【答案详解】
1. D。句子的主语是all the employees(复数)，而不是the manager，排除答案A和C；又根据encourage sb to do sth这一句式可知all the employees与encourage是被动关系，要用被动语态，排除B。
2. D。由is dirty和for weeks可知，此处要用现在完成时态，排除B和C；又因为It (=The window)与clean是被动关系，要用被动语态，所以选D。
3. D。因为patients与treat是被动关系，谓语要用被动语态，排除A和B；this year (今年)应当包括现在在内，所以要用现在完成时，所以选D。
4. A。因为the painting与expect (预料、估计) 是被动关系，要用被动语态，被动语态由“be+过去分词”构成，所以只有A正确。
5. C。因为I与invite是被动关系，要用被动语态，又因为邀请应当发生在结婚之前，got married是过去，invite就该是过去的过去，所以用过去完成时的被动语态，只有C正确。
6. D。因为“劝某人做某事”的英语表达是persuade sb to do sth，显然people与persuade是被动关系，应该用被动语态，排除A和B。又因为主语是一般将来时，条件句中用一般现在时，所以选D。
7. A。“那个英雄的事迹”与“报道”是被动关系，用被动语态。
8. A。由过去式swept和last night可知，要用过去时态，排除选项C和D；此处没一个相比较的过去时间或动作来说明是“过去的过去”，不用过去完成时，排除选项B；只有选项A正确，这里用现在完成时强调昨天晚上的这场瀑风雨所造成的影响现在依然存在。
9. B。因为students与send是被动关系，排除选项A和C；因last year常与一般过时连用，排除选项C。
10. D。因quantities of…作主语，谓语动词用复数，排除选项A和B；good earth(沃土)与wash away(冲走)是被动关系，排除选项C。
11. D。因为是“我”“被提供”职位，“我”才离开了原来的那个职位，所以用被动语态；由问句中的did可知，此处也用一般过去时。
12. A。“癌症的原因”应该是“被”揭开，故应用被动语态；另外，从句意上看，此处应用现在进行时。
13. D。从句意上看，“铁路线”的建设应该是“被”完成，故要用被动语态；再根据句末的by now可知，此处应用现在完成时。
14. B。从句意上看，“零钱”应该是“被”找给，故要用被动语态；再根据一般的常识，此处应用现在完成时而不是一般将来时。
15. C。to blame习惯上直接用主动式表示被动意义，又如：Nobody is to blame for it. 谁也不该埋怨。I must say that I am very much to blame. 我得说这全怪我。
