A. makes B. is made C. is going to make D. is being made 2. I dont know what time it is now. My watch _. A. is repairing B. has been repaired C. is being repaired D. has being repaired 解析： 1. D. cake与make之间是被动关系，从后面的Please wait an hour to enjoy it.可知用现在进行时的被动语态。 2. C. 考查动词的时态和语态。由句意知My watch和repair之间是被动关系，且当前正在进行，故用现在进行时的被动语态。
