Question

Without your timely help, we ________ in big trouble that day.

A．would have been

B．would be

C．had been

D．were

Answer 1

A

試題分析：考查虛擬語氣。本題的虛擬語氣是通過介詞without(要不是…；如果沒有…)表現(xiàn)出來的，本句的時間狀語是that day是一個過去時的時間狀語，故使用“情態(tài)動詞+have done”的形式來表示。句意：要不是你及時的幫助，那天我們就會有大麻煩了。故A正確。
點評：without虛擬語氣的用法：
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.
