[考点]非谓语分词与不定式、否定

一Not until we　　　 our plan．

A．will finish　　　 B．are finishing　　 C．are to finish　　　 D．have finished

[考点]时态语态(完成时态)

　 [难度]难

[解析]根据语境可知our plan还没完成，应该用将来时，但这儿是until引导的时间状语从句，须用一般式。实际上这儿就是用现在完成时在时间或条件状语从句表示将来某时已完成的动作(在另一动作之前)。如I will give my opinion when I have read the book through.

　 [难度]中
