By the time some scientists ____ the lost towns, they ____ an awesome historical site.
A.had found, had foundB.found, found
C.found, had foundD.had found, found
C

试题分析:考查时态。By要和完成时连用,如果by后面的句子使用一般过去时,主句使用过去完成时的形式。句意:到一些科学家分析那些失踪的城镇的时候,他们已经发现了这些有历史意义的遗址。故C正确。
点评:连词by到…时为止;该词经常与完成时连用,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。
