D

試題分析：考查強調(diào)句型和倒裝句。當否定詞放在句首的時候，后面的主句要使用部分倒裝的形式。B項正確。C項是正常語序的not…until…用法；A項是正常語序的強調(diào)句型。在強調(diào)句型中也要使用陳述語序。故D項錯誤。
點評：強調(diào)句型中都要使用陳述語序，首先要知道強調(diào)句的結(jié)構(gòu)It is/was+被強調(diào)部分+that/who+句子的其他成分，如果被強調(diào)的部分是人，可以用who代替that。具體是用is還是 was，要根據(jù)具體的時態(tài)確定。強調(diào)句的用法及判斷：如果把句子中的It is/was…that去掉，稍加調(diào)整語序，能還原成完整的句子，并且句子意思依然完整，則為強調(diào)句型，否則為其他從句。我們應熟記這些基本規(guī)則。
