24、。点拨句中的“while keeping a secure full-time job”是状语从句的省略形式，此处省略了 I was。状语从句的省略有两种情况：(1)当从句主语和主句主语一致，且含有 be 动词时，从句可省去主语和 be 动词。如：If(you are)uncomfortable,you can go home first.如果你不舒服，你可以先回家。(2)从句的主语是 it，谓语动词是 be 动词时，从句可省去 it和 be 动词。如：When(it is)necessary,you can help us to do something.当有必要时，你可以帮助我们做一些事。

27、he did in class was nod in sleep.他上课时所做的唯一一件事就是打瞌睡。拓展 be 动词后不定式 to 的省略和“do nothing but do”句型可以互相转换。如：All she does is complain.She can do nothing but complain.她就知道抱怨。运用 完成句子The only thing _(他做的就是吃和睡)all day.He _(除了吃和睡没做别的)he did was eat and sleep did nothing but eat and sleepall day.1精彩文段采撷“Its never

32、 a great pity.We must bear in mind that wasting time is equal to wasting our life.虚拟条件句一、虚拟条件句的概念虚拟条件句表示所说的话是非真实的或者不可能发生的情况，它是一种愿望、建议或者与事实相反的假设等。虚拟情况从句谓语动词时态主句谓语动词时态与现在事实相反一般过去时(be 动词用 were)would/should/could/might动词原形与过去事实相反过去完成时would/should/could/mighthave done与将来事实相反一般过去时/were to/should动词原形would/
33、should/could/might动词原形二、虚拟条件句的种类虚拟条件句有以下三种情况：与现在事实相反；与过去事实相反；与将来事实相反。虚拟条件句的基本结构如下：其中，情态动词的选用由所表达的意义决定：would(会)表示可能；should(应该)表示义务或责任；could(能够)表示具备条件；might 表示主观可能。如：If it hadnt been so hot last summer,we couldnt have sold somany air-conditioners.要是去年夏天没那么热，我们就不可能卖那么多空调。If he had known more about what
34、 was going on,he mighthave decided what to do.要是他对将要发生的事情知道得更多，他可能就能决定做什么。If I had a camera,I would take some pictures of the beautifulscenery.要是我有一台照相机，我肯定会拍些美景的照片。If Ann were to admit it,I shouldnt quarrel with her.要是安承认，我就不应该与她争吵。1错综时间条件句(混合条件句)当主句和从句的动作发生在不同的时间，这时主、从句的谓语形式会因时间的不同而不同(应对方法：熟记虚拟条件句
35、三种情况中主从句的谓语形式的变化)。如：If you had studied hard before,you would be a college studentnow.要是你之前努力学习，现在就是一名大学生了。2if 省略句虚拟条件句中的 if 从句部分如果含有 were/should/had，可将 if 省略，再把 were/should/had 提到从句句首，变为倒装句式。如：If I were at school again,I would study harder.Were I at school again,I would study harder.要是我再上学，我将会更努力学习。
36、If you had come earlier,you would catch the bus.Had you come earlier,you would catch the bus.要是你早点来，就可以赶上这趟公交车了。If it should rain tomorrow,we would not go climbing.Should it rain tomorrow,we would not go climbing.要是明天下雨，我们就不去爬山。注意：若省略的条件句中的谓语动词是否定形式，则不能用动词的缩写形式。如：Were it not for the expense,I would
37、go abroad now.()Werent it for the expense,I would go abroad now.()要不是因为费用问题，我现在就出国了。3含蓄条件句含蓄条件句是指句中没有明显的虚拟条件句，而是利用其他手段来暗示虚拟条件句。这类隐含式的虚拟条件句往往都可以转化为由 if 引导的条件句。(1)由介词或介词短语暗示虚拟结构。常见的介词或介词短语有：without(没有),but for(要不是)等。如：Without electricity(If there were no electricity),human lifewould quite different to
38、day.要是没有电，人类今天的生活将会不一样。But for the meeting(If it hadnt been for the meeting),Iwould have gone to your party last night.要不是那个会议，昨晚我就去参加你的聚会了。(2)由并列连词或副词暗示虚拟结构。常见的并列连词或副词有：but,or,otherwise(要不然)等。如：I would have gone to America with my friend,but I wasstopped by my mother.要不是我妈妈阻止，我肯定和朋友去美国了。He didnt ge
39、t up earlier this morning;otherwise,he wouldhave caught the first bus.今早他要是早点起床，他肯定能赶上第一趟班车。三、其他类型的虚拟条件句1表示命令、要求、建议、坚持的动词后接的宾语从句为虚拟条件句此时，宾语从句的谓语动词要用“should动词原形”，其中 should 可省去。这样的动词有：一个坚持(insist)，两个命令(order,command)，三个建议(advise,suggest,propose)，四个要求(demand,require,request,desire)等。如：He insisted that
40、we(should)walk to there.他坚持要求我们走路去那儿。这些动词相应的名词形式后接表语从句、同位语从句时，谓语动词也用“(should)动词原形”形式。如：My advice is that you(should)practice speaking English asoften as possible.我的建议是你应该尽可能经常地练习说英语。The suggestion that education (should)be reformed isreasonable.教育必须改革这个建议是合理的。2.主语从句为虚拟条件句在句型“It is necessary/importan
41、t/impossible/natural/strange/surprising/funny/right/wrong/a pity/no wonder that 主语从句”中，从句的谓语动词要用“(should)动词原形”。如：Its important that everybody(should)know all the facts.所有人都要知道真相，这很重要。3状语从句为虚拟条件句由 as if 或 as though 引导的状语从句可以用陈述语气表示可能的或与事实相符的情况，也可以用虚拟语气表示与事实不符或与事实相反的情况。如：The teacher treats the pupil a
42、s if/though he were her own child.这位老师把学生当成自己的孩子一样对待。It looks as if/though its going to rain.天好像要下雨了。4定语从句为虚拟条件句“It is(high)time(that)”句型中，定语从句的谓语动词用过去式或“should动词原形(其中 should 不能省略)”。此句型意为“(现在)该”，用来表示提议。如：It is(high)time that you went/should go to school.是你去上学的时候了。5if only 引导的感叹句为虚拟条件句If only I were
