A. Would you be B. Should you be     C. Could you be  D. Might you be

【解析】当if引导的条件状语从句中含有should时，可以将if省略，而将should移至句首构成倒装句。又如：If you should not wish our agent to call, please let us know. = Should you not wish our agent to call, please let us know. 你若不希望我们的代理人去造访，请告知。

32. I won’t tell the student the answer to the math problem until he _______ on it for more than an hour. (2006湖北卷)

A. has been working                         B. will have worked

C. will have been working                D. had worked

【答案】A。

【考点】考查动词时态。

【解析】has been working 为现在完成进行时，是许多中学生不太熟悉的一种时态，因此要想通过分析句子直接从正面选出答案可能有一定困难。但是，如果我们用排除法来分析，则问题变得很简单：首先，由于until引导的是时间状语从句，根据“主将从现”原则，当主句为将来时态时，时间状语从句不能直接用将来时态来表示将来意义，据此可排除B和C; 而选项D为过去完成时，也不能选，因为“过去完成时”必须以“过去”为支点，表示“过去的过去”，但此句并没有过去时态这一支点，故此选项也被排除。

A. that it is            B. to be                  C. that it has been  D. to have been

【答案】D。

【考点】考查非谓语动词用法。

【解析】“某人(某物)+is said+不定式”是一个很有用的句式，其意为“据说”，又如：The company is said to be in trouble. 据说这家公司遇到了困难。再根据句中的over the past few years可知，不定式要用完成式。
