题目内容
If you had told me in advance, I ___ him at the airport.
A.would meet B.would had meet C.would have met D.would have meet
C
【解析】
试题分析:句意:如果你提前告诉我,我将去飞机场接你。根据从句的谓语动词可知had told,主句也是表示是对过去的虚拟,所以谓语动词应该用would have done,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。考生容易误选D。
即学即练:You are late.If you ________ a little minutes earlier, you ________ him.
A. came; would meet
B. had come; would have met
C. came; would have met
D. were to come; would meet
解析:B。句意可知“没能遇到他”,表示对过去事实的虚拟,主句用would/could/should/might+过去分词,从句用过去完成时,故选B。
A jobless man applied for the position of "office boy" at Microsoft.The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test."You are employed," he said."Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as the date when you may start." The man replied, "But I don't have a computer, neither an e-mail." "I'm sorry," said the HR manager."If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn’t exist cannot have the job."
The man left with no hope at all.He didn't know what to do, with only ten dollars in his pocket.He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10 kg tomatoes.He then sold the tomatoes from door to door.In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital (资金). He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.
The man realized that he could survive in this way, and started to go every day earlier, and return later.Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day.Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet (车队) of delivery vehicles.Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商) in the US.
He started to plan his family's future and decided to have a life insurance.He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan.When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his e-mail.The man replied, "I don't have an e-mail."The broker said curiously, "You don't have an e-mail, and yet have succeeded to build an empire.Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?" The man thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft !"
