2019年高考英语语法必考考点(8):虚拟语气及情态动词含解析
李仕才
【考点解读】
情态动词是每年高考的热点也是难点,每年单项填空题必考一题。考点集中在:情态动词表示推测的基本用法及区别;情态动词否定式的用法辨析:“情态动词+have done”的用法区别等。
虚拟语气在高考命题中不是重点,但是难点。考点常集中在含蓄条件句以及主语、宾语从句等特定句型中虚拟语气的使用上,因此考生应熟练掌握含蓄条件句中主从句的时态要求以及一些典型句型中虚拟语气的具体形式。
虚拟语气考点透析
考点一、虚拟语气的基本用法
1.与现在事实相反的虚拟语气,基本结构为:主语+动词的一般过去时(be动词用were)+其他成分+if +should/would/could...+动词原形+其他成分。例如:
①If it were not for the fact that she ______ sing,I would invite her to the party.
A. couldn’t B. shouldn’t C. can’t D. might not
解析 句意为:如果不是因为她不会唱歌的事实,我会邀请她来参加那次聚会的。that从句为同位语从句,描述的是事实,用陈述语气。正确答案为C。
2.与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,基本结构为:主语+动词的过去完成时+其他成分+if +should/would/could...+have done+其他成分。例如:
If the weather had been better,we could have had a picnic. But it ______ all day.
A. rained B. rains C. has rained D.is raining
解析
句意为:如果天气好的话,我们是能够去野餐的,但是下了一天的雨。句子前半部分陈述的是与过去事实相反的事情,所以用了虚拟语气。“下了一天的雨”是事实,所以用陈述语气。因为是发生在过去的事实,所以正确答案为A。
3.与将来事实相反的虚拟语气,基本结构为:主语+动词的一般过去时/should do/were to do+其他成分+if +should/would/could...+动词原形+其他成分。例如:
If I ______ plan to do anything I want to,I’d like to go to Tibet and travel through as much of it as possible.
A. would B. could C. had to D. ought to
解析 句意为:如果我能够计划做我想做的事情,我想去西藏并且尽可能多玩一些地方。句子描述的是与将来事实相反的事情,所以正确答案为B。
考点二、含蓄虚拟条件句
这样的虚拟句不含有if从句,而是以but for/without/or/otherwise等引导的句子代替if从句,主句的谓语动词的形式与前面虚拟语气的基本用法相同。例如:
Thank you for all your hard work last week. I don’t think we ______ it without you.
A. can manage B. could have managed
C. could manage D. can have managed
解析 由语境可知这里要表达的意思是:如果没有你们辛勤的工作,我们不可能处理好这件事。很显然,这是对过去发生的事实的虚拟,所以要用could have done,故应选B。
考点三、主从句时间不一致的虚拟条件句
在有些虚拟条件句中,主从句时间不一致,应根据不同情况区别对待。例如:
It’s hard for me to imagine what I would be doing today if I ______ in love,at the age of seven,with the Melinda Cox Library in my hometown.
A. wouldn’t have fallen B. had not fallen
C. should fall D. were to fall
解析 句意为:如果不是我在七岁时爱上家乡的Melinda Cox图书馆的话,很难想象今天的我会是什么样子。主句描述的是与现在事实相反的事情,从句描述的是与过去事实相反的事情。正确答案为B。
考点四、名词性从句中的虚拟语气
在含有表示坚持、建议、命令、要求等含义的名词性从句和在it做形式宾语或形式主语的复合句中,宾语补足语是necessary/strange/essential/natural/a pity/a shame等表示“惊奇、惋惜或者理应如此”等含义时,从句中的谓语动词需用“should+动词原形”,其中should可以省略。例如:
—Don’t you think it necessary that he ______ to Miami but to New York?
—I agree,but the problem is ______ he has refused to.
A. will not be sent; that B. not be sent; that
C. should not be sent; what D. should not send; what
解析 问句句意为:难道你不认为必须把他送到迈阿密而不是纽约吗?句子表示理应如此的意思。正确答案为B。
情态动词考点透析
考点一、情态动词基本含义的考查
情态动词的基本含义,一直是高考考查的重要内容。例如:
1. The fire spread through the hotel very quickly but everyone ______get out. A. had to B. would C. was able to D. could
解析:考查情态动词的基本含义。had to:不得不; would:表示意愿或过去常常;could倾向于表示经过长期训练而获得的能力;was able to 表示经过努力而能够做到的事或成功地做了某事。因此,答案是C。
分析:高考对情态动词基本含义的考查,仍然集中在常用的情态动词上。对常用情态动词的含义,要掌握的既准确又要全面,特别是shall, should, can, may 四个常用情态动词的含义较多,不易理解,复习时应当引起重视。
考点二、情态动词表示推测的考查
对情态动词表示推测的用法,是高考考查情态动词的一个重要方面。例如:
1. Sorry, I’m late. I ______have turned off the alarm clock and gone back to sleep again .
A. might B. should C. can D. will
解析:might have done : (过去)可能做过某事;should have done
:本应该做某事。根据本句提供的情境I’m late 表明说话人可能把闹钟关上了。答案是:A。
分析:高考对表示推测的情态动词集中在must, can, could, may, might上,准确掌握它们使用的场合,是解决问题的关键。Must 用于肯定陈述句,表示肯定推测;can, could用于疑问或否定陈述句,表示可能性推测;may, might用于陈述句,表示可能性推测;用于否定陈述句中,can’t (不可能)的语气比may not(可能不)强。此外,还要注意有对过去和对现在两种情况的推测,对过去推测用情态动词+have done ,对现在推测用情态动词+ 动词原形。
考点三、情态动词表示虚拟的考查
情态动词+have+过去分词表示与过去事实上相反的情况,也是高考单项选择题涉及到情态动词的一个重要方面。
1. There was a lot of fun at yesterday’s party. You ______come, but why didn’t you?
A. must have B. should
C. need have D. ought to have
解析:ought to have done 表示本来应该做某事而实际没做,should do 表示现在应该做某事,与题中 at yesterday’s party 表示的时间不一致。所以选D。
分析:高考对情态动词表示虚拟‘用法,表示与过去事实相反的情况。近几年高考,主要侧重should (not)have done 这一句式上,表示本来不该做却做了或本来该做却未做的事,在复习时,还应关注其它几种虚拟形式,如need (not)have done 表示本来需要做而未做或本来不需要而做的事等等,以做到有备无患。
考点四、情态动词与助动词混合考查
1.Tom, you didn’t come to the party last night?
—I______, but I suddenly remembered I had homework to do.
A. had to B. didn’t C. was going to D. wouldn’t
解析:had to:不得不;didn’t:没来;was going to:打算来;wouldn’t:不愿来。句意:——汤姆,昨晚你没来参加舞会吗?——我本打算来,但我突然记起有作业要做。But是关键词,所以答案是:C。
2.Your phone number again? I ______quite catch it.
—It’s 86184867.
A. didn’t B. couldn’t C. don’t D. can’t
解析:记住电话号码并非难事,未完全听清楚电话号码并非能力的事,此处只是说没有完全听清楚电话号码,所以,应选A。

【答案】D
【解析】考查情态动词表推测和虚拟语气。句意:我不能找到我的钱包了,昨天我有可能把它落到超市
了,但我不确定。根据句中时间状语 yesterday可知,是对过去事情的推测,故用情态动词+ have done,再根据后句but' m not sure。可知,此推测为不能肯定的推测,故用情态动词 could,表示可能”。故选D
4. (2018·北京) In today’s information age, the loss of data _________ cause serious problems for a company.
A. need B. should C. can D. must
【答案】C

have happened.
A. had been put B. were put C. should be put D. would be put
【答案】A

A. didn’t see B. haven’t seen C. hadn’t seen D. wouldn’t see

二、单句填空
1.(2017·北京高考改编) If the new safety system ______ (put) to use, the accident would never have happened.
【答案】had been put
【解析】句意:如果新的安全系统已经被投入 使用的话,这起事故就不会发生了。根据句意、句子结构以及句中的信息 “would never have happened”可知,句中If引 导的是虚拟条件从句,表示对过去的情况进行假设,故从句用过去完成时。

【答案】hadn’t seen
【解析】句意:如果不是我亲眼看到,我是不会相信的。因为主句使用的是would have done的形式,所以从句使用过去完成时态,表示对过去的虚拟。

have+过去分词。“must have+过去分词”表示对过去的肯定性推测;“may have+过去分词”表示对过去的推测;“should have done”表示本应该做某事而实际上没做。故选C。
二、单句填空
1.—I’ve prepared all kinds of food for the picnic.

【答案】need
【解析】句意:---我已经为这次野餐准备好了各种食物。---你的意思是我们不需要再带任何东西吗?根据prepared all kinds of…可知,此处为“不需要再带任何东西”,故填need。

三、单句改错
1. It’s strongly suggested that you figured out and reflect on your mistakes.
【答案】figured—figure
【解析】考查虚拟语气。此处suggest后加that引导的宾语从句,用虚拟语气。动词用(should)+动词原形,此处figure用原形。故figured—figure.
2. However, it's high time that immediate measures must be taken.
【答案】must→should
【解析】在it's high time that ...句式中,that 从句中的谓语动词应用过去式或“should+动词原形”, should不能省略,故此处must应改为should。
3. He made a suggestion that we did some volunteer work this weekend.
【答案】did→do
【解析】句意:他提议这周末我们去做些志愿工作。suggestion后接同位语从句时,从句谓语要用“ should +动词原形”,should可以省略。
4. Most citizens in Hong Kong strongly insisted that those who attacked the police with violence were put into prison.

【解析】此处为there 在 will后加be。 be句型,缺少be动词。
6. However, just several days later, I began to feel tired and can' t concentrate in class.
【答案】can't→couldn't
【解析】and连接两个并列的谓语,根据began可知,can't也应用过去式形式。故将can't改为couldn't。
7. He became very angry, but I dared not to tell him about the game.
【答案】去掉to
【解析】dare既可以作情态动词又可以作实义动词。dare的过去式为 dared,此处其前没有用助动词,说明dare在 此用作情态动词,故后跟动词原形。
8. People neglect the fact that our parents are the dearest persons in the world, so we should nice to our parents.
【答案】should后加be
【解析】后加be 情态动词后用动词原形,而nice为形 容词,因此其前缺少be动词,故在should后加be。
9. I should not have laughed if I have thought that you were serious.
【答案】have→had
句意:如果我(当时)认为你是认真的, 我就不会笑了。主句中谓语动词使用“should not have laughed”,表明与过去的事实相反,从句谓语动词应该使用 had done形式。
10. I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being is stricken blind and deaf for a few of days at some time during his early adult life.
【答案】is→were
【解析】根据“would be”的提示可知,本处是一个if虚拟条件句,与现在事实相反,故用一般过去时,be常用were。
四、单句翻译(虚拟语气情态动词)
1. 我可以来参加你的派对,可Alice不行,她要去参加一个会议。
【答案】I can come to your party, but Alice can’t; she’s got to go to a meeting.
【解析】can表示“能力”时,它的否定式表示客观上或主观上没有这种能力。
2. 你本应该早五分钟来的。
【答案】You should have come here five minutes earlier.
【解析】“should+have+过去分词”这一结构表示过去该做而实际上未做的行为动作,意思是“本应该”。其否定式为“should not+have+过去分词”,表示不应该发生的行为,意思是“本不应该”。其同义结构为“ought to+have+过去分词”,表示过去“早应该”、“本当”之意,语气较强。
3. 医生强制她要在床上躺几天。(含宾语从句)
【答案】The doctor ordered that she (should) stay in bed for a few days.
4. 我们每天清理房间很必要。
【答案】It is necessary that we should clean the room every day.
