学位英语语法讲解【12】

【十二】

 

例1

If I      you, I would go now and wait for them at the station.

A.am

B. was

C. were

D. have been

【答案精解】C。本题考查虚拟语气。如果我是你(但是我不可能是你),所以有假设虚拟的含义,用一般过去时表示与现在事实相反的虚拟语气。故选C。

【参考译文】如果我是你,我会现在出发去火车站等他们。

 

例2

We are sure that       to do this face to face, he would express himself more easily.

A. were he to try

B. would he try

C. was he trying

D. if he tries

【答案精解】A。本题考查虚拟语气。含有虚拟语气中,如果if从句中含had,were,should,应将它们提前,省略if,故选A。

【参考译文】我们确定如果他面对面来解决这个问题的话,他应该会更容易表达自己的观点。

 

例3

He got injured because of his faulty brakes. He       to see if his brakes were working properly.

A. must check

B. should check

C. must have checked

D. should have checked

【答案精解】D。本题考查虚拟语气。前一句说的是已经发生的结果,因此后一句是对过去的虚拟。对过去的虚拟,主句用should+现在完成时,从句用过去时,故选D。

【参考译文】因为刹车问题,他受伤了。他本应该检查下他的刹车是否工作正常。
