第二、时态和虚拟语气的结合 例1、If the weather had been better, we could have had a picnic. But it ___ all day.
（08全国卷II ） A. rained B. rains C. has rained D. is raining 正确答案为：A 例2、If Newton lived today, he would be surprised by what_____in science and technology. （07天津） A. had discovered B. had beee discovered C. has discovered D.has been discovered 正确答案为：D 例3、—If the traffic hadn’t been so heavy, I could have been back by 6 o’clock.. ___What a pity!
