题点考法与用法规则
一、情态动词
考点1 情态动词的基本用法
[高考体验]
1.(2023·全国甲卷)Carson proves that a simple lyric form that has been passed down through the ages can still (employ) today to draw attention to important truths.
解析:be employed 分析句子结构可知,空处是谓语动词。主语a simple lyric form和动词employ之间是被动关系,故用被动语态。空前有情态动词,故填be employed。
2.(2023·全国乙卷改编)The remarkable development of this city means there is always something new to discover here, and I could____ (photograph) Beijing for the next 50 years.
解析:be photographing 根据语境并分析句子结构可知,空处是谓语动词。由时间状语“for the next 50 years”表示持续一段时间,故用现在进行时态。空前有情态动词,故填be photographing。
3.(2020·天津高考改编) Jim says we stay in his house as long as we leave it clean and tidy.
解析:can 句意:吉姆说只要我们保持房子干净整洁,我们就可以暂住在他的房子里。can在句中表示允许、许可,意为“可以”。
[系统归纳]
1.can, could
·表示能力,意为“能,会”。
·表示请求和允许,意为“可以”。
·在疑问句中can还可用could, might代替,不是表示过去,而是使语气更委婉,但不能用于肯定句和答语中。
①Can you lift this heavy box?
你能举起这个沉重的箱子吗?
② —Could I go to see you tomorrow?
—Yes, you can.( No, I'm afraid not.)
——我明天能去看你吗?
——是的,你可以。(不,恐怕不行。)
2.may, might
·表示请求和允许。
·用于祈使句,表示祝愿。
·might比may语气更委婉,而不是表示过去。
·肯定性应答要用can或may而不用could或might。否定回答时可用can't 或mustn't,表示“不可以,禁止”。
①—May/Might I take this book out of the room?
—Yes, you can/may. (No, you can't/mustn't.)
——我可以把这本书带出房间吗?
——是的,你可以。(不,你不可以。)
②May you succeed!
祝你/您成功!
3.will, would
·表示请求、建议等,would比will语气更委婉。
·表示意志、愿望和决心。
·would表示过去反复发生。would表示过去习惯时比used to正式,且没有“现已无此习惯”的含义。
①Will/Would you pass me the ball, please?
请你把球递给我好吗?
②I will never do that again.
我再也不会那样做了。
③During the vacation, he would visit me every other day.
在假期里,他每隔一天都会来看我。
4.must, have to
·表示必须、必要。
·在回答must引出的问句时,如果是否定回答,不能用mustn't (禁止,不准),而用needn't/don't have to (不必)。
·must是说话人的主观看法,而have to则强调客观需要。must只有一般现在时,have to 有其他时态形式。
①Whatever happens, you must come in time.
不管发生什么,你都必须及时来。
②I must really go now.
现在我真的必须走了。
③I had to work when I was your age.
我像你这么大的时候不得不工作。
5.dare, need
·dare作情态动词用时,常用于疑问句、否定句和条件句中,过去式为dared。
·need作情态动词用时,常用于疑问句、否定句中。在肯定回答时一般用must,否定回答用needn't。
·dare和need作实义动词用时,有人称、时态和数的变化,都可以接带to的动词不定式。
①How dare you say I'm unfair?
你怎么敢说我不公平?
②—Need I finish the work today?
—Yes, you must.(No, you needn't.)
——我今天需要完成这项工作吗?
——是的,你必须。(不,你不需要。)
6.shall, should, ought to
shall (1)shall用于第一、三人称疑问句,表示说话人征求对方的意见或向对方请求,意为“将要,将会”。
(2)shall 用于第二、三人称,表示说话人给对方决心、
命令或指示,意为“必须,一定,应该” 。
should (1)表示“应该”,在疑问句中常用should代替ought to。“should+have done” 表示本应该做但实际上没有做;
(2)表示“吃惊”,作“居然,竟然”讲。
ought to ought to意为“应该,应当”,没有人称和数的变化。ought to的否定形式为ought not to或oughtn‘t to,其一般疑问句形式是将ought置于主语前。多数情况下,ought to可与should互换。
续表

[高考体验]
1.(2023·全国甲卷改编)She warns of the environmental dangers facing society, and she teaches that people take responsibility for saving their environment.
解析:must 根据语境可知,用于肯定句中,表示“一定,必须”,故填情态动词must。
2.(2023·新高考Ⅰ卷改编)When he got older, John started to wonder if this process be used to clean up the messes people were making.
解析:could 由语境可知,设空处表示一种可能性,故填could。
3.(2020·天津高考)You have scolded him for his poor performance.After all, he had done his best.
解析:shouldn't 句意:你本不应该因为他表现不佳而责备他。毕竟,他已经尽力了。shouldn't have done sth.“本不应该做某事”,符合语境。
[系统归纳]
1.推测性用法
情态动词 用法
must 只能用于肯定句中,意为“一定;必定”。
can/could 用于疑问句中,意为“可能”;用于否定句中,意为“不可能”,语气强烈。

①This can't be done by him.How can this be true?
他不可能这么做。这怎么可能是真的?
②You're Tom's good friend, so you must know what he likes best.
你是汤姆的好朋友,所以你一定知道他最喜欢什么。
[名师指津]

(2)表示对现在的推测用“情态动词+do”,表示对过去的推测用“情态动词+have done”;

二、虚拟语气
考点1 虚拟条件句中的虚拟语气
[高考体验]
1.(2023·新高考Ⅰ卷改编)She (struggle) with extreme pain to make it to that aid checkpoint without Bailey's help.
解析:would have struggled 根据句意“如果没有贝利的帮助,她会在极度疼痛中挣扎着到达那个医疗检查点。”可知,设空处是对过去的虚拟,句子属于含蓄条件句,故填would have struggled。
2.(2023·新高考Ⅰ卷改编)If I (lack) confidence in myself, I wouldn't have won the writing contest.
解析:had lacked 由语境可知,空处是对过去的虚拟,if条件从句中应用过去完成时。
3.(2020·江苏高考改编)If I hadn't been faced with so many barriers, I (not be) where I am.
解析:wouldn't/shouldn't/mightn't be 分析可知此处是错综时间的虚拟语气,从句与过去事实相反,主句与现在事实相反。故主句用would/should/might not+动词原形。
[系统归纳]
1.if虚拟条件句
(1)基本构成
时间 if从句谓语动词形式 主句谓语动词形式
对现在的虚拟 过去式(be常用were) should/would/could/might+动词原形
对过去的虚拟 had+过去分词 should/would/could/might+have+过去分词
对将来的虚拟 should+动词原形 should/would/could/
might+动词原形
过去式(be常用were)
were to+动词原形
续表
(2)错综时间虚拟条件句
当从句和主句所表示的行为发生的时间不一致时,动词的形式要根据它所在的时间作出相应的调整。
If you hadn't left home without a word, your parents wouldn't be so worried now.
要不是你一言不发地离开家,你父母现在就不会那么担心了。(从句与过去事实相反,主句与现在事实相反)
(3)省略if的倒装句
if虚拟条件状语从句中出现were, had, should时,可省略if,把were, had, should提到句首,变为倒装句式。
Had he caught the morning bus, he would not have been late for the meeting.
要是他赶上了早班公交车,他就不会开会迟到了。
2.含蓄条件句
·有时假设的情况不用条件句表达,而是用but for, without等介词(短语)或上下文来表示。
·用连词otherwise, or等暗示后文与前面的情况相反,从而引出后文的虚拟语气。
·虚拟条件通过but暗示出来,模式为“虚拟情况+but+真实情况”。
①We wouldn't have finished the project on time without your timely help.
如果没有你们的及时帮助,我们就不能按时完成那项工程了。
②I was ill that day. Otherwise, I would have taken part in the sports meeting.
我那天病了,否则,我就参加运动会了。

我本来可以演讲的,但是那天我感冒了。
考点2 虚拟语气在其他从句中的用法
[高考体验]

解析:(should) be 根据require后的宾语从句要用虚拟语气可知,此处应填(should) be。
2.(2022·浙江1月高考改编)I went up to my new teammate and introduced myself. He looked at me as though I (be) there.
解析:weren't 根据语境可知,此处表示对“现在”的虚拟,be动词用were,由语境可知,表示否定,故填weren't。
3.(2022·浙江1月高考改编)I tried to make the best of it and didn't say anything for fear that I (make) things worse.
解析:would make 根据语境可知,此处表示对“将来”的虚拟,故填would make。
4.(2019·天津高考) Mary's description of the party was so vivid that I felt as if I (be) there.
解析:had been 根据“was”和“felt”可知,as if后为对过去情况的虚拟,因此用过去完成时。
5.(2018·江苏高考) There is a good social life in the village, and I wish I (have) a second chance to become more involved.
解析:had 根据句意可知,动词wish后面的宾语从句要用虚拟语气。此处表示与现在的情况相反,故用动词的一般过去时。
