B.before

C.since

D.After参考答案：B【考查方向】考查连词的用法。句意：近三个月已经过去了，重伤的女孩才出现了轻微的痊愈迹象。A.until直到；B.before在......之前，多长时间才……；C.since自从；D.after在......之后。根据语意故选B。【举一反三】before引导时间状语从句的特殊含义：before引导的从句中谓语动词不用否定式，before从句本身已含有否定的意味，所以谓语动词必须用肯定式。另外，还要注意before从句的翻译。⑴“还没来得及……就……”(常与情态动词can,could连用)e.g.①Beforeshecouldmove,sheheardaloudnoise.(她还没来得及动，就听见一声巨响。)②However,beforeshecouldthinktwice,thewaterwasuponher.(可是，她还没来得及细想，水就逼近了她。)③Beforetheyreachedthehouse,anewgreatwavecame.(不等他们到达那座房子，又一个大浪涌来。)④HeaskedasecondquestionbeforeIcouldanswerthefirstone.(我还没来得及回答第一个问题他就问了另一个问题。)⑤HegotangrybeforeIcouldexplainwhyIwaslateagain.(我还没来得及解释我为什么又迟到了，他就生气了。)⑵“……（之后）才……”e.g.①Wehadwalkedforawholedaybeforewefoundwater.(我们走了一整天才找到水。)②Itwasmidnightbeforeshereturned.(她半夜以后才回来。)⑶“（不多久）就……”e.g.①ItwasnotlongbeforeMartingottohisfeet.(马丁不久就站了起来。)②Ihadn’twaitedlongbeforehecame.(我没等多久他就来了。)⑷before引起的从句中有know,realize,feel,understand等动词时，常表示事情在不知不觉中进行。e.g.Shewasso

interestedinthebookthatshehadreaditfor3hoursbeforesherealized/knewit.(她看书太入迷了，不知不觉时间竟已过了3个小时。)
