Answer 1

A

试题分析：考查情态动词用法。Should have done本应该做某事，实际上却未做；根据后面的did说明是对过去发生的情况的推测。句意：怀特先生本应该在8点30来参加会议的，但是他没有出现。故A正确。 点评：本题是高考必考考点，一定要牢记句型意思。must have done过去肯定做了某事。should have done 本应该做而实际未做。can’t have done 过去不可能做了某事；shouldn’t have done 本不应该做而实际做了。 need have done 本有必要做某事；needn’t have done 本没有必要做某事；注意没有 mustn’t have done的形式。
