情态动词的意义和用法
情态动词从最普通的意义上来说,是修饰分句意义的一种方式,它可以反映说话者对其表述是否真实和可能的程度作出判断。但不同的情态助动词本身所包含的意义和用法又不同,下面逐个分析。
1) can和could的用法
1. 表示能力或客观可能性,还可以表示请求和允许。如:
Can you finish this work tonight
Man cannot live without air.
— Can I go now — Yes, you can.
注意:①could也可表示请求,预期委婉,主要用于疑问句,不可用于肯定句,答语应用can(即could不能用于现在时态的简略答语中)。如:
Could I come to see you tomorrow
Yes, you can. (否定答语可用No, I’m afraid not.)
②can表示能力时,还可用be able to代替。如:
I’ll not be able to come this afternoon.
2. 表示惊异、怀疑、不相信的态度。(主要用在否定句、疑问句或惊叹句中)
Can this be true
How can you be so careless!
This cannot be done by him.
3. “can(could) + have + 过去分词”的疑问或否定形式表示对过去发生的行为怀疑或不肯定。如: He cannot have been to that town.
Can he have got the book
2) may和might的用法
1. 表示许可。
表示请求、允许时,might比may的语气更委婉一些,否定回答时要用mustn’t表示“不可以”、“禁止”、“阻止”之意。如:
You may drive the car.
— Might /May I use your pen — Yes, you may . / No, you mustn’t.
2. 用于祈使句中表示祝愿。如:
May you succeed!
3. 表示推测、可能(疑问句不能用于此意)。
He may be very busy now.
4. “may(might) + have + 过去分词”表示对过去发生的行为的推测。如:
He may not have finished the work.
3) must和have to的用法
1. 表示必须、必要。如: You must come in time.
回答must引出的问句时,如果是否定的回答,不能用mustn’t,而要用needn’t或don’t have to。
— Must we hand in our exercise books today
— Yes, you must. (No, you don’t have to.)
2. “must be + 表语”的结构表示推测,它的否定或疑问式用can代替must。
This must be your pen.
3. “must + have + 过去分词”的结构常用在肯定句中,表示对过去发生的行为的推测。它的否定或疑问式用can代替must。
He must have been to Shanghai.
4. have to的含义与must相似,两者往往可以互换使用,但have to有各种形式,随have的变化而定。must表示的是说话人的主观看法,而have to则往往强调客观需要。
The play is not interesting. I really must go now.
I had to work when I was your age.
4) dare和need的用法
1. need表示“需要”或“必须”,作情态动词时,仅用于否定句或疑问句中,在肯定句中一般用must, have to, ought to,或should代替。如:
You needn’t come so early.
— Need I finish the work today
— Yes, you must.
注意:needn’t + 不定式的完成式“表示本来不必做某事而实际上做了某事”。如:
You needn’t have waited for me.
2. Dare作情态动词时,主要用于疑问句、否定句和条件从句中,一般不用在肯定句中。如:
How dare you say I’m unfair.
He daren’t speak English before such a crowd, dare he
3. Dare和need常用作实义动词,有时态、人称和数的变化,所不同的是,作实义动词时,在肯定句中,dare后面通常接带to的不定式,在否定和疑问句中,dare后面可接带to或不带to的不定式。如:
I dare to swim across this river.
He does not dare (to) answer.
Don’t you dare (to) touch it!
I wonder how he dared (to) say that to her.
He needs to finish it this evening.
5) shall和should的用法
1.Shall用于第一、第三人称疑问句中,表示说话人征求对方的意见或向对方请示。如:What shall we do this evening
Shall we begin our lesson
When shall he be able to leave the hospital Shall he wait outside
2.Shall用于第二、第三人称,表示说话人给对方命令、警告、允诺或威胁。如:
You shall fail if you don’t work harder. (警告)
He shall have the book when I finish reading. (允诺)
He shall be punished. (威胁)
3.Should表示劝告、建议、命令,其同义词是ought to;在疑问句中,通常用should代替ought to。如:
You should go to class right away.
Should I open the window
Should的含义较多,用法较活,现介绍三种其特殊用法。请看下面的句子:
1 I should think it would be better to try it again. 我倒是认为最好再试一试。
2 You are mistaken, I should say. 依我看,你是搞错了。
3 I should advise you not to do that. 我倒是劝你别这样做。
4 This is something I should have liked to ask you. 这是我本来想问你的。
从以上例句可以看出:情态动词should用于第一人称时可以表示说话人的一种谦逊、客气、委婉的语气。
Should还可以用在if引导的条件从句,表示一件事听起来可能性很小,但也不是完全没有可能。相当于“万一”的意思。从句谓语由should加动词原形构成,主句谓语却不一定用虚拟语气。如:
5 Ask her to ring me up if you should see her. 你万一见到她,请让她给我打个电话。
6 If you should change your mind, please let us know. 万一你改变主意,请通知我们。
7 Should I (If I should) be free tomorrow I will come. 万一我明天有时间,我就来。
此外,Why(or How) + should结构表示说话人对某事不能理解,感到意外、惊异等意思。意为“竟会”。如:
8 Why should you be so late today 你几天怎么来得这么晚?
9 — Where is Betty living — 贝蒂住在哪里?
— How should I know — 我怎么会知道呢?
10 I don’t know why you should think that I did it. 我真不知道你凭什么认为这件事是我干的。
另:“should + have + 过去分词”结构一般表示义务,表示应该做到而实际上没有做到,并包含一种埋怨、责备的口气。如:
She should have finished it.
I should have helped her, but I never could.
You should have started earlier.
6) will和would的用法
1. 表示请求、建议等,would比will委婉客气。如:
Would you pass me the book
2. 表示意志、愿望和决心。如:
I will never do that again.
They asked if we would do that again.
3. 用“will be”和“will(would) + have + 过去分词”的结构表示推测,主要用于第二、三人称。 This will be the book you want.
He will have arrived by now.
The guests would have arrived by that time.
4. Would可表示过去反复发生的动作或某中倾向。没有说明过去与现在对比的含义。如: The wound would not heal.
During the vacation he would visit me every week.
7) ought to的用法
1. Ought to表示应该。如:
You ought to take care of him.
2. 表示推测。注意与must表示推测时的区别:
He must be at home by now. (断定他已到家)
He ought to be home by now. (不十分肯定)
This is where the oil must be. (比较直率)
This is where the oil ought to be. (比较含蓄)
3. “ought to + have + 过去分词”表示过去应做某事而实际未做。如:
You ought to have asked him (but you didn’t).
这时,ought to和should可以互相换用。
注意:在美国英语中,ought to用于否定句和疑问句时,to可以省略。
8) used to,had better,would rather的用法
1. Used to表示过去的习惯动作或状态,现在已不存在,在间接引语中,其形式可不变。如:
He told us he used to play football when he was young.
在疑问句、否定句、否定疑问句或强调句中,可有两种形式:
疑问句 Did you use to go to the same school as your brother
Used you to go to the same school as your brother
否定句 I usedn’t to go there.
I didn’t use to go there.
Usedn’t 亦可拼作usen’t,但发音皆为[ju:znt]。
否定疑问句 Usen’t you to be interested in the theatre
Didn’t you use to be interested in the theatre
强调句 I certainly used to smoke, but it was a long time ago.
I certainly did use to smoke, but it was a long time ago.
其反意疑问句或简略回答中,也有两种形式:
She used to be very fat, didn’t she (正式)/ use(d)n’t she (口语)
Did you use to play chess Yes, I did.
Used you to get up early in the morning Yes, I did. (Yes, I used to.)
2. Had better意为“最好”,后接不带to的不定式。如:
— We had better go now.

Hadn’t we better stop now (Had we better not stop now )
I think I’d better be going. (用于进行时态,表“最好立即”)

强化练习1)选择填空部分答案解析
1. D. must表示推测时不用于否定句;shouldn’t have done sth. 表示“本不应该做某事而实际上做了”;needn’t have done sth. 表示“本来不必做某事而实际上做了”;couldn’t have done sth. 表示“不可能做过某事”。根据题意,选D。
2. A. 情态动词ought 后要接带to的不定式,ought to do 的否定式是ought not to do,所以答案是A。
3. A. must not always be doing sth. 表示“不要老是做谋事”,含有埋怨、指责、反感等感彩。
4. D. 题中的A项和B项都指现在情况;couldn’t have gone表示“不可能去过”;shouldn’t have gone表示“本不应该去而实际上去了”。根据题意,选D。
5. D. could have done sth. 表示“本来能够做某事而实际上未能做成”。
6. D. should可用于表示惊奇、感叹、不满等感彩的句子,如指过去的动作,则要用should have done sth. Would 和 may通常不带感彩。

8. B. must开头的疑问句,否定答语用needn’t或don’t have to。
9. C. would rather通常也视为情态动词(组),后接动词原形,其否定形式为would rather not。
10. D. need作为情态动词,其否定形式为needn’t;作实义动词时,其否定形式为don’t (doesn’t) need to do。
11. D. must用在肯定句中表推测时,语气比could, would等肯定得多。此处“must + 不定式进行式”表“想必正在……”之意。
12. A. would rather … than …,意为“宁愿(做)……而不(做)……”。
13. B. 由句意可知,这是对过去发生的事情不太有把握的推测。
14. D. needn’t have done意为“过去不必做而做了某事”。
15. D. should have done表示“过去应该做而没有做某事”。
16. C. can’t(不能),mustn’t(不准),may not(不可以),均不合题意。
17. D. don’t have to = needn’t
18. D. will用在第二人称的疑问句中,为询问(或征求)对方的意愿或向对方提出请求之意。

26. C. must have done用于对过去发生的事情进行推测,且较有把握。
27. C. 表示推测时,must比may语气肯定。
28. A. can表推测,只用于否定句和疑问句中。
29. D. must表示推测时,其后的反意问句有两种情况:①对现存状态(现在的事实)进行推测时,反意疑问句中动词用其一般现在形式。②对过去发生的事情进行推测时,若有表过去的时间状语,反意问句用动词的过去式。
30. C. needn’t have done表示“过去不必做而做了某事”,若表示“不必做某事(且实际上未做)”则用“didn’t / don’t / doesn’t need to.”
31. D. A表示“本能够”,B, C表“本应该”。
32. D. have to表示客观上要求做某事,must表示主观上认为必须做某事。

36. A. Let us中的us一般不包括对方在内。

39. C. used to do“过去(常)做某事”,be used to doing“习惯于做某事”。
40. D. would rather后接动词原形。Spend … on sth.为常用结构。

能力提升答案全解
1.C 从原题中You can keep it till next week if you like这一信息句可知,“你不必现在还”。
2.D 从原题中Where is my pen 这一信息句可告诉考生,“笔丢了”,丢的动作是过去发生的。因此用must + have done表示对过去事实的肯定猜测。
3.C 原题中的yesterday这一信息词告诉考生,在wish后的宾语从句中,用过去完成时,表示与过去事实相反的愿望。
4.B 从原题中的I didn’t hear the phone.这一信息可以判断出,用must have done表示过去事实的准确的肯定猜测。
5.A 从原题中last Saturday这一信息词可知,条件句中用表示与过去 事实相反的过去完成时,主句用would + have done。
6.A might have + 过去分词,在次是虚拟语气,表示“本来可以给你更多的帮助”,而事实则是帮助较少。
7.C 从原题中的yesterday这一信息词暗示考生,该句应选用与过去事实相反的过去完成时,If it had not been for … “要不是因为……”。
8.D 原题中的Without electricity相当于一个条件句:If there were no electricity,故主句用human life would be quite difficult today.
9.A can可以表示一种客观上的能力,本句can’t,表示“不能,不会”。
10.B 从原题总的“I wonder why she changed her mind”“我不知道为何他改变了主意了。”这句话告诉考生Janny没有守诺言。因此,用should + have done,表示“过去本应该做某事,而实际上没有做”。
11.C 可参看10题。意思是:“昨晚本应该学习,但是却去听音乐会了。”
12.C 原题中的could不是过去时,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,用will和may回答。[注意]①— Would you rather do such a thing — Yes, I would.
②— Would you like some tea — Yes, I would.
这两个对话中的would rather,would like是惯用法,故不能用will来回答。因为在这两个句型中,will不能去替换would。
13.A 可参看10、15题。该句意思是:“汤姆本来不该告诉我你的秘密,但他没有伤害你的意思。”ought not to have done = shouldn’t have done
14.B 从答语中的Luckily he was sent to the hospital immediately这一信息句可提示考生,条件句应填表示与过去事实相反的时态。
15.B 从原题中的but he isn’t very sure yet这一信息句可暗示考生,Peter当晚来的可能性不大。A是“准来,肯定来”,D是“将要来”。
16.C 可参看10、11、13题。“本应该”而事实上没有……
17.D 从原题中I didn’t see your sister at the meeting和后文she would have met my brother这两个信息句可知,if条件句中应填与过去事实相反的过去完成时。可参看6、7、14题。
18.A 你不必告诉他。因为I’ve told him already这一信息句已暗示考生了。
19.C 当as if引导虚拟语气的句子是,如果主句与从句中的谓语词所表达的动作同时发生时,as if后接一般过去时。例如:He walked as if he were lame.如果从句中的谓语动作发生个在主句谓语动作之前,则用过去完成时。例如:He talked as if he had known the secret.不论主句中的谓语是现在时还是过去时。
20.C 只要考生抓住nearly一词和后文at any moment(随时的意思)这两个信息词语,就能很快选出C项,表示逻辑推测,意思是“快七点钟了,杰克一会儿就该到了。”
21.D 根据句意,是对过去情况的推测。“当时决不可能是一次舒服的乘车。”must表示对过去的推测只能用于肯定句。
22.B mustn’t表示“禁止”;may表示“有可能”。句子的意思是:“你不可以玩刀,可能会伤你自己。”
23.D 该题在考考生could与was able to之间的区别。Was able to表示在困难的情况下,经过一番周折而“能……”,并且成功地做了。
24.B 该题考查情态动词should表推测的用法。Can和might都可以表示可能性,用might则语气更加不肯定。Need表示“需要”、“必需”。Should可以表示推测,结合实际,合乎逻辑,意为“应当”、“该”。根据第一个说话者说的I need them tomorrow afternoon的语境,可以确定正确答案为B。
25.A 该题在考查“情态动词+不定式的完成式”的用法,从会话的语境看,空白处应填“could + have +过去分词”表示过去本来能做到的事而事实上没有做到。
26.B 该题考查表示请求的英语口语,用will来向第二人称提问的疑问结构,是表达一种意愿和请求,是以疑问的形式来表达较为婉转的祈使语气,意思是“请你……,好吗?”,对于这种问句的肯定答语可用Sure! Certainly! Yes, of course. I’d be glad to等;否定回答通常是I’m sorry, I can’t. No, I’m afraid I can’t. I’m sorry, but … I ‘d like to, but …等。
27.D might表示“可能性”。
28.C 意思是“我会的”。对祈使句的肯定回答。
29.B shouldn’t have done为本来不该做某事,而事实上做了。
30.D 用may not可表示“可能不”。而can not则表示断然的否定推测“不可能”。A,C意思不符。

情态动词专题训练
概 说
助动词(auxiliary)主要有两类:基本助动词(primary auxiliary)和情态助动词(modal auxiliary)。基本助动词有三个:do, have和be;情态助动词有十三个:may, might; can, could; will, would; shall, should; must, need, dare, used to, ought to. 上述两类助动词的共同特征是,在协助主动词构成限定动词词组时,具有作用词的功能:
1) 构成否定式:
He didn’t go and neither did she.
The meeting might not start until 5 o’clock.
2) 构成疑问式或附加疑问式:
Must you leave right now
You have been learning French for 5 years, haven’t you
3) 构成修辞倒装:
Nowhere can he obtain any information about his sister.
Hardly had he arrived when she started complaining.
4) 代替限定动词词组:
A: Who can solve this crossword puzzle
B: Tom can.
A: Shall I write to him
B: Yes, do.
情态助动词的特征
基本助动词与情态助动词最主要的区别之一是,基本助动词本身没有词义,而情态助动词则有自己的词义,能表示说话人对有关动作或状态的看法,或表示主观设想:
What have you been doing since (构成完成进行体,本身无词义)
I am afraid I must be going. (一定要)
You may have read some account of the matter. (或许已经)
除此之外,情态助动词还有如下词法和句法特征:
1) 除ought和used以外,其他情态动词后面只能接不带to的不定式。如果我们把ought to和used to看做是固定词组的话,那么,所有情态动词无一例外地只能接不带to的不定式:
We used to grow beautiful roses.
I asked if he would come and repair my television set.
2) 情态助动词在限定动词词组总总是位居第一:
They need not have been punished so severely.
3) 情态助动词用于第三人称单数现在时的时候,没有词形变化,即其词尾无-s形式:
She dare not say what she thinks.
4) 情态动词没有非限定形式,即没有不定式、-ing分词和-ed分词形式:
Still, she needn’t have run away.
5) 情态助动词的“时”的形式并不是时间区别的主要标志。在不少场合,情态助动词的现在时和过去时形式都可以表示现在、过去或将来时间:
Would you mind very much if I ask you to do something
She told him he ought not to have done it.
6) 情态助动词之间是相互排斥的,即在一个限定动词词组中只能出现一个情态助动词,但有时却可以与have和be基本助动词连用:
You should have washed the wound.
Well, you shouldn’t be reading a novel.
现将情态助动词的各种形式列表如下:
肯定式 否定式 简略否定式
maymight may notmight not mayn’tmightn’t
cancould can not, cannotcould not can’tcouldn’t
will, ’llwould, ’d will not, ’ll notwould not, ’d not won’twouldn’t
shallshould shall notshould not shan’tshouldn’t
must must not mustn’t
need need not needn’t
dare dare not daren’t
used to used not to didn’t use(d) tousedn’t to
ought to ought not to oughtn’t to
情态助动词的意义和用法
情态助动词从最普通的意义上来说,是修饰分句意义的一种方式,它可以反映说话者对其表述是否真实和可能的程度作出判断。但不同的情态助动词本身所包含的意义和用法又不同,下面逐个分析。
1) can和could的用法
1. 表示能力或客观可能性,还可以表示请求和允许。如:
Can you finish this work tonight
Man cannot live without air.
— Can I go now — Yes, you can.
注意:①could也可表示请求,预期委婉,主要用于疑问句,不可用于肯定句,答语应用can(即could不能用于现在时态的简略答语中)。如:
Could I come to see you tomorrow
Yes, you can. (否定答语可用No, I’m afraid not.)
②can表示能力时,还可用be able to代替。如:
I’ll not be able to come this afternoon.
2. 表示惊异、怀疑、不相信的态度。(主要用在否定句、疑问句或惊叹句中)
Can this be true
How can you be so careless!
This cannot be done by him.
3. “can(could) + have + 过去分词”的疑问或否定形式表示对过去发生的行为怀疑或不肯定。如:
He cannot have been to that town.
Can he have got the book
2) may和might的用法
1. 表示许可。
表示请求、允许时,might比many的语气更委婉一些,否定回答时要用mustn’t表示“不可以”、“禁止”、“阻止”之意。如:
You may drive the car.
— Might I use your pen — No, you mustn’t.
用May I ... 征询对方许可在文体上比较正式,在口气上比较客气。在日常口语中,用Can I ... 征询对方意见在现代口语中更为常见。
2. 用于祈使句中表示祝愿。如:
May you succeed!
3. 表示推测、可能(疑问句不能用于此意)。
He may be very busy now.
4. “may(might) + have + 过去分词”表示对过去发生的行为的推测。如:
He may not have finished the work.
3) must和have to的用法
1. 表示必须、必要。如:
You must come in time.
回答must引出的问句时,如果是否定的回答,不能用mustn’t,而要用needn’t或don’t have to。
— Must we hand in our exercise books today
— Yes, you must. (No, you don’t have to.)
2. “must be + 表语”的结构表示推测,它的否定或疑问式用can代替must。
This must be your pen.
3. “must + have + 过去分词”的结构常用在肯定句中,表示对过去发生的行为的推测。它的否定或疑问式用can代替must。
He must have been to Shanghai.
4. have to的含义与must相似,两者往往可以互换使用,但have to有各种形式,随have的变化而定。must与have to有下列几点不同:
1 must表示的是说话人的主观看法,而have to则往往强调客观需要。如:
The play is not interesting. I really must go now.
I had to work when I was your age.
2 must一般只表现在,have则有更多的时态形式。
3 二者的否定意义不大相同。如:
You mustn’t go. 你可不要去。
You don’t have to go. 你不必去。
4 询问对方的意愿时应用must。如:
Must I clean all the room
4) dare和need的用法
1. need表示“需要”或“必须”,作情态动词时,仅用于否定句或疑问句中,在肯定句中一般用must, have to, ought to,或should代替。如:
You needn’t come so early.
— Need I finish the work today
— Yes, you must.
注意:needn’t + 不定式的完成式“表示本来不必做某事而实际上做了某事”。如:
You needn’t have waited for me.
2. Dare作情态动词时,主要用于疑问句、否定句和条件从句中,一般不用在肯定句中。如:
How dare you say I’m unfair.
He daren’t speak English before such a crowd, dare he
3. Dare和need常用作实义动词,有时态、人称和数的变化,所不同的是,作实义动词时,在肯定句中,dare后面通常接带to的不定式,在否定和疑问句中,dare后面可接带to或不带to的不定式。如:
I dare to swim across this river.
He does not dare (to) answer.
Don’t you dare (to) touch it!
I wondered he dare (to) say that.
He needs to finish it this evening.
5) shall和should的用法
1. Shall用于第一人称,表示征求对方的意愿。如:
What shall we do this evening
2. Shall用于第一、第三人称疑问句中,表示说话人征求对方的意见或向对方请示。如:
Shall we begin our lesson
When shall he be able to leave the hospital
3. Shall用于第二、第三人称,表示说话人给对方命令、警告、允诺或威胁。如:
You shall fail if you don’t work harder. (警告)
He shall have the book when I finish reading. (允诺)
He shall be punished. (威胁)
4. Should表示劝告、建议、命令,其同义词是ought to;在疑问句中,通常用should代替ought to。如:
You should go to class right away.
Should I open the window
Should的含义较多,用法较活,现介绍三种其特殊用法。请看下面的句子:
1 I should think it would be better to try it again. 我倒是认为最好再试一试。
2 You are mistaken, I should say. 依我看,你是搞错了。
3 I should advise you not to do that. 我倒是劝你别这样做。
4 This is something I should have liked to ask you. 这是我本来想问你的。
从以上例句可以看出:情态动词should用于第一人称时可以表示说话人的一种谦逊、客气、委婉的语气。
Should还可以用在if引导的条件从句,表示一件事听起来可能性很小,但也不是完全没有可能。相当于“万一”的意思。从句谓语由should加动词原形构成,主句谓语却不一定用虚拟语气。如:
5 Ask her to ring me up if you should see her. 你万一见到她,请让她给我打个电话。
6 If you should change your mind, please let us know. 万一你改变主意,请通知我们。
7 Should I (If I should) be free tomorrow I will come. 万一我明天有时间,我就来。
此外,Why(or How) + should结构表示说话人对某事不能理解,感到意外、惊异等意思。意为“竟会”。如:
8 Why should you be so late today 你几天怎么来得这么晚?
9 — Where is Betty living — 贝蒂住在哪里?
— How should I know — 我怎么会知道呢?
10 I don’t know why you should think that I did it. 我真不知道你凭什么认为这件事是我干的。
5. “should + have + 过去分词”结构一般表示义务,表示应该做到而实际上没有做到,并包含一种埋怨、责备的口气。如:
She should have finished it.
I should have helped her, but I never could.
You should have started earlier.
6) will和would的用法
1. 表示请求、建议等,would比will委婉客气。如:
Would you pass me the book
2. 表示意志、愿望和决心。如:
I will never do that again.
They asked if we would do that again.
3. 用“will be”和“will(would) + have + 过去分词”的结构表示推测,主要用于第二、三人称。前者表示对目前情况的推测,后者表示对已经完成的动作或事态的推测。如:
This will be the book you want.
He will have arrived by now.
The guests would have arrived by that time.
I thought you would have finished this by now.
4. Would可表示过去反复发生的动作或某中倾向。Would表过去习惯时比used to正式,并没有“现已无此习惯”的含义。如:
The wound would not heal.
During the vacation he would visit me every week.
5. 表料想或猜想。如:
It would be about ten when he left home.
What would she be doing there
I thought he would have told you all about it.
7) ought to的用法
1. Ought to表示应该。如:
You ought to take care of him.
2. 表示推测。注意与must表示推测时的区别:
He must be at home by now. (断定他已到家)
He ought to be home by now. (不十分肯定)
This is where the oil must be. (比较直率)
This is where the oil ought to be. (比较含蓄)
3. “ought to + have + 过去分词”表示过去应做某事而实际未做。如:
You ought to have asked him (but you didn’t).
这时,ought to和should可以互相换用。
注意:在美国英语中,ought to用于否定句和疑问句时,to可以省略。如:
Ought you smoke so much
You oughtn’t smoke so much.
8) used to,had better,would rather的用法
1. Used to表示过去的习惯动作或状态,现在已不存在,在间接引语中,其形式可不变。如:
He told us he used to play football when he was young.
在疑问句、否定句、否定疑问句或强调句中,可有两种形式:
疑问句 Did you use to go to the same school as your brother
Used you to go to the same school as your brother
否定句 I usedn’t to go there.
I didn’t use to go there.
Usedn’t 亦可拼作usen’t,但发音皆为[ju:znt]。
否定疑问句 Usen’t you to be interested in the theatre
Didn’t you use to be interested in the theatre
强调句 I certainly used to smoke, but it was a long time ago.
I certainly did use to smoke, but it was a long time ago.
其反意疑问句或简略回答中,也有两种形式:
She used to be very fat, didn’t she (正式)/ use(d)n’t she (口语)
Did you use to play chess Yes, I did.
Used you to get up early in the morning Yes, I did. (Yes, I used to.)
2. Had better意为“最好”,后接不带to的不定式。如:
— We had better go now.
— Yes, we had (we’d better / we had better).
Hadn’t we better stop now (Had we better not stop now )
I think I’d better be going. (用于进行时态,表“最好立即”)
You had better have done that. (用于完成时态,表未完成动作)
注:①had best与had better同意,但较少用。②You had better … 用于同辈或小辈,对长辈不可用。
3. Would rather意为“宁愿”,表选择,后接不带to的不定式。如:
I’d rather not say anything.
Would you rather work on a farm
— Wouldn’t you rather stay here
— No, I would not. I’d rather go there.
由于would rather表选择,因而后可接than。如:
I would rather work on a farm than in a factory.
I would rather watch TV than go to see the film.
I would rather lose a dozen cherry trees than that you should tell me one lie.
I’d rather you didn’t talk about this to anyone. (句中的’d rather不是情态动词,would在此是表愿望的实义动词)

12.C 原题中的could不是过去时,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,用will和may回答。[注意]①— Would you rather do such a thing — Yes, I would.
②— Would you like some tea — Yes, I would.
这两个对话中的would rather,would like是惯用法,故不能用will来回答。因为在这两个句型中,will不能去替换would。
13.A 可参看10、15题。该句意思是:“汤姆本来不该告诉我你的秘密,但他没有伤害你的意思。”ought not to have done = shouldn’t have done
14.B 从答语中的Luckily he was sent to the hospital immediately这一信息句可提示考生,条件句应填表示与过去事实相反的时态。
15.B 从原题中的but he isn’t very sure yet这一信息句可暗示考生,Peter当晚来的可能性不大。A是“准来,肯定来”,D是“将要来”。
16.C 可参看10、11、13题。“本应该”而事实上没有……
17.D 从原题中I didn’t see your sister at the meeting和后文she would have met my brother这两个信息句可知,if条件句中应填与过去事实相反的过去完成时。可参看6、7、14题。
18.A 你不必告诉他。因为I’ve told him already这一信息句已暗示考生了。
19.C 当as if引导虚拟语气的句子是,如果主句与从句中的谓语词所表达的动作同时发生时,as if后接一般过去时。例如:He walked as if he were lame.如果从句中的谓语动作发生个在主句谓语动作之前,则用过去完成时。例如:He talked as if he had known the secret.不论主句中的谓语是现在时还是过去时。
20.C 只要考生抓住nearly一词和后文at any moment(随时的意思)这两个信息词语,就能很快选出C项,表示逻辑推测,意思是“快七点钟了,杰克一会儿就该到了。”
21.D 根据句意,是对过去情况的推测。“当时决不可能是一次舒服的乘车。”must表示对过去的推测只能用于肯定句。
22.B mustn’t表示“禁止”;may表示“有可能”。句子的意思是:“你不可以玩刀,可能会伤你自己。”
23.D 该题在考考生could与was able to之间的区别。Was able to表示在困难的情况下,经过一番周折而“能……”,并且成功地做了。
24.B 该题考查情态动词should表推测的用法。Can和might都可以表示可能性,用might则语气更加不肯定。Need表示“需要”、“必需”。Should可以表示推测,结合实际,合乎逻辑,意为“应当”、“该”。根据第一个说话者说的I need them tomorrow afternoon的语境,可以确定正确答案为B。
25.A 该题在考查“情态动词+不定式的完成式”的用法,从会话的语境看,空白处应填“could + have +过去分词”表示过去本来能做到的事而事实上没有做到。
26.B 该题考查表示请求的英语口语,用will来向第二人称提问的疑问结构,是表达一种意愿和请求,是以疑问的形式来表达较为婉转的祈使语气,意思是“请你……,好吗?”,对于这种问句的肯定答语可用Sure! Certainly! Yes, of course. I’d be glad to等;否定回答通常是I’m sorry, I can’t. No, I’m afraid I can’t. I’m sorry, but … I ‘d like to, but …等。
27.D might表示“可能性”。
28.C 意思是“我会的”。对祈使句的肯定回答。
29.B shouldn’t have done为本来不该做某事,而事实上做了。
30.D 用may not可表示“可能不”。而can not则表示断然的否定推测“不可能”。A,C意思不符。

情 态 动 词
一、一般疑问句中几个情态动词的问与答
1. Need I/he/…
Yes,you/he/…must.(不用need)
2. Must I/ he/…
No,you/ he/…needn’t/don’t(doesn’t,won’t)have to.(不用mustn’t)
3. May I/ he/…
No,you/ he/…mustn’t.(少用may not)
4. Could(Can)you…
Yes,I can (不用could)
5. Shall I/she/ he…
No,you(she,he)needn’t/can’t/mustn’t
二、情态动词表“推测”
1.can,may,must使用的句式:
1)肯定陈述句中:must表“肯定、必定、一定”意,may/might表“也许,或许”意。
2)否定陈述句中:can’t/couldn’t表“不可能”意,may not/might not表“也许不、可能不”意。
3)疑问句中:只能用can或could,不能用must,may或might。
注意:表推测的could,might并不是指过去时间,而是表示比can,may把握性略小些的情况。
2.对目前状态的推测:
1)must/may/might/can/could+be+表语
例如:She must be a teacher.她肯定是老师。She can’t/couldn’t be a doctor.她肯定不是医生。 He may not/might not be a doctor.他可能不是医生。
2)must/may/might/can/could+一些不能用于进行时的静态动词(如:have,exist,live,like,hate,own,belong to等)
例如:She must have her own car,for she has a lot of money.
That kind of bird may live in the valleys.
3.对目前正在发生的事情进行推测:
句式:must/may/might/can/could+be doing
例如:They must be waiting for us.他们肯定正在等我们。
She may/might be doing her homework.她可能正在做作业。
Can/Could he be playing football 他会正在踢足球吗?
4.对已发生的事情进行推测:
句式:must/may/might/can/could+have done
例如:There’s no lignt in the room. They must have gone to bed./She knows nothing about the film. She can’t/couldn’t have seen it./Can/Could he have been a doctor /He may/might(not)have been a teacher./They must have been watching TV at nine last night./Can/Could she have stayed in Beijing last year
注意:will have done句式也可表“肯定/可能已经…”推测意。
例如:He will have learned advanced mathematics,for he knows a lot about it. 他肯定/可能学过高等数学,因为他对此懂得很多。
三、“情态动词+have done”用法
1.should/ought to +have done,意“本应该…”,含有责备或后悔意。
例如:You should have come here a little earlier./I ought to have sent him to school./
2.shouldn’t/oughtn’t to+have done,意“本不应该”,含有责备或后悔意。
例如:You shouldn’t have watered the flower./I oughtn’t to have scolded her for such a small thing.
3.might have done,意“过去可能做”;could have done意“本能够做”,两者都含有委婉批评或遗憾之意,也可表对过去情况的推测。
例如:He might have gone to Nanjing with Professor Wang.last week,but he was ill.上星期他本可以和王教授一起去南京的,可他病了。We could have finished the work ahead of time.我们本来是能够提前完成工作的。
四、情态动词在反意疑问句中的用法
1.“肯定祈使句+附加问句”结构,附加问句常用will/would/won’t you形式。
例如:Stand still,will/would/won’t you
2.“否定祈使句+附加问句”结构,附加问句常用will/would you形式。
例如:Don’t watch TV,will/would you
3.Let’s…,shall we ; Let us…,will/won’t you
4.含有must句子的反意问句
1)must表示“必须”时,附加部分常用needn’t,也可用mustn’t.例如:He must go with you,needn’t/mustn’t he
2)mustn’t表“一定不能”时,附加部分用may.例如:She mustn’t leave,may she
3)must表“一定、想必”推测意时,附加部分主要有下列几种形式:
A.He must be an engineer,isn’t he They must be writing now,aren’t they (这类句子问句前部分含“must be…”或“must be doing…”。)
B.She must have a car/live there, doesn’t she
C.He must have seen the film,hasn’t he?(这类句子问句前部分的谓语为must have done,句子无具体过去时间状语。)
D.He must have seen the film last week,didn’t he (这类句子问句前面部分的谓语为must have done,句子有具体过去时间状语。)
E.Mother must have been shopping then,wasn’t she (前面部分谓语为must have been doing。)
5.含有may表推测的句子,其反意问句形式与must表推测的反意问句形式相似。
例如:She may have finished her homework,hasn’t she
五、几组词语辨析
1.must与have to:must强调说话者的主观看法,have to强调客观需要,表示“不必”意要用needn’t或don’t/didn’t/won’t have to,不能用mustn’t。
2.can/could与be able to:can多用于现在时,也可用于将来时,could只用于过去时,be able to可用于各种时态。表示“过去经过努力而做成(或没做成)”要用was/were(not) able to ,而不用could(not)。例如:He worked hard,but he wasn’t able to pass the exam.
3.will,would,used to:都可表“习惯”意。①will表示不受时间限制的习惯性动作。如:Fish will die out of water./ She’ll sit for hours without saying anything.
②would表示过去习惯性的动作,但不涉及与现在情况的对比。如:He would walk by the river in the morning.注意:would后不能跟表状态动词。例如不能说He would be late for school last year. ③used to表示过去习惯性的动作或状态,但这种习惯现在已不存在了。如:He used to get up early. He used to be late for school.
情态动词考点分析
1.-Could I borrow your dictionary (NMET)
-Yes,of course you________.
A.might B.will C.can D.should
析:B、D意明显不合;A语气不妥,与of course不符。此题Could是表Can意的委婉说法,并非过去时,所以答案应为C。
2.-Shall I tell John about it
-No,you_________.I’ve told him already. (NMET)
A.needn’t B.wouldn’t C.mustn’t D.shoudn’t
析:B意明显不合用,可排除。mustn’t意“不许、不得”,shouldn’t意“不应该”都不合情景。只有needn’t表“不必”与下文“I’ve told him already”相贴切。
3.-There were already five people in the car,but they managed to take me as well.
-It_________a comfortable journey. (NMET)
A.can’t be B.shouldn’t be
C.mustn’t have been D.couldn’t have been
析:A、B是对现在情况而言,与情景不合。表否定推测不能说mustn’t have been,只有D选项“不可能是”意思切合,时态也对,故为正确答案。
4.The fire spread through the hotel very quickly ,but everyone________get out.
(NMET)
A.could B.would C.was able to D.had to
析:根据题干提供的情景B、D皆应排除。在A、C两选项中,因为根据情景要选一个“经过努力能够”这样意思的词,故定答案为C。
5.I told Sally how to get here,but perhaps I________for her.
A.had to write it out B.must have written it out
C.should have written it out D.ought to write it out
析:A项意“(当时)不得不写出来”,不合题意;D项意“(现在)应写出来”也不合题意;B项意“(当时)肯定已写出来”明显不对。只有表“当初应该写出来”意的C项才合上下文。
6.That young man has made so much noise that he_________not have been allowed to attend the concert. (上海高考题)
A.could B.must C.would D.should
析:若选A。意“不可能已被允许…”与情景不合,应排除;B项不可选;C项意“当时将不会被允许…”也与情况相悖。只有D“should not have been allowed…”表示“当初不该让他…”才合题意。
7.-Can I help you,sir
-Yes,I bought this radio here yesterday,but it______.(NMET)
A.didn’t work B.couldn’t work C.can’t work D.doesn’t work
析:若选A。意“昨天不响(今天响了)”,不合题目情景;若选B。其意是“当时不能工作(现在能工作了)”,显然不合题;若选C。意为“这台收音机根本不能工作(是废品)”这未免显得武断;只有D表“这台机子不响(有毛病)”意才能合理地表达来找商店服务员的原因。
主谓一致(Agreement)
1.“Either A or B+谓语”结构,谓语取决于B。
例:Either the students or their teacher dislikes basketball,otherwise they
would take part in the basketball match.
但在一般疑问句中,谓语取决于A。
例如:Do either the students or their teacher dislike basketball
Is either he or you going there
这种谓语取决于与其最近的主语现象叫做“就近原则”。
2.“Neither A nor B+谓语”结构,谓语多取决于B。但现代英语也出现复数谓语,
理由是neither A nor B是两部分之和,为复数概念,故其后可用复数谓语。
例如:Neither she nor I was(或were)fortunate enough to gain extra points.
她和我都不幸未能获得附加分。
Neither you nor he does(或do)well in maths.
3.Neither of…接单、复谓(通常视为单数,但在口语中,从意义上亦可视为复数)
None of…接单、复谓
例:Neither of them is(或are)right.
None of you is(或are)fit for the job.
4. as well as(以及)
(together)with(以及)B+谓语”结构,谓语取决于A。
“A along with(以及)
but(除去)
rather than
例: as well as
The trainer along with two gymnasts is in the gym.
(together) with
教练和两个体操运动员在体操房里。
All but Li Dong have passed the test. 除了李东所有人都通过了考试。
Nobody but Li Dong and Wang Hong has passed the test.
除了李东和王宏没有什么人通过那场考试。
5. 表示钱数、时间、长度、数学等概念名词其后通常用单数谓语。
例:200 yuan / 500 dollars / 20 minutes is not enough for us.
makes 15.
10 and 5 10加5等于15.
is
makes 5.
10 minus 5 10减5等于5.
is
(以上两数词例,现代英语认为make,are也对。)
20 kilometres is too much for them. 20公里是他们吃不消的。
6. There be 结构中be的形式取决于靠近be的名词,若是单数名词,则be为is/was;
若是复数名词,则be为are/were(即第1条中的“就近原则”)。
例如:There is a desk,two chairs and three sofas in the room.
There are three sofas,two chairs and a desk in the room.
7. a group of…,a team of…后跟复谓、单谓皆可,跟复谓的理由是不止一个人,跟单谓的理由是将许多人视为“一组”、“一队”这样的一个单位体。
例如:A group/team of students are /is cleaning the street.
8. 象school ,class,family,team,group government等这类群体名词,其后谓语可能是单数形式,也可能是复数形式。通常视其为一个整体单位时,用单数谓语;视其为群体成员时,则用复数谓语。
例如:The class are having a meeting. 这个班学生在开会。
The class is not very big. 这个班不是大班。
The family enjoy singing and dancing. 这家人喜欢唱歌跳舞。
The family has only three persons.这家只有三口人。
9. 象police,clothes,trousers这类复数概念名词,其后总是跟复数谓语。the wounded
(伤员)后总是跟复数谓语。
10. 象clothing,news,information,advice这类不可数名词后应跟单数谓语,但它们前面有可数性短语修饰时,也可跟复数谓语。
例如:The clothing is very nice.The news is interesting.
Five articles of clothing are over there.
Three pieces of news were announced on TV.
11.百分数of+复名+复谓,百分数of+单名/不可数名词+单谓
例:40 percent of the students are girls.
80 percent of the work/the book has been finished.
分数后的谓语形式同百分数。
12. who/why/how/whether/if/than引导的名词从句+单谓
例:How he got there is unknown./Why she did it remains a puzzle./It’s lucky that he is still alive.
13. A (large)number of+复名+复谓。
例:A number of books are over there.
A large amount of+不可数名词+单谓。
例:A large amount of money has been spent.
The number of+复名+单谓。
例:The number of the students in our school is 2000.
主谓一致考点分析
1._____either he or I to leave for America
A. Is B.Am C.Are D.Will
析:由or,either…or, nor, neither…or, whether…or, not…but, not only…but also等连接的并列主语,其谓语动词的单复数要根据“就近原则”处理,因为空白处与he最近,故要选A。
2. No one has finished his homework,________
A.have they B.haven’t they C.has he D.hasn’t he
析:由No one可知空白处应选肯定式,故可排除B,D。又因为句子表述的意思是“没
有一个人完成作业”,从人数上看是很多人没完成作业,故排除C项,而选A。
3. There comes the bus,_______
A.doesn’t there B.doesn’t it C.does it D.are there
析:这是一个倒装句,主语是bus,谓语是comes, 所以答案应选B。
4. He is a teacher but his wife is a doctor,_______
A.isn’t she B.isn’t it C.aren’t they D.isn’t he
析:此题问句前部分含but,重点是强调his wife is a doctor,故问句部分取决于此部分,因此,该题答案为A。
5. They don’t think money is everything,_______
A.is it B.isn’t it C.will they D.do they
析:如果是“I/ We(don’t)think+宾从”则反意问句主语和谓语取决于宾语从句,但此句主句的主语不是I或we,而是They,这时反意问句部分的主语和谓语要取决 于主句的主、谓语,所以此题答案应选D。
6. Each soldier and sailor_____given a rifle when the ship landed.
A.were B.was C.are D.is
析:根据when the ship landed,可知应排除C,D.又因“each/every A and(each/every)B”结构的主语后面应跟单数谓语,所以答案为B。
7.More than one person_____involved(卷入)in th case.
A.is B.are C.has D.have
析:要表达“被卷入”,只能在A,B之中选一个,因more than one后应跟单名,单
谓,所以答案为A。
8.He is the only one of our customers who____this kind of article.
A.like B.likes C.are fond of D.loved
析:从时态考虑可排除D。因“the/the only…of+复名”后的定语从句谓语应该
用单数形式,所以答案应是B。但此题若将the only 去掉,则答案为A。

1北京四中情态动词
情态动词也叫语气动词,有一定的词义,但本身不表示行为或状态,而只是表示说话人对所说动作的看法,认为它"可能"、"应当"、"必要"等。情态动词不能单独作谓语动词,只能和动词原形一起构成谓语动词。英语里的情态动词主要有:can(could), may(might), must, shall, will, would, need, dare, should, ought to。情态动词在任何主语后没有人称和数的变化。除must, need, ought to外,其他情态动词有表示过去时的形式变化:
现在式 过去式
can could
may might
shall should
will would
dare dared
⒈can 和could
⑴表示能力
can 表示现在或未来的能力,could作为can的过去式,表示过去的"能力"
如:
Whales cannot live on land.
鲸不能生活在陆地上。
We can skate.
我们会滑冰。
A computer can't think for itself.
计算机不会独立思考。
Before liberation few workers could support their families.
解放前几乎没有工人能养得起家。
* be able to 与can、could的异同:
◆be able to 可用于多种时态,can和could只用于现在时和过去时。
如:
He will be able to go with us this afternoon.
他今天下午能和我们一起去。(一般将来时)
I haven't been able to see the difference yet.
我还不能看出区别在哪。(现在完成时)
He thought I would be able to do the work well.
他认为我能把这项工作做好。(过去将来时)
The sick man was soon able to stand up.
病人很快能站立起来。(一般过去时)
◆如果表示过去"能够"、"做到","设法干成了某事",常用was/were able to …来表达(相当于managed to do sth. 或succeeded in doing sth. ),而不用could。
如:
With the firemen, they were able to escape from the burning house.
在消防人员的帮助下,他们得以从燃烧的房子中逃出。
We were able to get there before the meeting began.
会前我们终于赶到那里。
⑵表示"可能性"
◆can表示可能性时,常用于疑问句和否定句中。
如:
Who is speaking at the meeting Can it be Mr. Black
会议上发言的是谁?会不会是布莱克先生?
It can't be him.
不可能是他。
◆can间或可用于肯定句,表示理论上的可能性,表示笼统的时间,事物的特征
Anybody who wants to try can be successful.
只要想试,任何人都可能成功。
Scotland can be very warm in September.
九月份苏格兰会很暖和。
⑶表示许可和请求
在日常生活中,can可以代替may,表示"允许";could 可以代替can用来表示现在时间的动作,但语气较为婉转,表请求。
如:
☆Can/Could I use your pen
我可以用一下你的钢笔吗?(表请求)(could 比can更客气,语气更委婉)
Yes, you can. ( 回答时不能说成could)
☆You can go whenever you wish.
无论什么地方,你愿意走就可以走。
⑷习惯短语:
cannot…too… 越…越好
cannot but 不得不
如:
You cannot be too careful.
你越仔细越好。
I cannot but do so.
我不得不这样做。
⑸can 和could 后面接动词的完成式,表示对过去情况的猜测或判断。can常用于疑问句和否定句,而could能用于肯定句,表示一个非事实的或不可能实现的可能性。
如:
Where can he have gone
他会去哪里了?
He can't have gone to school. ----It's Sunday.
他不可能去学校了----今天是星期天。
You were stupid to go skiing there. You could have broken your leg.
去那里滑雪你真是太傻了,你会摔断腿的。(实际上没有摔断腿)
⑹could have done
本来能做而实际未做,表达遗憾的感彩
如:
----I stayed at a hotel while in New York.
----Oh, did you You could have stayed with Jane.
在纽约期间,我无处安身,只好住在旅馆里。
嗷,是吗?你本可以和珍妮住在一起。(表达遗憾的感彩)
⒉may 和might
⑴表示"允许"或"请求对方的允许",might 比may 语气更客气、更委婉
You may take a rest now.
你们现在可以休息了。(表允许)
May/Might I take the book out of the room
我可以把这本书拿出房间吗?(表请求允许)(might 比may更委婉,更客气)
⑵表示"可能性"
常用于肯定句和否定句,指说话人的猜测,认为某事或许可能发生。might并不表示某事过去可能发生,而是表示一种虚拟语气,指把握性不大,句中可以用may代替,不过may 要比might所表示的可能性要大。
He may/might come. You'd better stay here for a moment.
他或许来,你最好在这儿等他一会儿。(I am not sure whether he'll really come. )
I may/might not be back for dinner.
我可能不回来吃饭了。(I'm not sure whether I'll be back. )
◆may/might + have + 过去分词
表示对过去的推测,认为过去可能发生的动作。might 比may 语气更含蓄或迟疑,may 比might的把握性更大
He may/might have gone abroad.
他可能出国了。
He may/might have had some kind of accident.
他可能出了什么事了。
⑶用于祈使句,表"祝愿"
May you both be happy!
祝你们俩幸福!
May you succeed!
祝你成功!
⑷习惯搭配:may /might as well 还是…的好
You may as well give him the letter.
你还是把信给他为好。
I might as well stay at home tonight.
我今晚还是呆在家里吧。
⑸在表示目的或让步的状语从句中构成谓语
Write to her at once so that she may know in time.
马上给她写信使她及时知道。
He died so that the others might live.
为了使其他人能活下去,他自己牺牲了。
⑹might + have +过去分词
表过去未实现的动作,也是一种虚拟语气的用法
如:
He might have given you more help, even though he was very busy.
即使他当时忙,也应给你较多的帮助。(实际上他当时没给你较多帮助)
It was dangerous for you to try swimming in the river. You might have been eaten by the fish.
你试图在那条河里游泳真是危险,你可能被那种(食人)鱼吃了。(实际上并未被吃)
⒊must
⑴表示"必须"、"一定"(现在和未来)
Must I get ready now
我现在必须准备吗?
We must finish this before he comes.
我们必须在他回来之前做完这件事。
⑵must 和have to:
◆严格说来,这两个词是有区别的, must表示说话人主观认为的"必须",而have/has to表示客观的需要,也可译为"不得不"
I really must stop smoking.
我真的该戒烟了。(我认为应该戒)
I have to stop smoking.
我得戒烟了。(可能医生的要求或身体的客观情况使我戒烟)
◆have to 有时态和人称的变化,而must没有
I had to write some letters last night.
我昨晚不得不写些信。(一般过去时)
I will have to meet Mr. Edward at three o'clock this afternoon.
我必须今天下午三点钟去会见爱德华先生。(将来时态)
◆must not=mustn't 表示禁止,"不许","一定不能"
do not have to =don't have to "不必"
You mustn't go now.
你现在不能走。
You don't have to go now.
你不必现在就走。
◆must 用于疑问句时,肯定回答用must, 否定回答用need not 或don't have/need to
Must I hand in my paper now
我必须现在交论文吗?
Yes, you must. (No, you needn't. 或No, you don't have to. )
⑶表判断推测
◆暗含很大的可能性,表这个意义时must仅用于肯定句,不能用于疑问句和否定句。
They must be in the classroom now.
他们现在准是在教室。
You must be ill. You look so pale.
你一定是病了,你的脸色苍白。
◆must + have + 过去分词 表示对过去事情的推测。
如:
They must have heard the news.
他们必定是已经听到这消息了。
Something must have happened.
一定是发生了什么事。
The ground is wet. It must have rained last night.
地面是潮湿的,昨晚一定下过雨。
⑷must用在反意疑问句中
在反意疑问句中,附加部分要和陈述部分的情态动词或主要动词在意思上相呼应,使用情况各有不同:当陈述部分中的must作"必须,一定要"讲时,附加部分用mustn't 或needn't; 当must表推测,作"一定是,准是"讲时,附加部分要根据must后的原形动词选用相对应的形式。
He must work hard at English, mustn't he
他必须努力学习英语,是吧?
You must renew the book, needn't you
你必须续借这本书,对不对?
He must be a teacher, isn't he
他准是一名教师,是吗?(不说mustn't)

⑶need 和dare 也可作行为动词,与一般动词的变化相同。

我需要把一切详情告诉你吗?
It needs to be done at once.
这件事需要马上做。
You don't need to worry about that.
你不必为那事担心。

我敢于这样做。
She dares to go out alone at night.
她晚上敢一人出去。

答案与提示:
1. B 题意为:我们有足够的时间,我们没必要跑这么快。
2. B 题意为:让我妹妹在哪里等你呢?在教室里吗?在疑问句中,当主语是第一或第三人称时,我们可以用情态动词shall表示征求对方意见。其他三个选项仅表示"可能性或必要性"。
3. A 情态动词would 能用来表示说话人向对方提出请求或询问,语气比will婉转的多。题意为:您能告诉我去图书馆怎么走吗。
4. C 情态动词加完成时表示对过去的事情的推测。"他上周一没去图书馆,否则我可能就看到他了"。
5. D 回答have to的疑问句,可以用must做肯定回答。A、C两项所答非所问,B项缺to。
6. B 对进行的动作进行推测,用情态动词+be doing,否定推测时用can't , 而不能用mustn't, mustn't表示"不准"的意思。
7. B will情态动词,表"会的,一定的",对上文要求给予肯定答复;I do是对一般现在时的动作的疑问句做肯定回答,与本题不符;关于C,做否定回答时,要先说sorry;D项的时态不对。
8. D should have done sth. 表示"本应当…",指过去实际上没做的事情。must have done sth. 表示推测,"肯定做过某事"。
9. D dare和need 后面有not, 说明它们此处是情态动词,而not后面又有to ,所以若填A是错误的。Can也是情态动词,也不应加不定式。选B含义不对。
10. D 表推测的must句之反意疑问句要对其实意动词提问。A项应排除,理由是mustn't 不用于表推测,C项不选,是因为反意疑问句的时态不对,因为有时间状语yesterday. ,故主句是对过去的事情推测,B项的反意疑问句也不应用完成时。
11. B would有时用来表示过去反复或经常发生动作。be to do sth. 表按计划要做某事。be going to do sth. 表示打算或即将要做。
12. C 第一句中用的是must加完成时,表示对过去事情的推测,答句中也应按上文思路,用couldn't表示否定的推测,A项不用于推测。
13. D dare 作情态动词时没有人称的变化,所以A和B选项不对。C项中的dare是情态动词,其后不能接to。
14. A could have done 表示过去本来能做到而实际上没做的事。
15. B 推测过去的动作用"情态动词+have done" ,所以A、C项不对。
16. C might as well 习惯搭配"还是…的好","不妨…";A项中的had better后面不应用to。
17. D must 表示与说话人愿望相反或不耐烦,"偏偏"。
18. B might 用于目的状语从句中,此时其后面不能接完成时。
19. D 通过"it wasn't"可知这是在谈论过去的事情,ought to have done 表示"过去本应做而实际上没做的事情"。
20. A Could I …?表示请求,语气婉转,但回答时不用could, 应用can。
21. A needn't have done 表示本来不必做而实际上做了。通过"so we went"判断我们去了。
22. B 通过"We'll get someone to take good care of the old grandpa. "可知"你不必担心他",don't have to =needn't "不必"。
23. C can/could可用于疑问句表示推测。Would, should 和may都不能用于疑问句表推测。
24. D must have been doing 表示推测在过去的一段时间内在进行的动作。由"Her eyes were red. "可知是谈论过去的时间内她在哭。
25. C must在句中表示推测,此时的反意疑问句中不能用mustn't。
26. A 在表示过去实现了某一种具体能力,做某件事情成功了的时候,用be able to ,而不能用could。
27. C 在条件状语从句中,will作情态动词,表示"意愿"。
28. B 在It is necessary/ important/strange that…中谓语动词常用should + do, 或只用动词原形,构成虚拟语气。
29. A shall用于第一、第三人称疑问句,表示说话人征询对方意见或请求指示。
30. C 在demand, suggest, order等表示建议、要求等的从句中,用should +动词原形,构成虚拟语气。

二、考查情态动词的推测用法
1、对现在或客观事实的推测
对现在或客观事实的肯定推测一般用must, will, should, may(might)或could,语气依次递减。
例10:Helen _____go on the trip with us but she isn’t quite sure yet. (2005安徽)

对现在或客观事实的否定推测,常用cannot译为“根本不可能”、“想必不会”,表示推测的语气非常肯定, may not, might not或could not译为“可能不”、“也许不”,表示推测的语气不很肯定。
例13:You might just as well tell the manufacturer that male customers ______ not like the design of the furniture.(2004上海春)

分析:在例13中,might just as well表示“最好……,还是……为好”,说明喜欢的可能性不大,故用may not。例14,根据后面的I’m sure可以看出,推测的语气较强,故用can’t译为“根本不可能”、“想必不会”,表示惊异、怀疑的感彩,常用于否定语气较强时。答案分别为C、A。
对现在或客观事实的疑问推测,往往用can或could,而不用may/might。
例15:Mr. Bush is on time for everything. How ______ it be that he was late for the opening ceremony?(2001上海春)
A. can B. should C. may D. must
分析:对现在或客观事实的疑问推测,往往用can或could,表示惊异、怀疑、困惑、失望等感彩。答案为A。
2、对过去事实的推测
对过去已发生事情的肯定推测常用 “must/may/might +have + v-ed”,“must+ have + v-ed”意思为“想必、准是、一定是”,语气非常肯定且只能用于肯定句,“may/might+ have + v-ed” 意思为“也许、或许”表示推测的把握不大,只能用于肯定或否定句,不用于疑问句;对过去的否定推测常用 “can/could /may’might not + have + v-ed”,意思为“不可能/可能没做过……”;对过去的疑问推测只用“can/could + have + v-ed”,意思为“可能已经……”。
例16:He _______ have completed his work; otherwise, he wouldn’t be enjoying himself by seaside. (2005北京)
A. should B. must C. wouldn’t D. can’t
分析:根据后一分句判断,前一分句应该表示肯定完成了工作,故用“must+ have + v-ed”意思为“想必、准是、一定是”,语气非常肯定且只能用于肯定句。答案为B。
例17:My sister met him at the Grand Theatre yesterday afternoon, so he _____ your lecture.(2000上海)
A. couldn’t have attended B. needn’t have attended
C. mustn’t have attended D. shouldn’t have attended
分析:must表推测时,不用于否定,needn’t have +v-ed 表示“本来没有必要”,shouldn’t have +v-ed表示“本来不应该”,“can/could not + have + v-ed” 意思为“不可能做过……”。故答案为A。
例18:--Do you know where David is I couldn’t find him anywhere.
-- Well. He ______ have gone far----his coat’s still here.(2005湖北)
A. shouldn’t B. mustn’t C. can’t D. wouldn’t
分析:can’t have gone far 在此表示现在对过去所发生事情的否定推测,意思为“现在不可能走远了”;答案为C。
三、考查情态动词的虚拟用法
例19:—I’ll tell Mary about her new job tomorrow.
--You________ her last week. (2004福建)
A. ought to tell B. would have told C. must tell D. should have told
分析:对过去发生事情的责备或遗憾应用“情态动词+have + v-ed”,据此可排除答案A、C,而would+have +v-ed常用于过去的虚拟语气中,should(ought to)+ have + v-ed”表示本应该做某事而实际上没有做,含有责备的含义。其否定式表示某种行为不该发生但却发生了。故答案为D。
例20:He paid for a seat, when he ______ have entered free. (2005山东)
A. could B. would C. must D. need
分析:“could+ have + v-ed” 用于肯定句中,表示本来能够做成某事的但结果没能做成,含有遗憾的意味,侧重有能力而没能做成。该句意思为:“他花钱买了座位,而他本来可以免费进去的”。答案为A。
例21:You should not have swum in that river. You ____ have been eaten by fish.
A. must B. may C. will D. might
分析:前一分句的should not have swum表示责备,后一分句则表明有被鱼吃掉的可能性。“might+ have + v-ed” 用于肯定句中,表示本来有可能做成某事但结果没能做成,含有遗憾的意味,侧重有某种可能性但没能做成。
例22:—Catherine, I have cleaned the room for you.
—Thanks. You ______ it. I could manage it myself. (2005福建)
A. needn’t do B. needn’t have done C. mustn’t do D. shouldn’t have done
分析:“needn’t+ have + v-ed” 表示本来不必做某事而实际上做了某事,无批评责备之意,只是惋惜而已。如You needn’t have watered the flowers, for it is going to rain.你本不需要浇花的,因为天就要下雨了。答案为B。
备考建议
掌握情态动词的基本词义及其用法是把握情态动词的关键,同时要认真比较每个情态动词的用法,注意其细微差别,如shall, can, must, should, will的用法差异;熟悉每个情态动词的适用场合,根据语境及说话人的语气选择恰当的情态动词,如用于推测时,must只用于肯定句中,can一般不能用于肯定句中。may/might不能用于疑问句中;牢记情态动词表示推测的用法,尤其是对过去发生情况的推测;积累虚拟语气的用法,尤其是一些句势和特殊情况。
06年展望
随着高考命题改革的深入,命题的角度和思路都在翻新,但不管怎样变化,还是脱离不了词的基本词义、词与词在使用上的细微差别和基本的语法框架。通过对近几年高考情态动词考点的分析、探究,可以看出高考对情态动词的考查非常稳定,即情态动词的基本用法和推测用法。高考考点的 “稳定性”告诉我们:高考英语命题是有规律的,不仅有规律,而且有很强的规律性。在复习迎考过程中,不仅要认真准备书本上成百上千的知识点(这是基础),但更重要的还要去研究历届高考试题中的重要考点(这是捷径),提高复习效率。

I.情态动词+have done的用法
“情态动词+have done”是历年高考的热点,但有些同学对这一结构不甚了解。为了便于同学们学习,现将这种结构的两种主要用法借表归纳如下。
一、表示对过去情况的推测或估计
所用的句式 意义
must have done 肯定句 一定(已经)……
may /might have done 肯定句 可能/大概(已经)……?否定句可能还没有……
can /could have done 否定句 不可能(已经)……疑问句 可能/也许(已经)……了吗?
说明:1?might /could有时并不是may / can的过去式,而是表示一种委婉的语气或更小的可能性。?2?might have done有时可用于疑问句中,此时might就相当于can /could。
二、表示对过去所发生的事情的遗憾或责备
所用的句式 意义
should /ought to have done 肯定句,否定句, 疑问句 本来(不) 应该……的
might/could have done 肯定句 本来能够/可以……的
need have done 否定句 本不必要……的
had better have done 肯定句,否定句, 疑问句 要是(没有)干了……就好了
would rather have done 同上 本来想做……(却未做)
说明:1.might have done有时可表示对过去发生事情的庆幸,意为“差点儿……”。如:
Didn't you see that car nearly hit me?I might have been killed.
你难道没看见那辆小车差点儿撞上了我吗?我差点就没命了。
2?要注意needn't have done与didn't need to do的差别。
He needn't have come.他本没有必要来。(实际却来了)
He didn't need to come.他没有必要来。(实际也没来)
同学们在做有关“情态动词+have done”练习时,在掌握这一结构的两种基本用法的同时,还要仔细体会题干所提供的语言信息,准确理解语言环境和说话人的含意,尤其要注意题干中时态给予的暗示。

II. 情态动词难点透视
英语中的情态动词虽然为数不多,但是要掌握好它们的用法并不容易。本文结合同学们在使用情态动词时不易掌握的难点谈几点看法。
1.can表示可能性时,指的是理论上的可能,它通常不用来表示某事实际发生的可能性或真实性。如:
Accidents can happen.Anybody can make mistakes.
如果我们要表达某事发生的实际可能性,要用may,could或might等。
We may spend our summer holidays in Hangzhou this year.
Will you answer the telephone﹖ It could/may/might be your mother.
2.could用来征求意见时,语气要比can委婉,但在回答问题时我们不能用could,因为语气委婉,可能性就变小了。如:
—Could I use your telephone﹖?—Yes, please go ahead.
3.在过去时态的肯定句中需要某种条件或努力做成某事,我们要用was/were able to而不能用could。如:
It was a holiday and the children were able to go to the seaside.
The girl worked hard?so she was able to pass the final test.
4.must与have to都可以表示“必须”的意思,但要注意以下两点区别。
1) must只有现在时,而have to有现在时、过去时和将来时。如:
We must work hard, or we’ll fail in the examination.
Two years ago, the poor girl had to leave school for lack of money.
2) must表示主观看法,have to则侧重于客观需要。如:
We must be strict with ourselves in everything.
In cities with many cars, some people have to wear masks.
5.must表示推测时,其反意问句有好几种形式。
1) “must+动词原形”对目前的情况进行推测时以及用must+be+-ing形式对目前正在发生的情况进行推测时,疑问短语部分要与must之后的动词相一致。如:
The mathematics teacher must be in the office now, isn’t he﹖
2) “must+have+过去分词”用来表示对已经发生的事情进行推论。如果句子中有过去的时间状语,疑问部分用助动词didn’t?否则,疑问部分用haven’t或hasn’t。如:
The children must have watered the tomatoes yesterday, didn’t they﹖
The minister must have arrived in Shanghai, hasn’t he﹖
6.shall可以用来征求对方意见。用于第一、三人称。此外它也可以用来表示说话人的命令、警告、允诺、威胁或决心等,这时它用于第二、三人称。如:
Shall she go to the concert with us this evening﹖ (征求意见)?
You shall go to the front at once.(命令)?
Don’t worry.You shall get the answer this very afternoon.
(允诺)?He shall be sorry one day.I tell you.(警告)?
Nothing shall stop us from fighting against pollution.?(决心)?
7.在表示将来的时间、条件状语从句中,不能用will(这时的will不是情态动词,而是助动词,帮助构成将来时)。如:
If it will rain tomorrow, we shall not go to the mountain village.(误)?
If it rains tomorrow, we shall not go to the mountain village.(正)?
当情态动词will表示意愿或决心时,是可以用于条件状语从句的。如:
If you will listen to me, I’ll give you some advice on how to learn English.
如果你愿意听我的话,我将给你提点学习英语的建议。
If you will come this way,the manager will meet you.
请您往这边走,经理现在要见你。
8.should除表示必要或义务外,还可表示推测或可能。如:
The American friends should be here now.
“should/ought to+have+过去分词”既可表示本该做而事实上没有做的事,也可以表示惊讶、赞叹等情绪。如:
You should have told her about it the day before yesterday.
It’s wonderful that you should have achieved so much in these years.
“情态动词+have+过去分词”是很重要的一种句型,除should外,may, might, must, couldn’t, needn’t, ought to等都可以用于这一句型,但要注意?使用不同的情态动词?句子的意思就有所不同。
9.ought to与should意思接近,大多数情况下二者可以互换,但是should谈的是自己的主观看法,ought to则更多反映客观情况,在谈到法律、义务和规定时使用。如:
We should/ought to help each other and learn from each other in our work.
She is your mother, so you ought to support her.
We ought to go and see Mary tomorrow, but I don’t think we will.
10.need,用作情态动词,仅用于否定句和疑问句,而不用于肯定句。在肯定句中要用must, have to, should, ought to或将need当作行为动词使用。如:
We need report the matter to the boss immediately.(误)?
We must report the matter to the boss immediately.(正)
We need to report the matter to the boss immediately.(正)
Dare的用法也一样。
dare 与need 的用法
1).dare作为情态动词,主要用于疑问句,否定句和条件从句中,一般不用于肯定句.
a. How dare you say I’m unfair
b. He daren’t speak English before such a crowd, dare she
c. If he dare break the rule , he will be punished .
2).need表示”需要”或”必须”,作情态动词用时,仅用于否定句或疑问句. 条件从句中。“有…必要”。在肯定句中一般用must, have to, ought to或should代替.
a. You needn’t come so early.
b. --Need I finish the work today ??---Yes, you must./ No , you needn’t .
c. If you need go there , please let me know .
3).dare和need常用作实义动词,有时态,人称和数的变化。所不同的是,在肯定句中,dare 后面通常接带to的不定式; 在否定和疑问句中, dare后可接带to或不带to的不定式.
a .I dare to swim across the river??? b .He doesn’t dare (to) answer.
C .We need time and money.
d .The dining room needs / wants / requires cleaning every day .
= The dining room needs / wants / requires to be cleaned every day .
e. Does he need to take the medicine four times a day
III.情态动词的测试热点
本阶段出现了不少“情态动词+have+过去分词”的句型。在此之前,同学们也学到了许多有关情态动词的用法。笔者在文中对历年来的高考试题进行了分析,指出了历年来高考试题对情态动词的测试热点,谈到了使用情态动词时应注意的相关知识,供同学们参考,以期提高同学们运用所学知识的能力。??
热点一:情态动词表示推测的用法??
情态动词must,can,could,may,might都可用来表示推测。其中,must所表示的可能性最大,最有把握,意为“一定”。注意,其否定式mustn’t表示“想必不”;表示“不可能”要用can’t或couldn’t。 may 和 might表示可能性时,主要用于肯定句中,might相对于may 来说,表示的可能性更小一些。 can和could主要用于否定句和疑问句中。
需要注意的几点:?
1.表示猜测,can一般不用于肯定句中,除非是“经验之谈”。我们在SEFC Book 2, Lesson 30中学过这样两个表示“经验之谈”的句子:?Children can often get ill suddenly.(小孩常常可能突然生博?)?Certain things in the home can be dangerous,especially if you have young children.(家里的某些东西可能有危险,尤其是有小孩的时候。)?上面两句可以看作医务工作者或抚养过孩子的人说的话,属“经验之谈”。?
2.may和might都不用于疑问句中。如:(正)Can /Could it be cloudy tomorrow ??(误)May /Might it be cloudy tomorrow ??
3.must的否定式是can't /couldn't,不是 needn't或m ustn't。
4.would +V原形:想必现在/过去……;现在/过去可能……?He would be back today /yesterday.想必他今天/昨天回来了。(他今天/昨天可能回来了。)
5.should /ought to +V原形:想必现在/将来会……?The dinner should /ought to be ready now.想必晚饭现在已备好。?He should /ought to ring up this afternoon.想必他今天下午会打电话的。?
6.will +V原形:将来一定/准会……?
Try your best,and your wish will come true.尽力吧,你的理想准会实现的。?
在近年来的高考试题中,测试may和might表示可能性的频率较高,是一个热点项目。

情态动词表示猜测的答题方法及考例精析?
解答情态动词表示猜测的试题时,一要清楚被猜测的时间,二要清楚有无客观事实根据。若有客观事实根据,则无论是肯定还是否定的猜测,猜测语气最强且符合时间要求的为最佳答案;情态动词表示猜测时语气从强到弱的顺序是:must,will,would,ought to,should,can,may,could,might。若无客观事实根据,纯凭主观臆断,则猜测语气最弱且符合时间要求的为最佳答案。如:?
1.I thought you __________ like something to read,so I have brought you some books.(MET 1986)?A.may?? B.might?C.could? D.must?
由题意可知被猜测的时间是(过去)将来,没有客观事实根据,猜测语气要求最弱,所以正确选项是B。?
2.Peter __________ come with us tonight,but he isn't sure yet.(MET 1993)?
A.must??B.may? C.can?? D.will?
由题意可知被猜测的时间是将来,没有客观事实根据,猜测语气要求最弱,所以正确选项是B。?
3.It __________ last night,for the ground was wet this morning.?
A.must have rained?B.may have rained?C.must rain?D.might rain?
由题意可知被猜测的时间是过去,有客观事实根据the ground was wet,猜测语气要求最强,所以正确选项是A。?
4.Mary __________ be in Paris,for I saw her in the town only a few minutes ago.(MET 1994)?A.mustn't???B.can't??C.shouldn't??D.may not?
由题意可知被猜测的时间是现在,有客观事实根据I saw her in the town a few minutes ago,猜测语气要求最强,所以正确选项是B(can't是m ust的否定式)。?
5.?—There were already five people in the car but they managed to take me as well.?
—It __________ a comfortable journey.(NMET 1995)?
A.can't be B.shouldn't be C.mustn't have been D.couldn't have been?
由题意可知被猜测的时间是过去,有客观事实根据there were already five people...take me as well,猜测语气要求最强,所以正确选项是D。?
6.-When can I come for the photos?I need them tomorrow afternoon.?
—They __________ be ready by 12:00.(NMET 1998)?
A.can??? B.should? C.might?? D.need?
由题意可知被猜测的时间是将来,有客观事实根据need them tomorrow afternoon,猜测语气要求最强,所以正确选项是B。?
7.-Are you coming to Jeff's Party??
—I'm not sure.I __________ go to the concert instead.(NMET 2000)?
A.must???B.would? C.might?? D.should?
由题意可知被猜测的时间是将来,没有客观事实根据,猜测语气要求最弱,所以正确选项是C.
热点二:情态动词表示能力的用法??
情态动词表示能力时,一般用can/could或be able to 。be able to用于表示能力并且可用于各种时态,而can只有一般现在时和一般过去时两种时态。此外,当表示过去成功地做成了某事时,只能用was / were able to。如:??
A computer _____ think for itself, it must be told what to do.(MET’91)???
A. can’t??? B. couldn’t????C. may not???D. might not??
简析:这里说明电脑不具备独立思考的能力? 故本题选A。??
The fire spread through the hotel very quickly but everyone ____get out.(NMET’97)??
A. had to??? B. would??? C. could????D. was able to??
简析:本题题意为“大火很快蔓延了整个旅馆,但全体人员都脱离了危险。”, 故本题选D。??
热点三:表示“许可”、“允许”的情态动词??
can/could? may/might都可用来表示请求允许或许可。过去式could和might常用于疑问句中,表示礼貌。回答时,常用原形can或者may,不可再用过去式could或might。如:??
-Could I borrow your dictionary﹖?(MET’92)?
-Yes, of course you _______.??
A. might????? B. will??????C. can?????D. should??
简析:本题的前一句用could提问,表示委婉的请求。回答时,应用原形can。故本题选C。??
热点四:shall/should的用法??
shall用于第一、三人称的疑问句中,表示征求对方的意见,常译为“要某人做某事吗﹖”。shall也可用于第二、三人称的陈述句中,表示说话人的意愿,有命令、警告、决心、强制、许诺或威胁之意。研读历届高考题不难发现,should的考点主要体现在以下几个方面: 1)表示责任和义务,意为“应该”;2)表示可能性推测,意为“很可能、该”;3)用于虚拟语气中。
4).should(not)have done结构的用法。现结合历届高考题对其用法作一归纳。?
一、“should(ought to)have done”结构意为“本来应该……”,表示过去应该做或值得做的事情而没有做到,含有后悔、埋怨、责备等意味。该结构的否定式“shouldn't(ought not to)have done”则表示过去做了不应该做的事,意为“本来不应该……却……”。例如:?
1.Jerry __________ have kept her word,I wonder why she changed her mind.(MET91)?A.must? B.should?C.need?D.would?
2.We __________ last night,but we went to the concert instead.(MET92)?
A.must have studied?B.might study?C.should have studied?D.would study?
3.I told Sally how to get there,but perpaps I __________ for her.(NMET94)?
A.had to write it out?B.must have written it out?
C.should have written it out?D.ought to write it out?
4.Tom ought not to __________ me your secret,but he meant no harm.(MET93)?
A.have told?? B.tell?C.be telling??D.having told?
5.There was a lot of fun at yesterday's party.You ______ come,but why didn't you?(99上海)?A.must?????B.should?C.need have?? D.ought to have?
6.I was really anxious about you.You __________ home without a word.(NMET2001)
A.mustn't leave?B.shouldn't have left?C.couldn't have left?D.needn't have left?
7.Oh,I'm not feeling well in the stomach.I _______so much fried chicken just now.(2002上海春季高考)?
A.shouldn't eat?B.mustn't have eaten?C.shouldn't have eaten?D.mustn't eat?
二、“should have done”结构还可以表示动作已经完成,但含有感彩,表示惊讶、惊奇等意味。意为“竟,竟然,居然”。例如:?I'm sorry that this should have happened.很遗憾,竟然发生了这种事情。?
It is wonderful that you should have achieved so much in these years.这几年你竟然取得如此大的成就,真是了不起!?
三、should也可以用来表示“推测”,意为“可能;该”。相当于be expected to。往往指具有一定的客观根据或根据推理对现在某事发生的“可能性”进行描述,语气上不如must强。若对现在正在进行的事情的推测,则用should be doing结构。例如:?
8.—Will Mr Wang offer us a hand??
—He__________ be glad to.He never refused our request.(92上海)?
A.can??B.must? C.may? D.should?
9.—When can I come for the photos?I need them tomorrow afternoon.?

A.can?????B.should?C.might????D.need?
10.It's nearly seven o'clock.Jack __________ be here at any moment.(NMET95)
?A.must?B.need?C.should? D.can?
I don't think he should be sleeping now,is he?我认为他现在不可能正在睡觉,是吗??
四、“should like/love to do sth.”结构意为“愿意/想做某事”。“should like/love to have done”结构则意为“本来想干某事,而当时却没干”。例如:?
11.Little Jim should love __________ to the theatre this evening.(MET92)?
A.to be taken? B.to take?C.being taken? D.taking?
12.I should love __________ to Professor Smith,but I didn't get any more chance.(96上海)?
A.to be introduced?B.to have been introduced?C.to have introduced?D.introducing?
He should like to have attended the evening party,but he was too busy.
他本想参加这次晚会,可是当时他太忙了。?
?五、should在虚拟语气中的运用?
1、在if引导的条件状语从句中,若表示与将来事实相反的假设,条件句的谓语动词可以用“should +动词原形”;若if省略, should应提到句首,构成部分倒装。例如:?
If it should snow tom orrow ,the m eet- ing would be put off.
如果明天下雪的话,运动会就会推迟。?
13._____it rain tomorrow,we would have to put off the visit to the Yangpu Bridge.(94上海)?A.Were??B.Should??C.Would?? D.Will?
2、动词arrange(安排,筹划),command(命令,要求),demand(要求,需要),desire(要求,渴望),insist(坚决主张),order,propose(主张,提议),request,require,suggest(建议)等后跟宾语从句时,谓语动词应用“(should)+动词原形”。例如:?

医生嘱咐她应该躺在床上再呆一周。?
He proposed that we(should)go there by plane.他主张我们应该乘飞机去那里。?
3、名词advice,idea,order,demand, plan,proposal(主张),suggestion,request等后跟表语从句或同位语从句时,其谓语动词用“(should)+动词原形”。例如:?
We all agreed to his suggestion that we(should)go to Hangzhou for sightseeing.
我们都同意他的建议我们应该到杭州去观光旅游。?
My advice is that we(should)do more eye exercises every day.
我的建议是我们每天应该多做眼保健操。?
4、在主语从句的下列三种句型中,主句的谓语动词应用“(should)+动词原形”。?
(1)It is necessary(important,impossible,strange,natural...)that...?
(2)It is a pity(a shame...)that...?
(3)It is suggested(requested,ordered,desired...)that...例如:?

It is requested that Miss Gao(should) give a perform ance at the m eeting.
人们要求高小姐应该在大会上进行一场演出。?
It is a pity that he(should)be so careless.他竟如此粗心真是令人遗憾。?
六、should可以用来表示惊奇、惶惑、不满、惋惜、忧虑等情绪。例如:?
16.You can't imagine that a well-behaved gentleman ________be so rude to a lady.(2001上海)?A.might? B.need? C.should? D.would?
Never did he expect that the conditions should be so terrible.他从来没有料到情况竟如此可怕。?
七、should可以表示谦逊、委婉之意,意为“可……;倒……”。例如:?

He should expect their team to win the match.他倒是希望他们队能赢得这场比赛。?
八、should可以用于较强语气的假设情形中,表示“竟然;万一”之意。例如:?
If he should fail to come,ask John to go there in his place.万一他不能来就叫约翰代替他去。?
Should it blow hard,we would not go out for a picnic.万一明天刮大风,我们就无法去野餐了。?
九、should用于目的状语从句或in case引导的条件状语从句中时,相当于might,含有“会;可以”之意。例如:?They got up early so that they should catch up the first flight in time.
他们很早起床以便能及时赶上首班飞机。
He took him along with an umbrella in case it should rain.
他随身带了一把雨伞,以防天可能下雨。??
