Question

Much as I would love ______ to the party yesterday, I didn’t because I had to prepare for the interview.

A. to go               B. going

C. to have gone        D. having gone

Answer

C

【解析】

试题分析：考查虚拟语气及句意理解。句意：尽管我很愿意去参加昨天的晚会，实际上我没有去，因为我不得不准备面试。本句考查的是不定式的完成时表示虚拟语气的用法，Would love to have done本来想要做某事，实际上未做。故C正确。

【名师点睛】

动词hope, think, want, expect, plan, intend, suppose, mean等表示过去未实现的愿望时，用过去完成时或由这些词后跟不定式的完成式构成的虚拟语气。如：

1. He failed the exam again though we all had expected him to pass it.

2. I had wanted to write (= I wanted to have written) to you earlier but you were too busy then.

3. We had thought of sending her a touring guide by mail before she managed to come.
