Answer 1

A

試題分析：考查虛擬語氣。本題是一個含蓄的條件句的，其條件是通過介詞短語but for轉(zhuǎn)換而來；根據(jù)主句后面的Now說明是與現(xiàn)在的事實相反，故使用“情態(tài)動詞+動詞原形“構成；第一空使用陳述語氣。句意：如果不是中國也受到全球經(jīng)濟危機的影響，我們就會有更低的失業(yè)率。故A正確。
點評：本題中的but for=without要不是，如果沒有…；引導虛擬語氣。虛擬語氣是高考每年的必考點，用法較多，平時學習應積累鞏固。
1. 與現(xiàn)在事實相反：Without air, man couldn't exist on the earth.沒有空氣的話，人類將不能在地球上生存。
謂語動詞：would/could/might (not) do sth.
2. 與過去事實相反：Without your help, I would have failed the exam last week.沒有你幫助的話，我上周考試可能就通不過了。
謂語動詞：would/could/might (not) have done sth.
3. 與將來事實相反：Without your ticket, I wouldn't be able to go to the concert tomorrow.要是沒有你的票的話，我明天就不能去聽音樂會了。
謂語動詞：would/could/might (not) do sth.
