答案及解析:
1. B。从He is a man of keeping his word中可以看出,李林肯定已经出发来参加聚会了,这是对已经发生的事情非常肯定的推测,故用must have done。注意must表推测时,不能用于否定句和疑问句中。
2. C。此题考查以情态动词提问的一般疑问句的回答。在英语中,以某些情态动词提问的句子,出于礼貌委婉或句意的需要,回答时,要换用另一个情态动词。在回答must开头的一般疑问句时,肯定回答用must,否定回答用needn’t或don’t have to;在回答may开头的一般疑问句时,肯定回答用may,否定回答用mustn’t;在回答need开头的一般疑问句时,肯定回答用must,否定回答用needn’t。
3. B。根据题意,此处需要表示“推测”的否定结构,故can’t为正确答案。
4. A。这是一个省略句,couldn’t have done表示对过去发生的动作的否定推测,意为“不可能……”。
5. B。这是一个综合题。本题so that后的目的状语从句中的谓语动词要用“情态动词( may / might / can / could ) + 动词原形”。When to expect us表示“我们什么时候可到达”。“疑问词+不定式”结构在句中作know的宾语。
6. B。由sometimes可知,此处应用表示可能性不大的情态动词,即may。
7. B。由后句可知,这是对过去发生的事情的肯定推测,故B项正确。
8. B。but for的意思是“要不是”,语法功能上等同于if 引导的否定虚拟条件句,因前句中How dangerous it was可知应与过去事实相反。
9. C。mustn’t表示“不准许”,may表示可能性,所以C正确。
10. C。句意:她或许到过那里,或者……。or ... 是重要的信息,说明还有其他的可能性。A的说法太绝对,与or ... 提供的信息冲突。
11. A。must表示的把握最大,may表示有可能,need不表示推测,will表示将来。根据句意可知A正确,表明对对方的不理解和责备,语气比较坚决。
12. C。shouldn’t have done 表示“本不该做……,但实际上却做了”。
13. A。疑问句中可以用can, 肯定句用must。
14. B。will + have done,表示对将来必然进程的猜测。
15. A。should 表示主观性猜测,译为“应该”。
16. C。can’t 表示否定的猜测,侧重于主观判断,译为“决不会;不可能”。
17. D。should表示劝告某人应该做某事。
18. A。need引导的一般疑问句,肯定回答应用must。
19. A。Shall I ... ?是征求对方意见时常用的句型。
20. B。should have done表示“过去某件事应该做而实际上没有做”,此处含有责备之意,也可用ought to have come。
21. D。反意疑问句中,当must作“必须”解时,可以用needn’t / mustn’t构成附加疑问句。
22. A。反意疑问句中,陈述部分的must表示对现在情况推测时,附加疑问句中通常依据must后面的动词形式确定助动词。
23. D。反意疑问句中,陈述部分的谓语有ought to 时,附加疑问句中应用shouldn’t 或oughtn’t。
24. C。反意疑问句中,陈述部分的谓语有used to 时,附加疑问句中应用didn’t 或usedn’t。
25. A。ought to 的否定式是ought not to。
26. C。Would you please ... ?是向对方提出请求或询问时常用的婉转而有礼貌的句型。
27. A。主语是第三人称时,shall表示说话人给对方的“允诺;命令;指示;意愿”。
28. B。在It is important / impossible / necessary that ... 句型中,that从句的谓语用“( should + ) 动词原形”。
