The highest compliment anyone could pay anyone else when I was growing up in England in the 1980s was “skill” (as in “man, your new skateboard is so skill”), and nobody was more skill than Diego Armando Maradona. His name 12 as the highest form of praise, on the soccer field and elsewhere (“man, your new skateboard is so Maradona”). Then I saw him score against Italy in the 1986 World Cup, leaping several feet into the air outside the left edge of the six-yard box to tap the ball deftly over the outstretched right leg of the Italian captain, past the outstretched arms of the keeper, and into the bottom right-hand corner of the goal. It was evident that Maradona was not merely skillful, but skill 13 . The next time Maradona scored was June 22, the day Argentina played against England. The two nations had last clashed four years earlier, not on a soccer field but in the Falklands War. By the time Britain had retaken the islands from Argentina, more than 900 men (most of them Argentines) had lost their lives. The victory saw Margaret Thatcher’s popularity soar in Britain; in contrast, the defeat 14 the downfall of the right-wing military junta that had ruled Argentina since 1976. All that was ancient history four years later. Maradona scored both of Argentina’s goals in a 2-1 victory over England. The second of them, 11 dazzling seconds of superhuman skill, was voted Goal of the Century in 2002. When Maradona executed an exquisite arabesque, stretching his right leg elegantly behind him, I would not have been surprised if he 15 into the air and started flying. He appeared to be moving through a different 16 from the England players, who came to tackle him only once he was already past them. It’s amazing!

思路引導 VIP
請觀察主句中「would not have been surprised」這個結構，它所描述的時間點是在「現在」還是「過去」？再者，作者描述球員「飛向天空」這件事，是當時真實發生的狀況，還是一個超現實的想像呢？

太棒了！你的語感非常精準
- 觀念驗證：這題考查的是「與過去事實相反」的假設語氣。從主句的結構
would not have been可以清楚判斷，作者是在回憶 1986 年的世界盃往事。當我們針對「過去已發生（或未發生）的事實」進行超現實的假設時，if子句必須使用過去完成式，即 $had + V_{pp}$，因此 (A)had taken off是唯一正確的選擇。 - 難度點評：本題難度為 medium。它的鑑別度在於學生是否能從上下文判斷出這是一個「假設」而非「敘述事實」，並精確對應假設語氣的時態公式，而非誤選一般過去式。
