解析:本题考查对no sooner……than句型的掌握。no sooner……than和hardly(scarcely)……when都表示"刚一……就……",注意其中连词的区别。该句型有两个特点:一是主句中一般使用过去完成时,而从句中一般使用一般过去时;二是no sooner或hardly(scarcely)位于句首时,要求句子采用部分倒装语序。本句中no sooner位于句首,故句子采用了倒装语序。 V& C8 j9 Y! x!

解析:本题考查对表示对比或相反情况的连接词的掌握。While或whereas都可以作为连词,表示前后的一种对比或相反的情况,意为"然而".注意此处不要用however,因为however是表示一种强烈的转折关系,不强调前后情况的对比。
