The president thought it essential that the university ______ general education as a foundation for students’ future development.
A、 stresses
B、 stress
C、 stressed
D、 would stress
【正确答案】：B
【题目解析】：该题考查的是虚拟语气的用法。在it is +形容词+从句的句型中，当形容词为essential, necessary, important， imperative等类词时，后面的从句用虚拟语气，形式为should+动词原形，should可以省略，所以选项B为省略了should形式的虚拟语气形式。
