Great as Newton was, many of his ideas _______ today and are being modified by the work of scientists of our time. A．are to challenge B．may be challenged C．have been challenged D．are challenging

Answer 1

C

考查时态。句意“尽管牛顿很伟大，但是他的很多想法在当今已经受到挑战了，正在被当代的科学家进行修改。”发生在过去的事情，对现在造成的影响，用现在完成时。主语是复数，故谓语用原形have。Ideas和challenge是动宾关系，用被动语态。故选C。
