Question

Environmentalists urged that more effective measures ___________by the government to reduce the pollution.

1. A.
   were taken
2. B.
   would adopt
3. C.
   be adopted
4. D.
   should take

Answer 1

C
试题分析：句意：环保人士催促政府应当采取措施来减少环境的污染。这里adopt measures和take measures都是采取措施的意思。但是需用被动语态，故排除BD；又因为urged后的宾语从句的谓语动词应用虚拟语气should+do，should可省略，故选C。
考点：考查虚拟语气的用法。
点评：本题难度适中。虚拟语气是近几年高考的热点，虚拟语气的情况复杂，形式多样，需要考生牢记它们的不同的用法，再根据不同的语境分析句子应该用哪种情况的虚拟。
即学即练：How I wish every family ________ a large house with a beautiful garden!
A. has    B. had      C. will have       D. had had
解析：B。wish 后面宾语从句的谓语总是用过去时态。此题是表示与现在事实相反的愿望，从句谓语用一般过去时。句意为“我多么希望每个家庭都有座有一个漂亮花园的大房子啊！”
