C1. Mr. Li required the computer equipment referred __A______ used in every classroom.
A. should be
B. have to be
C. to be
D. to being1. C. 因为在表示“要求”的require, request, ask,

9. B. 由had not gone可知，条件句是与过去事实相反的情况，而now提示我们，主句是与现在事实相反的情况，所以用would be。

10. D. 因为if only (要是…就要了) 其后的句子要用过去式表示虚拟语气，由as you do可知，是与现在事实相反，所以选knew。
11. But for the party, he ___A_____ of hunger fifteen years ago. A. would have died B. would die C. must have died D. must die
11. A. 因为but for (要不是因为、如果没有) 通常要与虚拟语气连用，由fifteen years ago可知，这是与过去事实相反的情况，所以选would have died
12. I would have come earlier, but I ___A_____ that you were waiting for me. A. didn’t know B. hadn’t know C. would have known D. haven’t known
12. A. 因为would come earlier是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，而后面分句表示的是事实：当时我的确不知道…所以用一般过去时，选A。
C13. The teacher agreed to the suggestion that the students ___B_____ two weeks to prepare for the exam. A. give B. should give C. be given D. would be given 13. C. 因为that从句是suggestion的同位语，应当用“(should+) 动词原形”表示虚拟语气，又因the students与give是被动关系，所以选be given。

A. would be B. would have beenC. were
