A story _____ by Granny yesterday.

A. was told us B. was told to us

C. is told us D. told us

B 【解析】句意：昨天奶奶给我们讲了一个故事。tell sb. sth.告诉某人某事，在变成被动语态时，如果直接宾语sth.作为被动语态的主语，间接宾语sb.的前面要加上to，根据yesterday判断，句子的时态为一般过去时，主语与动词之间是被动的关系，故答案为B。

The monkey was seen _____ off the tree.

A. jump B. jumps C. jumped D. to jump

D 【解析】句意：猴子被看见从树上跳下来。本句是一般过去时的被动语态，其构成是：was/were+过去分词。句子缺补足语。当不定式用于表示感觉的动词see，feel，hear等后面作宾语补足语时，不定式要省略to；但当这些动词变为被动语态时，to则不能省略。故答案为D。

Older people ____ well.

A. looks after B. must be looked after

C. must look after D. looked after

B 【解析】句意：老年人必须得到很好的照顾。本题考查含情态动词的被动语态；含情态动词的被动语态的结构是"情态动词+ be + done"；题干中老人是“被照料”，A、C和D都是主动结构，故答案是B。

Our teacher ______ carefully.

A. should be listened to B. should be listen

C. be listened D. is listened

A 【解析】句意：应该认真听我们的老师讲课。老师与“听”之间构成被动关系，被动语态的构成为：be+及物动词的过去分词，如果是不及物动词，必须要加上介词，本题中的listen就是不及物动词，主动语态中带宾语时必须与to连用，此句是含有情态动词的被动语态，故答案为A。

In some part of the world, tea _______ with milk and sugar.

A. is serving B. is served

C. serves D. served

B 【解析】句意：世界上某些地区，茶里会添加牛奶和糖。本题考查被动语态，根据句意判断，“tea”和“serve（供应）”之间是被动的关系，故用被动语态表达来，A、C和D选项都是主动语态，故答案选B。

Thomas Edison was a great American inventor. He was born on February 11th in 1847 at Milan, Ohio and died on October 18, 1931. When he was a child he was always trying out new ideas.

One day when he was five years old, his father saw him sitting on some eggs. He asked him why he was doing that. Tom did not answer. Instead, he asked his father: “Hens are able to have chicks. Why can’t I?”

Young Tom was in school for only three months. During those three months he asked a lot of questions. Most of these questions were not about his lessons. His teacher did not understand him. The boy had so many strange questions. The teacher could not answer all of them. So he wanted to send Tom away from school. He told Tom’s mother that Tom was not clever, and he asked her to take the boy out of school.

So Tom’s mother took him out of school, and taught him herself. She taught him to read and write, and she found him a very good student. He learnt very fast. Even before he was ten he became very interested in science. He grew vegetables in his garden and sold them. With the money he set up a chemical laboratory in his home in 1857.

Thomas Edison had 1,368 inventions during his lifetime.

His first patented invention was an electrical recorder in 1868.
