(单选题)

Without the hotline in 2020, never in my life ______ so many people to actually pick up the phone, dial a number and record themselves for the world to hear.

A.would I expect

B.I would expect

C.would I have expected

D.I would have expected

参考答案：C

参考解析：

考查否定词或否定结构位于句首的倒装和含蓄虚拟语气。句意：如果没有2020年的热线，我一辈子都不会想到会有这么多人真的拿起电话，拨打一个号码，录下自己的声音，让世界听到。根据句意和Without可知，此处为含蓄虚拟语气，表示对过去的虚拟，应用would have done；never为否定意义的词，位于句首时，后面句子需要进行部分倒装。故选C。
