答案与解析
Ⅰ. 1. B 句意:“他必须过来亲自签署这份文件吗?”“是的,必须。”must可以表“推测”或“必须”,当表示“必须”时,肯定答语也必须用must。
2. B 句意:“机场附近的很多房子都被风摧毁了。”“哦,那场风一定很大。”can表示实际的可能性时,常用于否定句和疑问句中,用于否定句时,意为“不可能”;must表示接近事实的肯定推测,用于肯定句;need表示“需要”;should表推测时常表示“合乎情理的事或结果”。故选B。
3. A 句意:如果你只读了这篇文章的一部分,你怎么能说你真正理解了整篇文章呢?can“能,能够”,表吃惊。
4. A can’t表示不可能;must not表示禁止;won’t表示不愿或不会;may not表示可能不。根据语境及答语中的“I’m sure”,表示答话的人肯定那个人不是他/她的老板。
5. D 句意:当我们在那个村庄生活的时候,我们经常一起在那里的河里玩耍。would在此表过去习惯性的动作。
6. A 本题考查情态动词的用法。句意:事实证明世界经济的发展不是一方胜出另外一方失败的游戏,而是所有参与者都有可能是赢家的游戏。can表示在逻辑上具有某种可能性。
7. A 本题考查情态动词。句意:你不可以让窗子开着,天太冷了。mustn’t绝不可以;needn’t不必; mightn’t可能不;won’t不必。结合句意知选A。

12. A shall用于第一、三人称疑问句中,表示说话人征求对方的意见或向对方请示。
13. D must表示推测,用于肯定的陈述句中,表示有一定事实根据的推测,意为“一定;肯定”;should表示根据常理、常规或对一般情况的推测,意为“应该会”;can表示逻辑上、理论上的可能性。句意:冬天来了,春天还会远吗?此处为理论上的推测,故选D。
14. C 原题中的could不是过去式,而表示一种委婉、客气的礼貌用语。因此用could提问时,用can回答。同样用would,might提问时,用will和may回答。

答案与解析
Ⅰ. 1. B 句意:我们学校禁止学生吸烟,也就是说,我们不被允许在学校抽烟。
2. C 分析句意,并且看空格前的不定冠词可知,空格处应填入可数名词单数,表示“许可证”的意思。
3. B 句意:我们有可能及时赶到那里吗?There is no possibility that…是固定句型,意为“……没有可能”。Is there any possibility that…?意为“有可能……吗?”
4. A 本题考查固定句型。进一步分析,该句型中的that引导的从句为possibility的同位语从句,没有含义,只起连接作用。而其他选项都有一定的含义,故都不合适。
5. A 句意:出席晚会的人都是他的支持者。
6. C 分析句子可知,空格处应填入状语,虽然所给选项都可以作状语,但只有C项与句意相符,意为“不久”。
7. B 本题除了考查ready的搭配用法外,还考查go on的搭配用法。在四个选项中,D项不能用于句中的语境;A、C两项与go on连用时表示“继续做同一件事情”,而本题表达的是两件不同的事情,应用“go on to do sth. ”结构。
8. B can表示“可以”。
9. D can表示可能性。
10. C can’t have done表示“不可能做了某事”。
11. B allow后可跟宾语补足语,其他三个词均不可以这样用。
12. B A、C、D三项后应接双宾语,即应去掉介词with。
13. D permission作“准许”讲时为不可数名词,故B项错误,A、C两项错误。
14. B 从后一分句的句意可判断出前一分句表示“他一定是完成了工作”。故选B项。
15. A 由答句中的“I am not sure”可判断空格处需要填一个表示“可能”的情态动词。
16. B 由于must在句中不表示“必须”而表示推测,故反意疑问句中不用mustn’t,而用didn’t。
17. D may用于推断,可能性比must小。
18. A can用于疑问句中表示推断。
19. C possible和probable都不能用作sb. 作主语时的表语,D项要用certain才对。
20. C must have done表示对已经发生了的动作的推测,意为“一定是做了某事”。
21. C shall用于第三人称表示命令、警告、允诺或威胁。
22. A 在表示推测时,must只用于肯定式,can用于否定的推测,表示“不可能”。
23. D should表示主观上的应该。
24. D might表示语气的不肯定,可用于肯定式或否定式,但语气都较弱。
Ⅱ. 1. should/ought to have arrived
2. must have cleaned 3. Can you hold your breath
4. (should) set off/out 5. should forgive
6. mustn’t laugh at 7. will float 8. can’t turn up
