C.as
D.that
翻译并分析
答案D

Answer 1

翻译：直到将近一个月以后，我才收到了经理的回复。

解释：
1. 此题为not...until...的强调句型。
强调句型的基本结构是：It is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who/whom + 句子未被强调部分。
该句型可以用于强调除谓语外的句子所有成分。
如果被强调部分为sb时，引导词可以用who/whom，who强调主语sb，而whom强调宾语sb。
但是that可以用于任何强调句型。
该句型的最大特点是：去掉it is/was和引导词that/who/whom之后，剩下部分为完整的一个句子（有时候需要调整句序）。
如：I met him in the street yesterday.
强调主语I时，改为：It was I who/that met him in the street yesterday.
强调宾语him时，改为：It was him whom/that I met in the street yesterday.
强调地点状语in the street时，改为：It was in the street that I met him yesterday.
强调时间状语yesterday时，改为：It was yesterday that I met him in the street.
以上句子如果去掉被it was和引导词that/who/whom外，适当调整句序后，都会还原成原句：I met him in the street yesterday.
2. 而not...until...的强调句型为：It is/was not until + 状语/状语从句 + that + 句子/主句的肯定句形式。
如：I didn't go to bed until my parents returned.
其强调句型为：It was not until my parents returned that I went to bed.
再如：I didn't go to bed until 11:30 pm.
其强调句型为：It was not until 11:30 pm that I went to bed.
3. 该句原句为：I didn't receive the manager's reply until near a month later.
变成强调句型为：It was not(wasn't) until nearly a month later that I received the manager's reply.
所以正确答案为D。

Answer 2

过了将近一个月，我才收到经理的答复。
这是个名词从句在句中作主语时，为避免句子头重脚轻，常用it作形式主语置于句首，而将真正的主语从句放在句尾的句型。用'that'引导。

Answer 3

该句为强调句。强调句型：“It is（was）＋被强调的部分＋that（who）＋原句其它部分”来强调说话人的意愿： 去掉it is(was)和that 原句仍然是一个完整句就是强调句 。

Answer 4

直到快一个月之后我才接到经理的回复
强调句型 it be...that

Answer 5

It was 加that 是强调句，所以应该选D
