【語法難點(diǎn)精析之被分隔的定語從句】
定語從句一般緊接被它所修飾的先行詞；但有時(shí)候它和先行詞之間有可能插入其他成分，使它與先行詞分隔開來，這種定語從句叫作被分隔的定語從句，在閱讀文章時(shí)會經(jīng)常遇到這種情況，在閱讀是要注意識別先行詞的修飾對象。
一般說來，定語從句被分割開來大致有以下三種：
①在先行詞與定語從句之間插入一個狀語。
如：There are many thousands of stars in the sky that are like the sun.
在太空中有成千上萬的象太陽般的星星。
乍一看，that引導(dǎo)的定語從句在名詞sky的后面，似乎應(yīng)該是修飾sky的。但仔細(xì)一想，”不對啊，天空怎么能象太陽呢？“，原來that引導(dǎo)的定語從句被in the sky這個地點(diǎn)狀語分隔開來，修飾中心詞stars。
②在先行詞與定語從句之間插入一個定語。
如：Do you remember one afternoon ten years ago when I came to your house and borrowed a diamond necklace?
你還記得嗎，十年前的一天下午，我來到你家，找你借了一條鉆石項(xiàng)鏈？
when I came to your house and borrowed a diamond necklace實(shí)際上是修飾afternoon而不是修飾 years。ten years ago 實(shí)際上是定語后置修飾afternoon。
③先行詞與定語從句被謂語分隔開來。此時(shí)，先行詞通常是句子的主語，因定語從句較長，主句謂語較短，為使句子平衡，常將定語從句移至謂語之后
如：A new master will come tomorrow who will teach you German.
明天，新（男）老師將來較你德語。
【語法難點(diǎn)精析之besides,but,except,exept for,excepting,apart from的區(qū)別】
（１） besides與except
前者表示＂除．．．以外，還有．．．＂；后者表示＂從整體中除去．．．＂
這個大家都知道，就不舉例子了．
（２）except與except for
a．除去的和非除去的是同類事物，用except
eg：
All the essays are well written except Nelson"s.
Nelson的文章（除去的）和All the essays（非除去的）是同類事物，所以用except．
b．除去的和非除去的不是同類事物，用except for，并且從語氣上通常表示遺憾．
eg：His essay is well written except for a few spelling mistakes.
a few spelling mistakes(除去的）和His essay（非除去的）是不同類的事物．
（３）apart from 具有多重意義：既可表示besides，也可以表示exept或exept for，還可以表示without的意思
eg：
Apart from the cost,it will take a lot of time.(=besides)
The orphan had no one to take care of him apart from his uncle.(=except)
He has done good work,apart from a few slight faults.(=except for)
There can be no knowledge apart from practice.實(shí)踐出真知．（＝without）
（４）excepting =except,但一般用于句首或用于not，without，always等詞之后
eg:
Excepting his brother,they are all right.
Everyone,not excepting myself,must share the blame.
All of us,without excepting those who know more about the subject,should study.
All my brothers com here every day,always excepting the youngest.
（５）but與except同義，但but多用在every，any，no等和由這些詞構(gòu)成的復(fù)合詞如everything，anywhere，nobody等詞以后及all，none之后
eg：
The children go to school everyday but Sunday.
They are all gone but me.
You can get the book anywhere but here.
There is no one but me.
Who but George would do such a thing?
【語法難點(diǎn)之too...to 結(jié)構(gòu)表示肯定含義的情況】（連載中）
【too...to 結(jié)構(gòu)表示肯定含義的情況】
我們知道too...to結(jié)構(gòu)一般表示否定含義,意為"太...以致于不能"
eg:He is too old to work.
但too...to在下列情況下卻表示肯定含義:
⑴當(dāng)too前或to前有否定詞構(gòu)成雙重否定時(shí).
eg:English is not too difficult to learn.
英語并不太難學(xué).
He is too wise not to see that.
他很聰明,不會不懂這一點(diǎn).
⑵當(dāng)too后是glad,pleased,happy,delighted,satisfied,ready,willing,kind,apt,good,true,easy,near,careful,well,
early,delicious,eager,anxious等形容詞或副詞時(shí).
eg:They are too anxious to leave.
他們急于離開.
He is too ready to help others.
他總是樂于助人.
與這些詞連用時(shí),too前還常加上only,all,but,just,simply等副詞,意思不變,因?yàn)檫@些詞加上too后與very同義.
eg:I"m only too glad to see you .
見到你非常高興.
They are but too pleased to hear the news.
他們聽到這個消息,非常高興.
⑶與cannot連用時(shí).
eg:You cannot be too careful(=You can never be careful enough) to do your homework.
你做作業(yè)越仔細(xì)越好(=無論怎樣仔細(xì)也不過分).
⑷當(dāng)不定式在句中作定語或真正的主語時(shí).
eg:There are too many problems to be solved.
有很多問題有待解決.
It is too much to say that he is a fool.
【語法難點(diǎn)精析之every表示”每隔“的用法】
⑴"every other+單數(shù)名詞”
意思是“每隔一。。?！?BR> 如：every other day 每隔一天 every other tree 每隔一棵樹
⑵“every+基數(shù)詞+復(fù)數(shù)名詞”或“every+序數(shù)詞+單數(shù)名詞”
意思是“每隔。。?！保ㄝ^英語數(shù)詞少一個）
如：every three days=every third day 每隔兩天（或者譯為每三天）
因此every two days=every other day 每隔一天（或者譯為每兩天）
⑶“every few+復(fù)數(shù)名詞”
意思是“每隔幾。。?！?BR> 如：every few days（每隔幾天）
【語法難點(diǎn)精析之a(chǎn)live、live、living和lively的用法】
⑴ lively 有“活潑的、快活的、生動的”等意思，可以指人或物，可作定語或標(biāo)語；但它沒有“活著的”意思，而其他三個都有。
如：
Young children are usually lively.
小孩子們通常是活潑的。
He told a very lively story.
他講了一個生動的故事。
⑵alive、live、living都有“活的、有生命的”意思，與dead意義相反。但live通常只作前置定語，且一般用于動物；alive、living不僅可作定語（alive只能置于名詞后；living一般置于名詞前，也可置于名詞后），也可以作表語。
如：
This is a live(=living) fish.(=This is a fish alive.)
這是一條活魚。（指動物，且作定語時(shí)，三者均可用）
Who"s the greatest man alive(=living man)?
誰是當(dāng)今偉大的人物？（指人，不能用live）
The fish is still alive(=living)
那條魚還活著。（指動物作表語時(shí)不能用live）。
⑶living主要指在某個時(shí)候是活著的，而alive指本來有死的可能，但仍活著的。而且，作主語補(bǔ)足語或賓語補(bǔ)足語時(shí)，只能用alive；作比喻義（如“活像。。?！薄ⅰ盎钌摹钡龋┙鈺r(shí)，要用living。
如：
The enemy officer was caught alive.(作主語補(bǔ)足語，不用living）
那位敵方軍官被活捉了。
We found the snake alive.(作賓語補(bǔ)足語，不用living）
He is the living image of his father.(比喻義，不用alive）
他活象他父親。
⑷只有l(wèi)iving前加the方可表示“活著的人”，作主語時(shí)，視作復(fù)數(shù)。
如：
The living are more important to us than the dead.
活著的人對我們來說比死去的人更重要。

虛擬語氣的重點(diǎn)是：
1．一些常見的虛擬語氣的句型或結(jié)構(gòu)。
2．虛擬語氣的特殊形式，即用來表示要求、建議、命令、提議、意愿等的主語從句、賓語從句、表語從句和同位語從句中的虛擬形式。
3．主從句表示不同的時(shí)間概念、事實(shí)或假設(shè)情況，從而交錯成為復(fù)合虛擬語氣。
4．含蓄條件句中的虛擬語氣的表示愿望的虛擬形式。
上述四個要點(diǎn)往往在完形填空或者閱讀理解里面存在，尤其是每年完形填空都至少有一道直接考這方面的知識的題目，而在閱讀理解里，我們掌握上述四個重點(diǎn)對于我們理解文章的大意和作者態(tài)度很有幫助，了解哪些觀點(diǎn)是作者假設(shè)的、虛擬的，哪些是真實(shí)的，這樣對于我們回答關(guān)于作者態(tài)度觀點(diǎn)題很有幫助。
下面我們將主要從上述四個方面來重點(diǎn)論述在考試中應(yīng)該注意的問題。
一、虛擬語氣的常見類型和句型
（1）由wish引起的表示愿望的虛擬語氣
A．用wish表示對現(xiàn)在的愿望時(shí)，它所引起的賓語從句中謂語動詞形式為：過去式（be動詞用were）。
B．用wish表示對將來的愿望時(shí)，它所引起的賓語從句中謂語動詞形式為：would, could, might+ 動詞原形。
C．wish用于對過去的事實(shí)表示一種不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)的愿望時(shí)，賓語從句中的謂語動詞形式為：had+動詞過去分詞或could, would + have +動詞過去分詞。
The picture exhibition bored me to death; I wish I had not gone to it.
---“I let Joe borrow our radio for the afternoon.”
---“That’s all right, but I wish he would buy one of his own.”
I wish that he weren’t so lazy.
(2)had hoped引起的賓語從句中備用語動詞形式為would+動詞原形，表示一種過去未實(shí)現(xiàn)的愿望或令人失望的事。
His father had hoped that his son would go to business with him, but his son became an artist later.
(3)would (had) rather, would as soon, would sooner和would prefer所引起的從句中要求用過去式表示當(dāng)時(shí)或?qū)淼那闆r，用過去完成時(shí)表示過去的情況，表示希望或婉轉(zhuǎn)的責(zé)備。例如：
I’d rather you posted the letter right away. 我倒希望你把這封信立刻寄出去。
I would prefer he didn’t stay there too long.我倒希望他不要在那兒可得太久。
I would just as soon you had returned the book yesterday.我真希望你昨天把這本書還了。
（4）It’s (high, about) time that 句型中that從句中要求用虛擬語氣形式，即動詞要用過去式。
It’s time that something was done about the traffic problem downtown.
It is high time that we put an end to this discussion.現(xiàn)在是我們該結(jié)束講座的時(shí)候了。
（5）as, 或者whether…or…謂語多用be的原形，引導(dǎo)讓步虛擬從句，這種用法通常采用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)：
Church as we use the word refers to all religious institutions, be they Christian, Islamivc, Buddhist, Jewish, and so on.
The business of each day, be it selling goods or shipping them, went quite smoothly.
（6）由連接詞in case, so that ,unless, lest ,for fear that引起的狀語從句中，謂語動詞要用虛擬形式，即should(might, would)+動詞原形，例如：
She put a blanket over the baby for fear that he should catch cold. 她在那個嬰兒身上蓋上了毯子以免他著涼。
The bad man was put in the soft-padded cell lest he injure himself.
(7) if it were not for…與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反， if it had not been for與過去事實(shí)相反，兩個都相當(dāng)于but for：
If it had not been for his help(=but for his help),we would not have succeeded.
(8) 虛擬語氣用于as if（though）引起的方式狀語從句和表語從句中，其動詞形式與wish賓語從句的形式相同。例如：She often laughs spontaneously, and her good humor breaks out as brightly as if it were a part of the sunshine above.她常常發(fā)出發(fā)自內(nèi)心的微笑，而且她那美好的情緒像天上一道明亮的陽光一樣，常常流露出來。
They talked as if they had been friends for years.他們交談著，就好像他們是我年的老朋友一樣。
She looks as if she would cry.她看起來好像要哭了。
(9)其它各種句型, as though, suppose, had rather, supposing, if only等等
If I were in a movie, then it would be about time that I buried my head in my hands for a cry.
二、特殊形式的虛擬語氣
虛擬語氣的特殊形式，即用來表示要求、建議、命令、提議、意愿等的主語從句、賓語從句、表語從句和同位語從句中的虛擬形式，其虛擬語氣的構(gòu)成往往是由should(可省略)+動詞原形that從句。
A、 用于表示意愿、建議、命令、提議、請求等動詞后的that賓語從句中，這類動詞有：
ask要求 advise建議 arrange安排 beg請求
command命令 decide決定 demand要求 desire渴望
determine決定 insist堅(jiān)持 intend打算 maintain堅(jiān)持主張
move建議，動員 propose提議 object反對 order命令
prefer建議 require 需要 request要求 resolve下決心
recommend推薦 suggest建議 stipulate約定，規(guī)定 urge強(qiáng)調(diào)，促進(jìn)
vote公認(rèn)，提議 decree頒布（法令） pray請求
注意：這類動詞后面除了可接that虛擬句以外，也可以接doing或者to do…來表達(dá)，一般情況下，意思沒有什么差別。
She advised that we should keep the gate locked.（書面體）
She advised us to keep the gate locked.（口語）
She advised keeping the gate locked.(較隨便)
B、用于It is+形容詞或過去分詞+主語從句中，這類形容詞或分詞有：
advisable合理的 decided決定的 crucial關(guān)鍵的 appropriate恰當(dāng)?shù)?BR> determined決定的 commanded命令的 arranged安排的 essential緊要的，基本的
complied遵照 anxious焦急的 imperative迫切的 important重要的
desirable合意的 better較好的，更好 insistent堅(jiān)持的 desired想要
asked請求 keen渴望的 incredible難以置信的 adamant堅(jiān)定不移的
natural自然的 insisted堅(jiān)持 necessary必要的 suggested建議
urgent緊迫的 ordered命令 shocked震驚的 vital極其重要的
possible可能的 strange 奇怪的 preferable （好一點(diǎn)） proposed提議
requested要求的 required要求的 recommended推薦 resolved決定的
probable（可能的） pity可惜，憾事 shame遺憾
注意：這類形容詞后面除了可接that虛擬句以外，也可以for…to do…
來表達(dá)，一般情況下，意思沒有什么差別。
It is essential that he should be prepared for this.
It is essential for him to be prepared for this.
C．用于由表示建議、要求、命令、請示等含義的名詞引導(dǎo)的表語從句和同位語從句中，這類名詞常見的有：
advice忠告 decision決定 demand要求 desire要求、愿望
insistence堅(jiān)持 motion提議 necessity必要性 order命令
preference偏愛 proposal提議 pray懇求 recommendation推薦
request要求 requirement要求 resolution決心 suggestion勸告、忠告
例如：
This is their resolution that extra-curriculum activities be made part of their school life.這是他們的決議：要使得課外活動成為他們學(xué)校生活的一部分。
The motion that the remark of the last speaker be expunged from the record.該提議要求把后一個發(fā)言的人的講話從記錄上除掉。
三、混合虛擬語氣
有時(shí)主句和從句的謂語動詞指不同的時(shí)間，這時(shí)需要用混合虛擬語氣。一般來說，在這種情況下，主從句謂語動詞指代的時(shí)間不同，所以我們又可以錯綜時(shí)間條件句，在這種虛擬情況，動詞形式應(yīng)根據(jù)實(shí)際情況靈活使用，在做這些題目時(shí)候尤其要注意每道題目的提示語：時(shí)間狀語。絕大多數(shù)情況下，從句或者主句都有相關(guān)的時(shí)間狀語，這是我解題的關(guān)鍵。
If you that late movie last night, you wouldn’t be so sleepy.
A. haven’t watched B. didn’t watch
C. hadn’t watched D. wouldn’t have watched 答案選C。
Many dead would now be alive if they have not attempted to return for something.
Had Paul received six more votes in the last election, he would be our chairman now.
混合虛擬語氣還有一種情況就是事實(shí)和虛擬假設(shè)的混合句，這樣的句子不僅僅是時(shí)間的不同，而重要是事實(shí)和假設(shè)的混合。
I would have gone to visit him in the hospital had it been at all possible, but I was fully occupied the whole of last week.
該句前半部分是假設(shè)虛擬，而后半部分是事實(shí)的陳述。
Your math instructor would have been happy to give you a make-up examination had you gone and explained that your parents were ill at the time.
該句前半句用的是假設(shè)虛擬，后半句主句也用的是假設(shè)虛擬（如果你去并且解釋的話），但是后半句的從句用的是事實(shí)語氣，因?yàn)椤案改覆×恕笔强陀^事實(shí)，故不需要用虛擬形式had been。
四、含蓄虛擬條件句
含蓄條件句是指句中沒有明顯的虛擬條件句，而是利用其他手段來暗示存在虛擬條件。但是這類隱含式虛擬條件句往往都可以轉(zhuǎn)化為if引導(dǎo)的條件句。常來表示含蓄虛擬條件的手段有：
（1）介詞或介詞短語，如but for, but that, without, in case of, under more favorable condition等。
the leadership of the party, we could not be living a happy today.=If there hadn’t been the leadership of the party, we could not be living a happy today.
A. In spite of B. But for C. Because of D. As for 答案選B。
But that she was afraid, she would have said no.
(2)連詞，如：so that, unless, in case, supposing, lest, provided(倘若……)，for fear that(唯恐)，in order that, on condition that, if only(要是……就好了)等。
She listened carefully in order that she might discover exactly what he wanted.=if she listened carefully ,she might discover exactly what he wanted.
If only I had more money, I could buy a car.
(注：lest, for fear that 和 in case 引起的從句中謂語動詞多用should+動詞原形，但可以不用虛擬語氣，而用動詞的陳述語氣形式。)例如：
The foreign teacher spoke slowly in case we misunderstood him. 這位外籍教師說得很慢以免我們聽不懂。
Care must be taken in using this method lest overflow should occur.在使用此法時(shí)要小心謹(jǐn)慎，以免會發(fā)生溢流現(xiàn)象。
（3）通過上下文及內(nèi)在含義，句中往往有but, otherwise, unfortunately等類似轉(zhuǎn)折詞。
I thought the children when we returned home, but they were still awake.
A. were sleeping B. would be sleeping C. had been sleeping D. would sleep選擇 B。
(4)形容詞及其比較級
A more careful person would not have made so many mistakes.
A less conscientious man wouldn’t have tried so hard to get this job done.
(5)分詞短語
Having known in time, we might have prevented the accident.
Born ten days earlier, the boy could have seen his late father.
(6)動詞不定式短語。一般intended/meant/hoped/wished/planned 或 was/were+不定式完成式或had intended/meant/planned/hoped/wished/+不定式一般式表示虛擬。
I intended I should call on you, but I was busy at that time.
To hear him speak French, you would take him for an Englishman.
She would be stupid not to accept his invitation.
It would be easier to do it this way.
(7)名詞短語和名詞+and結(jié)構(gòu)
A judicious man would not have committed suicide.
A diligent student would have worked harder.
(8)獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)
All things considered, the price would be reasonable.
(9)定語從句
Anyone who had been in your position would have done the same.
A nation, which stopped working, would be dead in a fortnight.
(10）情態(tài)動詞完成式暗示虛擬語氣：
I should have called to make an airline reservation, but I didn’t.
The porter ought to have called the fire-brigade as soon as he saw the fire in the stock, which went up in smoke.
(11)動詞原形表示虛擬
動詞原形直接用在句子中也被看作是一種虛擬，常見于正式文體中，動詞原形一般用在條件從句中，有時(shí)倒裝置于句首，同時(shí)這種用法也常見于獨(dú)立句中表達(dá)愿望。
God bless you!
All magnets behave the same, be they large or small.
She’ll be sixteen years odd, com May.(come May =when May come).
If that be so, we shall take action at once.

定語從句一般緊接被它所修飾的先行詞；但有時(shí)候它和先行詞之間有可能插入其他成分，使它與先行詞分隔開來，這種定語從句叫作被分隔的定語從句，在閱讀文章時(shí)會經(jīng)常遇到這種情況，在閱讀是要注意識別先行詞的修飾對象。
一般說來，定語從句被分割開來大致有以下三種：
①在先行詞與定語從句之間插入一個狀語。
如：There are many thousands of stars in the sky that are like the sun.
在太空中有成千上萬的象太陽般的星星。
乍一看，that引導(dǎo)的定語從句在名詞sky的后面，似乎應(yīng)該是修飾sky的。但仔細(xì)一想，”不對啊，天空怎么能象太陽呢？“，原來that引導(dǎo)的定語從句被in the sky這個地點(diǎn)狀語分隔開來，修飾中心詞stars。
②在先行詞與定語從句之間插入一個定語。
如：Do you remember one afternoon ten years ago when I came to your house and borrowed a diamond necklace?
你還記得嗎，十年前的一天下午，我來到你家，找你借了一條鉆石項(xiàng)鏈？
when I came to your house and borrowed a diamond necklace實(shí)際上是修飾afternoon而不是修飾 years。ten years ago 實(shí)際上是定語后置修飾afternoon。
③先行詞與定語從句被謂語分隔開來。此時(shí)，先行詞通常是句子的主語，因定語從句較長，主句謂語較短，為使句子平衡，常將定語從句移至謂語之后
如：A new master will come tomorrow who will teach you German.
明天，新（男）老師將來較你德語。
【語法難點(diǎn)精析之besides,but,except,exept for,excepting,apart from的區(qū)別】
（１） besides與except
前者表示＂除．．．以外，還有．．．＂；后者表示＂從整體中除去．．．＂
這個大家都知道，就不舉例子了．
（２）except與except for
a．除去的和非除去的是同類事物，用except
eg：
All the essays are well written except Nelson"s.
Nelson的文章（除去的）和All the essays（非除去的）是同類事物，所以用except．
b．除去的和非除去的不是同類事物，用except for，并且從語氣上通常表示遺憾．
eg：His essay is well written except for a few spelling mistakes.
a few spelling mistakes(除去的）和His essay（非除去的）是不同類的事物．
（３）apart from 具有多重意義：既可表示besides，也可以表示exept或exept for，還可以表示without的意思
eg：
Apart from the cost,it will take a lot of time.(=besides)
The orphan had no one to take care of him apart from his uncle.(=except)
He has done good work,apart from a few slight faults.(=except for)
There can be no knowledge apart from practice.實(shí)踐出真知．（＝without）
（４）excepting =except,但一般用于句首或用于not，without，always等詞之后
eg:
Excepting his brother,they are all right.
Everyone,not excepting myself,must share the blame.
All of us,without excepting those who know more about the subject,should study.
All my brothers com here every day,always excepting the youngest.
（５）but與except同義，但but多用在every，any，no等和由這些詞構(gòu)成的復(fù)合詞如everything，anywhere，nobody等詞以后及all，none之后
eg：
The children go to school everyday but Sunday.
They are all gone but me.
You can get the book anywhere but here.
There is no one but me.
Who but George would do such a thing?
【語法難點(diǎn)之too...to 結(jié)構(gòu)表示肯定含義的情況】（連載中）
【too...to 結(jié)構(gòu)表示肯定含義的情況】
我們知道too...to結(jié)構(gòu)一般表示否定含義,意為"太...以致于不能"
eg:He is too old to work.
但too...to在下列情況下卻表示肯定含義:
⑴當(dāng)too前或to前有否定詞構(gòu)成雙重否定時(shí).
eg:English is not too difficult to learn.
英語并不太難學(xué).
He is too wise not to see that.
他很聰明,不會不懂這一點(diǎn).
⑵當(dāng)too后是glad,pleased,happy,delighted,satisfied,ready,willing,kind,apt,good,true,easy,near,careful,well,
early,delicious,eager,anxious等形容詞或副詞時(shí).
eg:They are too anxious to leave.
他們急于離開.
He is too ready to help others.
他總是樂于助人.
與這些詞連用時(shí),too前還常加上only,all,but,just,simply等副詞,意思不變,因?yàn)檫@些詞加上too后與very同義.
eg:I"m only too glad to see you .
見到你非常高興.
They are but too pleased to hear the news.
他們聽到這個消息,非常高興.
⑶與cannot連用時(shí).
eg:You cannot be too careful(=You can never be careful enough) to do your homework.
你做作業(yè)越仔細(xì)越好(=無論怎樣仔細(xì)也不過分).
⑷當(dāng)不定式在句中作定語或真正的主語時(shí).
eg:There are too many problems to be solved.
有很多問題有待解決.
It is too much to say that he is a fool.
【語法難點(diǎn)精析之every表示”每隔“的用法】
⑴"every other+單數(shù)名詞”
意思是“每隔一。。?！?BR> 如：every other day 每隔一天 every other tree 每隔一棵樹
⑵“every+基數(shù)詞+復(fù)數(shù)名詞”或“every+序數(shù)詞+單數(shù)名詞”
意思是“每隔。。?！保ㄝ^英語數(shù)詞少一個）
如：every three days=every third day 每隔兩天（或者譯為每三天）
因此every two days=every other day 每隔一天（或者譯為每兩天）
⑶“every few+復(fù)數(shù)名詞”
意思是“每隔幾。。?！?BR> 如：every few days（每隔幾天）
【語法難點(diǎn)精析之a(chǎn)live、live、living和lively的用法】
⑴ lively 有“活潑的、快活的、生動的”等意思，可以指人或物，可作定語或標(biāo)語；但它沒有“活著的”意思，而其他三個都有。
如：
Young children are usually lively.
小孩子們通常是活潑的。
He told a very lively story.
他講了一個生動的故事。
⑵alive、live、living都有“活的、有生命的”意思，與dead意義相反。但live通常只作前置定語，且一般用于動物；alive、living不僅可作定語（alive只能置于名詞后；living一般置于名詞前，也可置于名詞后），也可以作表語。
如：
This is a live(=living) fish.(=This is a fish alive.)
這是一條活魚。（指動物，且作定語時(shí)，三者均可用）
Who"s the greatest man alive(=living man)?
誰是當(dāng)今偉大的人物？（指人，不能用live）
The fish is still alive(=living)
那條魚還活著。（指動物作表語時(shí)不能用live）。
⑶living主要指在某個時(shí)候是活著的，而alive指本來有死的可能，但仍活著的。而且，作主語補(bǔ)足語或賓語補(bǔ)足語時(shí)，只能用alive；作比喻義（如“活像。。?！薄ⅰ盎钌摹钡龋┙鈺r(shí)，要用living。
如：
The enemy officer was caught alive.(作主語補(bǔ)足語，不用living）
那位敵方軍官被活捉了。
We found the snake alive.(作賓語補(bǔ)足語，不用living）
He is the living image of his father.(比喻義，不用alive）
他活象他父親。
⑷只有l(wèi)iving前加the方可表示“活著的人”，作主語時(shí)，視作復(fù)數(shù)。
如：
The living are more important to us than the dead.
活著的人對我們來說比死去的人更重要。

虛擬語氣的重點(diǎn)是：
1．一些常見的虛擬語氣的句型或結(jié)構(gòu)。
2．虛擬語氣的特殊形式，即用來表示要求、建議、命令、提議、意愿等的主語從句、賓語從句、表語從句和同位語從句中的虛擬形式。
3．主從句表示不同的時(shí)間概念、事實(shí)或假設(shè)情況，從而交錯成為復(fù)合虛擬語氣。
4．含蓄條件句中的虛擬語氣的表示愿望的虛擬形式。
上述四個要點(diǎn)往往在完形填空或者閱讀理解里面存在，尤其是每年完形填空都至少有一道直接考這方面的知識的題目，而在閱讀理解里，我們掌握上述四個重點(diǎn)對于我們理解文章的大意和作者態(tài)度很有幫助，了解哪些觀點(diǎn)是作者假設(shè)的、虛擬的，哪些是真實(shí)的，這樣對于我們回答關(guān)于作者態(tài)度觀點(diǎn)題很有幫助。
下面我們將主要從上述四個方面來重點(diǎn)論述在考試中應(yīng)該注意的問題。
一、虛擬語氣的常見類型和句型
（1）由wish引起的表示愿望的虛擬語氣
A．用wish表示對現(xiàn)在的愿望時(shí)，它所引起的賓語從句中謂語動詞形式為：過去式（be動詞用were）。
B．用wish表示對將來的愿望時(shí)，它所引起的賓語從句中謂語動詞形式為：would, could, might+ 動詞原形。
C．wish用于對過去的事實(shí)表示一種不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)的愿望時(shí)，賓語從句中的謂語動詞形式為：had+動詞過去分詞或could, would + have +動詞過去分詞。
The picture exhibition bored me to death; I wish I had not gone to it.
---“I let Joe borrow our radio for the afternoon.”
---“That’s all right, but I wish he would buy one of his own.”
I wish that he weren’t so lazy.
(2)had hoped引起的賓語從句中備用語動詞形式為would+動詞原形，表示一種過去未實(shí)現(xiàn)的愿望或令人失望的事。
His father had hoped that his son would go to business with him, but his son became an artist later.
(3)would (had) rather, would as soon, would sooner和would prefer所引起的從句中要求用過去式表示當(dāng)時(shí)或?qū)淼那闆r，用過去完成時(shí)表示過去的情況，表示希望或婉轉(zhuǎn)的責(zé)備。例如：
I’d rather you posted the letter right away. 我倒希望你把這封信立刻寄出去。
I would prefer he didn’t stay there too long.我倒希望他不要在那兒可得太久。
I would just as soon you had returned the book yesterday.我真希望你昨天把這本書還了。
（4）It’s (high, about) time that 句型中that從句中要求用虛擬語氣形式，即動詞要用過去式。
It’s time that something was done about the traffic problem downtown.
It is high time that we put an end to this discussion.現(xiàn)在是我們該結(jié)束講座的時(shí)候了。
（5）as, 或者whether…or…謂語多用be的原形，引導(dǎo)讓步虛擬從句，這種用法通常采用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)：
Church as we use the word refers to all religious institutions, be they Christian, Islamivc, Buddhist, Jewish, and so on.
The business of each day, be it selling goods or shipping them, went quite smoothly.
（6）由連接詞in case, so that ,unless, lest ,for fear that引起的狀語從句中，謂語動詞要用虛擬形式，即should(might, would)+動詞原形，例如：
She put a blanket over the baby for fear that he should catch cold. 她在那個嬰兒身上蓋上了毯子以免他著涼。
The bad man was put in the soft-padded cell lest he injure himself.
(7) if it were not for…與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反， if it had not been for與過去事實(shí)相反，兩個都相當(dāng)于but for：
If it had not been for his help(=but for his help),we would not have succeeded.
(8) 虛擬語氣用于as if（though）引起的方式狀語從句和表語從句中，其動詞形式與wish賓語從句的形式相同。例如：She often laughs spontaneously, and her good humor breaks out as brightly as if it were a part of the sunshine above.她常常發(fā)出發(fā)自內(nèi)心的微笑，而且她那美好的情緒像天上一道明亮的陽光一樣，常常流露出來。
They talked as if they had been friends for years.他們交談著，就好像他們是我年的老朋友一樣。
She looks as if she would cry.她看起來好像要哭了。
(9)其它各種句型, as though, suppose, had rather, supposing, if only等等
If I were in a movie, then it would be about time that I buried my head in my hands for a cry.
二、特殊形式的虛擬語氣
虛擬語氣的特殊形式，即用來表示要求、建議、命令、提議、意愿等的主語從句、賓語從句、表語從句和同位語從句中的虛擬形式，其虛擬語氣的構(gòu)成往往是由should(可省略)+動詞原形that從句。
A、 用于表示意愿、建議、命令、提議、請求等動詞后的that賓語從句中，這類動詞有：
ask要求 advise建議 arrange安排 beg請求
command命令 decide決定 demand要求 desire渴望
determine決定 insist堅(jiān)持 intend打算 maintain堅(jiān)持主張
move建議，動員 propose提議 object反對 order命令
prefer建議 require 需要 request要求 resolve下決心
recommend推薦 suggest建議 stipulate約定，規(guī)定 urge強(qiáng)調(diào)，促進(jìn)
vote公認(rèn)，提議 decree頒布（法令） pray請求
注意：這類動詞后面除了可接that虛擬句以外，也可以接doing或者to do…來表達(dá)，一般情況下，意思沒有什么差別。
She advised that we should keep the gate locked.（書面體）
She advised us to keep the gate locked.（口語）
She advised keeping the gate locked.(較隨便)
B、用于It is+形容詞或過去分詞+主語從句中，這類形容詞或分詞有：
advisable合理的 decided決定的 crucial關(guān)鍵的 appropriate恰當(dāng)?shù)?BR> determined決定的 commanded命令的 arranged安排的 essential緊要的，基本的
complied遵照 anxious焦急的 imperative迫切的 important重要的
desirable合意的 better較好的，更好 insistent堅(jiān)持的 desired想要
asked請求 keen渴望的 incredible難以置信的 adamant堅(jiān)定不移的
natural自然的 insisted堅(jiān)持 necessary必要的 suggested建議
urgent緊迫的 ordered命令 shocked震驚的 vital極其重要的
possible可能的 strange 奇怪的 preferable （好一點(diǎn)） proposed提議
requested要求的 required要求的 recommended推薦 resolved決定的
probable（可能的） pity可惜，憾事 shame遺憾
注意：這類形容詞后面除了可接that虛擬句以外，也可以for…to do…
來表達(dá)，一般情況下，意思沒有什么差別。
It is essential that he should be prepared for this.
It is essential for him to be prepared for this.
C．用于由表示建議、要求、命令、請示等含義的名詞引導(dǎo)的表語從句和同位語從句中，這類名詞常見的有：
advice忠告 decision決定 demand要求 desire要求、愿望
insistence堅(jiān)持 motion提議 necessity必要性 order命令
preference偏愛 proposal提議 pray懇求 recommendation推薦
request要求 requirement要求 resolution決心 suggestion勸告、忠告
例如：
This is their resolution that extra-curriculum activities be made part of their school life.這是他們的決議：要使得課外活動成為他們學(xué)校生活的一部分。
The motion that the remark of the last speaker be expunged from the record.該提議要求把后一個發(fā)言的人的講話從記錄上除掉。
三、混合虛擬語氣
有時(shí)主句和從句的謂語動詞指不同的時(shí)間，這時(shí)需要用混合虛擬語氣。一般來說，在這種情況下，主從句謂語動詞指代的時(shí)間不同，所以我們又可以錯綜時(shí)間條件句，在這種虛擬情況，動詞形式應(yīng)根據(jù)實(shí)際情況靈活使用，在做這些題目時(shí)候尤其要注意每道題目的提示語：時(shí)間狀語。絕大多數(shù)情況下，從句或者主句都有相關(guān)的時(shí)間狀語，這是我解題的關(guān)鍵。
If you that late movie last night, you wouldn’t be so sleepy.
A. haven’t watched B. didn’t watch
C. hadn’t watched D. wouldn’t have watched 答案選C。
Many dead would now be alive if they have not attempted to return for something.
Had Paul received six more votes in the last election, he would be our chairman now.
混合虛擬語氣還有一種情況就是事實(shí)和虛擬假設(shè)的混合句，這樣的句子不僅僅是時(shí)間的不同，而重要是事實(shí)和假設(shè)的混合。
I would have gone to visit him in the hospital had it been at all possible, but I was fully occupied the whole of last week.
該句前半部分是假設(shè)虛擬，而后半部分是事實(shí)的陳述。
Your math instructor would have been happy to give you a make-up examination had you gone and explained that your parents were ill at the time.
該句前半句用的是假設(shè)虛擬，后半句主句也用的是假設(shè)虛擬（如果你去并且解釋的話），但是后半句的從句用的是事實(shí)語氣，因?yàn)椤案改覆×恕笔强陀^事實(shí)，故不需要用虛擬形式had been。
四、含蓄虛擬條件句
含蓄條件句是指句中沒有明顯的虛擬條件句，而是利用其他手段來暗示存在虛擬條件。但是這類隱含式虛擬條件句往往都可以轉(zhuǎn)化為if引導(dǎo)的條件句。常來表示含蓄虛擬條件的手段有：
（1）介詞或介詞短語，如but for, but that, without, in case of, under more favorable condition等。
the leadership of the party, we could not be living a happy today.=If there hadn’t been the leadership of the party, we could not be living a happy today.
A. In spite of B. But for C. Because of D. As for 答案選B。
But that she was afraid, she would have said no.
(2)連詞，如：so that, unless, in case, supposing, lest, provided(倘若……)，for fear that(唯恐)，in order that, on condition that, if only(要是……就好了)等。
She listened carefully in order that she might discover exactly what he wanted.=if she listened carefully ,she might discover exactly what he wanted.
If only I had more money, I could buy a car.
(注：lest, for fear that 和 in case 引起的從句中謂語動詞多用should+動詞原形，但可以不用虛擬語氣，而用動詞的陳述語氣形式。)例如：
The foreign teacher spoke slowly in case we misunderstood him. 這位外籍教師說得很慢以免我們聽不懂。
Care must be taken in using this method lest overflow should occur.在使用此法時(shí)要小心謹(jǐn)慎，以免會發(fā)生溢流現(xiàn)象。
（3）通過上下文及內(nèi)在含義，句中往往有but, otherwise, unfortunately等類似轉(zhuǎn)折詞。
I thought the children when we returned home, but they were still awake.
A. were sleeping B. would be sleeping C. had been sleeping D. would sleep選擇 B。
(4)形容詞及其比較級
A more careful person would not have made so many mistakes.
A less conscientious man wouldn’t have tried so hard to get this job done.
(5)分詞短語
Having known in time, we might have prevented the accident.
Born ten days earlier, the boy could have seen his late father.
(6)動詞不定式短語。一般intended/meant/hoped/wished/planned 或 was/were+不定式完成式或had intended/meant/planned/hoped/wished/+不定式一般式表示虛擬。
I intended I should call on you, but I was busy at that time.
To hear him speak French, you would take him for an Englishman.
She would be stupid not to accept his invitation.
It would be easier to do it this way.
(7)名詞短語和名詞+and結(jié)構(gòu)
A judicious man would not have committed suicide.
A diligent student would have worked harder.
(8)獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)
All things considered, the price would be reasonable.
(9)定語從句
Anyone who had been in your position would have done the same.
A nation, which stopped working, would be dead in a fortnight.
(10）情態(tài)動詞完成式暗示虛擬語氣：
I should have called to make an airline reservation, but I didn’t.
The porter ought to have called the fire-brigade as soon as he saw the fire in the stock, which went up in smoke.
(11)動詞原形表示虛擬
動詞原形直接用在句子中也被看作是一種虛擬，常見于正式文體中，動詞原形一般用在條件從句中，有時(shí)倒裝置于句首，同時(shí)這種用法也常見于獨(dú)立句中表達(dá)愿望。
God bless you!
All magnets behave the same, be they large or small.
She’ll be sixteen years odd, com May.(come May =when May come).
If that be so, we shall take action at once.
