Question

问两道英语选择题

1._________for my savings, I wouldn't be able to survive these miserable days.
A. Was it not B.Were it not C.Had it been not D.Hadn't it been

2.Alarm clocks needlessly wake ________ households. I want to design something targeted at the individual sleeper.
A.whole B.total C.full D.high

Answer 1

第一题选b
是虚拟句，按照主句来看是现在时的虚拟（因为主句时态是would be，而不是would have been ,所以排除c和d。 又因为is的虚拟比较特殊，不是用was,而是用were.所以选b~~

第二题选a
whole households就是全家人的意思了~~
你就这么想把~ total的意思是一样一样总共，full得用法是什么什么满了~ high..我觉得就没什么联系的。。。
而houshold就是一家人的意思，所有用whole最好~

Answer 2

1C.Had it been not 表示对过去的虚拟用过去完成时。 全句意思。 如果不是因为我过去的积蓄我现在就不能度过这些艰难的日子。

A.whole whoe households全家人。闹钟不必叫醒全家人，我想设计一种单独叫醒睡觉人的钟。

Answer 3

1. B.Were it not (与现在事实相反的假设，省略if的倒装句，原句是：If it were not for my savings,I wouldn't be able to ...)
2.B.total 所有家里人

Answer 4

1 D.
混合虚拟语气，意为：要不是我的积蓄（肯定是以前的），我现在就不能（表现在）
2. B
total ：全部的
用whole需加the
