答案:
16. D
译文：看来这根管子漏油已有一段时间了，我们只好拆开机器来排除故障。
本句是现在完成进行时的用法。
17. C
译文：牛顿虽然伟大，但他的不少见解如今却受到挑战，并且为当代科学家的工作所修正。
本句是被动语态的完成时的用法。他的见解受到挑战，应用被动结构。从上下文来推断，自从牛顿的见解被提出以来，不断受到当今科学家的挑战，表示从过去某个时间延续到现在，还可能延续下去，所以要用完成时。
18. D
译文：78 岁的丹尼斯爵士已经向众人宣布将把他的许多收藏品献给国家。
本句是被动语态的将来时的用法。许多收藏品“被”丹尼斯捐献给国家，为一被动结构。从四个选项来看，只有D)符合题意。“be to ＋动词原形”所表示的将来时含有预定、义务、可能、命令或吩咐等。 |
