John thinks it won’t be long ________ he is ready for his new job.
A.whenB.afterC.beforeD.since
C

试题分析:句意,约翰认为要不了多久他就会为新工作做好准备的。before在此处表示两件事情发生相隔时间之长或之短。表示相隔时间之长时,常被翻译成“过了/要过……后才”;表示相隔时间之短时常被翻译成“还没/未/要不了多久就……”。 
点评: 状语从句在主从复合句中修饰主句中的动词、形容词或副词等,可分为时间、地点、原因、目的、结果、条件、方式、比较、让步等状语从句。 1.时间状语从句 由从属连词when, whenever, as, while, before, after, till, until, as soon as, hardly...when, no sooner...than, since, the moment/minute/instant, directly, immediately等引导。其中特别需要注意几点: (1)when的特殊用法:be doing when...正在干某事这时……,该句型中when用作并列连词,表示“那时,这时”。 (2)while的特殊用法:作并列连词,“而,却”;作从属连词,“尽管”,相当于although。 (3)not...until句型的强调和倒装用法。 (4)It will be+一段时间+before...多久之后才…… (5)It is+一段时间+since.... (6)It was+具体时间+when... (7)every time, each time, next time, the first time, the moment/minute/instant...等名词短语引导时间状语从句,表示“每次……”“下次……”“第一次……”“一……就……”等。 2.地点状语从句 由where, wherever引导,可放在主句前,也可放在主句后,where指“在某一地方”,wherever指“在任何一个地方”。但若表示抽象意义,则从句要放在主句之前。 3.条件状语从句 一般由if, as long as, unless, once, on condition that以……为条件,supposing/suppose如果/假使, on the understanding that以……为条件,in case以防,only if只要等引导。 4.原因状语从句 常用的连词有because, since, as, now (that)既然,seeing that鉴于……,considering that考虑到,由于,in(that) 因为等。 5.结果状语从句与目的状语从句 结果状语从句通常由so that, so...that, such...that来引导;目的状语从句通常由so that, in order that, in case, for fear
