一、单句语法填空
1.We ________ (enjoy) the sunshine in Sanya now if it were not for the delay of our flight.
答案:would be enjoying句意:要不是耽搁了航班,我们现在正在三亚享受阳光。根据后面的“now”和“if it were not for ...”可知,此处是对现在状况的虚拟,故主句用would be doing。
2.When I was small, my mom ________ read me stories at night.
答案:would句意:当我小时候,我母亲常常在晚上给我读故事。would “过去常常”,表示过去的习惯性的行为。
3.The accident ________ have been caused by a dog running across the road, but we don't know for sure.
答案:might句意:事故可能是由一条横穿马路的狗引起的,但我们不确定。分析句子可知,本句是对过去动作的推测,可能性不大,故填might。
4.He looked so hungry as though he ________ (eat) a decent meal for a month.答案:hadn't eaten句意:他看起来如此饿好像已有一个月没有吃过一顿像样的饭了。由主句中的looked可知,as if/though后面跟过去完成时表示对过去的虚拟。
5.I was caught in a traffic jam for over an hour, otherwise, I ________ (keep) you waiting for such a long time.
答案:wouldn't have kept句意:我在交通堵塞中被困了一个多小时,否则我不会让你等这么长时间。句中用了虚拟语气,otherwise说明的从句内容和过去事实相反,指如果不被交通阻塞困住,主句谓语动词用“would/should/could/might +have+过去分词”形式。
6.Although passing the driving test ________ be difficult now, it's worth the
efforts.
答案:can句意:虽然现在通过驾驶考试可能是困难的,但付出的努力是值得的。此处用can表示有时可能会,故填can。

8.I'm not sure of the reason for the dog's illness, but it ________ (cause) by eating too much.
答案:may have been caused句意:我不能肯定狗生病的原因,但它也许是因为吃得太多了。根据前句“I'm not sure of the reason for the dog's illness”可知,这里为不肯定的推测,故用may have done “可能做某事”;由于dog's illness与cause 之间为被动关系,故答案为may have been caused。
9.—Can I pay the bill by check?
—Sorry, sir.But it is the rule of our hotel that payment ________ be made in cash.
答案:shall句意:——我可以用支票付账吗?——对不起,先生。但这是我们酒店的规定,应当以现金付款。shall可以在法律条文、规章制度中表示规定或义务等,此处是旅馆的规定。

17.The head teacher demanded that the paper ________ (finish) after class.

18.How I wish I ________ (have) the chance to watch the football games with my father, who was a reporter there.
答案:had had wish从句用虚拟语气,根据逗号后面的非限制性定语从句中的谓语动词was可知,这里表示的是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,因此应用过去完成时。

21.It ________ (be) Mr Black because he is away on a trip to China.
答案:can't be句意:那人不可能是布莱克先生,因为他去中国旅游了。根据because引导的原因状语从句的内容可知,说话者的推测是很有把握的。表示非常有把握的否定推测应该用can't。
22.You ________ as well tell us now; we'll find out sooner or later.
答案:may/might句意:你最好现在告诉我们,我们迟早会查明的。may/might as well是固定搭配,意为“最好,倒不如”。
23.The door ________ open, no matter how hard she pushed.

24.________ it rain tomorrow, we would have to cancel the football match.
答案:Should本句中条件句是对将来状况的虚拟,当条件句中有助动词had, were, should时,可以将if省略,把这些助动词放在句首,构成倒装结构。
25.—________ you interrupt now? Can't you see I'm on the phone?
—Sorry, sir, but it's urgent.

二、单句改错
1.If he studies at this school, he would know you well.

2.The order came that the medical supplies are sent to the countryside.

答案:are→(should) be此句中that引导同位语从句,解释前面的order 的内容,order后面的从句应该使用虚拟语气“(should) do”的结构,故将are改为be。
3.He mustn't be a basketball player, because he is much too short.

9.He commanded that roads built to link castles across the land.

虚拟语气
一、虚拟语气在非真实条件句中的用法
1.基本用法
2.混合虚拟语气(错综时间条件句)
有时非真实条件从句的动作和主句的动作不同时发生,或主从句的动作有一个是事实,这种情况下谓语动词要根据各自的具体情况来确定。
If it had_rained last night, it would_be wet now.
3.含蓄虚拟语气
有时非真实条件不是通过if引导的条件句来表现的,而是通过一些词或短语来表示,如:without, but for, otherwise, but等。
I couldn't_have_finished the work on time without your help.
But_for your timely warning, we would_have_got_into great trouble.
4.非真实条件句中省略if的用法
如果非真实条件句的谓语动词中有had, were, should,可省略if,而将had, were, should提前形成部分倒装。
Had he taken my advice, he would not have made such a mistake.
Should it be sunny tomorrow, we would go hiking.
Were there no air or water, there would be no living things on the earth.
二、虚拟语气用于其他从句中
1.用于表示要求、命令、建议、推荐等意义的动词,如:order, require, demand, suggest, advise, propose, command, request, insist, recommend等后接宾语从句时,从句谓语动词为“(should+)动词原形”。由上述动词派生或转化的名词的同位语从句或表语从句中也要用虚拟语气。
The teacher ordered that all of the students (should)_be here on time.
We followed his advice that we (should)_give up the plan.
His suggestion is that we (should)_accept these gifts.
注意:①suggest作“建议”讲时,后面的从句用虚拟语气;作“暗示,表明”讲时,后面的从句用陈述语气。
I suggest that you (should)_come here early tomorrow.
All the evidence suggested that we were right.
②insist表示“坚决要求”或“坚持主张”之意时,其后用虚拟语气,即(should +)动词原形;但表示“坚持说,坚持认为”之意时,其后使用陈述语气。
She insists that we (should)_leave at 6:00 tomorrow morning, or we might miss the flight.
Little Tony insisted that he had_seen a man flying in the sky last night.
2.在as if, as though, if only引导的从句及wish引导的宾语从句中,与现在情况相反,从句谓语用过去式(be动词常用were);与过去情况相反,从句谓语用“had +过去分词”;与将来情况相反,从句谓语用“would/could/might/should+动词原形”。
He works with such enthusiasm as if he were never tired.
He talked about the film as if/as though he had really seen it.
3.在“It is desired/suggested/requested/recommended/ordered/strange/surprising/astonishing+that 从句”中,谓语用“(should+)动词原形”。
It is strange that the girl (should)_be so mean.
4.在“It is (about/high) time+that从句”中,谓语动词常用过去式。
