2．D。做此题可用排除法。根据题意，房子是被盗，因此排除主动形式A。因为房间被盗在先，发现在后，因此B的时态不对。不定式可以作宾语补足语，但C的时态不对，应为完成式to have been broken into。
3．C。选项中提供的动词accept与该句的主语存在逻辑上的动宾关系，因此谓语动词的形式应为被动形式。accept这一动作在apply之后发生，apply用的是过去完成时形式，那么，accept就应该用简单过去时形式。该句主语为neither，根据主谓一致原则，谓语动词应为单数形式的，因此正确笞案为C。
4．B。少数表示感觉的动词的主动形式可以表示被动意义，如smell，feel，taste等。
5．D。四个选项中都包含动词do，它与空档前的动词damage存在逻辑上的动宾关系，因此从句中的谓语动词应为被动行式。因此得出唯一表示被动的D选项为正确答案。
6．A。pay的用法为pay sb. for sth. 该句型的被动语态应为sb. is paid for sth. 所以只有A为正确答案。
7．C。四个选项中都出现了ever一词。它一般跟动词的完成时形式连用，因此排除A和D，B和C的区别在于时间，是过去完成还是现在完成。根据主句的时态可知，比较状语从句中谓语动词也应该是现在完成时形式。从句主语与省略掉的谓语动词之间存在动宾关系，因此谓语动词应是被动形式。C为正确答案。
8．D。四个选择都是动词谓语形式，都有develop一词，据此可断定develop为谓语动词，题中主句主语为computer，计算机被开发，因此排除主动式，即A和C，B和Ｄ的区别在于时态。根据题中now一词，即可得出正确选择Ｄ。题意： 具有人工智能的第六代计算机现在正在被开发和完善。
9．A。从这个句子的意思来看，remain与后面部分的意思是“有待进一步表明”。它在时间
上指将来。Ｄ不能表示将来，可以先排除。show与relationship存在逻辑上的动宾关系，show应为被动形式，因此B可排除。remain与show不存在明显的先后关系，show不必用完成时形式。因此，正确答案为A。
10．D。思想受到挑战，因此排除主动式，即A和B。根据题意，牛顿的想法正得到修改，
因此，已不是“可以受到挑战”，即C，而是“已经受到了挑战”，即D。
翻译：
The Greeks assumed that the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought, which took root in Europe long before people realized how diver languages could be.
参考译文：希腊人认为语言的结构和思维过程有某种联系，这种观点早在人们意识到语言的千差万别之前就已经在欧洲扎下了根。
