试题分析：因为现在你迟到了，认为能参加，指的是原来认为。去取报纸也已完成，故用过去式。句意：--你又迟到了。我们原以为你能按时参加会议。--对不起，刚去办公室取了我的报纸。根据句意故选D。
点评：本题难度适中。动词的时态是高考的热点，它出现在单选和短文改错中的次数较多，需要考生一定掌握不同的时态的用法。
即学即练：— Why do you look so worried?
—My computer broke down and my essay ______ unfinished since.
A. had left             B. has been left        C. has left            C. was left
解析：B。句意：“—为什么你看起来那么着急？—我的电脑坏了，论文还没有完成呢”
因为后面有个since，可以改写成my essay has been left unfinished since my computer  broke down。如果选A的话说明essay没完成是以前的事，现在可能已经完成了，这样的话就不能解释为什么现在you look so worried故选B
