Question

6．--The weather has been very hot and dry．
--Yes．If it had rained even a drop，things would be much better now!And my vegetables   ．（　　）

• A． wouldn't die
• B． didn't die
• C． hadn't died
• D． wouldn't have died

Answer 1

分析 句意为：--天气太热太干燥．--对． 要是当时下一滴雨，情况现在就好多了，我的蔬菜当时就不会死了．

解答 答案：D  这里things would be much better now，说明与现在情况相反的虚拟语气，句中有 now，所以不能用things would have been much better 表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，后半句中表示的事实是"我的蔬菜死了"这应该是过去的事情，所以后面用D．

点评 本题考查混合式虚拟语气，前半句是对现在的情况的虚拟，而后半句是对过去的事情的虚拟，这一点需要看清．
