Had it not been for the police’s help, Peter his bicycle yesterday afternoon.
A.could not find
B.could not have found
C.didn’t find
D.hadn’t found
答案
答案:B
本句是if引导的虚拟条件句的省略,Had it not been for the police’s help="If" Peter hadn’t got the police’s help。从yesterday afternoon可知是与过去相反,主句使用would/could/should/might+have done,故选B答案。句意:要不是警察的帮助,彼得昨天下午不可能找到他的自行车.
点评:注意辨认省略if的虚拟条件句。虚拟语气的考查要注意分清是与过去,现在还是将来相反,并熟记主,从句的虚拟规则。
