(单选题)
—How dangerous it was!
—Yes, but for the passer-by’s quick action the girl______.
A.was drowned
B.could have been drowned
C.had drowned
D.should be drowned
参考答案:B
参考解析:
考查含蓄虚拟语气。句意:“多么危险啊!”“是的,要不是过路人的快速反应,女孩就会被淹死了。”but for意为“要不是”,相当于“if it hadn’t been for the passer-by’s quick action”,表示和过去事实相反的情况,主句用could have done,the girl和drown是被动关系。故选B。
