单选题
Li Lei didn"t meet the famous American professor ______ he was on holiday in America last year.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查的是由not...until引导的时间状语从句,表示“直到……才”,故B项为正确答案。又如:I didn"t sleep until my mother got home. (直到妈妈回到家,我才入睡。)如果放于句首,句子要倒装,如:Not until mid-night did his father stop working. (直到午夜他父亲才停止工作。)
A项unless意思是“除非,如果不……”。C项if意思是“如果……”。D项whether意思是“是否”。均不合题意。
