25.. D
without, but for;要没有…,相当于if从句。本句可改为if you hadn’t helped us, we______ this task on time。这是与过去事实相反的句子。选D
24.. C
本题考查虚拟语气在insist从句中的用法。若insist表示“坚持要求做事”从句中应用should+v, should可省略;若insist表示“坚持说,坚持认为”则从句需根据句意选择合适的时态。本句句意为:如果他坚持要求被派往那儿的话,现在一切都好了。事实上并非如此。故选C。
23.. D
本题考查虚拟语气在wish从句中的用法。(与第6题would rather的用法相同。)由句中should have set aside及how busy I was可知,该句表示与过去事实相反。故选D。
