考查部分倒装句和时态。not until这样的否定词放在句首的时候，后面的主句是部分倒装，就是将be动词，助动词或情态动词放在主语前面，而且这句话的从句是过去时，主句的动作发生在从句的动作前面，不可能是过去完成时，用一般过去时。句意：直到他经历了真正的困难，他才意识到我们对家庭的爱是很重要的。选B。

【解析】
试题分析：考查倒装句。Only位于句首强调状语时，主句要用部分倒装，句型为：only+状语+be/助动词/情态动词+主语。故选B。
【知识归纳】
在句首的only如果后面跟了副词、介词短语或从句等状语,则主句用部分倒装结构。如only 后跟的是状语从句或only修饰主语，则不用倒装结构。
例如：Only when the war was over in 1918 was he able to get back to work.
Only the teachers are allowed to use the room.
注意only then,是“过一小会儿”的意思，一般用在句首，引导倒装句。
例句：Only then did he realize the importance of English．
