A．have been B．have gone C．has been 【答案】C 【解析】【详解】句意：除了汤姆和玛丽之外，我们班上每个人都去过北京。考查现在完成时。由句意可知句子时态为现在完成时，构成为：have /has+动词过去分词；have been to表示去过某地，已经回来；have gone to表示去了某地，可能在路上，也可能已经到达；根据Everyone in my class except Tom and Mary to Beijing.可知，这里表示除了汤姆和玛丽之外，我们班上

每个人都去过北京，说明去过北京都已经回来了，所以用have been to。本句的主语是everyone，所以助动词用has，故答案选C。
