29、据but可知此处用ought to haveought to have done表示(过去)本该做却未做；B.have to不得不；C.should应该，表现在或将来之意；D.must have(done )(过去)一定做了某事。2Do you know Herbie？Im always running into him；he_live nearby.Awould BneedCmust Dshould答案 C 考查情态动词。句意：你认识Herbie吗？我总是遇见他，他肯定住在附近，表示比较肯定的推测用must。3_a little earlier this morning！I missed t
30、he bus by only a minute and waited half an hour for another.AIf I had got up BIf I got upCIf only I had got up DIf only I got up答案 C 句意：今天早晨我如果早点起床的话就好了！那辆公共汽车我只耽误了一分钟，等另一辆车等了半小时。根据第二句可知第一句是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，所以空格处的谓语动词应用had done；if only.相当于how I wish.，意为：要是的话就好了，但愿。4Mum，would you please buy me an MP5 pla
31、yer?If you can help do some housework the whole vacation，you_have one as a reward.Amust BneedCwould Dshall答案 D 句意：妈妈，你能给我买一个MP5吗？如果整个假期你能帮着做家务的话，你可以得到一个(MP5)作为奖励。shall此处表允诺。must必须，need需要，would愿意，均不符合语境。5What happened to the young trees we planted last week?The trees_well，but I didnt water them.Amigh

34、；另外，从句表示对过去已经发生的事情的虚拟，谓语动词要用had done的形式，因此C项正确。8_it rain tomorrow，we would have to cancel the football match.AWere BWouldCWill DShould答案 D 考查虚拟语气和倒装语序。句意：如果明天下雨，我们将不得不取消足球比赛。前半句是对将来情况的虚拟，正常语序是“If it should rain tomorrow”。省略if后，要将should提到主语之前，引起倒装。9I actually believe that we_in Xian now if you hadnt
35、been caught drunk driving last month.Awould be Bwould have beenCwere Dhad been答案 A 考查虚拟语气。句意：事实上，我认为如果上个月你没因酒驾被逮住的话，我们现在就在西安呢。if从句中的时间状语为过去时间(last month)，而主句的时间状语为now，所以主句是对现在事实的虚拟，应为would be。本题为“错综时间虚拟条件句”。10The weather turned out to be fine.I_the trouble to carry the umbrella with me.Ashould have
36、taken Bneednt have takenCmustnt have taken Dcould have taken答案 B 句意：结果天气不错，我本不必费那么大劲带着雨伞的。根据turned可知是叙述过去的情况，根据语境可知用neednt have done本不必做却做了；A表示本该做却没做；D表示本来能够，C项形式不正确。11We would appreciate it if you could stay for lunch.Sorry，I_.I have another appointment.Awont BshantCcant Dmustnt答案 C 考查情态动词用法。根据下文“I
