Answer 1

B

試題分析：句意：--為什么Clair 沒有申請(qǐng)這份工作？她本來能夠申請(qǐng)的。--如果她的女兒不生病她就申請(qǐng)了。這里could + have done可表示對(duì)過去能做而未做的事感到惋惜、遺憾，可譯成“本來是可以……的”。 通常用于肯定句。第二空是虛擬語氣，根據(jù)if后的從句的謂語動(dòng)詞也能看出這是對(duì)過去的虛擬，所以主語應(yīng)該用would have done ，故選B。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題較難。情態(tài)動(dòng)詞的完成式是高中階段的重難點(diǎn)之一，需要考生熟記它們的用法，在各類考試中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)，它主要用于表示對(duì)過去情況進(jìn)行推測(cè)或責(zé)備等。虛擬語氣是高中階段的重要語法項(xiàng)目，需要考生牢記各種情況的虛擬語氣的謂語動(dòng)詞的形式，并要有分析理解語境的能力。把兩者結(jié)合在一起考查更增加了試題的難度。
即學(xué)即練：Why did you stay at a hotel when you went to New York? You ________ with Barbara.
A. might have stayed        B. could have stayed
C. should have stayed       D. must stay
解析：B。句意：你到紐約時(shí)為什么住賓館？你完全可以和芭芭拉住在一起的。
