Question

（2014屆江西省重點(diǎn)中學(xué)盟校高三第二次聯(lián)考英語試卷）27. She cared more about her students than her own health. That’s why two years passed _____ she was treated for breast cancer.

A．since

B．before

C．a(chǎn)fter

D．until

Answer 1

B

本題實(shí)際上考察的是固定句式：It is some time before…一段時(shí)間以后某事才發(fā)生；本句中的Two years passed before she was treated for breast cancer.相當(dāng)于It was two years before she was treated for breast cancer.句義：與關(guān)心自己相比她更關(guān)心的是學(xué)生，那就是為什么2年以后她采取治療乳腺癌。故B正確。
