____ for your help, we would never have finished the project on time.
A. Had it not been
B. If it have not been
C. Should it not be
D. Were it not
题目解答
答案
A. Had it not been
解析
本题考查虚拟语气中省略 if 的条件状语从句的倒装结构。解题的关键在于判断句子所表达的虚拟情况的时间,并掌握相应的倒装规则。
1. 分析句子的虚拟情况
根据“we would never have finished the project on time”可知,这是对过去情况的虚拟,即假设过去没有对方的帮助,我们就不可能按时完成项目。在虚拟语气中,对过去情况进行虚拟时,条件状语从句的谓语动词要用“had + 过去分词”,主句谓语动词要用“would/could/should/might + have + 过去分词”。
2. 分析各选项
- A选项:“Had it not been”是“if it had not been”的省略倒装形式。在虚拟语气中,如果条件状语从句中有 had、should 或 were 时,可以省略 if,然后将 had、should 或 were 提前,构成倒装结构。所以“Had it not been”符合对过去情况虚拟的条件状语从句的倒装规则,该选项正确。
- B选项:“If it have not been”存在语法错误,在虚拟语气中,对过去情况虚拟时,从句应该用“had + 过去分词”,而不是“have + 过去分词”,所以该选项错误。
- C选项:“Should it not be”是“if it should not be”的省略倒装形式,“should”用于对将来情况的虚拟,而本题是对过去情况的虚拟,所以该选项错误。
- D选项:“Were it not”是“if it were not”的省略倒装形式,“were”用于对现在或将来情况的虚拟,而本题是对过去情况的虚拟,所以该选项错误。
