题目内容
2.We were delayed at the airport.Otherwise we____here by lunchtime.( )A. | had been | B. | have been | C. | should be | D. | would have been |
分析 我们在机场被耽搁了,否则我们到午餐时间为止应该到这儿了.
解答 答案是D.本题考查的是含蓄的虚拟条件句.英语中表示条件时常常没有连词if,而是用otherwise、or、but、but for等形式表达条件,这种类型的虚拟语气被称之为含蓄的虚拟条件.本题中otherwise表示"否则",相当于一个虚拟条件句.这里要表达的意思是"如果我们在机场没有被耽搁",可见这是一个与过去事实相反的虚拟;与过去事实相反的虚拟条件句中往往用过去完成时,而主句中则用"would/should/could/might+have done",由此判断答案是D.
点评 在掌握虚拟语气的规则的基础上,判断题干属于什么类型的虚拟,然后根据语境,选用恰当的动词形式表达虚拟.
