问题 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。
