　　A. dates B. to date

　　C. dated D. dating

　　答案与解析 D 句意：建于18世纪的那座教堂目前正在被修缮。date from“追溯到，始于”。 The church与date from之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用dating。此句可以转化为“The church that/which dates from the 18th century is under repair at present.”。

　　答案与解析 D 句意：汽车公司已经承诺召回车辆很长时间了，但到目前为止也没什么动静。根据句中的“for ages”和“nothing has happened”可知，promise这一动作从过去一直持续到现在，并将有可能继续下去，故用现在完成进行时。
