Hardly ______ his speech when a young woman in the audience rose to make a protest.
A. George finished
B. does George finish
C. George had finished
D. had George finished
题目解答
答案
D. had George finished
解析
本题考查知识点为部分倒装和时态的运用。解题思路如下：
- 首先，要明确“hardly...when...”是一个固定的句式结构，，其含义为“一……就……”。在这个结构中，当“hardly”所在的句子需要使用部分倒装的形式，也就是将助动词提前到主语之前。
- 接着，分析时态。“hardly...when...””这个结构中，“hardly”所在的句子通常使用过去完成时，而“when””所在的句子使用一般过去时。这是因为“hardly””所在的动作发生在“when””所在的动作之前。
- 最后，结合本题，“hardly””所在的句子需要部分倒装，所以要把助动词“had”提前到主语“George”之前，即“had George finished”。
