Sir Denis, who is 78, has made it known that much of his collection ____to the nation. (CET-4 1996, 6)
A) has left B) is to leave
C) leaves D) is to be left
本句意思为:78岁的Denis先生声明他将把他的大多数收藏品留给国家。所以leave应用一般将来时的被动形式。一般将来时可以用来be to do sth表达,因此答案为D.
过去将来时:would be+given
【例句】

现在进行时:am/is/are being+given
【例句】
The machine is being repaired in the workshop. The fifth generation computers, with artificial intelligence, are ____and perfected now. ( CET-4 1996,1)
A) developed B) have developed C) are being developed D) will have been developed
本句测试点是动词的时态和语态。develop和perfect是两个并列的谓语动词,perfect用的是被动形式,develop也应该用被动形式,而且句子的时间状语为now,故develop应用现在进行时的被动语态,答案为C。
过去进行时:was/were being+given
