答案與解析

1. B 從第二個(gè)分句“他太矮了”可以推知說話者持否定態(tài)度，needn’t意思是“沒有必要”，與語(yǔ)境不符。

2. C 根據(jù)句意“我已經(jīng)告訴她怎樣到那兒，但是或許我應(yīng)該給她寫下來”可知，說話者含有“后悔、遺憾”的意味，應(yīng)使用“情態(tài)動(dòng)詞+完成式”形式，“must+完成式”表示對(duì)過去的肯定推測(cè)，“should+完成式”才表示虛擬意義。

3. C 根據(jù)第二分句“否則的話他就會(huì)給我打電話了”可知“Jack肯定還沒到”，“can’t+完成式”意思是“根本不可能”。

4. A 從第二分句可知，這是婦女和兒童專用候車室，因此你“不準(zhǔn)”坐在這兒。mustn’t表示“禁止，不準(zhǔn)”。

5. B can在此表示許可。

6. D 從后一句“他喜歡開車”可知說話者把握不大。must not不表示推測(cè)，can not的語(yǔ)氣太絕對(duì)，意思是“根本不可能”。

7. D shall用于第二、三人稱，表示說話人給對(duì)方的命令、警告、允諾、威脅等意思。

8. C should在此表示驚訝的感情色彩，意思是“竟然”。

9. B 對(duì)祈使句的肯定回答用I will;否定回答用I won’t。

10. D 根據(jù)句意“我今天上午在會(huì)議室沒見到她”， 所以“她根本不可能在會(huì)上發(fā)言”。表示“根本不可能”用can’t/couldn’t have done形式。
