问题    Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conform with the opinion【S1】________
which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by
himself；had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that
clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has
embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have the【S2】________
most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited. But although
he at different times, in a desultory manner, committed to write many【S3】________
particulars of the progress of his mind and fortunes, he never had
persevering diligence enough to form them into the regular composition. 【S4】________
Of these memorials a few have been preserved；but the great part was【S5】________
consigned by him to the flames, a few days before his death.
    As I had the honour of enjoying his friendship for twenty years；as
I had the scheme of writing his life constant in view；as he was well【S6】________
apprised by this circumstance, and from time to time obligingly satisfied【S7】________
my enquiries, by communicating to me the incidents of his early years；
as I acquired a facility in recollecting, and was very assiduous in
recording, his conversation, of what the extraordinary vigour and【S8】________
vivacity constituted one of the first features of his character；and as I
have spared many pains in obtaining materials concerning him, from【S9】________
every quarter where I could discover that they were to be found, and
have been favoured with the most liberal communications by his friends；
I flatter myself that few biographers have entered into upon such a work【S10】________
as this, with more advantages；independent of literary abilities, in
which I am not vain enough to compare myself with some great names
who have gone before me in this kind of writing.  [br] 【S2】
选项
答案 have∧—had
解析 虚拟语气错误。此处意为“如果他在记录自己的历史时使用了让许多杰出人物不朽的清晰的叙述和优雅语言，那么这个世上可能就会有一份在已被展示的传记中最完美的范例”。此句为与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，应该采取从句为had done而主句为would have done的模式。因此后句中缺少了实义动词have的过去完成时had。
