A.shouldn’t have lived B.wouldn’t have lived
C.wouldn’t live D.might not live
B
【解析】
试题分析:考查虚拟语气。本题考查的含蓄的虚拟语气,上下文的条件是通过介词without(如果没有,要不是…)来体现的。句意:要不是Jing给这个家庭带来的快乐,我的妈妈不会又活了六年的。根据句意说明本题是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,故主句使用“情态动词+have done”的形式。Shouldn’t have done本不应该做某事,实际上却做了;与句意不符。故B正确。
考点:考查虚拟语气
点评:虚拟语气是高考每年的必考点,用法较多,平时学习应积累巩固。

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts,it came without wrap(包装).
On September 11 th , 1 958,Mum gave birth to Richard.After she brought him home from hospital,she put him in my lap,saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is.” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own.I played with it day and night. I sang to it, I told it stories.I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however,I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it.Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital.It had a fever. For several days,I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”,“pitiful",and “dying”, which sounded Ominous.
Christmas was coming, “Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives, that’ll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke,his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning.Dad jumped out of bed to answer it.From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!” “Thank God!” I heard Mum cry.
From the window upstairs,I watched my parents rush out to the car.I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat.But I knew they were not empty: they were filled with love !
