若主句的谓语动词是非延续性的，则主句常用否定式，构成not...until...结构。

2在not...until...句型结构中，可以把not until提到句首，句子用倒装语序。

3not...until...句型的强调句式为：It is/was not until...that...

can＋have done用于否定句和疑问句，“不可能/不会已经……的”和“可能/也许
已经……了吗”,may＋have done用于肯定句和否定句，“可能/也许已经……了”和“可能/或许还没有……”
2表示对过去发生之事的后悔、遗憾、责备等情绪，至于具体表示的意义则由所用的情态动词及其句法结构而定。

should/ought to＋have done 本来应该……的但却没有……could＋have done本来能够……的

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Whenever we turn on the TV or radio，read the newspapers，surf the Internet，we’ll be surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere.We have so easily been attracted by the promise of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us.We are paying for products that harm us psychologically(心理上地) and physically.
It’s obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically.They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight，but in controlling the consumption of fat.All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.
What’s more，diet products have greater psychological effects.Every time we have a zero­calorie drink，we are telling ourselves that we don’t have to work to get results.Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain，and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
As a matter of fact，the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects they have on us，but also in the physical harm they cause.Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie，only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products.And they can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are stopping our bodies having basic nutrients.Diet products may not be nutritional，and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Losing weight lies in the power of minds，not in the power of chemicals.Think twice before buying diet products.Once we realize this，we will be much better able to resist diet products，and therefore，prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.

sVincent Van Gogh (30 March 1853～29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post­Impressionist artist.He was considered one of the greatest artists with great influence on 20th­century art.
Van Gogh spent his early adult life working for a firm of art dealers.After a brief
period as a teacher，he became a missionary(传教士) worker in a very poor mining region.He did not begin his career as an artist until 1880; however during the last ten years of his life，he produced more than 2,000 pieces，including around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches(素描)．
He worked only with sombre(昏暗的) colours until he met Impressionism and Neo­Impressionism in Paris.Van Gogh incorporated(合并) their brighter colours and style of painting into a uniquely recognizable style.Most of his best­known works were produced during his final two years，when he was suffering from serious mental illness.
In 1890，at the age of 37，Van Gogh shot himself in the chest.He died two days later，with Theo，his brother and his best friend，at his side，who reported his last words as “The sadness will last forever”．Theo，unable to come to terms with his brother’s death，died 6 months later and was buried next to him.It would not take long before his fame grew higher and higher.
Vincent Van Gogh’s mother threw away quite a number of his paintings during Vincent’s life and even after his death.But she would live long enough to see her son become a world famous painter.
The only painting he sold during his lifetime，The Red Vineyard，was created in 1888.It is now on display in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow，Russia.Several paintings by Van Gogh rank among the most expensive paintings in the world.
On March 30,1987 Van Gogh’s painting Irises was sold for a record 53.9 million at Southeb y’s，New York.On May 15,1990 his Portrait of Doctor Gachet was sold for 82.5 million at Christie’s，thus establishing a new price record.

c．worked in an art firm
d．worked as a missionary worker
A．c，a，b，d B．c，a，d，b

6．Which words can best describe Van Gogh’s later years?
A．Sad and boring. B．Normal and peaceful.
C．Happy but fruitless. D．Painful but productive.

7．Why did Van Gogh kill himself?
A．Because he was a failure as an artist.
B．Because he had an unhappy family.
C．Because he lost his beloved brother.
D．Because he was suffering from mental illness.
