句型梳理
① 【教材原句】 This is a painting by the Spanish artist，Pablo Picasso，considered to be the greatest western artist of the twentieth century.(P33)
这是西班牙画家巴勃罗?毕加索的一幅油画，他被认为是20世纪西方最伟大的艺术家。
【句法分析】 considered to be the greatest western artist of the twentieth century是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰Pablo Picasso。过去分词(短语)作定语，与所修饰词语之间通常存在被动关系，少数过去分词也可表示完成，不表示被动。
①The government decided to rebuild the damaged bridge.
政府决定重新修复那座被毁坏的大桥。
②The electric bicycle produced by our factory is of high quality.
我们厂生产的电动车质量很高。
③The fox(which was)shot in the legs couldn’t run any longer.

A．to question B．to be questioned
C．questioned D．questioning

【即境活用】
13．(高考北京卷)I’m calling to enquire about the position__________in yesterday’s China Daily.
A．advertised B．to be advertised
C．advertising D．having advertised
解析：选A。句意：我打电话来是想询问一下有关昨天在《中国日报》上刊登的招聘职位的情况。本题考查非谓语动词作后置定语。空格处部分作position的定语，与position在逻辑上是被动关系，根据句意“职位已在昨天的报纸上被刊登”，表示被动及完成，故A项符合题意。
② 【教材原句】 What do you make of (it)？(P38)
你认为它怎么样？
【句法分析】 (1)此句相当于What do you think of...？或What’s your opinion of...?
make of 常用于what 引导的疑问句或否定句中。
①What do you make of this latest idea?
你对这个最新的计划有何看法？
