Question

【题目】“You can’t have this football back_____you promise not to kick it at my cat again.” the old man said firmly.

A.because

B.since

C.when

D.until

Answer 1

【答案】D

【解析】考查状语从句的连接词。句意：直到你答应不再用球踢我的猫了，你才能把你的足球要回去。从上下文语境可知, until表 “直到”适合句意, 但一定要留意promise的时态。如不注意promise的时态, 受汉语干扰, 会误选AB, 如选AB, promise 要用一般过去时。
