Question

By 25, my dream of being an actor _______ at last.

A. has come true    B. will come true

C. had come true    D. comes true

Answer

C

【解析】考查时态。句意：到25岁的时候，我想成为一名演员的梦想最终实现了。根据By 25可知，这个句子应该使用过去完成时，过去某一动作之前已经发生或完成，故选C。

【名师点睛】

与过去完成时连用的时间状语有：

(1)by + 过去的时间点。如：I had finished reading the novel by nine o'clock last night.

(2)by the end of + 过去的时间点。如：We had learned over two thousand English words by the end of last term.

(3)before + 过去的时间点。如：They had planted six hundred trees before last Wednesday
