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
题目解答
答案
D. .did he consider
解析
本题考查Not until引导的倒装句的用法。关键点在于:
- Not until置于句首时,主句需使用部分倒装;
- 主句动作的时间应在until从句动作之后,需注意时态的合理搭配;
- 倒装时助动词的选择:若主句动词为实义动词且无助动词,则需添加助动词did进行倒装。
句子结构分析
原句结构为:Not until he retired from teaching three years ago ______ having a holiday abroad.
- Not until从句(he retired...)描述的是过去发生的动作,主句动作(consider having a holiday)发生在退休之后,属于同一时间段内的后续动作,因此主句应使用一般过去时。
选项辨析
- A. he had considered:使用过去完成时,表示“先于退休的动作”,与题意矛盾。
- B. had he considered:过去完成时倒装,但主句动作应为一般过去时。
- C. he considered:未倒装,不符合Not until置于句首的语法规则。
- D. did he consider:正确使用部分倒装(助动词did + 主语 + 动词原形),时态为一般过去时,符合逻辑顺序。
