2019年mpa考试英语真题——虚拟语气739

{01}---I was trying to carry out the plan, but I failed.
---Well, you _________, for we were uncertain it would do ________. A.needn’t do that, in fact B.needn’t have done, in effect C.needn’t have, in practice D.needn’t, in time 解析：第一空考查needn’t have done“本不必做而做了”，第二空填词组in practise“实际上”，句意是：--我想实施计划，但失败了。--你本不必，因为我不确定是否它会付诸实施。因为上文有动词carry out，所以needn’t have done后面的done被省略了。选C。
本题选C。
{02}——Why are you late for the meeting?
—— I got caught in the heavy rain, or I _______ earlier. A.arrived B.had arrived C.would arrive D.would have arrived 解析：本题考查虚拟语气。本题可以转化为if条件从句的虚拟语气。这句话可改成: if I hadn’t gotten caught in the heavy rain, I would have arrived earlier。与过去事实相反，主句用would have + 过去分词。
本题选D。
