选择题
Even if you had not been able to see her, you ______ us.
A.told
B.had told
C.should tell
D.should have told
答案
答案:D
题目分析:考查虚拟语气的用法。由had not been able 可以看出条件状语从句是对过去的虚拟,主句没有自己的时间状语从语义上看也是对过去的虚拟,所以谓语动词应该是should have done句意:即使你见不着她,你也应该告诉我们一声。故选D; should也可用ought to,“should have done”表示本应该做某事却没做。
点评:本题难度适中。本题should have done表虚拟及含有责备对方的意思,学生对should这一用法容易理解。
