1、第五讲情态动词和虚拟语气1.(2019江苏卷)What a pity! You missed the sightseeing, or we _ a good time together.A.had B.will haveC.would have had D.had had答案C句意:真遗憾!你错过了观光,否则我们在一起会玩得很开心。此处是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,故用would have done结构。注意该句中的or代替if条件句表示含蓄的条件。2.(2018江苏卷)Its strange that he _ have taken the books without the owners p
2、ermission.A.would B.shouldC.could D.might答案B句意:很奇怪,他竟然未经主人的许可就拿走了那些书。should“竟然”,符合句意。3.(2017江苏卷)_ not for the support of the teachers,the student could not overcome her difficulty.A.It were B.Were itC.It was D.Was it答案B句意:要不是老师的支持,这个学生不可能克服她的困难。通过句意以及主句“could not overcome”可判断为虚拟语气,故排除C、D两项;题干无if,故为省
3、略if的倒装句,故选B。4.(2016江苏卷)If it _ for his invitation the other day,I should not be here now.A.had not been B.should not beC.were not to be D.should not have been答案A句意:如果不是他前几天邀请我,我现在就不会在这里。根据句子结构和句意可知,此处为虚拟语气,再结合时间状语the other day可知,这是对过去的行为的虚拟,故if从句要用过去完成时。5.(2015江苏卷)It might have saved me some trouble
4、 _ the schedule.A.did I know B.have I knownC.do I know D.had I known答案D句意:要是早知道时间表的话,可能会省去我一些麻烦。由句意和might have saved可知,句子用了虚拟语气。本句表示与过去事实相反的情况,故从句谓语用had known。if引导的非真实条件句中含有were,had,should时,可将它们提到主语之前,并将if省略。6.(2014江苏卷)It was sad to me that they,so poor themselves,_ bring me food.A.might B.would C.s
5、hould D.could答案C句意:他们尽管自身也很穷,竟然还给我带来了食物,这让我心里很难过。此处should表达一种出乎意料的惊讶,译为“竟然”,与前文“so poor themselves”呼应,表达说话者的情感。所谓意义判断法就是分析语境并确定应填情态动词的含义。因此熟练掌握每个情态动词的意义和用法是做题的前提。有些情态动词需要用在特定的句型中,如may表示推测时,往往用在肯定或否定句中;must表示推测时只能用于肯定句中。运用此法就是通过分析所给句子的句型特点,选用具有特定句型特点的情态动词。情态动词主要表示说话人的语气、情感或态度,所以在解答此类试题时,一定要注意说话者的语气(这
6、也是解题的难点),这就要求正确理解句子,从说话者的角度去考虑问题,结合具体的语境来分析和判断,最后确定所需情态动词是否符合特定的情感需要。有些情态动词在表达某个意义时,要与特定的人称连用,这为我们选择正确答案提供了方向。虚拟语气可以用在状语从句、名词性从句、定语从句中,在不同的从句中,虚拟语气用不同的动词形式来体现,如if非真实条件句(分三种情形),wish后的宾语从句等。所以,掌握了各类从句中虚拟语气的动词形式,就基本上掌握了虚拟语气的用法。另外,某些词、句如if it were not for/had not been for,but for.,if only.,without等,往往也要
7、采用虚拟语气。一、常考情态动词的用法1.can/could(1)表示能力。can表示现在的能力,could表示过去的能力。(2)表示请求。could不表示过去,只表示委婉、客气的语气,但回答时必须用can。(3)表示可能性。一般用在否定句及疑问句中,could也可用于肯定句。2.may/might(1)表示请求、允许。might不表示过去,仅表示语气更加委婉、客气。(2)表示可能性。表示把握性不大的推测,一般不用于疑问句中;might表示的可能性比may更小。(3)表示祝愿。may可以用来表示祝愿,但句子要用部分倒装。(4)固定用法。may/might as well do sth“不妨做某事
8、;还是做某事为好”。3.will/would(1)用于第二人称作主语的疑问句表示请求。(2)表示意志、决心或愿望。(3)表示客观上的习惯,will表示现在,would表示过去。(4)表示推测或猜想。(5)表示按规律“注定会”。4.shall(1)用在第一、三人称作主语的疑问句中,表示征求对方的意见或请示。(2)用于第二、三人称作主语的陈述句中,表示说话者命令、警告、许诺等的语气。(3)用在第三人称作主语的陈述句中,表示法律条文等的规定,意为“必须”。5.should(1)表示义务、责任、劝告或建议,意为“应该”,与ought to基本相同;should表示主观,ought to表示客观。(2)
9、表示预测,意为“应该会;按理说;想必会”。(3)表示意外、惊讶、纳闷等感情色彩,意为“竟会;到底”。6.need/dareneed意为“需要”,dare意为“敢”,二者都既可作情态动词,也可作实义动词,一般在疑问句和否定句中作情态动词用,在肯定句中作实义动词用。二、情态动词表示推测用法比较情态动词 用法 must 只能用于肯定句中,意为“一定,必定”。can/could 用于疑问句中,意为“可能”;用于否定句中,意为“不可能”,语气很强烈。may/might 用于肯定句中,表示不十分肯定的推测,意为“有可能”;用于否定句中,意为“可能不”,表示一种不太确定的语气。典例1You _ feel a
10、ll the training a waste of time,but Im a hundred percent sure later youll be grateful you did it.A.should B.needC.shall D.may答案D句意:你可能觉得所有的训练都是浪费时间,但是我百分之百确定,你以后会为你这么做了而心存感激的。should表示推测时指“按常理应该”;need意为“需要”,常用于否定句或疑问句中;shall用于第二、三人称的陈述句,表示允诺、警告、威胁等语气;may表示推测时指“可能,或许”。由句中的but及后一分句中的a hundred percent s
11、ure可知,此处表示语气不强烈的推测,故用may。名师点津情态动词表示推测三步判断:(1)判断句子是肯定句、否定句还是疑问句。肯定句中一般用must/may/might;否定句和疑问句中一般用can/could。(2)判断句子是对什么时间的推测;表示对现在的推测用“情态动词do”;表示对过去的推测用 “情态动词have done”。(3)判断句子语气的肯定程度。must(十分肯定)may(不太肯定)could/might(可能性较小)。三、情态动词have done情态动词have done 用法must have done 过去一定做过(肯定句)can/could have done过去不可
12、能做过(否定句)过去可能做过吗?(疑问句)could have done本来能够做,但却未做(肯定句)may/mighthave done过去可能做过(肯定句)过去可能没有做过(否定句)should/oughtto have done本来应该做,但是实际上未做(肯定句)本来不应该做,而实际上做了(否定句)neednt have done没必要做而做了典例2I _ have worried before I came to the new school,for my classmates here are very friendly to me.A.mightnt B.mustntC.needn
13、t D.couldnt答案C句意:来新学校之前我本没有必要担心,我这里的同班同学对我很友好。此处表示没有必要,故用neednt。neednt have done本没必要做。mightnt have done可能没做过;没有mustnt have done这一用法;couldnt have done不可能做过。四、虚拟语气在条件句中的应用与现在事实相反 从句谓语动词:过去时(be用were)主句谓语动词:should/would/could/mightdo与过去事实相反从句谓语动词:had过去分词主句谓语动词:should/would/could/mighthave done与将来事实相反从句谓
14、语动词:过去时/wereto do/shoulddo主句谓语动词:should/would/could/mightdoif引导的条件从句的倒装如果在表示虚拟语气的条件句中含有were,had或should,可将if省略,然后将were,had或should移至主语之前。混合条件句的虚拟语气有时条件句的动作与主句动作发生的时间不一致,这时动词的形式应根据它们表示的时间加以调整。含蓄虚拟结构有时假设的情况并不以条件从句表示,而是由otherwise,but,or,without,but for等来引导。典例3If I _ it with my own eyes,I wouldnt have bel
15、ieved it.A.didnt see B.werent seeingC.wouldnt see D.hadnt seen答案D句意:如果我没亲眼看到,我不会相信那件事的。根据主句I wouldnt have believed it可知,空格处所在句是用了与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,从句应用过去完成时态,所以答案为D。五、虚拟语气在其他情况中的应用类别 用法 名词性从句在表示要求,命令,建议,请求等意义的词后接宾语从句、同位语从句以及表语从句中的谓语动词用“(should)动词原形”。常见的动词:suggest,advise,order,require,demand,propose,comma
16、nd,request,insist,recommend,以及这些词的名词形式。注意:当suggest作“暗示,表明”,insist作“坚持认为”讲时,从句要用陈述语气。wish后的宾语从句中的谓语可用一般过去时、过去完成时和“should/would动词原形”,它们分别表示与现在、过去和将来的情况相反。其他句型It is (high/about) time (that).句型中谓语动词用一般过去时或“should动词原形”(should不可省略)。would rather所接的从句中的谓语动词用一般过去时(对现在虚拟)或者过去完成时(对过去虚拟)。if only后面的谓语动词常用一般过去时(对
17、现在虚拟)、过去完成时(对过去虚拟)与过去将来时(对将来虚拟),表示强烈的愿望。as if/as though引导的方式状语从句中的谓语动词用一般过去时(与现在的事实相反)、过去完成时(与过去的事实相反)、could/might/would动词原形(与将来事实相反)。典例4If the new safety system _ to use, the accident would never have happened.(2017北京卷)A.had been put B.were putC.should be put D.would be put答案A句意:如果新的安全系统投入使用的话,这起事故
18、就不会发生了。由主句谓语动词would never have happened可以推断,这是与过去事实相反的假设,因此从句中应当用过去完成时。因此答案为A。1.(2019无锡一中高三模拟)If it had not been for the heroes contributions and sacrifices, we _ such a happy life.A.wouldnt have led B.wouldnt be leadingC.havent led D.are not leading答案 B句意:要不是英雄们的奉献和牺牲,我们如今不会过上如此幸福的生活。这是一个错综时间虚拟条件句,
19、从句与过去的事实相反,主句与现在的事实相反。与现在事实相反的假设,其主句的句子结构为:主语would(should, could, might)动词原形其他,主句时态为现在时,而且是正在进行中,故选B。2.(2019南京市高三四校联考)_ you need any help, feel free to contact me.Thank you for your kindness.A.May B.WillC.Shall D.Should答案D句意:如果你需要帮助,请随时与我联系。谢谢你的好意。其实此处是省略if的虚拟条件句,if引导的虚拟条件句,如果省略if则将助动词should提前。故选D。3
