参考答案:
1.解析:(C)在表示要求、愿望、建议、请求、命令等含义的名词同位语从句中,从句谓语动词要用虚拟语气形式,即should(可以省略) 动词原形。
2.解析:(D)本道题目的前半句话是对过去情况的一种假设,但事实上并没有发生,而事实上没有发生的真实原因是句子的后半部分由but 引导的转折句所表述的真实。因而but 所引导的句子中应该用表示和过去事实相符合的表陈述的时态,即一般过去时。
3.解析:(B)此题要求在if 从句中选择适当的动词形式,以主句中的动词apologize(抱歉)来看,if 从句中表达的内容应该是过去做的事,因此可以排除(A),因为(A)是现在时。(C)中should have 过去分词结构表示本来应该做却没有做的事,在此不合题意。(D)选项中的might have 过去分词表示对过去发生的事情很不肯定的猜测,它表达的内容还不能成为事实,所以藉此道歉真是不知从何说起,因此此处也不合题意。(B)had offended 表示当时已经发生了的动作。这是复杂条件句:apologize 是现在,而条件句是表示对过去假设的条件句。
4.解析:该句也是一个复杂条件句(或称作混合虚拟条件句)。条件句表示对过去情况的假设,而主句表示对现在情况的假设,但事实上却与此相反,所以正确答案应该是(A)。
5.解析:if 引导的从句要求用虚拟语气,表示同时或将来的情况,动词要用过去式(be 动词用were)或would(could 等) 动词原形,本句话中指的是当时的情况,所以要用过去式,故(A)是正确答案。
6.解析:(B)had not occurred 表示对过去的虚拟,条件句中要用过去完成式,主句中要用
should(would, could, might) 动词原形的过去分词。
7.解析:(B)had hoped 是常见的要求其后的宾语从句用虚拟语气的句型,虚拟语气would 动词原形。
8.解析:表示对过去情况的假设,主句动词形式为would(should, could, might) have 过去分词,条件句为过去完成式,if 可以省略,但要把had 提前主语前面。(B),(D)的表达不符合英语表达习惯,所以(C)是正确答案。
9.解析:(A)suggest 后面的从句要用虚拟语气形式,其形式为should(可以省略) 动词原形。
10.解析:(A).表示与现在相反的虚拟。
