题目及解析
1. no modern telecommunications, we would have to wait for weeks to get news from around the world.
A. Were there B. Had there been
C .If there are D. If there have been
【】A
句意:如果没有现代的通信,我们将会等上几周的时间才能得到来自世界的新闻。
解析:对现在情况的虚拟,条件句中用一般过去时,主句用“ would / should / might / could +动词原形。虚拟条件句中有had, should, were时,可以将if去掉,然后把had, should, were提到主语前面。所以选A。
虚拟条件句的基本类型与结构:
一、与现在事实相反。若与现在事实相反,虚拟语气的条件从句的谓语用过去式(be通常用were),主句谓语用“should (would, could, might)+动词原形”。
二、与过去事实相反。若与过去事实相反,虚拟语气的条件从句的谓语用过去完成时(had+过去分词),主句谓语用“should (would, could, might)+have+过去分词”。
三、与将来事实相反。若与将来事实相反,条件从句的谓语用过去式(be通常用were),主句谓语用“should (would, could, might)+动词原形”。
考点:考查虚拟条件句。
2. —Do you have Betty's phone number?
—Yes. Otherwise, I _____ able to reach her yesterday.
A. hadn't been B. wouldn't have been
C. weren't D. wouldn't be
【】B
句意: 你有贝蒂的号码吗? 有。否则我昨天就联系不到她了。
解析:otherwise,否则,相当于一个条件状语从句:If I hadn’t have her phone number,即对过去的虚拟的条件状语从句,可以判断出主句用wouldn't have done 表示对过去情况的虚拟,故选B。
3. We ______ back in the hotel now if you didn’t lose the map.
A. are B. were
C. will be D. would be
【】D
句意:如果不丢失地图,我们就已经到旅馆了。
解析:根据条件状语从句中“if we didn’t lose the map”可知,主从句都是对现在情况的假设,所以选用D。
4. Joe is proud and ____ ,never admitting he is wrong and always looking for someone else to blame.
A. strict B. sympathetic
C. stubborn D. sensitive
【】C
句意:Joe是一个又自负又固执的人,他从不承认自己错了,总是找另一个人受责备。
解析:A.strict 严格的;B.sympathetic 同情的;C。stubborn 顽固的;D.sensitive 敏感的。故选C。
5. If ___for the job, you’ll be informed soon.
A. to accept B. accept
C. accepting D. accepted
【】D
句意:如果录用你了,我们将很快通知你。
试题分析:本句条件状语从句中省略了主语you,与accept构成被动关系,用过去分词accepted。故选D。
本题暗含了状语从句的省略和非谓语动词的用法两个知识点,并牢记现在分词表主动或进行,过去分词表被动或完成,不定式表将要执行的动作的原则。
6. _____ for two days, Steve managed to finish his report on schedule.
A. To work B. Worked
C. To be working D. Having worked
【】D
句意:工作了两天,Steve成功的按时完成了他的报告。
解析:句中的逻辑主语为Steve,与work之间为主动关系,故用现在分词,这里用having worked,表示动作的先后性。故选D。
