4、作之前，并已完成，所以应用过去完成时。故选B。【点睛】对动词时态考查是高中英语考查重点之一，特别是在从句中时态的考查。在简单句中，我们根据时间提示词很容易判定动词时态，但是在复合句中，我们不仅要分析主从句时态，还要分析主从句之间时间差。例如本题中，我们先通过主句分析时态为一般过去时，在根据从句动作与主句动作之间的先后关系确定从句动作在其之前发生，并已完成，进而确定从句时态。这种确定时态的方法最简单最快捷，大家多领会。6. 参考答案：略7. _，the small boy swam across the river.ATo our astonishment BTo us surpriseCTo
