—Your sister nearly _________ all her spare time to her study during the three years.
—That’s right, or she _________ the first place in her school in the College Entrance Examination.
A.devoted; wouldn’t have taken
B.spent; wouldn’t have taken
C.hadn’t devoted; hadn’t taken
D.hadn’t spent; couldn’t take
答案:A
第一空考查devote和spend的区别,由后面介词to可知是devote,而且这句话是事实,所以用过去时,第二空是虚拟语气,因为这里or相当于Your sister nearly hadn’t devoted all her spare time to her study during the three years.所以主句用wouldn’t have taken这种虚拟形式。选A。
