試題分析：句意：--莉莉，你為什么那么沮喪？--我差點(diǎn)就贏了比賽了，要不然的話我將贏得10000美元的獎金了。這里是虛擬語氣，從lost可以看出是對過去的虛擬，所以應(yīng)該用would have done，故選B。
點(diǎn)評：本題難度適中。虛擬語氣是高中階段的重要語法項(xiàng)目，需要考生牢記各種情況的虛擬語氣的謂語動詞的形式，并要有分析理解語境的能力。
即學(xué)即練：I’m surprised that he _____ in the exam.
A. should fail               B. would have failed 
C. may have failed          D. should have failed
解析:D。句意:我很吃驚他竟然在考試中失敗了。
