Question

It was not until midnight __ they reached the camp sit

It was not until midnight __ they reached the camp site. A．that B．when C．while D．as

Answer 1

A

句意：他们直到半夜才到达宿营地。本句考查强调结构，可以还原为：They didn’t reach the camp site until midnight. 这是含有until引导状语从句的强调句型。当强调 until从句部分时，应注意把not一起提前。即：It is/ was not until + 被强调部分 + that + 其它部分。
