47、s not until.that.确实是个常见的句式，尤其是笔头英语当中，与 not.until意义相同，但问题是空白处后面没有 that引导的主句，所以不能选择 until。英语中另外一个与时间相关的句式是 it is.before.(过时间发生)，如 it will be about two years before I can finish my thesis，但空白处前面没有表示时间的词，所以句子不完整。it is not that. (but that.)也是常见的句式，相当于“不是而是”，所以本文第二段第一个句子的意义是“工业革命并不是在一夜之间变成不可抵制的力量”。A.minim
48、allyB.privatelyC.primarily D.intellectually解析：minimally：最小限度地；privately：私下地；primarily：主要地；intellectually：智力上。be used primarilyfor.的含义是“主要用于”。A.when B.whichC.whereD.that解析：空白处前面没有与地点相关的词，所以排除 where，而 that不能用于非限定性定语从句。空白处后面是个完整的句子，不可能用 which。空白处前面是 in the 1800s，恰好是时间，可选 when。A.turned toB.resorted toC.
49、clung toD.referred to 解析：词组 turn to与 resort to意义接近，表示“求助于”，而 cling to的意义是“紧紧地粘在”或“坚持”。be referred to as 的意义是“被称作”。A.got down toB.put up withC.gave rise to D.looked ahead to解析：get down to：开始考虑或行动；put up with：忍受；give rise to：导致；look ahead to：盼望。由于主语是 processes，是无生命的，应首先想到 give rise to。A.habitB.dreamC.ability D.consequence解析：由于空白处前面
