真題測試 測試語言點：must have done表示對過去已發(fā)生事情的推測

It was very kind of you to do the washing-up, but you____it. (1998年6月CET4，第44題)

A. didn't have to do

B. wouldn't have done

C. mightn't have done

D. mustn't have done

答案：選A

分析：特別注意本題選項中設(shè)置了一個陷講——B選項wouldn't have done，稍不注意就容易落人虛擬語氣的圈套，而本題只是簡單地表達(dá)“沒有必要”的意思，所以選A didn't have to do 相當(dāng)于needn't have done .
