略to。
We should not be producing compliant students who do not dare (to) criticize.
我们不应当把学生培养成不敢批评的唯唯诺诺的人。

【解析】考查含有情态动词的被动语态。句意:然而,虽然一包香肠能便宜几美分是件好事,但如果有时

sausages。在情态动词could 后动词应用原形。故填be offered。

【答案】be done

【答案】wouldn’t be
【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意:如果我没有面对那么多的障碍,我现在就不会在这里。分析句子成分可知,

become more involved.

表明”时,后接宾语从句应用陈述语气。
It is suggested that the meeting should be put off till next week.

as soon as possible.
【答案】(should) be discussed
【解析】考查虚拟语气和被动语态。句意:我的建议是这个问题应该尽快在会议上讨论。分析句子结构可
知,“suggestion(建议)”后接表语从句时,从句需用虚拟语气,其结构为“(should) + 动词原形”,其中
should 可省略。再结合语义,the problem 与discuss 之间是被动关系,因此需用被动语态(should) be
discussed。故填 (should) be discussed。
2.
The expert suggested that if students (pay) more attention to accumulating English
vocabulary in daily life, their reading comprehension ability would improve significantly.
【答案】paid
【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意:专家建议,如果学生在日常生活中能更加注重积累英语词汇,他们的阅读
理解能力将会显著提高。that 后的内容为宾语从句,是expert 当时所建议的具体内容。该宾语从句又是一
个含条件状语从句的主从复杂句,其主句中使用了would do 结构,且其所表述的内容是一个假设性的、与
现在事实(专家提建议时)相反的情况,空处应使用一般过去时,表示对现在的虚拟。pay 的过去式为
paid。故填paid。
3.
I have worried before I came to the new school, for my classmates here are very friendly to
me.
【答案】needn’t
【解析】考查情态动词。句意:在我来到新学校之前,我本不需要担心,因为我的同学对我很友好。此处
考查needn’t have done,意为“本不必做(却做了)”。设空处应填情态动词的否定形式needn’t。故填
needn’t。
4.
But for the abundant English reading materials provided by the school library, the students
(broaden) their horizons and improved their reading speed significantly last semester.
【答案】 wouldn’t have broadened
【解析】考查虚拟语气用法。句意:上个学期,如果不是学校图书馆提供的丰富的英语阅读资料,学生们
的视野不会有很大的开阔,阅读速度也不会有很大的提高。分析句子可知,该句“but for”(要不是、若
非)是虚拟语气的标志词,后接名词短语(此处“the abundant English reading materials”),表示“与事实
相反的假设”(即“如果没有学校图书馆提供的丰富英语阅读材料”);时间状语“last semester”(上学
期)明确表示 与过去事实相反的虚拟语气场景。虚拟语气句式结构(与过去事实相反)。主句结构为主
语 + could/would/should/might + have + 过去分词,此处主句谓语需用“wouldn’t have broadened”表示“不
会扩大”,语义成立。故填wouldn’t have broadened。
6.
(2026·陕西省西安高新第一中学月考)It is desired that accurate and timely weather warnings
(transmit) to all coastal communities before the storm arrives.
【答案】should be transmitted/be transmitted
【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意:希望在风暴到来之前,准确及时的天气警报能被传送到所有沿海社区。
“It is desired that...”是固定句型,意为“希望
”,其中
……
that 引导的主语从句要用虚拟语气,即谓语动词
用“(should)+动词原形”;transmit(传送)是主语从句中谓语,与主语weather warnings 之间是被动关系,用
虚拟语气,即(should) be transmitted。故填(should) be transmitted。
