C. must have had D. might have had
【解析】选D。考查虚拟语气。句意：如果他们知道接下来的事，他们或许(经过考虑后)会改变想法。本句是条件句的虚拟语气，省略了if。根据Had可知此处是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，主句应用would/could/might+have+done。故选D。【方法技巧】虚拟条件句if的省略
虚拟条件句中有had, should, were时，可以将if去掉，然后把had, should, were提到主语前面。
If time were to go back/Were time to go back, I would work double hard.
如果时间能倒流，我会加倍努力工作。4. (2012·江苏高考)—Happy birthday!

Dear Richard,
I want to tell you a strange thing. It was cloudy that evening. I was riding through a small dark alley after evening class when a strong light shone me. I tried to see it clearly. Then I found out that it was a triangle flying machine which I was sure I had never seen before. Not until a small yellow creature with three eyes came out did I realize what had happened. The creature looked like the alien in the famous movie ET. I was not able tosay a word. “Is it an alien? ”I asked myself. Then the creature asked me how to get to the biology museum. I can’t remember what I said to him, but I remember that he smiled at me, saying goodbye politely. Do you believe me? I can’t believe my eyes and ears, either. It may sound amazing, but it did happen that evening. Perhaps, with the development of science it will become obvious whether aliens exist in the world.
Yours,
Li Hua【名师点评】

情态动词+have done【温故知新】

恐龙可能已经停止了进化, 不能适应气候的变化。
②They ______ _____ _____ each other.
它们可能已经杀死了对方。mayhavestoppedmighthavekilled【考点诠解】
情态动词是高中英语语法的一个重要部分, 而“情态动词+have done”结构表示推测、情感及其在虚拟语气中的应用则是对此知识点考查的一个重点和难点。
该结构一般有三个主要用法: 1. 表示对过去发生的动作或状态的推测或估计:
(1)must have done表示对过去事情的肯定推测, 译成“一定做过某事”, 该结构只用于肯定句。
It _____ _____ ______ last night, for the ground is wet.
昨晚一定下雨了, 因为地面还是湿的。musthaverained(2)can’t/couldn’t have done表示对过去事情的否定推测, 译成“不可能做过某事”。
Mr Smith _____________ _____ _____ to Beijing, for I saw him in the library just now.
史密斯先生不可能去北京了, 我刚才还在图书馆见过他。
(3)can have done表示对过去行为的怀疑, 用于疑问句, 译成“可能做过……吗?”。
There is no light in the room. ____ they _____ _____ out?
屋里没有灯光, 他们可能出去了吗?can’t/couldn’thavegoneCanhavegone(4)may/might(not)have done表示对发生过的事情的推测, 意思是“可能已经(没有)做过某事”, 用于肯定句或否定句中, might与may意思相同, 但might表示的可能性更小。
—What has happened to George?
—I don’t know. He ____ ______ _____ ___ lost.
——乔治发生了什么事?
——我不知道, 他可能迷路了。may/mighthavegot【悟一悟 ? 参透误区】
表示推测过去某动作发生的可能性时, 就表示的可能性程度而言, must最大, could其次, may更次之, might最小。2. 表示对过去情况的后悔、遗憾或责备。
(1)could have done表示过去能做而没做的事情, 意思是“本来能够做某事(而没有做)”, could不能用can代替(肯定句)。
He _____ _____ ______ the exam, but he was too careless.
他本来能够通过考试, 但是他太粗心了。
(2)might have done表示本来应该或可以做某事, 含有轻微的责备语气(肯定句)。
He ______ _____ _____ you more help, even though he was busy.
他或许会多给你一些帮助, 尽管他很忙。couldhavepassedmighthavegiven(3)should/ought to have done意思是“本来应该做某事, 而实际没做”, 表示责备或遗憾。
Tom, you are too lazy. The work ______ _____ _____ _______ yesterday.
汤姆, 你太懒惰了, 这项工作本来应该昨天就做完的。
(4)shouldn’t have done表示“本来不应该做某事, 而实际做了”, 含有指责对方或自责的含义。
Look, Tom is crying. I _________ _____ _____ so strict with him.
看, 汤姆哭了, 我本来不应该对他如此严厉。 shouldhavebeenfinishedshouldn’thavebeen(5)needn’t have done表示“本来不需要做某事而做了”。
I _______ _____ _______ so much wine—only five people came.
我本来没有必要买这么多酒, 只来了五个人。needn’thavebought【辨一辨 ? 明晰异同】用didn’t need to do或needn’t have done完成下列句子。
①You _______ _____ _______ the flowers, for it is going to rain.
你本不必浇那些花, 因为就要下雨了。
②I ______ _____ __ ___ the grass myself. My brother did it.
我用不着自己修剪草坪。我的兄弟修剪过了。needn’thavewatereddidn’tneedtocut3. 用于虚拟语气: would/should/could/might have done用于与过去
事情不符的虚拟语气的主句当中, 意思是“本来会/应该/能/可以做
某事”。
I ______ _____ ____ you all about the boy’s story, but you didn’t
ask me.
我本来会告诉你这个小男孩的故事, 但是你没有问我。wouldhavetold【典题体验】
根据汉语释义, 使用恰当的情态动词完成句子。
①(2015·福建高考)—Sorry, Mum!I failed the job interview again.
—Oh, it’s too bad. You _______ have made full preparations.

我的书《哈迪斯之屋》不见了, 谁有可能拿走了呢?

昨晚我本应去参加堂兄的生日晚会, 但是我没空。
【解析】would have gone。根据句中last night及but可知本应表示的是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气; 根据句意应填would have done的形式。【真题备选】
根据汉语释义, 使用恰当的情态动词完成句子。
①(2015·重庆高考)Without his wartime experiences, Hemingway _______ his famous novel A Farewell to Arms.
如果海明威没有战争经历的话, 他就不会写出著名的小说《永别了, 武器》。
【解析】wouldn’t have written。此处表示对过去发生的事情的虚拟, 介词短语without. . . 相当于if he hadn’t had his wartime experiences, 故主句谓语要用wouldn’t have done。②(2014·安徽高考)People are recycling many things which they _______ away in the past.
人们正在循环利用许多过去他们本来将会扔掉的东西。
【解析】would have thrown。根据in the past可知, 这里说的是过去的情况, 对过去情况的推测应使用“情态动词+have done”的形式。根据句意应使用情态动词would。③(2013·四川高考)—Why are your eyes so red?You _______ have slept well last night.

Have you ever heard about“the wild man”of Shennongjia?
Shennongjia lies in the remote western Hubei Province. In fact, for many years, there have been legends saying that“the wild man”appears from time to time. In several sightings, “the wild man”with reddish brown hair is found to be over two meters high and walk upright. Further evidences of“the wild man”were collected, such as his hair, footprints and wastes. For many years, Chinese scientists have been exploring in Shennongjia, hoping to throw light on what animal the mysterious creature is. So far whether there is“the wild man”in Shennongjia hasn’t been proved yet, but some scientists guess it may be a kind of ape-like primate, an animal which is similar to human beings. 【策略点拨】
