A. would not have selected B. should not have selected

答案解析：

1. Abefore应该理解成“(几百年过去了,人们) 才……”; 如果用after应该是…after centuries passed they took note of the fact…; 如果用until, 应该是they didn’t take note of the fact that…until centuries passed。

2. B此句意为：“他明天去巴黎,加上这次, 他就去了二十次了。”根据句意,应用将来完成时态。句中有back一词, 故D不合适。

3. Bto use…, 不定式短语做way的定语, 只是因为定语太长,故将谓语前移,使句子避免头重脚轻。by using表示方式, 做状语用; using为动名词, 不能做way 的定语, way要求不定式做定语; used, 无论从语法结构上还是从意义上都讲不通。

4. A分词短语做伴随状语, my footsteps与echo的关系是主动的,因此用现在分词。另外, 分词做伴随状语表示与谓语动词的动作同时发生, 所以用其一般式。

5. A本句意为:“除了个人喜好外, 社会环境也会直接或间接地影响你使用的媒体和媒体的内容。例如, 家庭的其他成员常常选择的媒体内容你就未必选, 可是你也得使用。”句中暗含了 “如果是你, 你就不会选” 的意思, 所以用虚拟语气合适。should not have selected表示“本不应该选”; must not select表示“一定不要选”; cannot have selected表示“一定不能选”, 过于绝对。只有would not have selected 符合句意。

C. must not select D. cannot have selected
