Question

【題目】Not until he retired from teaching three years ago ______ having a holiday abroad.

A. he had considered

B. had he considered

C. he considered

D. did he consider

Answer 1

【答案】D。

【解析】句意：直到在三年前從教學(xué)上退休后他才考慮到國(guó)外度假。首先看到句首是Not until后我們知道，表達(dá)否定意義的連詞短語(yǔ)位于句首時(shí)我們就要聯(lián)想到運(yùn)用部分倒裝，因此可以排除A、C兩項(xiàng)。再分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，本空所在的是主句部分，結(jié)合從句時(shí)態(tài)可知主句用一般過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)。故選D。
