set up 有没有被动语态

Question

When _____ the Great Wall _____?

A. had; been built B. did; set up C. was; made of D. did; come into being

Answer 1

1. set up是一个及物动词短语，当然有被动语态。
如：He set up this organization in 1998.
变成被动即：This organization was set up by him in 1998.

2. 此题答案为D.
翻译：长城是什么时候形成/产生的？
解释：
1）when指对具体的一个过去动作发生的时间的提问，所以此时只需要用一般过去时，而不能用过去完成时，因为没有另外一个可以对比的过去的动作/时刻。
排除A；
2）被动语态中必须含有be动词，变疑问句时须把be动词提前，而不是did，排除B；
3）be made of后面必须要有宾语，但是when是一个副词，不能做介词of的宾语，what还差不多，排除C；
4）固定短语come into being“形成/成立”，是不及物动词短语，不能用被动语态，所以正确答案为D。
