(3) I wish I knew what was happening. 要是我當時知道正在發生什么事就好了。

此句用 what was happening 也非虛擬語氣，而是陳述語氣的過去進行時態，指過去正在發生的事情。

8. I had no idea _________ is better, so I took _________ of them.

A. what, both           B. what, none           C. which, both          C. which, none

【分析】此題的關鍵語境是句中的 better 一詞，better 用的是比較級，說明比較的對象應是兩者，由此可知第二空應填both 為好；由于談的是兩者，說明選擇范圍很明確，所以第一空應填 which。即答案應選C。

9. “Would you like a cup of coffee or a glass of beer?” “_________ will do, but milk is _________ popular with me.”

A. Neither, not         B. Both, more          C. Either, the most  D. All, the most

【分析】此題容易誤選B，認為前文提到 coffee 和 beer 為兩者，故其后應選 both 和 more 與之對應(more 為比較級，指兩者比較)。但是，這樣想的同學忽略了下文的語境已發生變化——后者談的既不是 coffee 也不是 beer，而是 milk，即第二空涉及的不是兩者，而是三者，故第二空應填 the most，即此題最佳答案為C。

10. “It looks as if he were drunk.” “So it does. _________.”

A. He’d better give up drinking               B. He shouldn’t have drunk so much

C. Health is more important than drink  D. I wonder why he is always doing so

【分析】此題最佳答案為D，但A、B、C均有可能誤選，主要是受題中 drunk 一詞的影響。做此題的關鍵是要抓住It looks as if he were drunk 中的關鍵詞were，因為它表明此句的謂語為虛擬語氣，也就是說，“他喝醉了”不是事實，只是他的言行好像是喝醉了，所以此題的最佳答案是D。另外注意，句中的 so it does 表示強調，意為“他看上去的確像是喝醉了”。類似用法：“The building looks beautiful.” “Yes, so it does.” “這房子看上去很美。”“是的，看上去的確很美。”此句中的 so it does 也表強調。

11. I had hoped to see her off at the station, but I _________ too busy.

A. was                      B. had been              C. would be              D. would have been

【分析】此題容易誤選B或D，認為前句用了had hoped，所以此句謂語要用B或D與之呼應。正確答案為A：前一句謂語用had hoped，表示的是過去未曾實現的想法或打算，可以譯為“本想”，而后一句說“我太忙”，這是陳述過去的一個事實，所以要用一般過去時。請看類例(答案均為A)：

(1) We had hoped to catch the 10:20 train, but _________ it was gone.

A. found                   B. had found             C. would find            D. would have found

(2) We had hoped that you would be able to visit us, but you _________.

A. didn't                   B. hadn't                   C. would not             D. would not been

(3) We had wanted to come to see him, but we _________ no time.

A. had                      B. had had                C. would have           D. would have had

(4) I had expected to come over to see you last night, but someone _________ and I couldn't get away.

A. called                   B. had called             C. would call             D. would have called
