　　典型例題

　　There was plenty of time. She ___.

　　A. mustnt have hurried　 B. couldnt have hurried　　C. must not hurry　 D. neednt have hurried

　　答案D.neednt have done. 意為本不必，即已經(jīng)做了某事，而時實(shí)際上不必要。

　　Mustnt have done 用法不正確，對過去發(fā)生的事情進(jìn)行否定性推斷應(yīng)為couldnt have done, 不可能已經(jīng). must not do 不可以（用于一般現(xiàn)在時）。
