【知識點(diǎn)】虛擬語氣表示說話人的主觀愿望、猜測、建議或與事實(shí)不符的假想等,是通過謂語動詞的特殊形式來構(gòu)成的。由于其實(shí)用性強(qiáng)、易與其它句型結(jié)合、創(chuàng)新力度大而倍受命題者的青睞,它主要在單項(xiàng)填空、語法填空和短文改錯試題中考查。同時,由于虛擬語氣表示說話人的主觀態(tài)度,故而在聽力、閱讀理解和完形填空中也會涉及。熟練掌握虛擬語氣后,有助于我們了解說話人當(dāng)時的真實(shí)情感,明白其言外之意、弦外之音,從而準(zhǔn)確把握命題人的真正意圖。
1. 虛擬語氣用于條件狀語從句中時,主句和從句謂語動詞的形式,解題關(guān)鍵在于牢記基本結(jié)構(gòu)。
if條件句的謂語動詞 | 主句的謂語動詞 | |
對過去的虛擬 | had+過去分詞 | would/should/could/might +have +過去分詞 |
對現(xiàn)在的虛擬 | 一般過去時(be用were) | would/should/could/might +動詞原形 |
對將來的虛擬 | (1)一般過去時(be用were) (2)should+動詞原形 (3)were to+動詞原形 | would/should/could/might +動詞原形 |
I was wearing a seatbelt. If I hadn’t been wearing one, I would have been injured.
[簡析]句意:我當(dāng)時系著安全帶。如果我沒有系安全帶,我就會受傷了。使用虛擬語氣,根據(jù)if條件句中的hadn’t been wearing可知,主句用would have done表示對過去情況的虛擬,且I和injure是被動關(guān)系。
Sorry, I am too busy now. If I had time, I would certainly go for an outing with you.
[簡析]根據(jù)題干中“I am too busy now”可知,本題考查對現(xiàn)在的虛擬。句意:對不起,現(xiàn)在我很忙。如果我有空,我當(dāng)然會和你外出的。

[簡析]本題考查對將來的虛擬。句意:Grace不想搬去New York,因?yàn)樗J(rèn)為如果住在哪兒,她將不能常??赐改?。
2. 在表示“堅(jiān)持、命令、建議、要求”等動詞后面的賓語從句中,謂語動詞要用“(should)+動詞原形”。這類動詞主要有:1堅(jiān)持insist、3命令command/ direct/ order、4建議advise/propose/recommend/suggest、6要求ask/desire/ demand/request/ require/urge,此外還有prefer(寧愿)等。解題關(guān)鍵在于should可以省略,并且要注意語態(tài)。
My mom suggests that we should eat out for a change this weekend. (陜西2013卷·12)
[簡析]句意:媽媽建議我們這個周末出去吃飯換換樣。
Eye doctors recommend that a child’s first eye exam be at the age of six months old.
[簡析]句意:眼科醫(yī)生建議:孩子在六個月時就要進(jìn)行第一次眼科檢查。
3. 在固定句式中考查。解題關(guān)鍵在于牢記基本結(jié)構(gòu)。
(1)It is (high/about/the very) time+that從句。that從句動詞要用一般過去式或“should+動詞原形”。解題關(guān)鍵在于牢記結(jié)構(gòu)以及should不能省略。

[簡析]It’s high time+that從句,意為“該某人做某事的時候了”。that從句謂語動詞要用一般過去式或“should+動詞原形”。
(2)would rather+從句。

②表示對現(xiàn)在或?qū)?/span>的虛擬,從句動詞用一般過去時(be用were)。

②表示對現(xiàn)在的虛擬,從句動詞用一般過去時(be用were);
(3)表示對將來的虛擬,從句動詞用“should/ would/ could/ might+動詞原形”。

【高考考向】
依據(jù)語境來判斷虛擬語氣的不同形式為高考試題主要設(shè)題方法之一。在今年考題中,出現(xiàn)來對陳述語氣與虛擬語氣辨析考察。
【高考真題】
1. (2019.全國卷Ⅱ改編)If it had been my dog,I’d hope that somebody _______(be) willing to go that extra mile.
would be 句意∶如果那是我的狗,我希望有人愿意為我的狗多走一些路程, would表示意愿。
2. (2019 .天津卷改編)The workers were not better organized, otherwise they_________(accomplish) the task in half the time.
would have accomplished 句意∶工人們沒有被更好地組織起來,否則他們用一半的時間就能完成任務(wù)。根據(jù)句中的otherwise 以及前文為一般過去時可知,此處是對過去情況的含蓄虛擬,從句應(yīng)使用"would+have done",故填 would have accomplished。
【解題指導(dǎo)】本題通過時態(tài)及句中的關(guān)鍵詞 otherwise 可判斷是對過去情況的含蓄虛擬,從句謂語應(yīng)使用"would+have done"的形式。
3.(2018·北京卷改編)They might have found a bettr hotel if they_______(drive)a few more kilometers.
had driven 句意∶如果他們再開幾千米,可能會找到一個更好的旅館。由主句中的"might have found"可知,此處表示與過去事實(shí)相反的假設(shè),從句應(yīng)用過去完成時。
4.(2017·江蘇卷改編)__________(be) it not for the support of the teachers, the student could not overcome her dificulty.
Were 句意∶要不是老師們的支持,那個學(xué)生克服不了她的困難。根據(jù)后面的"could not overcome"可知,此處是對現(xiàn)在情況的虛擬,從句中的 be動詞要用 were。而且當(dāng)從句中省略了引導(dǎo)詞 if時,從句要用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu),即把從句中的were提到句首。故填Were。
5.(2018·江蘇卷改編)單句語法填空
There is a god social life in the village, and I wish I_______ (have) a second chance to become more involved.
句意∶鄉(xiāng)村里的社交生活很好,我希望我能有再一次機(jī)會更多地參與其中。wish后的從句用虛擬語氣,根據(jù)語境可知。此處表達(dá)說話人此刻不太可能實(shí)現(xiàn)的愿望,故從句用一般過去時。
【學(xué)生學(xué)情分析】
學(xué)生能記住虛擬語氣的基本原則,但是對于不同的時間,如三個時空時態(tài)的轉(zhuǎn)換的具體表達(dá)不能很好地運(yùn)用,需要多加練習(xí),熟能生巧。
