　　【典型例題】

　　1. —Do you think he will do me a favor ?

　　—As far as I know, he is the last one to help others. He _____ be prepared to give you a hand, though.

　　A. might B. must C. can D. should

　　分析：本題考查情態(tài)動詞推測性用法。 根據(jù)he is the last one to help others.(他是最不可能幫助別人的人)，既然如此，那么“幫助你”的可能性也就最小了。 答案為A

　　2. —Look, someone is coming. Guess who it ____ be ?

　　—I think it ___ be Tom.

　　—I don’t think it ___ be ____ .

　　A. can ; must ; can ; he B. may ; can ; must ; him

　　C. must ; can ; must ; his D. might ; must ; can ; himself

　　分析：根據(jù)備選答案。 can表示推測時用于疑問句或否定句中。本題首句就應該是Guess who can it be? 第二句應該是I think it must be Tom.(說話人十分肯定)。第三句表達了說話人對前一個人的否定。即：I don’t think it can be him/he.(不可能是他)。答案為A

　　3. —Do you know Ms. Wang likes walking after supper ?

　　—Sure. She ____ around the campus now.

　　A. must be walking B. must walk

　　C. may walk D. may be walking

　　分析：關鍵詞Sure告訴我們說話人的口氣十分肯定。根據(jù)句子語境：她此刻肯定正在校園散步呢。must be doing表示肯定正在做。答案為A

　　4. —I stayed at a hotel in New York.

　　—Oh, did you ? You _____ with Barbara.

　　A. could have stayed B. could stay C. would say D. must have stayed

　　分析：首句說：我在紐約住在一家賓館里。在此a hotel是泛指。所以D選項不合題意。第二句在說：你本來可以和Barbara.住在一起的。Could have done表示：本來可以。答案為A

　　5. Why didn’t you tell me there was no meeting today ? I _____ all the way here through the heavy snow.

　　A. needn’t have driven B. can’t have driven

　　A. mustn’t leave B. shouldn’t have left

　　C. couldn’t have left D. needn’t leave
