7. 用英语思维的能力

英语与汉语是两种语言，毕竟存在一些差异。如果一味用汉语的思维模式去考虑，有时恐怕会走进死胡同，白白耗费时间和精力。因此养成用英语思维习惯就非常有必要，这样日积月累才培养出用英语思维的能力。如：

It ______ we had stayed together for a couple of weeks ___ I found we had a lot in common. (浙江卷)

A. was until; when      B. was until; that

C. wasn’t until; when     D. wasn’t until; that

【解析】D。此题考查not…until…句式的强调形式——It was not until…that…，又如：It was not until I met you that I knew real happiness. 直到我遇到你以后，我才真正体会到幸福。 It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was a famous film star. 直到她取下墨镜，我才意识到她是一位著名影星。

I’m sorry you’ve been waiting so long, but it’ll still be some time ______ Brian gets back. (北京卷)

A. before B. since       C. till       D. after

【解析】A。根据句意，只有填before时意思最通顺。It’ll be some time before…是英语中一个很有用的句式，其意为“要过一段时间才……”，如：It’ll be some time before we meet again. 要过一段时间我们才能见面。有时也可用其他时态，如：It was some time before we struck the track. 我们用了很长时间才找到了路。
