B.musthaveleftC.couldleave

D.mustleave參考答案：A【詳解】考查虛擬語(yǔ)氣。句意：這個(gè)年輕人本可以離開的，但他卻選擇了留下了幫助我。根據(jù)but句中的chose，可知本句是對(duì)過(guò)去情況的虛擬，應(yīng)該使用“情態(tài)動(dòng)詞+havedone”，排除CD項(xiàng)。B項(xiàng)“musthavedone”意為“一定做了某事”，表示對(duì)過(guò)去情況的推測(cè)，并不表示虛擬?！癱ouldhavedone”意為“本可以做某事，實(shí)際上卻未做”，是對(duì)過(guò)去情況的虛擬，故A項(xiàng)正確?！军c(diǎn)睛】本句考查了含蓄條件的虛擬語(yǔ)氣，所謂含蓄條件句就是利用語(yǔ)境不直接說(shuō)出條件的句子。這種句子可以分為兩類：一種是廣義的含蓄條件句，另一種是狹義的含蓄條件句。1.廣義含蓄指的是不用連詞if或unless介紹條件，而是改用其他方式。事實(shí)上這些表達(dá)方式也是同樣是條件狀語(yǔ)。（1）用介詞引入條件：*butfor（如不是,如沒(méi)有）：注意，凡是出現(xiàn)這個(gè)復(fù)合介詞的句子，必須要用虛擬語(yǔ)氣，如：Wewouldhavehadapleasantjourneybutfortherain.（=Wewouldhavehadapleasantjourneyifithadn’trained.）*without/with(在不具備/具備…的條件下),如：Withouthishelp,Icouldnothavedoneitwell.(=Ifhehadn’thelpedme,Icouldnothavedoneitwell.)Withfavorablewinds,wemighthavegotthereintwodays.(=Ifthereshouldbefavorablewinds,wemighthavegotthereintwodays.)*under（在…條件下）Wecouldhavedonebetterundermorefavorableconditions.（=Wecouldhavedonebetterifweweretobeundermorefavorableconditions.）（2）分詞短語(yǔ)充當(dāng)條件（分詞短語(yǔ)本身就具有充當(dāng)條件狀語(yǔ)的功能），如：Givenacertainopportunity,hecouldhaveshownmoretalent.(=Ifhehadbeengivenacertainopportunity,hecouldhaveshownmoretalent.)（3）表示不具備條件的連詞：but,butthat,or或otherwise不定式短語(yǔ)Theywouldhaveresistedbutthattheylackedcourage.（=Theywouldhaveresistediftheyhadn’tlackedcourage.要不是缺乏勇氣她們會(huì)抵抗的.）諸如此類，不一而足。2.狹義含蓄指的是不用任何語(yǔ)言方式顯示條件，而是把條件隱藏在具體的原環(huán)境中，（1）用上下文暗示條件，如：Iwassobusythen,otherwise,Iwouldhavefinishedit.（IfIhadn’tbeenbusythen,Iwouldhavefinishedit.）Itrainedyesterday,orIwouldhavegonecamping.(IfIthadn’trainedyesterday,Iwouldhavegonecamping.)（2）用委婉語(yǔ)氣暗示條件，如：Wouldyoumindopeningthewindow?(=WouldmindifIopenedthewindow.)Couldyoudomeafavortopassmethebook?(=Youwoulddomeafavorifyoushouldpassmethebook.)（3）用表示愿望的語(yǔ)氣暗示條件，如：LonglivetheChairmanMao!(=IfChairmanMaoshouldlivelong.)（4）用其他語(yǔ)言環(huán)境暗示條件，如：Thatwouldbefine.(=省略了Ifyoushoulddoit.)Youmightstayhereforever.(=省略了Ifyouwantedto.)Iwouldnothavedoneit.(=省略了IfIwereyou.)8.—Youaresokind,honey,butIpreferabeautifuldress.—OK.___________.A.You’vegotmethere

B.YounameitC.Youhavethelastword

D.Youarepullingmyleg【答案】C【解析】【詳解】考查交際用語(yǔ)。A.You’vegotmethere你難住我了。B.Younameit凡你想得起的，不管什么；C.Youhavethelastword你最后決定；.Youarepullingmyleg你在開我的玩笑。句意：—親愛的，你真是太好了，可是我想要那件漂亮的裙子?！玫模阕詈笞鰶Q定。根據(jù)句意可知C項(xiàng)正確。4.Photographerscaughtan_______momentwhenBritishPMGordonBrownwasnodoubtaimingforacasualkissonMerkel'scheek,butthekissinsteadfellontheGermanChancellor’snose.A.awkward B.random C.precise D.reliable參考答案：A【知識(shí)點(diǎn)】形容詞

解析：句意：攝影師捕捉到一個(gè)尷尬的時(shí)刻，英國(guó)首相戈登-布朗無(wú)疑是針對(duì)默克爾的面頰隨意一吻，但落在德國(guó)總理的鼻子。A尷尬的；B任意的，隨意的；C精確的；D可信賴的，可依賴的。根據(jù)題意選A?！炯记牲c(diǎn)撥】熟記形容詞的含義，認(rèn)真審題，感悟題意，別無(wú)他法。5.______inafriendlyway,theirquarrelcametoanend.
