第三段的第二句話：one australian meteorologist began giving women’s names to tropical storms at the end of the 19th century.(十九世紀末，一位澳大利亞的氣象學家開始用女性的名字來給熱帶風暴命名)。顯然答案應該是d（被給予熱帶風暴）。
主動語態： one australian meteorologist began giving women’s names to tropical storms
被動語態： women’s names started to be given to tropical names (by one australian meteorologist)
