shortly用法

Question

47. ________ after the Second World War that test pilots first attempted to break the “Sound barrier.”
A) It was shortly B) Until shortly C) Shortly was it D) Shortly

这道题应该选什么？

Answer 1

A
这是一个典型的强调句！
考点不是shortly本身的用法，而是强调句型it is/was...that...
_It was shortly_ after the Second World War that test pilots first attempted to break the “Sound barrier.”世界第二次大战不久后试飞员们第一次尝试打破声障（即超音速飞行）。
——强调的对象是时间
其中shortly是副词，只是做一个状语，表示时间之早

Answer 2

选A 这是个强调句
It was shortly after the Second World War that test pilots first attempted to break the “Sound barrier.”
就是在二次世界大战之后不久飞行员们开始试着超音速飞行

Answer 3

D
