By the time I got to the office, the meeting ______.
A.had begunB.began
C.was beginningD.would begin
A

试题分析:考察时态。本句中的关键词是by到…时为止;该词与完成时连用。本句中by后面接的时间状语是I got to the office这是一个过去时的时间,故使用过去我才是。句意:到外面来的办公室的时候,会议已经开始了。故A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。
