2014高考英语考前押题:虚拟语气
一、表能力
1. When I was a child, I ________ watch TV whenever I wanted to.
A.should B.could
C.must D.need
解析:选B 考查情态动词。句意:当我还是个孩子的时候,我什么时候想看电视就可以看。根据题干中的whenever I wanted to可知,此空应填could,表示一般的能力,指想做就能做到。
2.)He ________ sleep, although he tried to, when he got on such a hunt for an idea until he had caught it.
A.wouldn't B.shouldn't
C.couldn't D.mustn't
解析:选C 考查情态动词。句意:尽管他想睡,但仍睡不着,(因为)当时他拼命想着一个主意,一直到想出来为止他才睡去。此处couldn't表示“不可能”,符合句意。
3I'm going to Europe on vacation together with John if I ________ find the money.
A.can B.might
C.would D.need
