考点精析与突破
考点一:辨析表示“推测”的情态动词
解题策略
(1)must表示推测时语气最强,意为“必定;准;一定”。它是以事实为依据而进行的逻辑上的推理,所指的动作发生的可能性最大。must只用于肯定句,其否定形式为can’t/couldn’t,意为“一定不;不可能”,而mustn’t表示“禁止;不准”,如:The car doesn’t work. There must be something wrong with it. 这辆小车开不动,准是出问题了。I met Tom at the hospital yesterday, so he couldn’t have attended your lecture.我昨天在医院遇到Tom了,所以他不可能参加了你的讲座。
(2)can/should表示以事实、理由为依据进行推测,它们所指的动作有发生的可能性,但没有must那么肯定。can 在肯定句中可表理论上的可能性,如Accidents can happen at any time,意为事故随时可能发生,只是不表具体事情的肯定推测(具体推测用 must/may),should的主观性较强,意为“应该”。如:He should be there now.现在他应该到那儿了。
(3)may/might语气较弱,意为“可能;或许”,表示说话人根据自己的主观意愿而进行的推测。此外,学生要牢记情态动词表示对过去的推测与表示责备时的语义区别:
may/might have done表推测时意为“过去可能做过”,表责备时意为“过去本可能做而实际上未做”;should/ought to have done表推测时意为“按理该做过”,表责备时意为“按理过去该做而实际上未做”;
must have done表推测,意为“过去一定做过”;
can’t /couldn’t have done表推测,意为“过去一定没有做过”;
can/could have done表责备,意为“过去本能够做而实际上没做”;
needn’t have done表责备,意为“过去不必做,而实际上做了”。
例1 (2020·天津卷)You ____________ have scolded him for his poor performance. After all, he had done his best.
A.must B.should C.mustn’t D.shouldn't
例2(2021·天津卷)It used to be that you ___drive for miles here without seeing another person, but now there are houses and people everywhere.

may/might have done表推测时意为“过去可能做过”,表责备时意为“过去本可能做而实际上未做”;should/ought to have done表推测时意为“按理该做过”,表责备时意为“按理过去该做而实际上未做”;

can/could have done表责备,意为“过去本能够做而实际上没做”;
needn’t have done表责备,意为“过去不必做,而实际上做了”。
例1 (2020·天津卷)You ____________ have scolded him for his poor performance. After all, he had done his best.
A.must B.should C.mustn’t D.shouldn't
【答案】D
【解析】考查情态动词+ have done。句意:你本不应该因为他表现不好而责骂他。毕竟,他已经尽力了。根据前后句关系可知此处表示“本不该”是 shouldn't have done指做了本不该做的事,must have done表示对过去发生的事情的肯定性推测;should have done表示应当做某事而实际上未做;mustn’t不和have done连用。故选D
例2(2021·天津卷)It used to be that you ___drive for miles here without seeing another person, but now there are houses and people everywhere.
A.need B.should C.could D.must【答案】C
【解析】考查情态动词。句意:以前你可能在这里开了几英里,都没见过别人,但现在到处都是房子和人。A. need 需要;B. should 应该,理应如此; C. could 可能,表示对客观可能性的推测;D. must 一定,必须。根据前半句意思可知,表示的是对客观可能性的推测。故选C。
实战精练与提升
1.It is required by law that a driving test ________ (take) before a man gets a license.
【答案】(should) be taken
【解析】句意:法律规定,一个人在获得驾照之前要先参加驾照考试。It is required that...中,that从句的谓语动词用“should+动词原形”,其中should可以省略;又因为test与take之间是被动关系,故用被动语态,即(should) be taken。
2.I couldn't________ (go) through the hard times but for my teacher's generous and timely help.
【答案】have gone
【解析】句意:要不是老师慷慨而及时的帮助,我不可能熬过那段艰难的岁月。根据句意可知设空处为与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,故答案为have gone。情态动词 + have done表对过去事情的否定推测(不可能熬过),本句中的but for相当于if it hadn't been for...。
3.I was ill that day, otherwise I would ________ (take) part in the sports meet.
【答案】have taken
【解析】句意:那天我病了,否则我就参加运动会了。根据语境可推知设空处为与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,故答案为have taken。
4.The nationwide smog serves as a constant reminder, indicating that it's high time we ________ (reflect) on ourselves.
【答案】reflected/should reflect
【解析】句意:全国范围内的雾霾在不断提醒我们是时候反思自己了。由“it is high time sb. did/should do sth.”可知填reflected/should reflect。
5.It has been accepted that all the students ________ put on masks before going to school in case they are infected with flu virus.
【答案】shall
【解析】句意:为防学生感染病毒,学生们在进校前要戴上口罩。在第三人称作主语的陈述句中,表示规定、规则,用shall。
6.There was a little mouse staying at home all day. I ________ go out, even at night.
【答案】daren't
【解析】句意:一整天都有一只老鼠在家里,我一天没敢出去,即使是在晚上。根据even at night表示的递进意义判断,此处表示“不敢”意义,故填情态动词daren't。
7.I have her telephone number. You________ call her if you like.
【答案】can
【解析】句意:我有她的电话号码,如果你愿意你可以给她打电话。所填词表示允许,意为“你可以给她打电话”,故用can。
8.I think something ________ have happened to Jill.
【答案】must
【解析】句意:我想在吉尔身上一定发生了什么事。根据I think...判断,所填词表示一种非常有把握的肯定推测,故用情态动词must。
9.—It's a shame that you missed the lecture on the British culture given by Thompson.
—I ________ (attend) it, but I was busy preparing for the coming exam.
【答案】would/should have attended
【解析】句意:——真遗憾你错过了汤普森所作的有关英国文化的讲座。——我本想/应该参加的,但是我正忙于准备即将到来的考试。根据题干中的was busy可知设空处表示与过去事实相反,故答案为would/should have attended。
10.Anyone ________ be in a rough life time, whether he is “Bai Fumei” or “Gao Fushuai”.
【答案】can
【解析】句意:任何人都会有困难的时候,无论他是“白富美”还是“高富帅”。此处是情态动词用于陈述句中,表示“一时的情况”,故用情态动词can。
