6、能直接用将来时态来表示将来意义，据此可排除B和C；而选项D为过去完成时，也不能选，因为“过去完成时”必须以“过去”为支点，表示“过去的过去”，但此句并没有过去时态这一支点，故此选项也被排除，for+段时间要用现在完成时，选A。句意：我不会告诉学生数学题目的答案，直到他算了一个多小时。【题文】4.

The experience of pulling up at traffic lights alongside cars with loud music made some psychologists in the University of Sydney look into whether loud music has something to do with driving. The psychologists invited 60 men
