问题 This method saved half the labor that will be needed to move all the books downstairs.
选项 A、would need
B、would be needed
C、would have needed
D、would have been needed
答案 D
解析    (1)画线部分错误分析。
   本题考查含蓄式虚拟语气的用法。题干中的that从句表示与过去事实相反的情形，应当选用表过去时间的虚拟语气；此外，that引导的定语从句，其先行词为labor，它在从句中作主语，根据句意，定语从句应选用被动语态。
   (2)选项分析。
   根据上述分析，that从句中谓语动词应当用被动语态，由此可知选项A和选项C不可选；would be needed是表示对现状的虚拟，因而选项B可排除；根据句意需要选用表示过去的虚拟形式would have been needed，因此选项D正确。
   【知识拓展】语法拓展：含蓄条件句。
   很多情况下，在表示假设的虚拟语气中，有时假设的条件并不以条件从句的形式表达，而是通过上下文或句中内在的逻辑关系，或用其他形式表达出来，我们称之为“含蓄条件句”。含蓄条件句主要通过名词、连接词、不定式、分词、动名词短语、介词短语及分句来暗示。常用来表示虚拟条件的介词有with，without，in，under, but for等，它们表示的虚拟条件都可以被if从句替换。
   e．g．Without air, there would be no living things．(without air=if there were no air)
   没有空气，便没有生物。
   But that I saw it(=If I had not seen it)，I could not have believed it．
   要不是亲眼所见，我是不会相信的。
   Seen from a high mountain(=If it were seen from a high mountain)，the field in which wheat is growing would look like a great green sea．
   倘若从高山上看，麦田就像一片碧绿的大海。
   An honest man would not say this．(=If the man were honest，he wouldn’t say this．)
   诚实的人不会说这种话。
