语法与词汇
______ we arrived in a more urban area, where Jim took me to a place called Boston Market.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】before long表示“不久,过了一会”时,与将来时和过去时连用,表示“很久以前”时,只与过去时连用。shortly after也表示“不久”,用法与before long相同,但从后半句判断,这里只能用before long,因为urban area与Boston。Market是同一个地方,如果用shortly after,此句应该是这样:Shortly after that,we went to a big farm.
