【答案詳解】

1. B。It’s time you did 為 It’s time you thanked Aunt Lucy for her present 之略。按照英語語法，it’s time 后從句通常要用過去式。

2. A。雖然前有虛擬條件句, 后有使用了虛擬語氣的賓語，但 I don’t know 卻宜用一般現在時，因為 I don’t know 表述的是現在的真實情況，句意為“我要不是有幸遇到你，我真不知(指現在不知)我會做出什么蠢事來”。

3. D。這是otherwise 引出的含蓄虛擬語氣，再根據前面的 hesitated 可進一步知道這是與過去事實相反的虛擬語氣，由此可推知答案選 D。

4. C。if only 意為“要是……就好了”，其后的句子謂語要用虛擬語氣，同時根據 as the doctor instructed 中的過去時態可知從句是與過去事實相反，故選 C。

5. A。without 引出的介詞短語為一個與現在事實相反的含蓄條件句。

6. A。在表示“建議”的advice, suggest等后的賓語從句的謂語用“(should +)動詞原形”。insist表示“堅持認為”講，它的賓語從句的謂語不用虛擬語氣。

7. C。Had it not been for…=If it had not been for…(要不是因為)表示與過去事實相反的假設。

8. B。當動詞suggest當“建議”時，后面的賓語從句用(should)+動詞原形；當“暗示、表明”時用陳述語氣。

9. D。without… 是表示與現在事實相反的含蓄條件句，主句用 would be。

10. A wish 后的賓語從句的謂語要用過去式表示虛擬語氣。Spent 是過去式，所以 wish 從句是表示與過去事實相反的情況，從句謂語用“had +過去分詞”。
