网考网解析：
理由 本句测试下列固定结构： No sooner had+主语+过去分词+than+主语+动词过去式 一……就…… =Hardly had+主语+过去分词+when+主语+动词过去式 =Scarcely had+主语+过去分词+before+主语+动词过去式 =As soon as+主语+动词过去式，主语+动词过去式 [例] No sooner had I seen him than I told him the truth. = Hardly had I seen him when I told him the truth． = Scarcely had I seen him before I told him the truth = As soon as I saw him, I told him the truth. (我一见到他，就把真相告诉他。) No sooner、Hardly、Scarcely均为否定副词，置于句首时，之后须采倒装结构。 No sooner与than连用时，表示前者的动作并没有比后者的快多少，故译为“一……就……”。Hardly及Scarcely均表“几乎不”，表示前者动作几乎还没发生时后者就发生了，故也译为“一……就……”。 根据上述，句首有No sooner，因此之后须采倒装结构，且须用过去分词，故(C)应为正选。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
