No sooner had he arrived in Rome___ he heard of the good news.
A. until
B. then
C. than
D. when
题目解答
答案
C. than
解析
本题考查固定句型的用法。"No sooner...than..."是英语中常见的固定搭配,用于表示"一……就……",引导时间状语从句,其中no sooner位于句首时,主句需用部分倒装结构(本题中had he arrived即为倒装形式),than后接从句用陈述语序。分析选项:A. until常用于"not...until..."结构(直到……才……),不与no sooner搭配;B. then为副词,不能引导从句,且不与no sooner搭配;C. than符合"No sooner...than..."的固定搭配;D. when通常用于"hardly/scarcely...when..."结构(一……就……),不与no sooner搭配。因此正确答案为C。
