【C5】
选项 A、before
B、that
C、so
D、until
答案B
解析 该空白处的答案不容易选对，可能不少人一不小心选择了until。it is notuntil…that…确实是个常见的句式，尤其是笔头英语当中，与not…until意义相同，但问题是空白处后面没有that引导的主句，所以不能选择until。英语中另外一个与时间相关的句式是it is…before…(过……时间发生……)，如itwill be about two years before I can finish my thesis，但空白处前面没有表示时间的词，所以句子不完整。it is not that…(but that…)也是常见的句式，相当于“不是……而是……”，所以本文第二段第一个句子的意义是“工业革命并不是在一夜之间变成不可抵制的力量”。
