Without the happiness Jing brought to the family, my mother _____ for another six years.
A．shouldn’t have lived
B．wouldn’t have lived
C．wouldn’t live
D．might not live
答案：B
题目分析：考查虚拟语气。本题考查的含蓄的虚拟语气，上下文的条件是通过介词without(如果没有，要不是…)来体现的。句意：要不是Jing给这个家庭带来的快乐，我的妈妈不会又活了六年的。根据句意说明本题是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，故主句使用“情态动词+have done”的形式。Shouldn’t have done本不应该做某事，实际上却做了；与句意不符。故B正确。
点评：虚拟语气是高考每年的必考点，用法较多，平时学习应积累巩固。
