考古Form14-Q6

[himorgan]

Few baskets made by Sourthern California Indians would have survived to the present had it not been for enthusiastic collectors at the turn of the century.
(A)had it not been for
(B)unless there had been
(C)without the fact that there were
(D)were it not due to
(E)except that there were

誰能幫忙解釋一下

[GoldDigger]

我選A....對不對呢~~

[cocaine]

A 比較ok

題目句意簡單就要找跟過去事實相反

句意就是說若以前那些收藏家沒收集的話,印地安族群所做的籃子就會遺留至今.

[Pudding]

我選A, had it not been for此處是個倒裝...

[willy57]

考假設法 – 與過去事實相反
→ （A）= if it had not been for
→ （B）虛字不選（there be）
→ （C）the fact that永遠不選
→ （D）與現在事實相反
→ （E）不含假設法

unless用在條件句型（對未來的猜測）。
現在以及過去時間的猜測要用if。

Oxford

Unless is used to talk about a situation that could happen, or something that could be true, in the future. If you know that something has not happened or that sth is not true, use if … not: If you weren’t always in such a hurry (= but you are), your work would be much better.
