7.It was not until all the fish in the pond died that________ the situation was serious.( )A. | did he realize | B. | he realized | C. | he had realized | D. | had he realized |
分析 直到池塘里的鱼全死了他才意识到形势的严重.
解答 答案:B.根据题干中的结构:"It be not until…that…"可知,此句是not until 的强调句型.此句型要求把not until 置于被强调部分,句子剩余部分置于that后,不用倒装.not until只有在置于句首时,主句部分倒装,其倒装结构为:"not until+从句(不倒)+主句(助动词/情态动词/be动词+主语+谓语剩余部分)".由此可知,选项A和D错误.再由句子的时态分析可知,had done过去完成式表动作发生在"过去的过去",即realize"意识到情势严重"发生在die"鱼死亡"之前,不符句意.由主从句时态保持一致可知,主句用一般过去式.故选B.
点评 not until常考两个结构:一倒装"not until+从句(不倒)+主句(助动词/情态动词/be动词+主语+谓语剩余部分)",二强调"It be not until…that…".时态常为一般过去式.
