语法知识冲关
虚拟语气(Ⅱ)
虚拟语气的特殊句型
1.wish的宾语从句
I wish I were a flying bird.
I wish I hadn't made such a mistake.
2.would rather+从句
I would rather you paid me now.
I would rather you came tomorrow.
3.as if/though+从句
She loves the baby as if it were her own son.
I remember the whole thing as if it had happened yesterday.
4.It's (about/high) time that+
It's high time that
5.表示要求、命令、建议的虚拟语气,即should+动词原形,should可省,此类动词有:
一个坚持:insist
二个命令:order, command
三个建议:suggest, advise, propose
四个要求:demand, desire, require, request
We suggested that Tom (should) have a rest.
名师点睛
(1)若suggest, insist不表“建议”,“坚决/执意要求(某人做某事)”时,而表示“暗示、表明”,“坚持认为”时,宾语从句不用虚拟而用陈述语气。【来源:21cnj*y.co*m】
He insisted that she was seriously ill and that she (should) be sent to hospital at once.
His pale face suggested that he was ill.
(2)若以上动词的名词形式构成名词性从句,即主语从句、表语从句、同位语从句,仍旧使用虚拟语气。
My demand is that she (should) come to see me once a week.
6.without, but for构成虚拟语气,其主句同if引导的虚拟语气的主句形式
Without sunlight, people's life would be different from today.
But for your help, I wouldn't have finished my work.
7.if only... “要是……就好了”
If only we had followed your advice!
8.It's necessary/strange/natural/important/a pity/no wonder/impossible+that从句
主语从句中谓语动词用“should+动词原形”,其中should可以省略
It's strange that she (should) refuse to come to the party.
9.
There was plenty of time; she needn't have hurried.
三、典例剖析 思维拓展
考点一 用所给词的正确形式填空。
例1 His determined look_______ his meaning that all the injured should________from the spot to the hospital at once.(convey)
【答案】conveyed; be conveyed
【解析】句意:他坚定的表情表达了他的想法:所有的伤员应该立即从现场转移到医院。通过分析可知:第一个空需要用谓语动词,而且时态是过去时conveyed;第二个空主语是all the injured且convey表示转移的含义,同时还有情态动词should,所以此处应该用be conveyed。
例2 I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas______ each other
in the classroom.
【答案】with
【解析】句意:我想让学生们在课堂上透彻地学习这些(历史)材料,并彼此交换意见。因为句型:exchange sth. with sb.与某人交换某物,再根据句意,所以答案为with。
考点二 虚拟语气II
例1 It's time that you ____ home and I'd rather you ____ again tomorrow.
A. are going; will come B. go; are coming
C. went; came D. would go; would come
【答案】C
【解析】句意:你该回家了,我宁愿你明天早点过来。分析句子可知:It's (about/high) time that+用虚拟。would rather+从句表示跟将来事实相反。
例2 The young man insisted that he ____ nothing wrong and ____ free.
A. did; set B. had done; should be set
C. do; be set D. had done; must be set
【答案】B
【解析】句意:这个小男生坚持认为自己没有做错,应该被释放。分析句子可知:表示要求、命令、建议的虚拟语气,即should+动词原形,should可省,此类动词有:一个坚持:insist
二个命令:order, command
三个建议:suggest, advise, propose
四个要求:demand, desire, require, request。第一个空表示跟过去事实相反,所以用had done结构。
四、举一反三 成果巩固
考点一 单句语法填空
在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
1.She helps transform literature ________ braille.

8.The message ________ (convey) here is clear:“Actions speak louder than words.”21教育名师原创作品

【解析】考查with复合结构。句意:一次聚会上,我的教练嘴里含着一块饼干,惊喜地问是谁做的这些饼干。
3.While ________ (eat), she would even turn her back to me.21世纪1
【答案】eating
【解析】考查现在分词作状语。句意:吃着(胡萝卜)时,她(土拨鼠)甚至会背朝着我。she与eat之间为主动关系,且eat与主句中谓语动词表示的动作同时发生,故填现在分词的一般式。
4.With a lot of homework ________ (do), I can't watch TV.
【答案】to do
【解析】考查with的复合结构。with复合结构在句中作原因状语,to do表示将来的动作。句意:因为有许多作业要做,我不能看电视。
5.The reason ________ he failed the English exam was ________ he didn't learn it well.
【答案】why; that

考点四 单句语法填空
用括号内单词的正确形式填空。
1.We often hear that children wish they ________(be) grownups, and that old people wish to be young.
【答案】were
【解析】考查对现在情况的假设。句意:我们经常听说孩子们希望长大,而老人希望年轻。wish后的宾语从句一般用虚拟语气。此处表示对现在情况的假设,故用一般过去时,因此本题答案为were。
2.It was John who broke the window. Why are you talking to me as if I ________ (do) it?
【答案】had done
【解析】考查对过去情况的假设。句意:打破窗户的是约翰,为什么你和我说话的样子好像是我打破的?表示对过去的虚拟,故as if后的从句用过去完成时。

【答案】reflected/should reflect
【解析】考查固定句式。句意:全国范围内的雾霾在不断提醒我们是时候反思自己了。由it is high time sb. did/should do sth.可知填reflected或should reflect。
4.If I ________ (listen) to the teacher carefully yesterday, I ________ (know) how to do it now.
【答案】had listened; would know
【解析】考查混合条件虚拟语气。从句中有时间状语yesterday,所以填had listened;而由主句的时间状语now可知,应填would know。
5.The old lady insisted that the young man had stolen her wallet and that he ________(send) to the police station.
【答案】(should)be sent
【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意:那位老太太坚持说那个年轻人偷了她的钱包并坚持要把他带到警局。insist作“坚决/执意要求(做某事)”讲时,其宾语从句的谓语动词需用“should+动词原形”,should可以省略。

【答案】
Early one morning in April, 2019, it was raining . I was in my classroom by myself. “We shall soon leave Beijing and return to Sichuan. You'll say goodbye to your new classmates.” my father told me the other day sounded once again my ears.
Although I had studied at school for only two months, I loved everything there. What's more, the teaching conditions here are better than those in Sichuan. As a child was born in Sichuan, I knew almost nothing about the world outside. , after I came to Beijing, I saw so many things I had never seen.
【解析】
第一处:hardly→hard hard修饰谓语was raining。hardly“几乎不”。
第二处:seating→seated或sitting 表示某人“坐着”,有两种形式be seated/be sitting。21·cn·jy·com
第三处:去掉back return本身已含“回去”之意,不再用back;同类词还有enter,其后不再用into。
第四处:That→What what引导主语从句,并在从句中作宾语。
第五处:on→in 考查介词搭配。in my ears “在我耳边”。
第六处:school前加the at the school“在这所学校”。
第七处:real→really 副词really修饰动词loved。
第八处:many→much much修饰形容词或副词的比较级。
第九处:which→who/that 先行词为人,因此用who/that引导定语从句。
第十处:Therefore→However 根据句意可知,应用however“然而”。

Ⅲ. 阅读理解
A
Books are to mankind what memory is to the individual. They contain the history of our race, the discoveries we have made, the accumulated knowledge and experience of ages; they picture for us the marvels and beauties of nature, help us in our difficulties, comfort us in sorrow and in suffering, change hours of weariness into moments of delight, store our minds with ideas, fill them with good and happy thoughts, and lift us out of and above ourselves.
Many of those who have had, as we say, all that this world can give, have yet told us they owed much of their purest happiness to books. Macaulay had wealth and fame, rank and power, and yet he tells us in his biography that he owed the happiest hours of his life to books. He says, “If anyone would make me the greatest king that ever lived, with palaces and gardens and fine dinners, and wines and coaches, and beautiful clothes, and hundreds of servants, on condition that I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading.” Precious and priceless are the blessings which the books scatter around our daily paths. We walk, in imagination, with the noblest spirits, through the most charming regions.
Without stirring from our firesides we may wander to the most remote regions of the earth, or go up high into fields when Spender's shapes of unearthly beauty flock(人群) to meet us, where Milton's angels bell in our ears the choral hymns(赞美诗) of Paradise. Science, art, literature, philosophy, —all that man has though, all that man has done, —the experience that has been bought with the sufferings of a hundred generations, —all are gathered up for us in the world of books.

Regarded as one of the English language's most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn't receive much
formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.
Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middleclass family, the young John didn't attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family's friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father's death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis(肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.
At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didn't stop his pursuit of rhythm(韵律).
John Keats' next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy's hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more narrativebased and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.
