答案
感悟高考
1.A [句意为:我本不应该看那部电影——它会给我带来噩梦。由破折号后的内容来判断,其前内容为“不该做某事而做了”。shouldn’t have done sth.本来不该做某事却做了;needn’t have done sth.本来不必做某事却做了;couldn’t have done sth.为否定推测,表示“不可能做过某事”。]
2.A [句意为:马克本没有必要那么急,全速开车后他提前了半个小时到达。根据句意和前后的照应可知应选A项。A项表示“本没有必要”;B项意为“不会”;C项表示“不允许”;D项表示“不可能”。显然,B、C、D三项与后文论述不符。]
3.A [句意为:要耐心。你不能期望世界会这么快地改变。can’t不可能,不能;needn’t没有必要;may not可能不;will not将不会,不会。根据句意知选A项。]
4.B [句意为:——我还没有弄到参考书,但是下个月我将参加这门学科的测试。——不要担心,到星期五时你就有了。could能够;shall在句中表示“允诺”;must必须;may也许,可以。]
5.D [句意为:——我可以把这本书带出阅览室吗?——不可以,你一定不能带出去。你就在这里读。mustn’t表示强烈地禁止。]
领悟语法
一、1.can 2.shouldn’t 3.shall 4.must have left
5.must
二、1.C [needn’t表示没有必要;mustn’t表禁止。句意为:事实上,你根本没有必要出去,楼下就有一个超市。]
2.A [由“I’m feeling...”的时态可知,应该说的是现在的事情,所以要用“情态动词+动词原形”,根据句意可知应该多穿点衣服。]
3.A [由did可知是对过去发生的事情进行猜测,要用“情态动词+现在完成时”,由I don’t know可知该推测不那么的肯定,所以选A,表示“当我出去时她可能来过”。]
4.B [由“Alice looks sad”可知我本不应该在期末考试前告诉她这个事故的。]
5.B [由第一句的时态可知事情发生在过去。对过去的事情进行猜测,要用“情态动词+现在完成时”,故选择B;must表猜测时不用在否定句中。]
6.D [由yesterday evening可知事情发生在过去,对过去的事情进行猜测,要用“情态动词+现在完成时”。must have done sth.意为“肯定做过某事”;should have done sth.意为“本应该做而未做某事”。]
7.D [由“As it turned out...”是对过去的事情进行推测可知,要用“情态动词+现在完成时”;needn’t have done意为“本没必要做却做了”。句意为:这么小的一个家庭聚会,我们本没必要正式化妆的。]
8.D [由last week可知是过去该做某事而未做,故用“should/ought to+have done sth.”。]
9.D [句意为:近来交通拥挤,我可能会晚一点到,你能给我占个位子吗?表示不确定的推测用might。can表示“可能”,把握性比might大;must表示“肯定”,是非常接近于事实的推断;need表示“必要,需要”,三者均与句意不符。]
10.A [shall用于第二人称表示警告。]
