【答案与简析】
1.C表示有把握的否定推测用can’t(不可能)。must(一定)只能表示有把握的肯定推测,不能用于否定推测,mustn’t(千万不,不许)是表示禁止。
2.C由后面的but分句可知是把握性不大的推测,所以用may。
3.D情态动词加完成式表示对过去情况的推测,在疑问句中表示推测只能用can。
4.B 表示“本来不必做某事但却做了”,用needn’t加完成式。
5.D needn’t不必;may加完成式表示对已发生事情的猜测,意为“可能已经……”。
6.C may / might as well 是固定结构,意思是“还是/ 还不如……的好”
7.C must在问句中意为“必须”,在答句中意为“硬是要”“偏要”。
8.C don’t have to=needn’t不必。(from www.nmet168.com)
9.A would表示过去反复发生的动作,现在可能仍然在进行;used to 表示过去常常,但现在已经不再发生的动作。
10.B shall可在任一人称的陈述句中表示说话人或作者的允诺、决心、警告、命令、恫吓、强制等。
11.B could与完成式连用表示“本来可以做某事但却未做”,是对过去未实现动作的遗憾。
12.C can与感官或知觉的动词see, hear, understand, imagine等连用,在此句中可译作“可以”,有时不必翻译。
13.A ought to / should与完成式连用表示“本来应该做某事但却没做”,对其一般疑问句的简短回答是ought to / should have。
14.C will表示某种倾向或目前的习惯性,意为“总是,惯于”。(from www.nmet168.com)
15.D could have done表示一种与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,句意是“如果再多给点时间的话,我还可以做得更好”。
