C. was designed D. would be designed 答案为B。 【解析】 在含有by引导的表示过去意义的时间状语的句子中，谓语动词要用过去完成时。译文：到上月为止已完成了吊桥设计。
例8、—How are you today?
—Oh , I__________ as ill as I do now for a very long time.
A．didn't feel B．wasn't feeling C．don't feel D．haven't felt 答案为D。 【解析】 现在完成时表示从过去的某个时候开始一直延续到现在的动作或状态。从句子的意思可知，从过去某个时候开始，已经病了很长时间了。
例9、—Hey, look where you are going!
—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 答案为B。
【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 答案为D。
【解析】 根据They hope to finish it next month.说明电影院还在建设之中，所以从时态上讲是进行时；另外从语态上讲为被动语态。
