  3.用“may+动词原形”表示“祝愿”,may 必须置于句首。如:

  May you be happy! 祝你幸福!

  May you succeed! 祝你成功!

  二、虚拟语气用于主语从句

  在It is necessary (important, natural, strange, etc) that...和It is desired (suggested, decided, ordered, requested, proposed, etc.)句型中,谓语动词的虚拟语气结构用“should+动词原形”的结构,表示惊奇,不相信,惋惜,理应如此等。如:

  迈克坚持说他没有偷任何东西。

  The expression on his face suggested that he was very angry.

  他脸上的表情说明他很生气。

  四、虚拟语气用于表语从句、同位语从句

She glanced again at the quilt, thinking how 21 her grandmother would have been with her 22.

  Just then, from the back, another person shouted“$125!” She had lost her 23. Suddenly she couldnt help wondering why so many people 24 be interested in that old, torn, dirty quilt. The quilt was sold for $ 500 to a complete 25.

  Ⅲ. 阅读理解

  A

  Each nation has many good people who help to take care of others. For example, some high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages or homes for the aged. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems. Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up, or repair their houses, do their shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers. Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or learn crafts. Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls. Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.
