He said,“I ______a lot of new words by the end of last year.”

A．had already learnt

B．would have already learnt

C．have already learnt

D．already learnt

正确答案：A
解析：该题的考点是动词的时态。由by+时间名词构成的时间状语用在谓语动词为完成式的句子中。by后面的时间是过去时间，动词用过去完成式。该题答案选择A。要注意的是：这种情况下的谓语动词应该是行为动词。而且，by后面是将来时间，谓语是将来完成式；by后面是现在时间，谓语是现在完成式。
