Question

If you ________ to his speech attentively, you should have known that his achievement was not all from good luck.

A. listenedB. would listen

C. had listenedD. would have listened

Answer

C

【解析】

试题分析：考查虚拟语气。句意：如果你认真听他的演讲了，你就应该知道他的成就不是来自好运。If条件句与过去的事实相反，应该用过去完成时，故选C。

【知识拓展】

1、对现在情况的假设：表示说话时不存在或与事实相反的情况.形式：If+主语+did,主语+should/ would /could +do.例句：If you knew english well,you would be able to talk with foreigners freely.

2、对过去情况的假设：表示与过去事实相反的情况.形式：if+主语+had done,主语+should/would /could+have done.例句：if i had not studied hard ,i might have failed in the exam.（事实是我通过考试了）

3、对将来情况的假设：表示将来实现可能性不大的情况.形式：if+主语+did/were to do /should do,主语+should /would /could do.例句:if he should change his mind ,what would we do?

if的省略：在正式文体中,有时可把虚拟条件句中的连词if省去,这时从句需要采用倒装语序,即：将were,had,should等助动词提到主语前面,主句不做任何变化.例句：should it rain tomorrow,we would staly at home.

错综时间：所谓错综时间是指主句和从句的动作不是发生在同一时间.这时,需要根据意思选用表示不同时间的虚拟语气形式.例句：if i were you ,i would have taken his advice.（从句表示现在时间,主句表示过去时间）,我要是你,就听他的忠告了.

考点：考查虚拟语气
