二．单元语法测试
【答案】
1．D
【详解】
考查虚拟语气。句意：我在聚会上没看见你妹妹。如果她来了，她就会见到我弟弟了。题干是：我在会议上没看到你姐姐，故你姐姐没来。因此如果“她来了”与事实相反，前面一句交代了虚拟语气的时态是一般过去时的虚拟，所以if从句中用had+过去分词。故选D。
【点睛】
if引导虚拟语气
1. 表示与现在事实相反的情况，其句型为“ if+ 主语 + 动词的过去式（ be 动词用 were ），主语 +would / could / might / should + 动词原形”。如：
If the weather were fine, we would go to Shanghai.如果天气好，我们就去上海。（事实上天气不好）
If they had time, they would / could / might go with me.如果他们有时间，他们就会（可能）和我一起去。
2. 表示与过去事实相反的情况。其句型为“ if + 主语 + 动词的过去完成式，主语 +would / could / should / might + have + 动词的过去分词”。如：
If I had taken his advice, I shouldn't / wouldn't / couldn't have made such a mistake.
如果我按照他的建议去做，我一定不会（不可能）犯这样的错误。
3. 表示与将来事实可能相反的假设和结果，其句型为“ if + 主语 + 动词的过去式 / should + 动词原形 / were to +动词原形，主语 +would / could / might / should + 动词原形”。如：
The glass would break if you dropped it.杯子摔下来会打破的。（事实上没有摔下来）
If it should rain, the crops would / could / might be saved.假如天下雨，庄稼就一定（有可能）会得救。
2．C
【解析】
考查错综时间虚拟条件句。句意：你怎么又失败了？如果我是你，第一次就通过了。此处是虚拟语气，从句表示与现在事实相反，省略了if；根据the first time可知，主句表示与过去事实相反，动词用would have +过去分词，故选C。
【名师点睛】
虚拟条件句中，主、从句的动作若不是同时发生时，要区别对待。从句表示与过去事实相反，用过去完成时；如果表示与现在事实相反，则用一般过去时。而主句的动作如果与过去事实不符，则用would have done结构；如果与与现在或现在正在发生的事实不符，则用would do或would be (doing)。如
①从句的动作与过去事实相反，而主句的动作与现在或现在正在发生的事实不符。如：
If I had worked hard at school, I would be an engineer, too. 如果我在学校学习刻苦的话，我现在也会是工程师了。
此处从句指与过去事实相反，当初没有努力学习，主句和现在事实相反，指现在就是工程师了。
②从句的动作与现在事实相反，而主句的动作与过去事实不符。如：
If he knew her, he would have greeted her. 要是他认识她的话，他肯定会去问候她了。
从句现在事实是他不认识她，主句与过去事实相反，指他没去问候。
③从句的动作与过去发生的情况相反，而主句的动作与现在正在发生的情况相反。如：
If it had not been raining too much, the crops would be growing much better. 如果天不下太多的雨的话，庄稼会长得更好。
从句与过去相反，指今年下雨很多，主句与现在情况相反，指庄稼没有长好。
本题是第二种用法，从句与现在事实相反省略了if，根据the first time可知，主句和过去事实相反，动词用would have +过去分词。
3．C
【解析】
考查强调句和虚拟语气。句意：是习近平主席在4月19号参观了海军，要求加强海军力量。本句是强调句，基本结构是：It is/was+强调部分+who/that+其余部分。urge后加宾语从句，从句用虚拟语气，即谓语动词用（should）+动词原形，此处省略了should，故选C。
【名师点睛】
在表示建议、命令、要求、忠告等动词的后面的宾语从句中要用虚拟语气，由于这些动词本身隐含说话者的主观意见，认为某事应该应不应该怎么样，这些词语后面的that从句应用虚拟语气，且均以“should+动词原形”表示这种语气，但事实上should常被省略，故此句中谓语动词用原形，常用的此类动词有：
1. wish后的宾语从句
2. 表示“坚持”insist后的宾语从句
3. 表示“命令”order、command后的宾语从句
4. 表示“建议”advise、suggest、propose、recommend后的宾语从句
5. 表示“要求”ask、demand、require、request后的宾语从句
6. 表示“投票”vote后的宾语从句
7. 表示“安排”arrange后的宾语从句
8. 表示“希望”“打算”desire，intend后的宾语从句
9. 表示“指示”direct后的宾语从句
4．B
【详解】
考查虚拟语气。句意：——你认为这家健身俱乐部怎么样？——我宁愿没有参加这个俱乐部。我感觉这个俱乐部的管理越来越差了。本句是对过去的情况的虚拟。would rather后面所带的从句一般用虚拟语气，如果“宁愿过去做过某事”，从句要用过去完成时，根据语境可知，是说“宁愿过去没有参加过”，故要用过去完成时，因此选B。
【点睛】
would rather 后接句子时，句子谓语习惯上要用虚拟语气。与过去事实相反的用过去完成时；与现在事实相反的用一般过去时。
1、如果从句用一般过去时表示现在或将来的愿望。
I’d rather you went tomorrow (now). 我宁愿你明天(现在)去。
I’d rather you came next Saturday. 我宁愿你下星期六来。
I’d rather she sat next to me. 我宁愿她挨着我坐。
2、从句用过去完成时表过去的愿望。
I’d rather you hadn’t said it. 我真希望你没有这样说过。
I’d rather you hadn’t done that. 我宁愿你没这样做。
I’d rather you had been been present。我 (宁) 愿你当时在场。
5．C
【详解】
考查虚拟语气。句意：真遗憾！你错过了这次观光，否则，我们本应该在一起度过一段愉快时光的。根据上文可知，是对过去事情的虚拟，是与过去事实相反的假设。其句子结构为：从句：If+主语+过去完成时+其他，主句：主语+should(would, could, might)+现在完成时+其他，故选C。
6．B
【解析】
【详解】
考查if从句的虚拟语气。句意：要不是那位坏脾气的女士，公共汽车是不会掉进河里的。此处是if引导的虚拟语气，与过去的事实相反，从句用过去完成时态，从句中有had则if省略，把助动词had提到主语前面，故选B。
【点睛】
If条件状语从句的虚拟语气：
1.表示与现在事实相反的情况
从句：If+主语+动词一般过去时(Be动词用were)；主句：主语+ should/would/might/could+do.如If I were you，I would take an umbrella.如果我是你，我会带把伞。（事实：我不可能是你）
2.表示与过去事实相反的情况
从句：If+主语+had+done；主句：主语+should/would/might/could+have done.如If I had got there earlier，I should/would have met her.如果我早到那儿，我就会见到她。（事实：去晚了）
3.表示与将来事实相反
从句：①if+主语+were to do②if+主语+should+do③if+主语+动词一般过去式（be动词用were）；主句:主语+should/would/might/could+do.如 If he should come here tomorrow，I would talk to him.如果他明天来这儿的话，我就跟他谈谈。（事实：来的可能性很小，不可能）
温馨提示：if引导的虚拟语气，如果if省略，则将助动词had、情态动词should或be动词were提到主语的前面。
7．A
【解析】
【详解】
考查省略if的虚拟语气。句意：如果不是巴黎圣母院的大火，这个以收藏大量艺术珍品而闻名的教堂，我今年暑假就会去那里参观。此处是if引导的虚拟语气，if从句与过去事实相反用过去完成时态，且if省略则把助动词had提到主语的前面去。故选A。
【点睛】
If引导的虚拟语气：
1.表示与现在事实相反的情况
从句：If+主语+动词一般过去时(Be动词用were)主句：主语+ should/would/might/could+do：If I were you，I would take an umbrella.如果我是你，我会带把伞。（事实：我不可能是你）
2.表示与过去事实相反的情况
从句：If+主语+had+done主句：主语+should/would/might/could+have done：If I had got there earlier，I should/would have met her.如果我早到那儿，我就会见到她。（事实：去晚了）
3.表示与将来事实相反
从句：①if+主语+were to do②if+主语+should+do③if+主语+动词一般过去式（be动词用were）主句:主语+should/would/might/could+do:If he should come here tomorrow，I would talk to him.如果他明天来这儿的话，我就跟他谈谈。（事实：来的可能性很小，不可能）
8．C
【解析】
考查虚拟语气的用法。句意:我们都同意他的意见，去北京观光。suggestion后的同位语从句中，谓语动词要用(should+)动词原形。故C选项正确。
9．A
【解析】
考查虚拟语气。句意:如果他还是个小孩,我们可以原谅他犯的错误!根据句意和主句中的could forgive可知,从句表示与现在事实相反,故从句中的谓语动词用过去式,当虚拟条件句中的if被省略时,从句应用倒装。A项相当于If he were still a child。故选A。
10．C
【解析】
考查虚拟语气。句意:他无法抽出一些时间来度假，有时他宁愿自己没有在深圳开办这样的机构。"would rather+从句"结构意为"宁愿……"。在该结构中，从句需用虚拟语气，表示现在或将来的愿望时，从句的谓语动词需用一般过去时；表示过去的愿望时，从句的谓语动词需用过去完成时。根据句意可知，此处表示的是现在的一个愿望，故应选C。

2.【阅读理解】
【答案】
21．B22．C23．D24．A25．B
【分析】
这是一篇说明文，举例说明了如何写出优美的五行打油诗，并着重分析了每一行的写法。
21．细节理解题。由第一段“the first two rhyme, the two in the middle rhyme, and the last line rhymes with the first two lines”可知，前两个押韵，中间两个押韵，最后一行与前两行押韵。所以再结合下文举的例子可知，写五行打油诗的时候，要注意哪一行和哪一行押韵。故判断出写打油诗最应该关心的是押韵。故B选项正确。
22．细节理解题。由第二段“Pick what you would like your limerick to be about. It could be about mice, a tree, a person, or whatever”可知，选择你想要的打油诗。可能是关于老鼠，树，人，或者其他什么的。所以判断出对于五行打油诗的内容没有限制。故C选项正确。
23．推理判断题。由第四段“Your next line has to rhyme with the first line.
第五段“The third and fourth lines have to be related to the first part of your limerick, but are not with the same rhyme. ”第六段“The fifth line must rhyme with the first two lines.”可知，你的下一行必须和第一行押韵。第三和第四行必须与你的打油诗的第一部分有关，但不是押韵的。第五行必须与前两行押韵。所以，打油诗从第二行到第五行怎么写，都与第一行怎么写有直接的关系。故判断出“开始写你的第一行”最适合文本中的空白处。故D选项正确。
24．推理判断题。由倒数第二段“There once was a man who ate limes/And sampled various wines/He wouldn’t touch a tomato/It tasted too much like potatoes/And potatoes, you know, do not shine.”可知，这是最终写成的打油诗，之前作者在讲解如何写五行打油诗的时候，将这首打油诗一一进行分解以例子的形式来进行解释说明。所以判断出作者是通过列举来展开短文的。故A选项正确。
25．主旨大意题。由第二段“Pick what you would like your limerick to be about” 第三段“Start your first line. Your next line has to rhyme with the first line” 第四段“The third and fourth lines have to be related to the first part of your limerick, but are not with the same rhyme”. 第五段“The fifth line must rhyme with the first two lines. Your entire limerick would be kind of like this”可知，选一首你喜欢的打油诗，开始你的第一行。你的下一行必须与第一行押韵“第三和第四行必须与你的打油诗的第一部分相关，但不是押韵的”。第五行必须与前两行押韵。你的打油诗就像这样。所以作者通过对打油诗的内容，以及并着重分析了每一行的写法，举例说明了如何写出优美的五行打油诗。故判断出短文是围绕着“如何写五行打油诗”而展开的。故短文的最佳标题为“如何写五行打油诗”。故B选项正确。

Dear Peter
I’m glad to hear that you will come to China for further study in Peking University. When it comes to ancient Chinese poetry, what I’d like to say is that there are so many characteristics in it. For instance, they were written in special writing techniques.
It’s clear that poetic and pictorial splendor was especially paid attention to in ancient Chinese poetry. Whenever we read those poems, some characteristics appear clearly. Ancient poets were good at creating a harmonious mood and matching color and tone. In addition, they were skillfully good at dealing with the opposite relationship between dynamic and static, shape and spirit, the small and the large, which attracts many a reader to the poetry’ s beauty.
Only by personal experiences can we master the spirit of ancient Chinese poetry.
Yours,
Li Hua
