2018年专四真题虚拟语气和情态动词-章振邦语法书页数标注

Subjunctive mood
(P122, p. 129. P 143 动词过去完成体P181-190, 395)条件句
14. “I wondered if I could have a word with you.” The past tense in the sentence refers to a __B___. (p128) 2017
A. past event for exact time reference
B. present event for tentativeness
C. present event for uncertainty
D. past event for politeness
V. in specific contexts, the simple past can also denote the present or the future time. There are two uses. One is known as the attitudinal past (属于“表态性过去时” (attitudinal past), 即表示说话人当前的试探性态度, 而非过去时间, 多用于表示意愿或心理状态的动词) , that is , the past tense is associated with the present time in independent clauses expressing a question, request or suggestion. Its effect is to make the question/request/suggestion less direct, implying a polite, somewhat tentative attitude试探性态度，婉转语气on the part of the speaker.
A: Did you want me?
B.Yes, I wondered if you could give me some help .
Want, wonder, think, hope
The other is what we call the hypothetical past.The simple past refers not to a fact but to a non-fact, and is typically found in that-clauses following such constructions as
It’s time….
I wish
I’d rather
Suppose
As if
15. “If I were you, I wouldn’t wait to propose to her.” The subjunctive mood in the sentence is used to ____D______.183

Were-subjunctive has only on form were, which applies to subjects of all persons, is hypothetical or unreal in meaning

54.If only the patient ______a different treatment instead of using the antibiotics, he might still be alive now. P 186 2007
A.had received
B.received
C.should receive
D.were receiving
正确答案为A). If only引导的虚拟语气,解释为”要是…该多好啊!”. 与现在的事实相反的则if only后接过去式did,和过去事实相反的则接过去完成时had done. 这里是说要是这个病人接受了不同的治疗方式(其实那个时候并没有接受),与过去事实相反用过去完成时. 句意: 如果那个病人不使用抗生素而是采用其他疗法,他现在可能还活着呢.
51.If only I ______ play the guitar as well as you! 2006 P 186 P192
A would
B could
C should

52. 正确答案为B). could表示能够,是一种一般能力. 表示具体能力用be able to . p. 192 If only引导的虚拟语气,表示”要是….该多好啊!”. 句意: 要是我能像你那样把吉他弹得那么好该多好啊!
3. If you explained the situation to your solicitor, he ____ able to advise you much better than I can. （2005年51题）2015

A. will be
B. was
C. would be
D. were
[译文]如果你把情况向你的事务律师说明，他会比我更能给你提出好的建议。

[考点]虚拟语气。

本句条件从句中的谓语动词用了过去式explained，但这是复合时态形式，主句说明其内容与现在/将来的情况相反，所以主句谓语应该由would+动词原形构成。

B，C不用于虚拟语气；D．were只用于表虚拟的条件句中。

9．___ if I had arrived yesterday without letting you know beforehand? （2004年44题）
A. Would you be surprised
B. Were you surprised
C. Had you been surprised
D. Would you have been surprised
44．答案：A 参考译文：如果昨天没有提前通知你，我就来了，你会觉得奇怪吗？
试题分析：本题考查的是虚拟语气的用法。

详细解答：这是一个错综时间条件句。

条件从句表示的动作和主句表示的动作，发生的时间是不一致的，动词的形式要根据表示的时间来调整。

10．All of us would have enjoyed the party much more if there ___ quite such a crowd of people there. （2000年49题）
A. weren’t
B. hasn’t been
C. hadn’t been
D. wouldn’t be
[解析]考点：虚拟语气。

由于主句中使用了would have done，即表示与过去事实相反，那么从句中相应地使用had done。

[译文]若不是那儿人太多，我们在聚会上都会玩得更尽兴的。

11. If your car ___ any attention during the first 12 months, take it to an authorized dealer. （1998年43题）
A. shall need
B. should need
C. would need
D. will need
情态动词。

should可以表示语气较强的假设，出现在if从句中或用于省略了if的条件句句首位置上。

例如：
a．If you should change your mind，please let us know．b．Should you be interested，I have a book on the subject you might like to see．
should的这一用法经常出现在商务信函中，表示“万一”、“假若”。

shall 有类似用法，用于if、when等引导的从句中，表示将来的可能性，不过语气太强。

例如：
c．If you shall ever change your opinion，come to me again．should如果用在以if和in case引导的从句中则表示某事不太可能发生。

有时在这种句子中主语和should可以倒装，把should放在句首。

[译文]如果你购买的车子在最初12个月内出现问题，请与授权经销商交涉。

12. ____ , I will marry him all the same. (2004年42题)票
A. Was he rich or poor
B. Whether rich or poor
C. Were he rich or poor
D. Be he rich or poor whether she be right or wrong, she will have my unswerbing support. 表让步
里，be用于虚拟语气句，引导一个(选择性)让步状语从句，相当于whether he be rich or poor。

由于whether省略，这时be需要提前。

B其实也讲得通，只是意思上不同，前者表示：不管我是富还是穷，我都要嫁给他。

又如：Whether rich or poor，old or young，all have to die．(《新时代英汉大典》)[译文]不管他是富还是穷，我都要嫁给他。

Whether it (he)be...or...结构，意为“不管(不论)是……还是……”，表示让步，为虚拟语气的一种表达方式。

其省略式为“be it…or…；be he…or…”等，句子必须倒装。

如：I can translate all these books into Chinese，be they in English，French or Latin．[例句] There being no danger，the police went back to their office．险情解除，警察回警局了。

3.虚拟语气用在由“whether” 引导的让步状语从句中，从句谓语用原形动词。

例如：
All engines work on this principle, whether they be large or small.
所有发动机都按这一原理工作，无论它们是大还是小。

We must finish the work before we go home, whether it be early or late.
无论时间早晚，我们必须在回家前干完工作。

All matter, whether it be gas, liquid or solid, is made up of atoms.
所有物质，不论是气体，液体，或固体，都是由原子构成。

在此句型中，可省去whether ，而将be放在主语前。

例如：Be it so, we must continue to do the test.
We must do our best to fulfil the task, be it ever so hard.
Example:
______ I'll marry him all the same.
a. Were he rich or poor
b. Be he rich or poor
c. Whether rich or poor
d. Being rich or poor
考点4：it is (high/about) time that的结构中，从句使用一般过去式。

注意：在this is the first time/ second time that….句型中，从句中谓语动词用陈述语气完成时态。

This is the second time that we have achieved such a great success.例如:p186
