C. has been completed　　　 　　　　D. had been completed

答案为D。

[解析]如：by意为“到……为止”。by后加过去时间，主句用过去完成时，如by后加现在时间，用现在完成时，如by后加将来时，主句要用将来完成时。by the end of last year常与过去完成时连用。表示到过去某个时候前已完成的动作。

A. will graduate　　　　　　　 B. will have graduated

C. graduates　　 　　　　　　　　D. is to graduate

例6、How I wish every family _______ a large house with a beautiful garden!

A. has　　　　 B. had　　　　 C. will have　　　　 D. had had

答案为B。

[解析]　 wish后接从句常用虚拟语气，表示这只是说话人的一种愿望。具体用法：如果从句中动作与现在事实相反应用过去式，与将来事实相反用would/could+动词原形；与过去事实相反用过去完成式或would/could+have done。译文：我多么希望每个家庭都住上带有漂亮花园的大房子。

-Oh, I'm terribly sorry. ________.

A. I'm not noticing　　　　　　　　 B. I wasn't noticing

C. I haven't noticed　　　　　　　 D. I don't notice

[解析]　 表示刚才没有注意到，要用过去进行时。一般现在时表示经常性的动作；现在完成时表示过去所做的事对现在造成的影响或从过去某个时候一直延续到现在的动作，即现在也没有注意到；现在进行时表示现在正在进行的动作，这三个时态显然不符合句意。

例10、A new cinema _______here. They hope to finish it next month.

A. will be built　　　 B. is built　　　 C. has been built　　　 D. is being built
