1.(2018第二次全国大联考江苏卷)Since all the preparations for the task ,we’re ready to start.
A.completed B.to be completed
C.had been completed D.have been completed
答案 D 考查时态和语态。句意:既然这项任务的所有准备工作已经完成,我们准备开始了。现在完成时表示动作已经完成,强调对现在的影响。由 we’re ready to start 可知,一切准备工作已经就绪,可以开始了。complete 是及物动词,与从句的主语是被动关系,所以需要用被动语态。
