答案简析:
1、根据They were already five people in the car, but they managed to take me as well.一句中的时态,应该是对过去情况的推测判断,因为车上已经有5位人了,在带上我一个,可以断定这一定是一次不舒适的旅行。所以,本句表达的是对过去否定的推测判断,应该用can’t/ could have done来表达。故答案选D。

3、本句表达的是对过去发生过的情况的疑问,所以应该用could have done,答案选C。
4、本句表达的是过去已发生情况否定的推测判断,应该用couldn’t have done,故答案选D。
四、含有must/ may/ might表示对过去情况推测判断的句子,如果变成反意疑问句,反意疑问句中动词应与情态动词must等后的动词形式保持一致,用一般过去时或现在完成时。例如:
He must have been living here for years, hasn’t he?
他一定是在这儿住了好几年了,是吗?

你昨天晚上没睡好,是不是?

2. He must have lived a happy a few years ago, ____ he?
A. didn’t B. hasn’t C. mustn’t D. can’t
答案简析:
1. 含有must表示推测判断的句子,其反意疑问句的动词形式应与must后动词时态保持
一致。可以理解成如果不表示推测判断,该句应该说成:Great changes have taken place in the village in the past few year. 变成反意疑问句后应该说成:Great changes have take place in the past few years, haven’t they? 所以,该题选B。
2. 本句中must后的动词形式应为did,所以,反意疑问句的动词应为didn’t。故答案选A。
五、should/ ought to have done表示“本来应该做的,而实际上没有做的事情”,其否定形式则表示“已经做了不该做的事情”,含有责备的意思。例如:
The flowers have died. I should have watered them often.
这些花儿都死了。我本来应该常给他们浇水的。(其实没浇水)
You ought not to have told them the truth.
你本不应该告诉他们真相的。(其实你告诉他们了)
