spoken是动词speak的过去分词形式，在句中作定语，修饰主语 language, spoken 与 language有被动关系。该句可以理解为：

典型例题
1） _____ some officials, Napoleon
inspected his army.
A. Followed B. Followed
by C. Being
followed D. Having
been followed
答案B. Napoleon 与follow 之间有被动的含义。being followed除表达被动之外，还有动作正在进行之意。 followed by （被…跟随）。本题可改为： With some officials following,
Napoleon inspected his army.
2）There was a terrible noise ___
the sudden burst of light.
A. followed B. following C. to be followed D. being followed
答案B. 由于声音在闪电后，因此为声跟随着光，声音为跟随的发出者，为主动。用现在分词。
3） _______, liquids can be
changed into gases.
A. Heating B. To be
heated C. Heated D. Heat
答案C. 本题要选一分词作为状语。现在分词表主动，正在进行的；过去分词表被动的，已经完成的。对于液体来说是加热的受动者，是被动的，因而选C。它相当于一个状语从句 When it is
heated，…
注意： 选择现在分词还是过去分词，关键看主句的主语。如分词的动作是主句的主语发出，分词就选用现在分词，反之就用过去分词。
(Being ) used for a long time, the book looks old.
由于用了很长时间，这本书看上去很旧。
Using the book, I find it useful.
在使用的过程中， 我发现这本书很有用。
9.3 连词+分词(短语)
有时为使分词短语与主句关系更清楚，可在分词前加连词。 连词有： when，while，if though，after, before, as. 但分词的主语和主句的主语必须为同一个，如：
While waiting there,
he saw two pretty girls come out of the building.
waiting 和saw 的主语相同。
9.4 分词作补语
通常在感官动词和使役动词之后，如：
I found my car
missing. 我发现我的车不见了。
I'll have my watch
repaired. 我想把我的手表修一下。

cooking. 她由于忙着做饭，看上去有些疲倦。

beside the table. 他依然站在桌旁。
9.6 分词作插入语
其结构是固定的，意思上的主语并不是句子的主语。

of) 说道

all things considered 从整体来看
taking all things into
consideration 全面看来

jumped with joy. 听到这一消息，他高兴得手舞足蹈。

found the boy dead. 刚一到那儿，他们就发现那男孩死了。
典型例题
The secretary worked
late into the night, ___a long speech for the president.
A. to prepare B. preparing C. prepared D. was preparing
答案 B. 此处没有连词，不能选D，否则出现了两个谓语动词worked和was preparing。 只能在B，C中选一个。又因前后两个动作同时发生，且与主语为主动关系，应用现在分词。
2）先于主动词
While walking in the
garden，he hurt his leg. 在花园里散步时他伤了腿。
分词作时间状语，如果先与主动词的动作，且强调先后， 要用having done。
Having finished his
homework, he went out.
=As he had finished
his homework, he went out.
做完作业后，他出去了。
典型例题
___ a reply, he
decided to write again.
A. Not receiving B. Receiving not C. Not having
received D. Having not
received
答案C. 本题考查分词的时态与分词的否定式。根据题意判断，分词的动作（接信）发生在谓语动词的动作（决心再写信）之前，因此用分词的完成式。分词的否定式的构成为not +分词，故选C。该句可理解为：Because he had not
received a reply, he decided to write again.
9.8 分词的语态
1）通常，现在分词表示主动，过去分词表示被动，例如：
He is the man giving you the money. (= who gave you…) 他就是给你钱的那个人。
He is the man stopped by the car. ( = who was stopped
by…)
他就是那个被车拦住的人。
2）不及物动词的过去分词表示动作已经发生

例: a well-read person. 一个读过许多书的人
a much-travelled may 一个去过许多地方的人
