题目内容

17．I ________ able to catch the first light home，but my watch betrayed me．（　　）

A．

were

B．

had been

C．

would be

D．

would have been

分析我本来能够在黎明时分到家的，但是我的手表不准了．

解答答案：D．
根据题干but引导的从句可知，其引导的是含蓄条件句，相当于if引导的虚拟条件句"if my watch hadn't betrayed me"，此句是对过去情况的假设．由此可知，主句谓语动词形式应用would have done 来表示对过去情况的假设．故选D．

点评含蓄虚拟条件句中的假设条件不是以if条件从句的形式来表达的，而是隐藏在上下文或由with、without、otherwise、or、but for、but等词来暗示，相当于if引导的虚拟条件句．所以解题时要注意上下文的语境和这些关键词的提示．
