【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：如果你当时听了我的劝告，你现在就知道如何解决这个问题了。此处是虚拟语气，if从句表示与过去的事实相反，用过去完成时。主句表示与现在的事实相反，用would/should/could/might+动词原形。故选B.

【点睛】虚拟条件句中，主、从句的动作若不是同时发生时，要区别对待。

①从句的动作与过去事实相反，而主句的动作与现在或现在正在发生的事实不符。如：

If I had worked hard at school, I would be an engineer, too. 如果我在学校学习刻苦的话，我现在也会是工程师了。此处从句指过去的事实，如果当初努力学习，主句和现在事实相反，指现在就是工程师了。

②从句的动作与现在事实相反，而主句的动作与过去事实不符。如：

If he knew her, he would have greeted her. 要是他认识她的话，他肯定会去问候她了。从句现在事实是他不认识她，主句与过去事实相反，指他没去问候。

③从句的动作与过去发生的情况相反，而主句的动作与现在正在发生的情况相反。如：

If it had not been raining too much, the crops would be growing much better. 如果天不下太多的雨的话，庄稼会长得更好。从句与过去相反指今年下雨很多，主句与现在情况相反指庄稼没有长好。
