问题 选择题

She speaks as if she ____on the spot.

A.was

B.were

C.had been

D.is

答案

答案:B

题目分析:考查虚拟语气:在as if/as though引导的状语从句中,谓语动词多用倒退一个时间段的方式来表达虚拟语气。和现在情况相反用一般过去时,和过去时间相反用过去完成式,这题因为主句是she speaks所以是和现在相反,用一般过去时,虚拟语气中be动词用were。句意:她说话的样子好像她在现场。选B。

点评:在as if/as though引导的状语从句中用法:谓语动词多用倒退一个时间段的方式来表达虚拟语气。例如: The man speaks as if he were a foreigner./The speaker told us a lot about that country as though he had been there many times.注:as if/as though从句中不一定都要用虚拟语气。如果情况真实性、可能性很大,就要用正常时态来描绘。例如:It looks as if it is going to rain.天看起来象要下雨。(下雨的可能性很大。)
