通过以上例句,你能归纳出句中情态动词的含义吗?
[规则点拨]
一、情态动词的概念及特征
情态动词表示说话人的某种情感或语气,对某一动作或状态的某种态度,表示需要、可能、必须、应该等。
情态动词有以下特征:
1.在形式上,大多数情态动词没有实义动词的各种变化(have to除外),有的情态动词有过去式。
2.在意义上,大多数情态动词有多个意义,如can可以表达“能力”“可能”“许可”等。
3.在用法上,情态动词须同不带 to的动词不定式(have to、 ought to、 used to除外)连用,构成复合谓语。
二、情态动词的基本用法
1.can/could
(1)表示能力,意为“能,会”。
The smallest good habits can make a big difference.
最小的好习惯会产生很大的作用。
It was several minutes before I could take in what he said.

(2)表示推测,意为“可能”,用于否定句或疑问句中。can比could语气强。
This can't/couldn't be done by him.
这件事不可能是他做的。
(3)表示请求或许可。在疑问句中可以用could代替can,语气更委婉。
Could I use your phone, please?
我可以用一下你的电话吗?

听到这个故事,我禁不住大笑起来。
|名|师|点|津| can和be able to都可以表示能力,二者有时可互换。但be able to可以表示“终于做成某事”,有更多时态和人称的变化,且可与某些情态动词或系动词连用,如might、 ought to、 seem等,还可用非谓语动词形式。

如果你睡个好觉,那么你就能做出这道题。

第Ⅱ卷 语篇综合训练
(一)阅读理解
Good relationships are definitely good sources of happiness in life.We all want happy relationships but if we do not keep that relationship alive, it can also be one of the most distraught things in life.There may be no hard and fast rules in making good relationships, as each of us has different preferences and points of view as to what is a great relationship.The following are some major key players in making relationships work.
It is often said that building good relationships is all about communication.Good communication indeed governs a good relationship — knowing the right thing to say, when to say it, how to say it, and accepting some things that are better left unsaid.I personally think communication must be broadened because relationships involve more decisions to make.From study to work, from money to entertainment and even in things about yourself or about your friends that you do not know, communication is necessary in these aspects of the relationships.
Of course, being with someone is not saying that you totally agree with him or her all the time.You and your friends come from different family backgrounds, and are raised in different environment, so there may be disagreement here and there.However, it is important in making relationships work to express disagreements without pushing the relationship to end.Again, good communication and learning to compromise (妥协) at times are necessary.
As relationships last longer, you may also discover things about you and your friends that you may not have known before.Therefore supporting each other on both your “hidden selves” can also make a good relationship.
Love is an important aspect of building relationships and for me, I always believe that love needs open communication, respect, support and understanding each other in making relationships work.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了维持人际关系的关键因素。
1.What does the underlined word “distraught” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Funny. B.Upset.
C.Interesting. D.Surprising.
√
解析:词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Good relationships are definitely good sources of happiness in life.We all want happy relationships but if we do not keep that relationship alive”可知,不能保持愉快的人际关系可能会给生活带来不良后果,使人不愉快。因此画线词意为“令人不愉快的,令人心烦意乱的”,和upset意思相近。
2.What should you know to communicate well with people?
A.A white lie is necessary sometimes.
B.Compromises are necessary at any time.
C.Your friends need to have the same backgrounds with you.
D.Supporting each other in anything helps build a good relationship.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中“Good communication indeed governs a good relationship — knowing the right thing to say, when to say it, how to say it, and accepting some things that are better left unsaid.”可知,要与人良好沟通,善意的谎言有时是必要的。
3.According to the text, which of the following is NOT important for a good relationship?
A.Love. B.Support.
C.Communication. D.Hidden selves.
√
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段“Love is an important aspect of building relationships and for me, I always believe that love needs open communication, respect, support and understanding each other in making relationships work.”可知,爱、支持和沟通对于保持良好的关系都很重要。故D项“隐藏的自我”符合题意。
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A.The Importance to Express Disagreements
B.Different Opinions on Good Relationships
C.Keys to Making Relationships Work
D.Forbidden Rules in Building Good Relationships
√
解析:标题归纳题。根据第一段中“The following are some major key players in making relationships work.”可知,本文主要讲述了维持人际关系的关键因素,因此C项“维持人际关系的关键”适合作文章标题。
(二)语法填空(15分)
Nowadays, our classrooms, neighborhoods and communities become 5 (diverse) than ever before.People from different 6 (country) and cultures continue to spread out around the world.Different skin colors, languages, physical abilities and clothes 7 (be) some of the types of diversity that we experience every day.
How we respond to this diversity will decide not only our future as a person but also our future as a society.As Maya Angelou said, “In diversity there is beauty and 8 (strong).”Tolerance (宽容) means openness to the differences that exist among us all.It means respecting and learning from others, 9 (value) our differences and discovering what we have 10 common.
The opposite of tolerance is closed-mindedness.Arguments and fights 11 (cause) by closed-mindedness from time to time.In contrast, humans 12 are open to differences will create a more peaceful world and have better opportunities in life whether through education, work or friendships.So having tolerance will change our life for the better, and make the world 13 better place.Difference is the spirit of humans and we should learn 14 (respect) it.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如今的社会更加多样化,我们应该重视差异,尊重差异,对差异持开放态度,努力创造一个和平的世界。
5.more diverse 考查形容词的比较级。根据下文中的“than”可知,此处应用形容词的比较级形式。故填more diverse。
6.countries 考查名词复数。根据上文中的“different”和下文的“cultures”可知,此处应用复数形式。故填countries。
7.are 考查时态和主谓一致。此处陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时。分析句式结构可知,该句主语是由多个名词构成的,此处谓语动词应用复数形式。故填are。
8.strength 考查名词。分析句式结构可知,and在此处连接两个名词,应用strong的名词形式;strength作“力量”讲时是不可数名词。故填strength。
9.valuing 考查非谓语动词。mean在此处意为“意味着”,故用动词-ing形式作宾语,构成固定搭配mean doing sth.“意味着做某事”,并与respecting以及discovering并列。故填valuing。
10.in 考查介词。have ...in common意为“在……有共同之处”,是固定短语。故填in。
11.are caused 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据下文中的“from time to time”可知,应用一般现在时;主语Arguments and fights和谓语cause之间为被动关系,且主语是复数,故填are caused。
12.who/that 考查定语从句。分析句式结构可知,此处是定语从句,先行词指人且从句中缺少主语,应用关系代词who/that来引导定语从句。
13.a 考查冠词。根据句意可知,此处意为“一个更好的地方”,表泛指,且better以辅音音素开头,故填a。
14.to respect 考查非谓语动词。learn作及物动词时,其后可接动词不定式作宾语,构成固定搭配learn to do sth.。故填to respect。
