4. D.
   is

Answer 1

B
試題分析：考查虛擬語氣：在as if/as though引導的狀語從句中，謂語動詞多用倒退一個時間段的方式來表達虛擬語氣。和現(xiàn)在情況相反用一般過去時，和過去時間相反用過去完成式，這題因為主句是she speaks所以是和現(xiàn)在相反，用一般過去時，虛擬語氣中be動詞用were。句意：她說話的樣子好像她在現(xiàn)場。選B。
考點：考查虛擬語氣
點評：在as if/as though引導的狀語從句中用法：謂語動詞多用倒退一個時間段的方式來表達虛擬語氣。例如： The man speaks as if he were a foreigner./The speaker told us a lot about that country as though he had been there many times.注：as if/as though從句中不一定都要用虛擬語氣。如果情況真實性、可能性很大，就要用正常時態(tài)來描繪。例如：It looks as if it is going to rain.天看起來象要下雨。（下雨的可能性很大。）
