⑸--Did you remember to give Mary the money you owed her?
--Yes. I gave it to her ______I saw her.(2001春季高考,14)
A.while B.the moment C.suddenly D.once
答案：B
分析：不少學生誤選D,但“once”隱含條件,意為“壹旦……就……”,該句理解成“我壹旦見到他就把錢給了他”顯然不符合上下文的語境,故排除D。“the moment”看似名次詞組,但實際上用作連詞,引導時間狀語從句,故應選B。
註意②：“once”後面的從句中常可采用省略結構。

Once seen ( = Once it is seen ),it can never be forgotten.
