参考答案与解析
C
本句是一个主从复合句,主句含有情态动词can,动作go还未发生,属于将来时;因此,when引导的时间状语从句要用现在时;当go动作发生时,finish动作已经完成了,故选 C。当然,空格出还可以用finish。如:
She will go to bed when she has done/ finishes her homework.
You can go to play football if you have finished your work.
C
此题考查need的用法,还要理清句子结构。that前是个主句,that引导的是个定语从句,其先行词是a site,定语从句中谓语动词应该用单数needs,many people think是插入语,空格处是谓语部分。插入语经常被出题人放在题目中,使句子复杂化,增加句子的难度,做题时可以把插入语去掉,便于理解句子结构。
need既可用作情态动词也可用作行为动词,主要用法如下:
①作情态动词时表示“需要;必须”,后面当然跟动词原形,仅用于否定句或疑问句中,否定式是needn’t,在肯定句中一般用must, have to, ought to或should代替,如:
You needn’t buy the book.
—Need I finish the work today?
—Yes, you must.
② 作行为动词时,有时态、人称和数的变化,后面跟to do,否定形式要用don’t/doesn’t/didn’t need,如:
He needs to finish it this evening.
③ need用作行为动词时,后面还可以跟动名词或名词,此时含义跟need后面用不定式的含义不一样。“need +动名词”含有被动意义,类似这样的用法还有有want, require,如:
Our classroom needs cleaning. = Our classroom needs to be cleaned. 既可用作情态动词也可用作行为动词的还有dare。
B
考查情态动词时态。 题干意思是“我没料到你今天会来。你该事先打电话来”,表示“本没料到”用过去时,后面用情态动词+完成时表示对过去的虚拟,本来可以做某事而实际上没有做。情态动词+进行时表示目前正在进行的动作或状态。
C
本题中的could也表示请求(而非表示过去时),语气委婉,主要用于疑问句,不可用于肯定句,答语应该用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 morning?
—Yes, you can. (否定答语用No, I’m afraid not.)
A
前半句是虚拟语气,“要不是我站在梯子下面接住你,你现在不会站在这里笑了”,表示的是现在的情况,用进行时。
A
情态动词must可以表示“偏偏”的意思,是一种无可奈何的语气,句子意思是“你为何偏要打断我呢?”D
解本题一定要注意审题,要把题目看完整,才不会想当然选C,根据后文的for he always has good manners可以断定“他不可能不打招呼就离开”,用can’t have left.
