Textbook (P38)
Walking home a few days ago, I saw that reconstruction work was being done on the old market. It would be turned into a modern shopping mall. The old gate was being torn down by some people. The wooden stands were being removed. Rubbish was being cleared away from the floor. While all this was going on, photos were being taken by a journalist. The resulting story in the local newspaper divided the people of the town: some were in favour of the new shopping mall, and some were against it.
三、基本用法
1.表示过去某个时间点正在进行的被动动作，经常和时间副词then，at this time last week，at this moment yesterday 等连用。
This issue was being discussed at this moment yesterday by the journalists.
昨天这个时候这个议题正在被记者们讨论。
2.表示过去某个阶段正在进行的被动动作(说话时动作不一定正在进行)。
It is said that his tablet was being repaired last Friday in the shop.
据说他的平板电脑上周五正在店里被维修。
3.进行时的被动语态可以由“was/were＋under/on等介词＋名词”结构代替。
Many new inventions were on exhibition in the museum at this time last year.
＝Many new inventions were being exhibited in the museum at this time last year.
去年的这个时候许多新发明正在博物馆被展出。
He didn’t stay in my room last night because it was under repair.
＝He didn’t stay in my room last night because it was being repaired.
昨天晚上他没有住在我房间里，因为我的房间正在被修缮。
3.进行时的被动语态可以由“was/were＋under/on等介词＋名词”结构代替。
under：under control（受控制）, under treatment（在治疗中）, under repair（在修理中）, under discussion（在讨论中）, under construction（在施工中）。
on: on display(在展览中)
四、过去进行时的被动语态与一般过去时的被动语态的区别
过去进行时的被动语态强调动作发生的过程，一般过去时的被动语态强调动作的结果。
Several patients were being treated in the local hospital then.(表示被动进行的动作)
当时有几个病人正在当地医院接受治疗。
Several patients were treated in the local hospital then.(表示过去发生的动作)
当时有几个病人在当地医院接受治疗。

Read the passage and answer the questions. Pay attention to the expressions in bold.
More than 40 years ago, China began to implement the reform and opening-up policy, starting out on a journey that would pave the way for China to become a fully-modernised socialist country. The policy has had a great influence on Chinese society. It has allowed China to accomplish in just four decades what took Western industrialised countries more than 200 years to achieve, breaking new ground in the history of human achievement. This ongoing journey is allowing China to share the fruits of its success and develop further alongside other countries. What’s more, the Belt and Road Initiative will mean a new dawn for trade and investment between countries, leading into a new era of prosperity.
v. 执行，贯彻
V.完成，实现.
