4．-Did he come back late last night？
-No．It was not yet eight o'clock _____ he arrived home．（　　）
A．beforeB．thatC．untilD．when

分析 --Jack昨晚回来的早吗？
--是的，他回家时还不到八点．

解答 答案：D．
根据前面的问句Did Jack come back early last night可知，是询问是否早回来，根据回答yes可知，应该是说明回来的具体时间，所以用when来引导时间状语从句．本题易误选C，"not…until"的结构表示"直到…才"如用在答语中就答非所问，而要改为"It was not until eight o'clock that he arrived home"，表明回来的晚了，和前面的题干矛盾；选B项看作强调句型不合适，应改为It was at eight o'clock that he arrived home．也不符合句子的语境，均可排除；故选D．

点评 本题考查时间状语从句的连接词，在充分分析句型再结合语义的基础上便能选出正确答案，同时要注意其他选项的意思

12．Five or six years ago，I attended a lecture on the science of attention．A professor who conducts（主持）research over in the medical school was talking about attention blindness，the basic feature（特征）of the human brain that，when we concentrate on one task，causes us to miss just about everything else．Because we can't see what we can't see，our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act．He had us watch a video of six people tossing （投掷） basketballs back and forth，three in white shirts and three in black，and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white．The tape rolled，and everyone began counting．
     Everyone except me．I'm dyslexic （患阅读困难症的），and the moment I saw that tape with the confusing basketball tossers，I knew I wouldn't be able to keep track of their movements，so I let my mind wander．I became curious，though，when about 30seconds into the tape，a gorilla （大猩猩） walked in among the players．She （we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit） stared at the camera，beat her chest with her fist，and then went away while they continued passing the balls．
     When the tape stopped，the professor asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses．Hands went up all over．He then asked who had counted 13，14，and congratulated those who'd scored the perfect 15．Then he asked，"And who saw the gorilla？"
     I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so．He'd set us up，trapping us in our own attention blindness．Yes，there had been a trick，but he wasn't the one who had played it on us．By concentrating so hard on counting，we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst．
Attention blindness is the fundamental organizing principle of the brain，and I believe that it presents us with a great opportunity．My take is different from that of many neural（神经学）scientists：Where they see the shortcomings of the individual，I sense an opportunity for cooperation．Fortunately，given the interactive（互动的） nature of most of our lives in the digital age，we have the tools to control our different forms of attention and take advantage of them．
       It's not easy to admit that everything we've learned about how to pay attention means that we've been missing everything else．It's not easy for us logical，intelligent，confident types to admit that the very key to our success-our ability to discover a problem and solve it，an achievement obtained in all those years in school and beyond-may be exactly what limits us．No one ever told us that our way of seeing left out everything else．

32．Which of the following is true about the writer when the tape was played？B
A．The writer was confused by basketball tossers in white and black．
B．The writer had difficulty keeping track of the tossers'movements．
C．The writer showed great curiosity about what the players tossing．
D．The writer tried hard to stop her mind from wandering．
33．Which of the following may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph？C
A．Attention blindness means that we've been missing everything else，although it is not easy to admit．
B．Learning about how to pay attention means having the ability to succeed．
C．Something may be missing although we have been learning to pay attention to everything．
D．Our achievements may be exactly what limits us with attention blindness．
