He told me that he couldnot go to sleep one night because he heard astrange noise coming from the bar. The nextmorning, he found that the doors had been blockedby chairs and the furniture had been moved. ThoughMr.Thompson had turned the lights off before hewent to bed, they were on in the morning. He alsosaid that he had found five empty whisky bottleswhich the ghost must have drunk the night before. When I suggested that some villagersmust have come in for afree drink, Mr.Thompson shook his head. The villagers havetold him that they will not accept the pub evenif he gives it away.

A. didn't have to do

C. mightn't have done
D. mustn't have done
答案：选A
分析：特别注意本題选项中设置了一个陷讲——B选项wouldn't have done，稍不注意就容易落人虚拟语气的圈套，而本题只是简单地表达“没有必要”的意思，所以选A didn't have to do 相当于needn't have done .
