情态动词和虚拟语气
(共3组，每组限时8分钟)

A．shall　　　　　　　　　 B．can
C．may D．need
解析：选B　考查情态动词。句意：父母们在做他们力所能及的事来帮助他们的孩子实现他们的夙愿。完整形式为“Parents are doing all they can do to help their children achieve their ambitions.”其中they can do是定语从句，修饰先行词all; to help their children achieve their ambitions是目的状语。由于主句中出现了实义动词doing，所以省略了从句中的do。故答案为B。

A．needn't B．can't
C．won't D．shouldn't

解析：选C　考查dare的用法。句意：那个小孩晚上不敢独自外出，所以那晚他不敢在黑暗中行走。dare既可作实义动词，也可作情态动词，作实义动词时，一般用dare to do sth.，在否定句和疑问句中to可省略，作情态动词时，后接动词原形。分析各个选项可排除A、B两项，再根据句中的that night可知，第二空应用一般过去时，排除D项。
13．(2013·济南一模)They advocate the proposal we were opposed ________ rediscussed at the next meeting.

A．should B．must
C．could D．might
解析：选B　考查情态动词。句意：“她看上去很开心。她一定是通过了考试。”“我想是吧。毕竟考试不难。”四个备选项都可以用来表示推测，must语气最强，然后是should, could, might语气最弱。根据语境，说话人推测她通过考试是有一定的理由的，即她看起来很开心，因此推测时很有把握，故用must。

13．But for the help of the kind policeman, we ________ our way to the hotel in this foreign city.
A．wouldn't find B．wouldn't have found
C．would find D．would have found
解析：选B　句意：要不是有那位好心警察的帮助，在这座陌生城市我们就找不到通往这家旅馆的路了。此处为but for引导的含蓄条件句，由句意可知是对过去情况的虚拟，主句谓语应用“would/should/could/might＋have done”结构，另外结合语意可知应用否定式，故选B。
14．His pale face suggested he ________ angry and I suggested that he ________ at once.
A．should be; should leave B．was; left
C．was; leave D．be; left
解析：选C　考查虚拟语气。句意：他的苍白的脸色表明他很生气，我建议他马上离开。第一空suggest表示“暗示，表明”不用虚拟语气，按照时态一致的原则用一般过去时；第二空suggest表示“建议”，后跟虚拟语气，从句谓语动词用“should＋动词原形”，should可以省略。
15．________ for the fact that she broke her leg, she might have passed the exam.
A．Hadn't it been B．Had it not been
C．Was it not D．Were it not
解析：选B　句意：要不是她摔断了腿，她可能就通过考试了。根据题干中的broke, might have passed可推知设空处为与过去事实相反的虚拟语气。与过去事实相反，if从句谓语动词应为“had＋过去分词”，故排除C、D两项；如果虚拟语气的if从句为否定句，省略if时，只需将助动词、were或情态动词提前构成倒装，而否定词not需保持在主语之后，故排除A项。
