It’s（high/about） time后所接从句中，从句谓语动词常用过去式形式。 18. 问句中情态动词could表示委婉客气。 19. 题意为“他们竟然对此事一无所知，真令人奇怪”。“It’s strange, possible...+that从句”的句型中，从句谓语常用should+动词原形。 20. can/could have done表示对过去发生情况的可能性推测，常用于否定句或疑问句中。 21. must be doing表示对现在正发生情况的肯定推测。 22. suggest, order, demand, request等表示“建议或命令等”的动词后接宾语从句，从句谓语常用（should）+动词原形。 23. if only但愿。如果表示现在的愿望，句中谓语动词常用过去式；如果表示将来的愿望，句中谓语动词常用would/could+动词原形；如果表示过去的愿望，句中谓语动词常用had+过去分词。 24. will表示“愿意”。 25. mustn’t表示“禁止”。 26. 表示与现在的事实相反，从句用一般过去时，主句谓语常用would/could/should/might+动词原形。 27. had it been possible=if it had been possible。but后分句是描述当时的事实，故用一般过去时态。 28. at no time（在任何时候都不）位于句首时，句子应用部分倒装语序。should应该。 29. 此处用can表示“一时之可能”。 31. The door won’t open. 这门打不开。will表示功能，可译为“能，行”。又如：Each classroom will seat 60 students. 每间教室能容纳60名学生。 32. may/might have done表示对过去发生情况的可能性推测，常用于肯定句中。 33. 题意为“在那个国家12岁以下的儿童在公共图书馆时必须（must）有成年人监护。” 34. 由judge（法官）可断定此处有强制、命令的语气，故填shall。 36. 此处意为“难道我不能（can’t）出去和汤姆玩一会儿吗？” 38. should表示很可能。 39. needn’t have done表示“本来不需要做某事而事实上已经做了”。 40. must be表示对现在发生情况的肯定推测。 |
