Ambulance (救护车)1. _______ for your help, we’d never have been able to overcome the difficulties.
A. Had it not B. If it were not
C. had it not been D. If we had not been
易错选项：B
解析：本题测试虚拟条件句的倒装。根据句意，句子前半部分应为：If it had not been for your help (=If you hadn’t helped),当虚拟条件句中的谓语动词含有were, had, should时，可以省略if，并将were, had或should移至主语的前面。
2. The mad man was put in the soft-padded cell lest he _______ himself.
A. injure B. had injured
C. injured D. would injure
易错选项：D
解析：本题测试由lest引导的状语从句中的虚拟语气。虚拟语气可用lest, for fear that, in case引导的状语从句中表示“以防”“以免”之意。其形式为“should+动词原形”。例：I always speak slowly lest I should be misunderstood. 但以lest, for fear that引导的状语从句中的should可以省去，而in case引导的状语从句中也可以不用虚拟语气而用陈述语气。例：Take your raincoat in case it rains. 答案：A
3. If we had been more careful, we ______ much better result now.
A. would be getting B. would have got
C. got D. had got
易错选项：B
解析：本题主句中would后加不定式的进行式，可以使动作各个加生动形象。 答案：A
