- 试题详情及答案解析
- Not until he retired from teaching three years ago _________ having a holiday abroad.
| A．he had considered | B．did he consider |
| C．he considered | D．had he considered |
- 答案：B
- 试题分析：Not until…位于句子开头，句子主句用部分倒装；句意是“直到三年前他退休，他才考虑去国外度假的”。主句动作发生在从句之后，从句用的是一般过去时态，所以主句用一般过去时态。部分倒装要求把be动词、助动词或情态动词放到主语的前面，所以B. did he consider合乎题意。
考点：考查倒装句和时态。
