John is not a man to count on, and it is very likely that the work ____ by the time he arrives here.

A.is finished B.has finished C.will finish D.will have been finished 

D

解析试题分析:by the time…到…时为止,通常都和完成式连用,如果后面是现在的时间,句中就使用现在完成时;如果后面是过去的时间,就使用过去完成时;如果后面是将来的时间,就使用将来完成时。本句by the time后面的he arrives here是一般现在时,在时间状语从句中表示的是将来,前面的主句要使用将来完成时。句义:John是一个不值得信赖的人,到他来到这里的时候,这份工作很可能已经被完成了。根据句义说明使用被动语态。故D正确。
考点:考察时态
