A.as B.since C.until D.before (NMET 2000) 命题意图：本题主要考查连词的语意，但需结合时间，尤其是前后两个动作发生的先后顺序，故难度较大。本题属五星题。 知识依托：as 引导时间状语从句，意思是当……时，since 自从，until直到……，before在……之前。答案选D。 错解分析：错误的原因在于没有了解相关动作发生的先后关系，they hung up发生在I could answer the phone之前，题目的意思是：半夜里有人给我打电话，但我还没来得及接/在我能接电话之前，他们就挂掉了。 解题方法与技巧：解关于从属连词的题首先要了解各自的语意；在处理习题时，还要结合上下文的语境和结构来进行综合确定。
