What shall I read
…you can get ideas from different sources…
You could also read book reviews in newspapers in magazines or online.
Teachers in particular can provide suggestions for interesting reading materials that can be found in the library or bookshop easily.
A book review can also tell you whether a book is worth reading or not.
…what books you ought to read.
However, you must also decide for yourself what kind of books to read.
You do not have to read a book just because everyone recommends it.
You might have asked yourself this question more than once.
These ideas should point you in the right direction.
…you may find yourself better able to seek out books to your taste…
Working out the rules
Model verbs can express ability or necessity. They can also make suggestions or describe the probability of an event. The same modal verb can have different functions.
Modal verbs can be followed by _____________.
You can choose more than one answer for the blank.
a do(the base form) d be done(the passive voice)
b doing(the verb-ing form) e be doing(the continuous form)
c did (the past form) f have done (the perfect form)
a, d, e, f
情态动词是一种本身有一定的词义,表示说话人的情绪,态度或语气的动词,但不能单独作谓语, 只能和其他动词原形构成谓语。

B2 Below is an entry in a student’s reading plete the entry with the correct model verbs in brackets.
When my English teacher suggested that I read Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, I thought, “I (1) (can’t/shouldn’t) read this! It (2) (has to/must) be very boring.” Surprisingly, it turned out the exact opposite. I (3) (could/might) not stop turning the pages!
The book’s main character is Scrooge, a rich but mean old man. He hates all kinds of celebrations. On Christmas eve, he is transported to different points in his life by three spirits. In the end, he reflects on these moments and realizes his mistakes. Then he decides that he (4) (might/must) change himself. On Christmas morning, he sends a large turkey to a poor man for Christmas dinner. He also tries to make his family and friends happy by spending time with them.

易 错 防 范
1.误用情态动词
典例1 John,look at the time. ________ you play the piano at such a late hour
易错警示:此题易误填need。解题时要注意语境,体会语气。
答案:Must 句意:约翰,看看时间。这么晚了你偏要弹钢琴吗?从说话人的语气判断,含有不满之意。must在此表示特定的语气和态度,意为“偏要,硬要”。
典例2 I ________ have been more than six years old when the accident happened.
易错警示:此题易误填mustn't。mustn't意为“一定不能,被禁止”,不能与have done连用。
答案:couldn't 句意:在事故发生时我不可能超过6岁。shouldn't have done表示“本来不该做而实际上却做了”,needn't have done表示“本来不必做而实际上却做了”,均不符合题意。
2.虚拟语气
典例3 ________it snow, the crops would grow better.
易错警示:与将来事实相反的虚拟语气,if从句中情态动词只用should,不用would,might,will。
答案:Should 句意:如果下雪的话,这些庄稼会长得更好。本题考查与将来事实相反的if条件句,if从句的谓语动词形式为:①过去式;②should+动词原形;③were to+动词原形。
1. can & could
1. 表能够做某事(具备某种能力);could主要指过去能够;
Two eyes can see more than one.
Could the girl read before she went to school

3. 用于肯定的陈述句中,表示理论上或习惯上的可能性。
表示猜测,意为“可能”,一般用于疑问句和否定句(could是过去时);若用于肯定句中表常有的行为和情形,意为“有时会/可能”。
As we all know,anyone can make mistakes.
My mom can be stubborn sometimes.
That can’t be Kelly—she’s in New York. (“不可能是”)
4. 习惯用法“cannot...too...”表示“无论怎样……都不过分,越……越好”。有时cannot可用can never替代。

What shall we do this weekend

Must you interrupt me now Can’t you see I’m busy
6. need & dare
1. need 和dare可以作实义动词或情态动词。作情态动词时,后跟动词原形,表示“需要,有必要”,无人称和数的变化,多用于否定句、疑问句或条件句中。
I dare not walk through the woods at night.
You needn’t go there now.
Need I hand in the paper now
2. 作实义动词时,同其他实义动词一样,可用于各种句式,有时态、人称和数的变化,构成否定句和疑问句时要借助于助动词。在否定句和疑问句中不定式符号to也可以省略。
You don’t need to be so worried. You need to be more careful.
They don’t dare (to) make a sound while their parents are sleeping.
