Answer 1

1. B
此题考查not...until...的强调句型：It was not until + 时间状语（从句） + that + 主句/句子其他部分（肯定句）。
由该结构可以排除AC；
且因为not...until...中的not已经提前，所以后面that引导的句子必须改成肯定句，排除D.
原句（不用强调句型）为：We did not begin the experiment until the old worker came.

2. B
固定搭配：end up + 形容词（dead），意思是“以死亡而收场/告终”。

3. A
很明显，该题主句的谓语动词是turned out，所以逗号后面的成分不能做谓语，只能做状语，由此可以排除只能做句子谓语的三单形式B sells，而选用其非谓语形式selling.

4. B
如果是现在分词短语的否定形式做状语，则not只能放在含义Ving的单词之前，所以是B Not having found，而不是A having not found.

5. A
此题考查状语从句的省略语法。
其中until spoken to = until (Fred is) spoken to.
该语法规定：如果状语从句的主语和主句的主语相同，且从句的谓语以be动词开始，则可以省略状语从句的主语（Fred）和be动词（is）。
