Question

【題目】I had hardly rung the bell ________ the door was opened suddenly, and my son rushed out to greet me.

A. before B. until

C. as D. since

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】考查固定搭配。句意：這個女孩剛一(幾乎還沒有)按門鈴，門突然就被打開了，她的朋友沖出來迎接她。hardly...before“幾乎還沒有……就……”，“剛一……就……”，暗含“快”的意思。此處等于when表示“一……就”、“剛剛……就”.與hardly．scarcely連用o故選A。
