B.Were it D.Was it
答案 B [虚拟语气中,be动词统一用were;虚拟语气的省略形式是把if省略,同时把were/should/had提前,即Were/Should/Had I...,故选B。句意:要不是老师们的支持,该生是无法克服困难的。]
2.Samuel, the tallest boy in our class, ________ easily reach the books on the top shelf.(2017·北京卷) A.must C.can
B.should D.need
答案 C [must必须;should应该;can能;need需要。句意:Samuel,我班最高的男生,能很轻松地够着书架顶上的书。]
3.If the new safety system ________ to use, the accident would never have happened. (2017·北京卷) A.had been put C.should be put
B.were put D.would be put
答案 A [句意:如果这个新的安全系统被投入使用的话,这个事故就不会发生了。根据主句would never have happened确定是对过去情况的虚拟,所以从句谓语用had done形式。] 4.My room is a mess, but I ________ clean it before I go out tonight. I can do it in the morning.(2017·天津卷) A.daren’t C.needn’t
B.shouldn’t D.mustn’t

扫。daren’t不敢;shouldn’t不应该;needn’t不需要;mustn’t不许。根据句意,故选C。]
5.—Do you have Betty’s phone number?
—Yes. Otherwise, I ________ able to reach her yesterday.(2017·天津卷) A.hadn’t been C.weren’t
B.wouldn’t have been D.wouldn’t be
答案 B [句意:——你有贝蒂的电话号码吗?——有。否则我昨天就联系不到她了。标志词otherwise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。]

[解 题 策 略]
1.句型提示法
虚拟语气可以用在状语从句、名词性从句、定语从句中,在不同的从句中,虚拟语气用不同的动词形式来体现,如:if非真实条件句(分三种情形),wish后的宾语从句,It is time that...的定语从句等。所以,掌握了各类从句中虚拟语气的动词形式,就基本上掌握了虚拟语气的用法。
If we ________ the other road,we might have arrived here in time for the meeting. A.take C.took
B.had taken D.have taken
答案 B [句意:如果我们走另一条路的话,我们或许能够及时到达这里参加这次会议了。根据主句的谓语动词might have arrived可以推出,本句是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,所以if条件句中应该用过去完成时。] 2.特定词汇暗示法
英语中某些短语如:If it were not for/had not been for, but for..., if only..., without等,往往要采用虚拟语气,它们对于解答试题有很大的帮助,掌握了这些要点知识,做起题来也就很容易了。
Thank you for all your hard work last week.I don’t think we ________ it without you.
