Question

Albert Einstein often stressed to interviews that his accomplishments would certainly have been achieved by other ( )lived.
A.had he never B.he had never
C.never had he D.never he had

Answer 1

1.答案：A.
2.翻译：阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦经常对采访者强调说,如果他没有取得那些成就的话,别的人也会取得（那些成就）的.
3.
1）此题考查if引导条件状语从句的虚拟语气的省略和倒装语法.
2）宾语从句that his accomplishments would...中,含有一个以if引导的条件状语从句,只不过省略了if.
3）该宾语从句采用了虚拟语气,因为是对过去动作的虚拟,所以if从句采用过去完成时had done sth,而主句采用would have done sth.
而如果从句含有had,则可以把had提前,并省略if.
即：his accomplishments would certainly have been achieved by others (had he never lived).
= his accomplishments would certainly have been achieved by others (if he had never lived).
