18．If only I ________ at the party last night！But I had to prepare for the conference. A．were

B．had been

D．was

C．have been 【答案】B

【解析】if only要是……就好了，表达要用虚拟语气，根据句中的时间状语last night，可以看出是对过去的虚拟，所以时态要用过去完成时had done，故选B。

19．Had it not been for your practical advice，we______such great achievements. A．would make B．wouldn’t have made C．didn’t make D．hadn’t made 【答案】B

【解析】此处是对过去的虚拟，从句省略if，并将had置于句首构成部分倒装，主句应用“would have done”，再根据句意“我们本不会取得这么大的成就”，可知选B。

20．The teacher agreed to the suggestion that the students ____ two weeks to prepare for the exams. A．give

B．be given

C．should give D．would be given 【答案】B

【解析】句意为：老师赞同这个建议：给学生两周的备考时间。名词suggestion后的同位语从句要用虚拟语气，其虚拟形式为“(should＋)动词原形”，又因为students与give之间为被动关系，故谓语需用被动形式，选B。
