late into the night还是long into the night
下面是2014高考英语浙江卷的第2题：
The paper is due next month, and I am working seven days ________ week, often long into ________ night.
A. a; the B. the; 不填 C. a; a D. 不填；the
答案为A。我对句中long into the night不太理解，它的意思我知道，是表示“深夜”，但表示“深夜”不是用 late into the night 吗？我查了好几本词典，都没有查到 long into the night这一个搭配。
