Thanks for your directions to the house; we wouldn’t have found it ___. A． nowhere B．however C．otherwise D．instead

Answer 1

C

试题分析：由后句情态动词完成否定式wouldn’t have found可知是对过去发生情况的一种反面虚拟。otherwise要不然，因此C选项正确。nowhere没什么地方；however然而；instead代替 均不符合题意。句意为“ 感谢你告诉我们怎么去那栋房子。要不然那时我们可找不到的。” 【知识拓展】 信息隐含句式中的虚拟语气的表现手法（即含蓄条件句中的虚拟语气）有①with, without和but for介词短语代替了条件状语从句时所隐含的虚拟语气 如：Without your aid，they couldn’t have finished the task ahead of time.② otherwise, or, or else, but等副词、连词或独立主格结构，代替了条件状语从句时所隐含的虚拟语气 如：I would have gone to my cousin’s birthday party last night, but I was not available.
