嘿，终于又让我找到一题虚拟语气主从句不一致的。清飞扬和裤裤版主来看~ prep 08 217.(T-3-Q17) (天山-7-14)Not one of the potential investors is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merger agreement is signed that includes a provision for penalties if the deal were not to be concluded. A.is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merger agreement is signed that includes a provision for penalties if the deal were B.is expected to make an offer for buying First Interstate Bank until they sign a merger agreement including a provision for penalties if the deal was C.is expected to make an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until a merger agreement be signed by them with a provision for penalties if the deal were D.are expected to make an offer for buying First Interstate Bank until it signs a merger agreement with a provision for penalties included if the deal was E.are expected to be making an offer to buy First Interstate Bank until they sign a merger agreement including a provision for penalties if the deal were 题目释义：Not one of n.s is expected to do sth. until a MA is signed that includes a provision for penalties if the deal were not to be concluded. 考点： 主谓一致（agreement）习惯用语（idiom） 1. (not) one of the+名词复数+单数形式谓语；Not one of =none of。 2. 虚拟语气：与将来事实相反，条件从句的谓语be动词一律用were to+动词原形。 3. 被动语态未必比主动语态差，被动语态有其特殊功能，比如可以避免写出动作发出者来避免错误或累赘。
(A)选项分析： A.Correct；a merger agreement引导的句子并不是if the deal were的主句，If the deal were中的If可以理解为“in case (that)”，后接虚拟语气，由此可见虚拟条件句不一定非要虚拟主句才能使用（if the deal were这个用法其实也和if any类似，作为独立成分出现在句中）；a merger agreement is signed that includes中that没有直接与a merger agreement相邻而且跳过了谓语动词修饰，这说明关系代词短距离跳跃指代是允许的 B.表示动作的目的用to do比for buying更好，表示一个动作趋向；they无指代；虚拟语气用用was错误 C.be signed时态错误；with a provision修饰be signed，意思成了需要一个条例来规范”签署”这一动作，而不再是签署有这一条例的协议；them和an offer单复数不匹配，一个投资者只能有一个offer，并不需要写出by them D.are错误，主谓不一致；For buying错误同B；虚拟语气用was错误；It无指代 E.are错误，主谓不一致；they和an offer单复数不匹配，一个投资者只能有一个offer，选项这么写好像在说只要一有投资者，那么所有的潜在投资者都要签署agreement，所以最好的写法是通过被动语态来避免直接写出动作行使者
Allen's work is a rather extreme example of the "country community" schoolof seventeenth-century English history whose intemperate excesses in removing all national issues from the history of that period have been exposed by Professor Clive Holmes. 这句子忒繁复…… 号称不惧长难句的我在阅读中间楞是没看懂，杨鹏精神在在哪里？！
