题目内容
Had they known what was coming next, they ___________ second thoughts.
A.may have | B.could have | C.must have had | D.might have had |
D
解析试题分析:考查虚拟语气:若与过去事实相反,虚拟语气的条件从句的谓语用过去完成时(had+过去分词),可以把had提到主语前,构成倒装句,主句谓语用“should (would, could, might)+have+过去分词”。句意:要是他们知道下面会发生什么,就会再好好想一想了。选D。
考点:考查虚拟语气的省略倒装
点评:当虚拟条件句的谓语部分含有were, should, had时,我们可以将连词if省略掉,而将were, should, had置于句首。如果条件从句为否定式,注意要将not置于主语之后,而不置于主语之前
Forget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Television is still the most influential medium around. Indeed ,for many of the poorest regions of the world, it remains the next big thing——finally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better.
Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U.S. , where are more TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005 , after the fall of the Taliban(塔利班),which had outlawed TV, 1 in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013——pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.
Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands’ approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child health care. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant improvement in their reading skills.
Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness. However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide. K^S*5U.C
