　   考试马上就要开始了，最后一个月请同学们务必把时间用在刀刃上，做到事半功倍，应该把大部分时间放在得分最高的两大块上，即听力和阅读上。
　　对于阅读部分的复习，如何在这很短的时间内达到最佳效果呢？最近也有同学经常问今年四级阅读会不会比去年难，会不会快速阅读不考Y，N，NG，其实试题的难易，或题目形式的变换不只是对某人而言的，所以试题的难度并不影响我们最终能否通过考试的结果。在这剩下的一个月左右的时间里，我认为大家应该在以下几个方面做好准备：
　　心理因素：考试快到了，而且和期末考试碰在一起，会感觉有好多单词还没有背，好多真题还没有做，听力又不好，阅读错误率太高，所以极易一下乱了阵脚，有紧迫感，越到后面压力越大，其实大可不必，因为广大考生只是要求通过或考个中上的考分，并不要求自己考满分。所以在最后一个月左右的时间把该背的单词争取背到七八层熟，把好的真题
　　考场时间：四级阅读有快速和选词填空，以及两篇传统阅读。平时做题时可以不限时间，仔细阅读分析每篇文章每道题目的解题思路，各选项的正误原因以及文章具体结构，但是快到考试的前两个礼拜，最好把时间固定在考试要求的时间范围内把题目做完，让自己适应考场速度要求。但是，实际上广大考生都会觉得阅读时间是最紧张的，表面上15分钟快速阅读和25分钟精读，但是时间最后都不够用，所以最好在考场上把握整体政策，对于没有把握的其它部分要采取“丢卒保车”的精神，把时间挪到阅读部分来，因为阅读的分值太高，不容忽视。
　　词汇部分：就算到了最后一个礼拜，大家也不要破罐子破甩，要把大纲中的单词好好背，把曾经记过的单词短语认真看，阅读成败在单词，考前记单词也能临时抱佛脚的。这里再强调一下“相似易混单词”的重要性，不要看错了自己背过的单词，这样是很冤枉的，而且“相似易混单词”一定要把写法背清楚背牢固，这就是广大考生感觉很多单词好像认识又不认识的根本原因。高中基础不差的同学会发现其实四级单词多不了多少单词，好好多背1000左右的单词用不了多长时间。
　　传统阅读：仔细阅读是我们最熟悉的题型， 这些文章只要能把握好正确的解体思路，找好题干或选项中的关键词，抓住题目问题逻辑，就能定位到文章出处和正确答案。
　　猜词题强调的是上下文原则，
　　细节题强调的是关键词定位，
　　推理题强调的是“一切从原文事实出发”，勿合理推理，推理过度。
　　主题题强调的是抓住文章首段或其它段落的段首尾句。
　　标题题强调的是不要扩大或缩小主题范围。
　　态度题强调的是分清褒贬，贬义词是错误的。
　　例子题强调的是要支持文章主题。
　　当然通过课堂中说的一些蒙答案的方法，也可以在自己不确定的情况下提高自己做题准确度。大学英语常见结构
all but –
1." all but十形容词（或用在谓语动词前）"= very nearly；almost几乎，差不多；
2."all but+名词"= all except "除……外都"：Crows all but destroyed a farmer's field of corn.群鸦几乎吃光了一位农夫的玉米地。
all but John were present．除约翰外，其他人都到了。（注：all but作"几乎"解时可修饰作表语的形容词或过去分词；也可作状语修饰谓语动词。）
for all
　for all--- in spite of "尽管"：For all his money，he was very unhappy．尽管他有不少钱，但他并不很幸福。
Alternative
　alternative n．----"选择，替代办法"，注意下面成语的习惯用法："have no alternative but to do""没有别的选择，只好"：There's no alternative but to fight．"除了战斗以外，没有别的选择"。 I had no alternative but to walk out．我没有别的办法，只有走出去。
anything but
　anything but - not at all；far from"根本不，一点不"，作表语，but后面可以跟名词、形容词或过去分词：He's anything but lazy/a hero. 他一点不懒/根本不是个英雄。
 Alone as he is,he felt anything but lonely.译文：虽然只有他一个人，但是他一点也不感到寂寞。）
 
as（四级考试频度很大的几个用法）
 1.引导让步状语从句（通常可以用though替换），使用下面句型：1）"形容词／副词十as＋主语十谓语：Much as like her，I will not marry her．虽然我很喜欢她，但我并不想与她结婚。
2）"原形动词十as十主语十may／might／will／would"：Try as he would，he could not lift the rock．不管他用多大劲也举不起那块石头。There was not a soul to be found in the house，search as they would．不管他们怎么寻找，房子里也找不到一个人。

　　3．用在"as＋be动词十表语"从句中，表不"正如"：He is absent，as is often the case．他正如通常那样又缺席了。Freddie，as might be expected，was attending the conference．正如可能预料的那样，弗雷迪当时正在出席会议。As was expected，he performed the task with success．正如预料的那样，他成功地完成了任务。 ______ is known to the world，Mark Twain is a great American writer. a．That b．Which c．As d．It（答案 c．译文：正如世人所知，马克?吐温是一位伟大的美国作家。 _____ is generally accepted，economical growth is determined by the smooth development of production．a．What b．That c．It d．As（答案d．考研'95．译文：正如所公认的那样，经济增长是由生产的平 稳发展所决定的。）（注：as在这一句型中是连词还是关系代词也存在着争议，它在结构上更接近关系代词，但as与that／which不同，that／which引导的关系从句只能放在先行词后面，而as引导的从句不但可以放在主句的后面，还可以放在主句的前面。）
　　4．as用于省略句，为避免重复，as代替表语或宾语部分：David is tall，as are my brothers．像我的几个弟兄们一样，戴维也是个高个儿。（as are my brothers用的是倒装语序，正常语序应是 as my brothers are。）The Second World War，as did the earlier one of 1914，prompted public concern about a physical and Intellectual well－being of the country's human resources．第二次世界大战，正如早些时候1914年的那次一样，立即引起了公众对这个国家人力资源的身心健康的关注。

　　7．用于 as if/as though引导的省略句中：He paused as if expecting Lenny to speak．（as if后面跟现在分词）他停了一下，好象是在等待拉尼讲话一样。The boy turned， as if awakened from some dream。（后面跟过去分词）那男孩翻了翻身，好像从梦中醒来一样。He opened his mouth as if to speak something．（后面跟不定式）他张张口，好像要说些什么。He glanced as if in search of something．（后面跟介词短语）他瞟了一眼，好像在寻找什么东西一样。
　　8．用在"just as…，so…"结构中：Just as the soil is a part of the earth，＿_ the atmosphere． a．as it is b．the same is c．so is d．and so is（答案 c．．译文：正如土壤是地球的一部分一样，大气层也是地球的一部分。）（so is the atmosphere是倒装句。在"just as…，so…"句式中，so引导的主句常用倒装语序，尤其在主语特别长时更是如此，so代替被省略了的表语部分。）Just as the builder is skilled in the handling of his bricks， ______ the experienced writer is skilled in the handling of his words．a．so b．as c．thus d．like（答案 a．．译文：正如建筑工人砌砖郁闲熟的技艺一样，有经验的作家在用词做文章上也有高超的技艺。）

choice

do nothing else than (do)
　do nothing else than (do) ---- 注意：do nothing后面用了else后就要用than而不再用but, 但than后面同样用不带to的不定式：He sat there, doing nothing else ______. a. but to laugh b. than laughing c. than laugh d. but laughed （答案c. 译文：他坐在那里一个劲地笑。）但注意下面这个句子：He had nothing else to do except to return/than to return to his hot room..他没有别的办法，只好回到自己酷热的房间。（这个句子中的不定式 to do和to return做 nothing else的定语．）
either…or
 
　either…or ----"或是……或是……；不是……就是…"。由选择连词either…or引导的名词作主语时，谓语动词的人称和数要与or后面的名词保持一致。either…or还可以引导并列名词或介词短语作宾语，引导并列谓语或表语，引导并列状语或定语，引导并列分句。该结构的关键是由它们引导的两个部分必须并列处于同一层次上：Either Tim or his brothers have to shovel the snow．要么蒂姆，要么他的兄弟们，必须铲雪。The local hunters either shoot or trap them．当地的猎人或者枪杀它们，或者设陷捕捉它们。Either you must improve your work or shall dismiss you．要么改进你的工作，否则我就解雇你。I was advised _____ for reservations． a．to either telephone or to write the hotel． b. either to telephone or to write the hotel c. that I should telephone or to write the hotel d.

find
　find ----- find后面可以跟带现在分词、过去分词、形容词或不定式 to be的复合结构作宾语；如果是不定式本身作宾语，要把不定式后移，用形式宾语 it填补其位置：He was found dying／dead／injured．人们发现他快死了／已经死了／受了伤。We found（him to be／that he was）the right man for the job．我们发现他是做这项工作的合适人选。I found to answer all the questions within the time given． a. no possibility b．there was impossibility c. impossible d. it impossible（答案d．译文：我发现在限定的时间内回答所有那些问题是不可能的。）
for
　for ---- 1．"for all""尽管"：all our kindness to help her，Sara refused to listen to us． a. At b. For c. In d. On（答案b．考研'92．译文：尽管我们好心要帮助她，但萨拉不肯听我们的。）There may be mistakes occasionally，but for all that，it is the best book on the subject．书中也许偶而有些错误，但尽管如此它仍不失为论述这个问题的最好的书。
　　2．"but for"／"if it weren't for""若不是，若没有"（用在虚拟语气中）：But for your help we should not have finished in time．若没有你的帮助，我们就不能按时完成。Had it not been for your laziness，you could have finished the assignment by now．要不是你懒，你现在可能会完成任务了。（注：在这个句式中，按正常语序谓语可以用缩合形式计 it weren't for或 if it hadn't been for，但若使用倒装语序时，不能将缩合的 weren't／hadn't放在句首，如不能说 Weren't it for／Hadn't it been for，而必须说 Were it not for／had it not been for．）
　　3．for作连词，表示"因为，由于"，多用于书面语中，引导的从句不能放在主句前面，它引导的原因只是对主句所说的情况作出解释：Someone must have left the tap on，the water is running over and flooding the bathroom．a．therefore b．for c．nevertheless d． moreover（答案b．．译文：一定是谁忘记了关水龙头，瞧，水溢了出来，洗澡间到处是水。）
　　4．for用在带逻辑主语的不定式的结构中一for there to be／for it to be：It would be surprising for any objections to the proposal. a．not to be b．it not to be c．there to be not d．there not to be（答案 d．译文：对这项建议若没有任何反对, 那反倒是奇怪的。）For there ______ successful communication，here must be attentiveness and involvement in the discussion itself by all present．a．is b．to be c．will be d. being（答案 b．考研'96．译文：为了进行成功的思想交流，所有出席的人都必须聚精会神地参加讨论。）（注：在there be句型中，虽然真正的主语是后面的名词，但在语法结构上习惯上把there看作结构主语，所以用介词 for引导带逻辑主语的不定式时要把there看作逻辑主语，因此把there is变为带逻辑主语的不定式时应说 for there to be，这和把 I do sth变为不定式时应说 for me to do sth的道理是一样的。在这个句式中还要注意如何把 It is time变为由 for引导的不定式。如果要说"现在该吃药了"，用英语应说 It is time to take medicine。但如果要说"他在等到该吃药的时间再吃药"，就应说 He is waiting for it to be time to take medicine。）
given（that）
　given（that）一"在有……的情况下；如果有……；假定……；考虑到……"：Given good health，I hope to finish the work this year．如果健康状况良好，我希望今年完成这项工作。I'd come and see you in Austria，given the chance．如果有机会，我就到奥地利来看你。Given their inexperience／that they are inexperienced，they've done a good job．考虑到他们缺乏经验，他们的工作还是做得不错的。
good/point/sense/use
　good/point/sense/use ----注意这几个名词在下面句型中的用法："It is no good -ing"表示"……没有用处"：It's no good my arguing with you．和你争论没有用。There is no good in -ing； What's the good of-ing？
have
　have十复合结构 ---- have sb do sth；have sb／sth－lug；have sth done（have的这种用法考试频度也很大）：They'11 have you if you don't pay your taxes．a．to be arrested b． arrest c．arrested d．being arrested（答案 c．．译文：如果你不纳税，他们将要逮捕你。）I didn't understand what the teacher said，and had him explain it again to me．我不懂老师说的意思，我又让他给我解释了一遍。
in that…
　in that… ----此为复合连词，相当于 because引导的原因状语从句，考试频度极大，在四六级和考研试题中几乎每年都有一题，如 1995年三个试题中均考了该题：Liquids are like solids _____ they have a definite volume．a．with that b．for that c．in that d．at that（答案c。 ．译文：液体与固体一样，它们也有确定的体积。）Britain's press is unusual _____ it is divided into two very different types of newspaper：the quality press and the popular press． a．in how b．in what c．in which d．in that（答案 d．．译文：英国报纸很不寻常，因为它分为截然不同的两大类：严肃报纸和通俗报纸。）Hydrogen is the fundamental element of the universe ______ it provides the building blocks from which the other elements are produced.a．so that b．but that c．in that d．provided that（答案c．．译文：氢是宇宙间最基本的元素，因为它提供生成其它元素的建筑模块。）

know better than（to do）
　know better than（to do） ----be wise or experienced enough not to do sth很懂得……不会……／不该（做某事）（根据张道真教授的（现代英语用法词典）的解释，than后面的不定式多带to，但有时可以省略）：You ought to know better than to stay away from school.你应懂得不该逃学．He knew better than to mention the subject to her．他很明智而没有向她提起这件事。Tom _____ better than to ask Dick for help．a．shall know b．shouldn't know c．has known d．should have known（答案 d．．译文：汤姆应懂得不该向迪克请求帮助。）
less
less ----用在下面成语中：even／much／still less"更不用说，更别提"（用在否定的陈述句之后）：The baby can't even walk，much less run．那婴儿连走路都不会，更别说跑了。I can't run a hundred yards，even less a mile．我连一百码都跑不了，更别说跑一英里了。He knows little of mathematics，and of chemistry． a．even more b．still less c．no less d．still more（答案b．．译文：他对数学几乎一窃不通，更别提化学了。）
30、lest ----"唯恐，免得"（从句谓语多用 should，有时可用动词原形）：They spoke in whispers lest they should be heard．他们低声交谈，生怕别人听见了。The driver looked over the engine carefully lest it should go wrong on the way．司机认真地检查了一遍发动机，免得半路上出毛病。
let alone
let alone ----"更别提"（多用于否定句之后，与 even／much／still less的用法基本相同）：I had never seen him, let alone spoken to him.我从未见过他，更谈不上同他谈话了。The baby can't even walk, let alone run.那婴儿连走路都不会，更谈不上跑了。（注：let alone后面可以跟名词、动词不定式或分词，这取决于它所要强调的部分与前一句中所要对比的那一部分的语法结构，它们必须处于同一语法结构层次。）
most
most----most可以直接修饰可数名词复数，名词前不用冠词修饰，表示泛指，如 most students"大多数学生"；如果要特指某些学生中的大多数，就要用most of结构，并且名词前面一般要用定冠词修饰，如most of the students in my class；注意这样用时，most前面没有冠词，不说 the most of the students。另外，most不能直接与代词或由物主代词修饰的名词连用，不能说most they／most their students或 their most students；而必须用，most of结构，像 most of them，most of her arguments。
some/any
some/any ----与 most的用法类似，可以说 some advice／students；some of the students；some of them；some of his arguments；但不说 some they，some his arguments或some the students。any也适用于这种情况。

　all／each----与 most／some／any的用法有些区别：all可以直接修饰带或不带定冠词的可数或不可数名词以及由物主代词修饰的名词，如 all（the） work； all（the）students； all my heart；但不能直接放在代词前面，如不能说 all they，all it；但可以用 all of结构限定代词，如 all ofthem; all虽不能放在代词前面修饰代词，但可以放在代词后面作代词的同位语，如We all did it; He helped us all;（但谓语是 be动词时，all要放在 be后面，如 We are all pleased。）each可以直接修饰不带冠词的可数名词单数，如 each student；但不能直接修饰代词、由物主代词或定冠词修饰的可数名词单数，如不能说 each they，each his book，each the student；而必须用 each of结构，如 each of them，each of his books，each of the students；但 each可以放在复数名词或代词后面，如 The students/They each took a share。
much
much ----much多用于否定句或疑问句中，如 There is not much food in the house。Do you have much difficulty in finding the house？在肯定句中多用plenty of，a lot of，a large quantity of，a good deal of；但当 much作主语的一部分或与how／too／so／as连用时常用在肯定句中，如 Much of what you say is true；You have given me too much。注意下面几个与much相搭配的习惯说法。
　　1.not much of a… 一 not a very good…"不是一个很好的……"：It wasn't much of a dinner．
　　2．"too much of a…（to do sth）"一"太……（而不……）'：He is _____ coward to speak the truth．a．too much of a b．too much a c．o much a d．so much of a（答案 a．．译文：他是个十足的胆小鬼，不敢讲真话。）

　　6．"not so much A as B"一"与其说 A，不如说B"：Oceans don't so much divide the world as unite it．与其说各大洋把地球分割开来，还不如说是把地球联成一个整体。
　　7．"much less"一（用在否定句后）"更不用说"：I didn't even speak to him, much less discuss your problems with him.我连话都不跟他说，再不用说跟他一起讨论你的问题了。
must have done sth
must have done sth ----用于以肯定的语气推断过去必定发生了某事（常考句型）：My pain____ apparent the moment I walked into the room, for the first man I met asked sympathetically:"Are you feeling all right?" a．must be b．had been c．must have been d．had to be（答案 c．．译文：我的疼痛一定很明显，因为我遇到的第一个人就同情地问我："你不要紧吧？"）
some/any
　some/any ----与 most的用法类似，可以说 some advice／students；some of the students；some of them；some of his arguments；但不说 some they，some his arguments或some the students。any也适用于这种情况。
all／each
all／each----与 most／some／any的用法有些区别：all可以直接修饰带或不带定冠词的可数或不可数名词以及由物主代词修饰的名词，如 all（the） work； all（the）students； all my heart；但不能直接放在代词前面，如不能说 all they，all it；但可以用 all of结构限定代词，如 all ofthem; all虽不能放在代词前面修饰代词，但可以放在代词后面作代词的同位语，如We all did it; He helped us all;（但谓语是 be动词时，all要放在 be后面，如 We are all pleased。）each可以直接修饰不带冠词的可数名词单数，如 each student；但不能直接修饰代词、由物主代词或定冠词修饰的可数名词单数，如不能说 each they，each his book，each the student；而必须用 each of结构，如 each of them，each of his books，each of the students；但 each可以放在复数名词或代词后面，如 The students/They each took a share。

　　2."no more…than"；。"not any more than""A像B一样不……；A和B一样都不…"：He is no more a god than we are．（或）He is not a god any more than we are．他和我们一样都不是神。（注：这种表现法是为加强than前面的否定而用的，than后面的文句表面上看是肯定句，起含义实属否定。一般说来，than后面的文句所陈述的事实是显而易见的或是常识，以此来衬托说明前面亦染。）再如：He can not effect the impossible any more than we can．不可能的事情我们做不到，他和我们一样也做不到。The heart is intelligent than the stomach，for they are both controlled by the brain．a．not so b．not much c．much more d．no more（答案 d．考研'94．译文：心脏和胃一样都没有智力，它们都是由大脑控制的。）与 no more… than意思相反的结构是 no less…than"不亚于，与……同样好"：Sunlight is ______ necessary than fresh air to a healthy condition of body．a．less b．no less much d．no more（答案 b．译文：阳光与新鲜空气一样对维持身体健康同样必要。）

CET-6'93/6.)(注：如果would rather只涉及主语的选择或爱好时，后面可直接跟动词原形或不定式完成式；than前后连接的两个成分要对等，可以是不定式或名词；would rather后面动词的施动者若不是句子主语本身而是另一个人时，后面需用从句，从句谓语用虚拟语气，即用一般过去时表示与现在的事实相反或很难实现的愿望；用过去完成时表示与已经发生的事实相反的愿望。在托福考试中，从句谓语还可以用动词原形，用动词原形仅仅表示一种愿望，如：We would rather that he take this train．我们倒希望他乘这趟火车走。)
　　2．"rather than"或"rather…than""是……而不是……；应……而不应……;宁愿……而不愿……：He resigned rather than take part in such a dishonest transaction．He ran rather walked．This is rather for father to decide than for you．We are taught that a business letter should be written in a formal style in a personal style． a．rather than b．other than c．better than d．less than（答案 a．．）Nuclear science should be developed to benefit the people _____ harm them.

say
say（vt.）---- l．"sb／sth is said to have done sth"＝It's said that sb/sth has done sth or did sth."据说某人／某物做了某事"（注："be said to十不定式完成式"表示这个动作在谓语动词的动作发生之前已经完成，不定式完成也可以用被动态。这是常考句型。）：The building is said _____ (destroy) in a fire two years ago.（考研'81．答案：由时间状语 two years ago可以判定destroy的动作发生在谓语动作之前，又由于大楼是被烧毁的，所以应用不定式完成式被动态，因此应把destroy变为 to have been destroyed）
2．"to say nothing of"---（用在肯定句后）"更不用说，还不说"：The effort required is immense，to say nothing of the cost．要求付出的努力是巨大的，更不用说花费了。

虚拟语气的用法：   
  句子谓语需用动词原形的情况   
  从句谓语需用过去时或过去完成时的情况   
  虚拟条件句(或叫非真实条件句)
 虚拟语气考试的频度非常大。虚拟语气主要分为两大类：谓语使用动词原形的情况及使用过去时或过去 完成时的情况。
　1．句子谓语需用动词原形的情况
　　　1）英语中有些表示愿望、建议、命令、要求的动词的宾语从句的谓语需用
should十动词原形， 美国英语多用动词原形，英国英语可用动词原形或用 should十动词原形两种形式。
这些常用动词包括：suggest，propose，recommend，order，demand command request，require，insist，desire，ask，
urge，advise，move（提动议），prefer，determine，resolve，decide，vote，arrange.

a．not be started b．will not be started
c．Is not started d．Is not to be started （答案a.．）
　　(9)It was arranged that they leave the following week．
　　(10) It is。quested．that John（should）give a performance at the party．
　　与这些动词同源的名词的同位语从句或表语从句的谓语动词也需用虚拟语气。
与这些动词相应的名词有： suggestion／proposal／recommendation／order／demand／
request／requirement／insistence／desire／ advice／motion（动 议）／determination／

在 It is十形容词十 that从句结构中，从句谓语需用虚拟式。
这些常用的形容词有：necessary／important／vital／essential／

2．从句谓语需用过去时或过去完成时的情况
1）从句谓语用一般过去时的情况。
　　（1）It is（high）time sb did／was doing sth．
在这个句式中，从句谓语只能用一般过去时或过去进行时。见下例：
　　(1)It's time you went to bed．
　　(2)It's time we were setting out．Its time they were taught a lesson．

　　(2)I would just as soon you didn't go there．
　　2）从句谓语可用一般过去时和过去完成时。
　　（1）wish
　　　wish表示的愿望往往与现在或过去的事实相反，或者是很难实现的愿望，因此其宾语从句的谓语要求用虚拟语气，有以下三种情况：
　　　若表示的愿望与说话时存在的事实相反，宾语从句谓语用一般过去时，be动词多用were.
　　　若表示的愿望是指未来，宾语从句谓语多用could/would/might do/be。
　　　若表示的愿望与过去事实相反，或与已经发生的事实相反，宾语从句谓语需用过去完成时或could／would have done／been。（注意：不管 wish用一般现在时或过去时，上述规则不变。）见下例：

　　（2）would rather that…
　　would rather后面引导宾语从句的that不可省略。根据所要表达的不同意思，从句谓语可用一般过去时、过去完成时，还可用动词原形。用一般过去时，表达与现在事实相反的愿望；用过去完成时表达与过去事实相反的愿望；用动词原形仅仅表示主句主语希望从句主语做某事的愿望。见下例：
　　(1)Henry would rather that his girl friend worked in the same department as he does．（事实是他的女朋友在另一个部门工作。）
　　(2)Tom would rather that Jack had gone to class yesterday.（事实是杰克昨天没去上课。）
　　(3)We would rather that he take this train．（希望他乘坐这趟火车。）
　　（注：根据多年我国各种测试的情况看，似乎只考宾语从句谓语用一般过去时的情况，而且在没有给出上下文的情况下，把用动词原形视为错误）见下例：
　　(4)I'd rather you _____ those important documents with you．
　　　a. not take b. don't take c. won't take d. didn't take（要求选d为正确答案）
　　（3）if only／Oh，that…！（表达一种强烈的愿望，用法同wish）见下例：
　　(1)If only he knew how we miss him！
　　(2)If could only see him once!
　　(3)Look at the terrible situation I am in! If only I _____ your advice!
　　　a．follow b．had followed c. would follow d．have followed（答案 b．）
　　(4)Oh that could fly！
　　（4）as if/as though
　　如果表达的是与现在事实相反的情况，谓语用一般过去时；如果表达的是与过去事实相反的情况，谓语用过去完成时，而不管主句谓语用一般现在时或过去时。见下例：
　　(1)It seems as if it was/were spring already.
　　(2)They talked／are talking as if they had been friends for years．
　　（注：需要指出的是，并非所有由as if/as though引导的从句谓语均要用虚拟语气。如果 as if从句表达的意思是根据当时的事实或已经表现出的迹象判断是很可能已经发生或即将发生的事情，从句谓语就用陈述语气，根据句意从句谓语可用一般现在时、现在完成时或将来时。）见下例：
　　(1)It looks as if it's going to rain．（有可能下雨）
　　(2)He talks as if he has known everything．
　　(3)It tastes as if it is made of chocolate．
3．虚拟条件句（或叫非真实条件句）　　如果条件句所表达的是纯然假设的情况或是与事实完全相反的假设，或是发生的可能性极小，就称为虚拟条件句（或叫非真实条件句），分为下面三种情况：
虚拟将来：（从句）if…should/were to…，（主句）…would/could/might/should do/be
虚拟现在：（从句）if…did/were…，（主句）…would/could/might/should do/be
虚拟过去：（从句）if…had p．p…，（主句）…would／could／might／should have done／been
　　1）表示将来的虚拟条件句：谓语用 should十动词原形，表示以未来不太可能发生为假设；谓语也可用 were to，表示以未来绝对不会发生为假设。见下例：
　　(1)If I were to／should do it，I would do it in a different way．
　　(2)If they were to／should act like that again，we should criticize them severely．
　　2）与现在事实完全相反的假设或实现的可能性极小，从句谓语用一般过去时(be动词用were)，主句谓语用 would／could／might／should十动词原形。见下例：
　　(1)If had the time，I would certainly go．（but I don't have the time．）
　　(2)If were you，I would reconsider their proposal.（but I am not you．）
　　　（注：以suppose/supposing和what if引导的从句，若特别强调假设的条件，可用虚拟语气）
　　(3)Suppose／Supposing your mends knew how you're behaving here，what would they think？
　　(4)"We will set out tomorrow．""What if it rained？"
　　3）与过去事实完全相反的假设，从句谓语用过去完成时，主句谓语用 would／could／might十完成式。见下例：
　　(1)If I had left a little earlier，I would have caught the train．
　　(2)I could have done better if I had been more careful．
　　(3)If he hadn't been ill，he might have come．
　　4）省略if的虚拟条件倒装句：在正式书面英语中，如果条件句中包含有助动词had／should和were时，可省略if，然后把它们置于从句主语之前。见下例：
　(1)Had we made（=If we had made）adequate preparations，we might have succeeded．
　　(2)Should I go to university one day，I would study hard．
　　(3)Were it。t for（＝If it were not for）their assistance，we couldn't have got over the　difficulties.
　　5）含蓄条件句
　　英语中有时假设的情况并非用if明确地表示出来，而是通过一定的词汇、句子结构、上下文或其它方式表示出来，这称为含蓄条件句。在这种条件句中，谓语也需用虚拟语气。可以引导含蓄条件句的有以下一些词汇和结构情况：
　　(1)We could have done better under more favourable conditions（= If conditions had been more 　　　favourable）．
　　(2)This change could not have taken place without a solid industrial foundation（= If the 　　　　　industrial foundation had been weak）．
　　(3)They reaped a yield twice as much as they would have done with local strains（=If they had 　　　used local strains）．
　　(4)That would have been considered miraculous in the past（= If it had taken place in the 　　　　　past）．
　　(5)He would have helped you，but he was so busy（= If he had not been so busy）．
　　(6)I was ill that day．Otherwise（=If I had not been ill that day）I would have taken part in 　　　the parade．
　　(7)He must have had an accident， or he _____ then．
　　　a．would have been here b．had to be here c．should be here d．would be here（答案 a．／1）（or＝otherwise=if he had not had an accident）
　　(8)It was so quiet that you could have heard a pin drop.（= If a pin had dropped）
　　(9)Because we had no drugs that might have saved him，Dr．Bethune died of septicaemia（败血症　　　）．（=If we had drugs we might have saved him．）
　　(10)The computer accomplished in an hour what it would have taken 1000 men a year to do．（=If 　　　the amount of work done by the computer in an hour had been done by hand，it would have 　　　　　taken 1000 men to accomplish．）
　　(11)It would be a mistake not to help him．（=if we didn't help him）
　　(12)I wouldn't have acted as he did．（＝if were him）
　　(13)Only a fool would believe that．（＝If you believed it，you would be a fool．）
　　(14)A less brave man wouldn't have dared to work in the enemy headquarters.（=If a man had 　　　　been less brave，he wouldn't have dared to work…）
　　(15)Another person could not have done it．（=If another person had been assigned to do it，he 　　　could not have done it．）
　　(16)Anybody in his position would have done the same．
　(17)Five minutes earlier，we could have caught the last train．
　　　a. and b. but c. or d．so（答案a．）
　　　（Five minutes earlier=If we had arrived five minutes earlier）
　　(18) ______ the flood，he ship would have reached its destination on time．
　　　a．In case of b．In spite of c．Because of d．But for（答案 d．）
　　　（but for the flood=if it had not been for the flood）（注：but for还可换用but that从句）
