选择题
—Where are the children？The dinner's going to be completely ruined.
—I wish they ________ always late.(2011·北京)
A．weren't
B．hadn't been
C．wouldn't be
D．wouldn't have been
答案
答案：A
句意：——孩子们都到哪里去了？这顿饭就要被他们彻底破坏了。——我希望他们不要总是迟到。wish后跟that从句，从句部分采用虚拟语气，与现在事实相反的用一般过去时，与过去事实相反的用过去完成时。本题表示与现在事实相反，所以用一般过去时，故正确答案为A项。
