下面一组练习是把主动语态跟被动语态作个比较. 练习的内容还是说到妇女 过去不准作的事情. 练习里的词汇都是我们刚才学过的. 练习的作法是老师 用 could not 作一个句子, 学生就用 weren't allowed 把句子改成 被动语态说出 来. 下面就是一个例子: (来源：EnglishCN英语问答中心[e问e答])

M:Women could not vote.

(来源：英语学习门户网站EnglishCN.com)

下面我们作一组综合练习, 复习不同时态的被动语态句子. 练习的作法是老 师提出一个问题, 比方 "过去女性受男性支配吗?" Were women dominated by men? 或者 "妇女一直被禁止担任公职吗?" Have women been prohibited from holding public office? 接着老师提出一个表明时态的词组, 你就把词组代 换到原来的句子里. 首先我们给你举一个例子,请你注意听.

下面我们再作一组练习比较主动语态跟被动语态. 练习的作法是老师用主动 语态说出一个句子,比方"社会对妇女加以限制"The society placed restrictions on women. 请你把句子改成被动语态, 并且用 by 指明动作执行者, 所以答案 就是: Restrictions were placed on women by the society. 在这一组练习里你可 以学习到美国妇女过去受到的限制跟他们多年来争取到的权利; 你也可以练 习许多跟妇女运动有关系的词汇, 比方 "保证" guarantee, "女权运动者" feminists, "支持" support, "男女平等权修正案" the equal rights amendment, "招收" admit 等等. 现在我们开始作练习. 每作完一句就请你听老师念正确 答案.

三.听短文回答问题

(来源：英语麦当劳－英语杂志 www.EnglishCN.com)

今天我们要听一篇谈美国妇女运动的文章. 这篇文章里有许多被动语态句子, 文章里许多词汇也是我们刚才练习过的.

现在请你注意听. (来源：英语分类信息 http://fl.englishcn.com)

America has been called a democracy since its independence more than 200 years ago.

However, at that time, only men were permitted to vote. Only men could own land and practice most professions. Women could not get a higher education or hold public office.

(来源：英语论坛 http://bbs.englishcn.com)

The woman's place was considered to be the home. Working women were not common.

(来源：英语资料下载 http://download.englishcn.com)

They usually had poor jobs and little respect.

Through the history of our country, many American women have worked to reduce the restrictions that society placed on them. They have met opposition. Slowly, however, the opportunities for women have increased. Colleges and universities were established for women. Later women were admitted to schools originally established only for men. (来源：英语图片 http://photo.englishcn.com)

In the early part of this century, American women were finally allowed to vote. During and since World War II American women have become a considerable part of the American work force.

(来源：最老牌的英语学习网站 EnglishCN.com)

Today, many women in America hold important positions or are pursuing careers that they could not pursue in the past. But many women are dissatisfied with the current situation. They point out that women are often paid less than men for the same work they do. (来源：英语资料下载 http://download.englishcn.com)

The top positions in nearly all fields are still overwhelmingly held by men. In many ways, a woman's life is still dominated by her father or her husband. (来源：专业英语学习网站 http://www.EnglishCN.com)

Recently women worked to get an amendment to the U.S. Constitution guaranteeing their rights. The equal rights amendment, as it was called, was supported by most congressmen and most states. It did not get the support of two-thirds of the states which is necessary for a constitutional amendment. Nevertheless, the role and the rights of American women is an important concern in the U.S. today. (来源：英语图片 http://photo.englishcn.com)
