C.dare D.need

答案　A

解析　考查情态动词。句意为：没人比他更慷慨;他有一颗金子般的心。“No one could be more generous”是否定词和比较级连用，表达最高级含义，A项could可以在否定句中表示推测，为正确答案。B项表推测，只用在肯定句中;dare和need不符合句意。

11.If he had spent more time practising speaking English before，he________able to speak it much better now. (2013·天津，14)

A.will be B.would be

C.has been D.would have been

答案　B

解析　考查虚拟语气。句意为：如果以前他花更多时间练习说英语的话，现在他英语就会说得好多了。由从句中的had spent可知从句与过去事实相反;由主句中的now可知主句与现在事实相反，故用would be。本题实际上是考查错综时间的虚拟语气。

A.wouldn’t B.shouldn’t

C.couldn’t D.mustn’t

答案　C

解析　考查情态动词的辨析。wouldn’t不会;shouldn’t不应该;couldn’t不能;mustn’t禁止。根据语境可知，他显然是“不能”入睡，根据句中的although he tried to可知这里说的是过去的事情，所以用cannot的过去式。

A.shouldn’t have enjoyed B.needn’t have enjoyed

C.wouldn’t have enjoyed D.couldn’t have enjoyed

A.was B.be

C.were D.is

解析　句意为：——你认为George已经通过驾照考试了吗?——没有。如果通过的话，昨天他就会开车来我们的大学了。本题表达的是对过去事实的假设，句子结构为：If...had done...，...would(might，could，should) have done...。

—Yeah，we would have got wet all over if we ________.(2013·重庆，29)

A.hadn’t B.haven’t

C.didn’t D.don’t

答案　A

解析　考查虚拟语气。根据第一句可知，下雨、带伞都是发生在过去的事情，故第二句“如果我们没带伞的话，全身都会淋湿的”这一情景是与过去事实相反的假设，故if条件句用过去完成时，主句用“would/should/might/could have done”。

18.I ________ use a clock to wake me up because at six o’clock each morning the train comes by my house.(2012·新课标全国，30)

A.couldn’t B.mustn’t

C.shouldn’t D.needn’t

答案　D

解析　根据后面的because引导的原因状语从句的内容可知选D项，即“因为每天早晨六点钟那列火车都经过我家，所以没有必要用闹钟来叫醒我”。couldn’t不能;mustn’t禁止;shouldn’t不应该;needn’t不必，不需要。

19.Grace doesn’t want to move to New York because she thinks if she________there，she wouldn’t be able to see her parents very often. (2012·安徽，31)

A.lives B.would live

C.has lived D.were to live

答案　D

解析　句意为：格雷斯不想搬到纽约去，因为她认为，如果她住在那里，她就不能经常看见她的父母了。这是与将来情况相反的虚拟条件句。由主句知此处是对“未来”情况的虚拟。if引导的虚拟条件句中表示与将来的事实相反时可使用过去式、“should v.”或“were to v.”的形式，故选D项。
