　　Ⅲ.易错模块

　　1．The workers will go on strike if the demands they ________ put forward are turned down.

　　A．couldB．would

　　C．/

　　D．had

　　解析：选C。句意：如果工人提出的要求被拒绝，他们将把罢工继续下去。if the demands they put forward are turned down为条件状语从句。在条件状语从句中用一般现在时表将来。从主句“will go on”可推断出if从句中应为一般现在时，故选C。

　　2．Class regulations require ________ is the last to leave the classroom ________ off all the lights.

　　A．who；should turn

　　B．whom；shall turn

　　C．whomever；turns

　　D．whoever；turn

　　解析：选D。考查主语从句和虚拟语气。whoever引导主语从句；同时“________ is the last to leave the classroom ________ off all the lights”在句中作require的宾语，从句要用虚拟语气，结构是“should＋动词原形”，should可以省略。

　　3．The captain urged that the mission ________ before dark.

　　A．must be finished

　　B．be finished

　　C．ought to be finished

　　D．was finished

　　解析：选B。考查虚拟语气。urge表“极力主张，强烈要求，强调”，引导that从句，要使用虚拟语气，形式为should＋do，should可以省略。根据题意，本题正确答案为B。

　　4．The look on his face suggested that he ________ angry and we ________ him alone.

　　A．was；left

　　B．was；should leave

　　C．should be；should leave

　　D．should be；left

　　解析：选B。前面的suggest当“暗示”讲，故从句的前半句要用陈述语气，而后面表示提“建议”，故要用should＋do。

　　Ⅳ.语法专练

　　本单元语法——虚拟语气

　　1．(2011·高考北京卷)Maybe if I ________ science，and not literature then，I would be able to give you more help.

　　A．studied

　　B．would study

　　C．had studied

　　D．was studying

　　解析：选C。句意：或许如果当初我学习理科而不是文学的话，我(现在)就能给你更多的帮助。根据从句中的状语then可知，从句表示对过去情况的虚拟，根据与过去事实相反的虚拟条件句的表达方法可知，条件状语从句中应该用“had done”。因此选项C正确。A项表示与现在或者将来相反的虚拟条件；B项和D项不能表示虚拟语气。

　　2．—Why didn’t you tell me the truth that day?

　　—I ________，but you ________ for Shanghai when I went to see you.

　　A．did；would leave

　　B．would；had been away

　　C．would have；had left

　　D．had；were away

　　解析：选C。考查含蓄虚拟语气和时态。but引导的句子交代了含蓄的条件“假如你没有动身去上海的话”，所以第一空要用would have done结构，此处省略了told you the truth；第二空中的动作发生在从句动作“went to see you”以前，属于过去的过去，应该用过去完成时。

　　3．(2016·河南模拟)—Mary，how did your math test go?

　　—I had thought I ________，but in fact I came in the top 10 in my class.

　　A．should have failed

　　B．couldn’t have failed

　　C．might have failed

　　D．shouldn’t have failed

　　解析：选C。考查情态动词的用法。might have done表示对过去发生的事情的猜测或担心，意思是“或许会……”，而事实上不一定如此。

　　4．(2016·潍坊教学检测)How I wish I ________ my mouth before I shouted at my mum!

　　A．shut

　　B．have shut

　　C．had shut

　　D．would shut

　　解析：选C。考查虚拟语气。wish后跟从句，从句要用虚拟语气，因为后面是过去时，故此处表示与过去事实相反，要用过去完成时。

　　5．—Why didn’t you go to Mike’s birthday party yesterday?

　　—Well，I ________，but I forgot it.

　　A．should

　　B．would

　　C．should have

　　D．must have

　　解析：选C。should have done表示“过去本应该做某事(却没有做)”。must have done则用于表示对过去所发生事情的肯定猜测。

　　6．—Dad，can I surf the Internet?

　　—Again？I wish that you ________ going online________ your health.

　　A．know；will do harm to

　　B．knew；is doing harm to

　　C．know；have done harm to

　　D．knew；were doing harm to

　　解析：选B。本题中wish后的宾语从句通常用虚拟语气，表示与事实相反或不太可能实现的愿望。

　　7．________ it rain tomorrow，we would have to ________ the picnic.

　　A．Would；put forward

　　B．Should；call off

　　C．Were；put off

　　D．Should；put up

　　解析：选B。put forward意为“提出”；call off意为“取消”；put up意为“举起”。根据句意可排除A和D两项；were不能和动词原形rain连用，排除C。此句实际上是一个对将来表示虚拟的句型，即If＋主语＋should＋动词＋其他，主语＋would＋动词＋其他。如果if被省略，则要将should提到句首。

　　8．So you have to leave.How nice it ________ if you ________ a bit longer!

　　A．would be；could stay

　　B．is；can stay

　　C．should be；stay

　　D．was；are able to stay

　　解析：选A。句意为：这么说你得离开了。要是你能多呆会儿那该多好啊！从第一句可知，对方不能再呆了，所以后边应用与现在事实相反的虚拟语气，从句用过去时，主句用(情态动词＋)动词原形。

　　9．Jenny ________ her word.I wonder why she changed her mind.

　　A．must have kept

　　B．can have kept

　　C．should have kept

　　D．needn’t have kept

　　解析：选C。考查“情态动词＋have done”的用法。这里表示“过去本该做……，(而实际上)却没有做……”应该用should have done结构。

　　10．Look at the terrible situation I am in！If only I ________ your advice.

　　A．follow

　　B．had followed

　　C．would follow

　　D．have followed

　　解析：选B。此处是对过去事实的虚拟，if only后的句子应用过去完成时。

　　A卷

　　Ⅰ.单项填空

　　1．As there is less and less coal and oil，scientists are exploring new ways of making use of ________ energy，such as sunlight，wind and water for power and fuel.

　　A．primary　B．alternative

　　C．instant

　　D．unique

　　解析：选B。考查形容词辨析。既然石油和煤都越来越少，人们只好使用一些其它可替代这些燃料的东西，alternative 有“可选择的，可替代的”之意，符合句意。primary“首要的，初期的”，instant“立即的，迅速的”，unique“独特的”。

　　2．When I saw Jane，I stopped and smiled，but she________me and walked on.

　　A．refused

　　B．ignored

　　C．avoided

　　D．missed

　　解析：选B。考查动词词义辨析。句意为：当我看到简时，我停下来笑了笑，但她没注意到我，继续走了。refuse拒绝；ignore忽视；avoid避免；miss错过。

　　A．To start with

　　B．After all

　　C．In reality

　　4．The good thing about children is that they ________ very easily to new environments.

　　A．adapt

　　B．appeal

　　C．attach

　　D．apply

　　解析：选A。该句的意思是“对于孩子们来说比较好的是他们能够非常容易适应新的环境。”adapt to 适应；appeal to 呼吁，使感兴趣；attach to粘贴；apply to 申请，所以答案为A。

　　5．—How I wish I________to go to the gas station before we left.

　　—Do you mean we’re out of gas?

　　A．didn’t forget

　　B．wasn’t forgetting

　　C．wouldn’t have forgotten

　　D．hadn’t forgotten

　　解析：选D。在wish后的宾语从句中使用虚拟语气，表达与过去事实相反的假设时，从句谓语为过去完成时；与现在事实相反的假设时，从句谓语为一般过去时。由句中“before we left”可知“I wish...”所表达的愿望与过去的事实相反，故应使用过去完成时。

　　6．(2016·南京金陵中学月考)The reason for some people’s failure is that they don’t bother to________the skills they need to succeed.

　　B．associate

　　C．accumulate

　　C．put off

　　D．cut off

　　解析：选D。句意：军用直升机为那些地震中的幸存者抛投食物和药品，这些幸存者仍在偏远山村，他们与外界的联系被中断。lay off意为“解雇”；pay off意为“付清，获得成功”；put off意为“推迟”；cut off意为“切断，中断”。故选D。

　　10．The water in the lake is so clean and calm that the ________ of the trees in the water was very clear.

　　A．mirror

　　B．sight

　　C．reflection

　　D．shadow

　　解析：选C。考查名词辨析。reflection此处意为“映在水中的倒影”，而不是“影子”或“阴影”，故不能用shadow。其他选择均不合题意。句意：湖中的水是如此的清澈平静，以至于里面树的倒影是如此的清晰。

　　Children have unique taste and interest.Although Harry Potter may be an all-time favourite book for children all over the globe，they prefer funny books to fairy tales when it comes to bedtime.The top three favourite books in bedtime stories are The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler，The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and The BFG by Roald Dahl.

　　There are many writers who popularised the children’s literature or children’s books through their brilliant works.John Amos Comenius is the author of Orbis Pictus which is considered to be the first picture book specifically for children.Charles Perrault is believed to be the one who laid the foundations of fairy tales.Perrault’s stories include Little Red Riding Hood，Cinderella，Sleeping Beauty and so on.Hans Christian Anderson is best known for his fairy tales，such as The Snow Queen，The Little Mermaid and The Emperor’s New Clothes.

　　Many children’s books have been made into feature films and are equally successful in this medium，like Alice in Wonderland，the BFG series and the Harry Porter series.These series collected a huge amount of money when released worldwide in cinema halls.All these movies based on popular children’s books are not only popular among children but also popular among adult audiences.

　　Iceland has the highest birth rate in Europe，the highest divorce rate，and the highest percentage of women working outside the home.Such statistics are often evidence of a miserable，chaotic(混乱的) society，with loads of children，broken homes and absent mothers.But Iceland is the exception— its citizens are the happiest in the world.

　　Perhaps the country’s geographic location contributes to Icelanders’ happiness.Located in the middle of the North Atlantic，with Greenland as its nearest neighbor，Iceland is free from the taboos(禁忌) that cause so much trouble elsewhere.For instance，people who divorce are not looked down upon by the society.

　　Icelanders are offsprings (后代)of the Vikings，a north European people who invaded European coasts from the 8th through the 10th century.This tradition of getting out into the world lives on in modern Iceland.Practically all Icelanders have studied or worked abroad，and most speak English.

　　Perhaps as a result，Iceland’s economic policies_blend the best of those from Europe with the US to create its own welfare system.

　　“Many of us have lived in the US，and studied there，” said the

　　Icelandic Prime Minister Geir Haarde.“We have both taken from them and found that naturally we share the can-do attitude—that if you work hard，anything can be done.”

　　Indeed，the country is rich in writers，painters，film makers and

　　musicians.There’s Sigur Ros，a post-rock band，and also a national

　　symphony orchestra that plays to the highest standards all over the world.Half the population appears to have written a book.

　　“Iceland has harsh (恶劣的) nature，with its bitter everchanging

　　weather，” said Haraldur Jonsson，a painter，sculptor and video and performance artist.“We cannot escape it.So we find ways________ .We have to have a rich internal(内在的)life to fill the empty spaces.”

　　【解题导语】　冰岛，一个充满着“矛盾”的西欧小国，那里有高出生率、高离婚率、高妇女就业率……这一切都是混乱、痛苦的社会的象征，但那里的人们却是世界上最快乐的。

　　5．It is commonly believed that high birth rate and divorce rate will bring about________.

　　A．social problems

　　B．happiness

　　C．a unique welfare system

　　D．modern way of life

　　解析：选A。事实细节题。从文章第一段中的“Such statistics are often evidence of a miserable，chaotic(混乱的)society”可知答案选A项，高出生率和高离婚率会引起社会问题。

　　6．The underlined word “blend” in the fourth paragraph means ________.

　　A．combine

　　B．correct

　　C．compare

　　D．compete

　　解析：选A。词义猜测题。这里的意思是“冰岛经济政策融合了欧美国家最大的优点，形成了自己的福利制度”，据此推断blend表示“融合，混合”，故答案选A项。

　　7．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for Icelanders’

　　happiness?

　　A．Geographic location.

　　B．A rich internal life.

　　C．National pride.

　　8．The most suitable phrase to fill in the blank in the last paragraph is ________.

　　A．to get rid of it

　　B．to have it changed

　　C．to get away from it

　　D．to live with it

　　解析：选D。推理判断题。从上文的“We cannot escape it.”和下文的“We have to have a rich internal(内在的)life to fill the empty spaces.”可知，“我们无法逃避，我们只能接受”，to live with it最符合语境，故答案选D项。
