Question

（江苏省海安市2009学年度高三摸底，27）---Your sister nearly _______ all her spare time to her study during the three years.

----That’s right， or she ________ the first place in her school in the College Entrance Examination.

A. devoted; wouldn’t have taken                B. spent; wouldn’t have taken

C. had devoted; hadn’t taken                          D. had spent; couldn’t take

Answer 1

A

解析:

devote … to 为固定搭配，因此第一个空应从AC选。Or 翻译成“否则，要不然”，相当于otherwise，引起句子运用虚拟语气，主句用 would have done。
