【看点解读】
在含有not...until的句型中，对until引导的从句进行强调时，要将not until放在一起加以强调。构成“It is/was not until...that...”句式。

＝It wasn't until I entered high school that I didn’t realize how right my parents were.
直到上中学我才意识到父母是多么正确。
【经典归纳】
not until置于句首时，句子用部分倒装语序，即将助动词/系动词/情态动词放在主语之前。如果until连接的是含状语从句的复合句，只倒装主句部分，从句部分不倒装。
【考点精练】语法填空

(2)(天津高考) ______ wasn’t until I finished my studies that I pursued my career as an actress.
Answers:had begun;It
