Question

If it       the climate, I would stay here much longer.

A．is not for

B．had not been for

C．were not for

D．would not be for

Answer 1

C

试题分析：考查虚拟语气。句意：如果不是因为气候，我将会在这里待更久一些。与现在事实相反，if从句用过去时（be动词用were），主句用would+动词原形；与过去事实相反，if从句用过去完成时，主句用sould+have done；与将来事实相反，if从句用过去时或were to+动词原形或should+动词原形，主句用would+动词原形。根据句意和主句中的would可知，与现在事实相反，if从句用过去时，故选C。
