Answer

C

【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意：如果你上学时努力学习，现在就是大学生了，将来会找到一个好工作。从句是对过去的假设用过去完成时，而主句是对现在和将来的假设用would+原形，故选C。

【名师点睛】

虚拟条件句中，主、从句的动作若不是同时发生时，要区别对待。

①从句的动作与过去事实相反，用过去时态的虚拟结构过去完成时；而主句的动作与现在或现在正在发生的事实不符，用现在时的虚拟形式would do。如：

If I had worked hard at school, I would be an engineer, too. 如果我在学校学习刻苦的话，我现在也会是工程师了。

If they had informed us, we would not come here now. 如果他们通知过我们的话，我们现在就不会来这里了。

②从句的动作与现在事实相反，用现在时的虚拟形式过去时；而主句的动作与过去事实不符，用过去时态的虚拟结构would have done。如：

If he were free today, we would have sent him to Beijing. 如果他今天有空的话，我们会已经派他去北京了。

③从句的动作与过去发生的情况相反，用过去时态的虚拟结构过去完成时；而主句的动作与现在正在发生的情况相反，用现在时的虚拟形式would do。如：

If it had not been raining too much, the crops would be growing much better. 如果天不下太多的雨的话，庄稼会长得更好。

本题是第一种用法，从句的动作与过去事实相反，而主句的动作与现在或现在正在发生的事实不符，所以从句用过去完成时形式，主句用现在时和将来时形式。
