这个单元有 5 章:主题课文"我爸妈第一次用智能手机"、词汇延展(科技/通讯/社交媒体词族)、语法延展(被动语态入门:现在时/过去时/情态 + be done)、功能句型(谈技术、写 Email)、PET 考点与自测 + 下一站 FCE。
学完你能:用 80+ 科技与通讯词聊"手机/邮件/AI/社交平台";把主动句改成被动句;在 PET 写作 Part 1 Email 里写一封"建议家人用科技"的 100 词短信;口语 Part 4 回答"科技对年轻人的影响"。
预计时间:1 周。
衔接说明:这是 PET 的收官单元。被动语态是 B1 语法的最后一块拼图,也是 FCE(B2 First)的重点——U8 学完,PET 的语法体系就完整了,第 5 章末尾告诉你下一站怎么走。
Technology & Communication = 科技/通讯词族 + 被动语态 + 技术讨论句型。课文带你看 16 岁的 Leo 教爸妈用智能手机,词汇按"设备/沟通方式/社交媒体/AI 与网络"分组,语法把"被…"一次讲透。
主题课文 · 我爸妈的第一部智能手机
课文 · A Screen for Mum and Dad
课文精讲 · B1 版"被字句"四步
论从"我妈用手机"到"手机被我妈用来发照片"
KET 版:Mum uses a phone. Dad sends photos. Grandma is happy.——全是主动句,谁做什么一目了然。
PET 版:① 不知道/不必说谁做(The phone was kept in a drawer);② 强调动作承受者(Everything is read on the phone);③ 客观/正式语体(Digital skills should be taught);④ 带情态的被动(It can be done in five minutes)。
考试怎么考:PET 阅读 Part 5 完形最爱挖被动;写作 Part 2 用一两个被动句立刻显得"正式"。口语 Part 4 谈科技时,被动句让你听起来更客观、更像 B1。
① download an app 下载应用(download / upload 区分)
② forward a message 转发消息
③ pay bills online 在线付账
④ digital skills 数字技能
⑤ be confused 感到困惑(形容词化的被动)
词汇延展 · 科技、通讯与社交媒体词族
四组词族 · 设备、动作、社交、网络
(可参看「科技社交词族」深化页)| 组 | 核心词 | 搭配/备注 |
|---|---|---|
| 设备 | smartphone, mobile phone, laptop, tablet, desktop, keyboard, screen, charger, headset, printer, camera, battery, Wi-Fi, signal | mobile phone(英式)= cellphone(美式) |
| 沟通动作 | call, text, message, email, chat, video call, forward, share, post, upload, download, tag, like, comment, delete, save | text = 发短信(动词) |
| 社交媒体 | social media, app, profile, feed, follower, timeline, hashtag, viral, influencer, privacy, settings, notification | social media 不可数总称 |
| 网络与 AI | internet, website, search engine, online, offline, data, password, account, AI, robot, algorithm, click, stream, download | go online / be online |
① download vs upload:download = 下载到本机;upload = 上传到网络。别反。
② email 可数 vs 不可数:I sent an email(可数,一封邮件);Email is fast(不可数,邮件系统)。
③ social media 不可数:Social media is everywhere.(不加 s)
④ phone 动词:Call me / Phone me / Text me 都对;口语 phone sb. 比 ring sb. 更正式。
语法延展 · 被动语态入门
被动语态的"四步变形法"
| 步骤 | 说明 + 例子 |
|---|---|
| ① 找宾语 | The neighbours told my dad... → 宾语 my dad |
| ② 宾语挪到主语位 | My dad ______ |
| ③ 动词变 be + done(时态跟着原句走) | 原句过去时 → was told:My dad was told... |
| ④ 原主语用 by + 宾格(可省) | ...by the neighbours.(不知道/不必说时省略) |
三类被动对照表
(可参看「过去/情态被动」深化页)| 类型 | 结构 | 例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 一般现在时被动 | am/is/are + done | The phone is used every day. / Messages are written by bots. |
| 一般过去时被动 | was/were + done | The phone was kept in a drawer. / A message was forwarded to us. |
| 情态动词被动 | modal + be + done | It can be done in five minutes. / Digital skills should be taught at school. |
| 否定被动 | be/modal + not + done | It wasn't kept on the table. / You shouldn't be fooled by fake news. |
| 疑问被动 | Be/Modal + 主语 + done? | Was it made in China? / Can it be done online? |
① be 随时态/人称变:The phone is made. / The phones are made. / It was made.(be 不能忘)
② 过去分词不是过去式:主动 wrote;被动 written(be written)。不规则分词要背:make-made, send-sent, give-given, write-written.
③ 什么时候用被动:不知道谁做的(My bike was stolen);不必说谁做的(Rice is grown in China);强调承受者(The murderer was arrested)。
④ 什么时候不用被动:动词不及物(happen / arrive / sleep)没有被动;自己发出的动作用主动。
⑤ 考试怎么考:PET 阅读 Part 5 完形最爱挖 be + 过去分词空。看到主语是"被怎么"的对象,立刻找 be + done。
常见不规则过去分词(B1 必背)
| 原形 | 过去式 | 过去分词 | 被动例子 |
|---|---|---|---|
| make | made | made | The phone is made in China. |
| send | sent | sent | The email was sent yesterday. |
| give | gave | given | A present was given to me. |
| write | wrote | written | The message is written by a bot. |
| steal | stole | stolen | My bike was stolen last week. |
| design | designed | designed | The app was designed for kids. |

下一站 · FCE(B2 First)
论PET 收官:你已经走完了 B1 的全部语法与话题
PET 语法地图回顾:U1-U4 打基础(现在/过去/将来时、比较、频度、现在完成时);U5 将来时双雄;U6 情态家族;U7 条件句;U8 被动语态。这就是 B1 语法的全部天花板。
FCE(B2 First)会加什么:① 完成时被动(has been done)、将来时被动(will be done)、情态被动的语体功能;② 第三条件句(If + had done, would have done)谈过去虚拟;③ 关系从句、分词短语、间接引语;④ 写作从 100 词 Email 升级到"文章/报告/评论"200 词。
词汇量要求:PET 约 2500 词;FCE 约 4000-5000 词。你现在背的每个词族,到 FCE 都要再加一层抽象搭配(如 put off / come up with 这类短语动词)。
现在就做:把 PET 八单元的错题集中过一遍,然后打开 FCE(B2 First)总览页,看看 B2 的四模块长什么样——下一站,从这里出发。
