1. 回眸高考真题
情态动词的核心考点
单句语法填空
1.(2026年高考英语I卷改编) Daji originated from the folk custom of trading goods, which _____________ (can trace) back to the Han Dynasty.
【解析】考查情态动词。句意:大集由民间商品交易习俗演变而来,可追溯至汉代。which指代其前的名词the folk custom,根据句意,这里应该用被动形式,表示“可追溯至......”。故填can be traced。
can be traced
2. (2025年高考英语北京卷改编) The truth, though, is what ___________________ (could guess) — there’s never anyone else here. Just me, Nick, and the quiet forest.
【解析】考查情态动词。句意:不过,真相正如所料 —— 这里从来没有其他人。只有我、和那片寂静的森林。根据句子结构来看,what后是一个表语从句,what泛指物,从句中缺少谓语,所以应该用被动形式,表示”可能被推测”。故填could be guessed。
could be guessed
3. (2024年全国高考英语甲卷改编)What _______________ (should do) with such a beautiful place? They wondered out loud.
【解析】考查情态动词。句意:这么漂亮的地方该怎么办? 他们大声地问道。短语do ... with ...,意为“对付、处理”,do和with都得带自己的宾语。此句中,what既是疑问词,也应是do的宾语,因此应用被动形式。故填should be done。
should be done
4. (2023年全国高考英语乙卷改编)The remarkable development of this city, which is consciously designed to protect the past while stepping into the modern world, means there is always something new to discover here, and I _______________________ (could photograph) Beijing for the next 50 years.
【解析】考查情态动词。句意:这座城市的显著发展,在有意识地保护过去的同时步入现代世界,意味着这里总是有新的东西等待发现,我可以在接下来的50年里一直拍摄北京。句子的后半部分“for the next 50 years” 表示的是一个 持续进行、贯穿未来很长一段时间 的动作。使用进行时强调的是一种持续不断的拍摄状态。故填could be photographing。
could be photographing
3. (2021 天津卷改编) It used to be that you __________________ (drive) for miles here without seeing another person, but now there are houses and people everywhere.
【解析】考查情态动词。句意:过去你可能开车数英里看不到一个人,但现在到处都是房子和人。根据句意和语境可知,这里介绍的是过去和现在的对比,表示“有可能”,故填could/might drive。
4. (2021 天津卷改编) —I honestly don’t think I’m going to be admitted.—Well, you never know! You ________________ (make) a better impression than you think.
【解析】考查情态动词。句意:——老实说,我觉得我不会被录取。——唉,谁知道呢!你给人的印象可能比你想象的要好。根据句意可知,此处表示的是有可能,故填may have made。
could/might drive
may have made
1. (2024年1月高考英语浙江卷改编) However, though it’s nice to get a few cents off a pack of sausages, it would help even more if they ________________ (could offer) sometimes in smaller packs.
【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意:不过,虽然一包香肠能便宜几分钱是件好事,但如果它们有时能提供更小包装的话,那就更有帮助了。根据句意判断,这里用于条件从句中,表示对现在情况的假设,应用虚拟语气。句子主语是 they,指代前面的sausages,根据句意,更自然的是说“小包装被提供”,即被动语态。故填 could be offered。
could be offered
虚拟语气考点
单句语法填空
2. (2026·福建泉州·三模) As artist and anthropologist Desmond Morris put it, “It is as if the human species _____ (be) incapable of being artless regardless of material circumstances.”
【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意:正如艺术家兼人类学家德斯蒙德·莫里斯所说:“就好像人类这个物种,无论物质条件如何,都注定无法脱离艺术而存在”。本题中主句是 It is(现在时),说明说话人是在描述当下的一种看法或判断。“人类这个物种似乎不可能没有艺术”——是对现在普遍情况的一种假设性描述(并非事实,而是一种观点)。因此,从句要用与现在事实相反的虚拟语气,即动词用过去式。故填were。
were
3.(2026·湖北十堰·三模)I finally gathered my courage. “Dan,” I stammered out, “If I had the choice, I ___________________ (choose) you.”
【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意:我终于鼓起了勇气。“丹,”我结结巴巴地说,“如果我有选择的话,我(当初)会选你。”本题考查的是错综时间条件句(混合虚拟语气)。根据语境推理,说话人 “终于鼓起勇气”说明这是一个过去发生的场景——他/她此刻正在对 Dan 表白或坦白。“如果我有选择”这个条件,指的是在当时那个过去的情境下,如果有选择权的话,当初就会选你。故填would have chosen。
would have chosen
4.(2026·浙江宁波·模拟预测)Experts advise that we ________________ (not cut) out carbs totally. Instead, we are supposed to reduce refined grains and increase whole grains, beans and tubers.
【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意:专家建议我们不要完全戒掉碳水化合物。相反,我们应该减少精制谷物,增加全谷物、豆类和块茎类食物的摄入。表示“建议、命令、要求”如 advise, suggest, recommend, demand, order, insist, propose 等)动词后接 that 从句时,从句谓语用 “(should) + 动词原形” 的虚拟语气结构。故填(should) not cut。
(should) not cut
5.(2026·湖南长沙·二模)Some other fans were ordered that they _____________ (show) the very Western patterns that in turn exposed the Chinese to a different culture far away.
【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意:其他一些粉丝被命令展示那些非常西方的图案,而这些图案反过来又让中国人接触到一种遥远的异域文化。表示“建议、命令、要求”如 advise, suggest, recommend, demand, order, insist, propose 等)动词后接 that 从句,或变成被动形式、转化为名词时,其后的从句谓语用 “(should) + 动词原形” 的虚拟语气结构。故填(should) show。
(should) show
6.(2026·浙江杭州·模拟预测)Despite his rise to fame, Wang remains grounded, insisting that he _________________ (continue) his work as a delivery rider and writing poetry.
【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意:尽管成名,王计兵仍然脚踏实地,坚持继续做一名外卖骑手并写诗。表示“建议、命令、要求”如 advise, suggest, recommend, demand, order, insist, propose 等)动词后接 that 从句时,从句谓语用 “(should) + 动词原形” 的虚拟语气结构。故填(should) continue。

除非我们得到更多资金,否则我们可能会按时完成这个项目。(将来可能性)
Unless we get more funding, we may [could, might] finish the project on time.
Unless we get more funding, we can finish the project on time.
你的分析可能是正确的,但数据表明并非如此。(现在可能性)

He cannot be the thief, for he was giving a keynote speech at that time.
他不可能是小偷,因为当时他正在做主题演讲。
(3)表示祝愿(不用might)

May your future be as bright as your smile! 愿你的未来如笑容般灿烂。
(4)may / might as well最好还是……,不妨

3. 写作中情态动词和虚拟语气误区警示
1. 表达的单调性
例如:在写一封建议信时,如果向好友表达建议,重复使用You should...既显得单调,同时“你应该......”等强硬的语气又会影响交际效果。我们可以灵活多样地表达建议,如You’d better.../You might as well.../Why not...?等。
Maybe you’d better clarify what you meant by that message.
或许你该说清楚那条信息到底什么意思。
The couple shared a house but never spoke; they might as well have been strangers.

4. 实 战 通 关
题组一 情态动词集训
I.单句语法填空
1. The truth ________ come out in the end, no matter how hard they try to hide it.
【解析】must 句意:真相最终必然会水落石出,不管他们如何试图掩盖。根据句意为判断,此处表示“(肯定的)推测”。故填must。
2. There ________ be no excuse for such irresponsible behavior during the crisis.
【解析】can 句意:在危机期间,这种不负责任的行为绝无任何借口可言。根据句意为判断,此处表示“(否定的)推测”。否定推测一般用can’t / couldn’t + 动词原形。故填can。
3. ________ I hand in my essay a day later? I need more time to polish it.
【解析】May / Can / Could 句意:我可以晚一天交论文吗?我需要更多时间润色。may一般表示非常正式、礼貌的语气,适合对陌生人或长辈使用。适用场景:正式场合、书面请求,或对需要特别尊重的人。Can / Could语气上更加委婉。故填May / Can / Could。
4. She ________ have been very nervous during the interview; otherwise she would have answered that question better.
【解析】must 句意:她面试时一定非常紧张;否则她本可以把那个问题回答得更好的。must此处表示肯定推测。must + 现在完成时表示对过去情况的确定性推测(根据已有迹象判断)。本句中,事实是她没答好,所以推测她当时紧张了 (原因)。故填must。
5. When I was in high school, I ________ get up at 6:00 every morning and read English aloud for half an hour.
【解析】would 句意:我上高中时,每天早上6点都会起床,然后大声读半小时英语。would可以表示过去习惯性动作。“would + 动词原形”用于描述过去规律性、重复性的行为(常搭配时间频率词如 every Sunday, always, often)。本句中every morning (每天早晨)明确提示这是过去的固定习惯。
6. All participants in the competition ________ submit their works before December 1st.
【解析】shall 句意:所有参赛者必须在12月1日之前提交他们的作品。shall在正式规则中表示强制性义务(≈ must),常见于法律、规章或权威指令。现代英语中,must或are to更口语化。但shall保留正式性。
7. If the weather is this hot tomorrow, we ________ as well give up the idea of playing tennis in the afternoon.
【解析】may / might 句意:如果明天天气这么热,我们下午还是放弃打网球吧。may/might as well是固定搭配。may / might as well + 动词原形表示“不妨;还不如”,用于建议或无奈接受某种选择。本句中因天气太热,打网球不现实,因此“不如放弃”。may as well稍正式,语气更中性。might as well更口语化,隐含更多“无奈”或“勉强”。
8. We ________ have checked the weather forecast before hiking.
【解析】should 句意:我们远足前本应查看天气预报的。should (not) have + 过去分词表示与过去事实相反的假设,强调“本应做而未做”或“本不应做却做了”。语气上表示自责/遗憾或批评/指责。
9. He arrived late for the meeting. He ________ have been caught in a traffic jam.
【解析】must 句意:他开会迟到了。他一定是遇上堵车了。must have + 过去分词表肯定推测。根据开会迟到(客观证据),推断路上堵车(确定性结论)。语气强度90%以上把握(几乎确定)。前半句He arrived late for the meeting.是推测的依据,需用must have been caught 连接因果。
10. She ________ not come to the office tomorrow; she can work from home.
【解析】need 句意:她明天不必来办公室;她可以在家办公。need not表示“不必”。need 作情态动词时,直接加 not 构成否定(无需助动词)。语义上相当于don’t need to (不需要),但后者更正式或书面化。后半句she can work from home提供了“无需担心”的理由,与 need not的逻辑完美契合。
题组二 虚拟语气集训
1. “How I wish I ________ (go) to the concert tonight, but I have to babysit my little brother.
【解析】could join 句意:我多希望今晚能去听音乐会啊,但我得照顾弟弟。How I wish表达对现在或未来的强烈愿望,但隐含现实无法实现的遗憾。需接与事实相反的虚拟语气,动词用过去式(表现在)或could/would + 动词原形(表能力/意愿)。这里用could go表示能力上希望做到但实际不能(因不得不照顾弟弟)。
2. If I had learned to play the guitar when I was young, I ________ (join) the band.
【解析】would have joined 句意:如果我小时候学了吉他,我就加入乐队了。根据前面从句中的时态可知,此空表示对过去事情的假设,应该用“would + have done”结构。
3. Had the teacher not explained it again, the class ________ (stick) on that problem.
【解析】would have been stuck 句意:如果老师没再解释一遍,全班都会卡在这道题上。前句是省略 if 的倒装句,表示与过去事实相反的假设(实际老师解释了)。主句需用 would/could/might + have + 过去分词表假设结果。be stuck on是固定搭配,意为“被卡住/困在...”。全句逻辑是“若老师未解释,班级会卡在题目上”。→ 但实际老师解释了,班级未受困。
4. One of the main requirements is that applicants ________ (have) at least two years of experience.
【解析】(should) have 句意:主要要求之一是申请者至少有两年工作经验。名词requirement后接 that从句时,需用 (should) + 动词原形的虚拟语气形式。should可省略(尤其美式英语),但保留更正式。主句动词(如 propose, suggest, recommend, insist)表示建议、要求、命令时,从句用虚拟语气。
5. The painting was so vivid that it seemed as if the figures in it ________ (come) to life; never before had I seen such a masterpiece.
【解析】had come 句意:那幅画如此逼真,仿佛画中的人物都活了过来;我以前从未见过这样的杰作。as if / as though引导的从句需用虚拟语气,表示“与事实相反的行为或状态”。根据主句时态(was so vivid, 过去式),从句需用过去完成时(had come),表示“假装某事在过去未发生“但实际已发生”。
6. The regulations require that all passengers ________ (check) before boarding.
【解析】(should) be checked 句意:规定要求所有乘客登机前接受检查。动词 require后接that从句时,需用“(should) + 动词原形”的虚拟语气形式。should可省略(尤其美式英语),但保留更正式。从句中主语all passengers是动作check的承受者,需用被动语态be checked。
7. Only after failing the exam did she admit that she ________ (follow) her teacher’s advice.
【解析】should have followed 句意:直到考试不及格后,她才承认自己本应该听从老师的建议的。should have + 过去分词表示“过去本应做某事却未做”,强调后悔或遗憾。时间逻辑:Only after failing the exam (考试不及格)是过去时间点。反思的内容(follow her teacher’s advice)发生在考试不及格前,属于过去的时间,需用完成时should have followed。
8. He talks about the world as if he ________ (travel) everywhere, but he’s never left his hometown.
【解析】had travel(l)ed 句意:他谈论起世界来,仿佛他去过所有地方一样,但他从未离开过家乡。as if / as though引导的从句需用虚拟语气,表示“与事实相反的比较”。此处he’s never left隐含“假设去过,但实际没去过”,故用虚拟语气。此空是对过去事情的假设,故填had travel(l)ed。
9. If only she ________ (choose) to study medicine instead of law — she might have saved more lives.
【解析】had chosen 句意:要是她当时选择学医而不是法律就好了——她本可能挽救更多生命。If only+过去完成时(had done)表示“与过去事实相反的强烈愿望”。她当时选择学医,说明是过去的动作。故需用 had chosen 表达“本可发生却未发生”的遗憾。
10. But for the central bank’s intervention, the financial crisis ________ (wipe) out millions of savings.
【解析】might / would have wiped 句意:要不是中央银行的干预,金融危机本会抹去数百万人的储蓄。But for是虚拟语气的正式表达,相当于If it had not been for或 Without,表示“如果没有某事物,结果会不同”。主句需用虚拟语气:would have wiped是确定性推测(必然抹去);might have wiped:可能性推测(可能抹去,语气稍弱)。

This summer’s heatwaves might have seemed ordinary, but the records we see must be a warning. Without action, such temperatures 1 soon become normal, turning cities into “baking pans”. Thermometers should not be rising so fast, yet they are, threatening the elderly. We cannot pretend we are innocent.
The primary driver of this crisis 2 be our relentless consumption of fossil fuels. Burning coal and gas releases vast amounts of greenhouse gases, trapping heat like a thick blanket over our planet. The world cannot afford to ignore this reality any longer. Without immediate intervention, the polar ice caps 3 melt faster than scientists had predicted, leading to catastrophic flooding in coastal cities. Governments 4 prioritize renewable energy, yet many still hesitate, as if they 5 (be) unaware of the urgency. To make matters worse, deforestation continues at an alarming rate, and without forests, we 6 lose our planet’s natural cooling system. Every citizen should adopt a low-carbon lifestyle, because every small action counts.
The effects of this crisis 7 be more severe than we imagine. If we fail to reduce carbon emissions today, our children might not have a chance to see polar bears in the wild. But for the collective efforts of environmental activists, public awareness 8 (remain) low. If only world leaders had taken stronger action a decade ago, we might not be facing such extreme weather now. However, it is not too late to make a difference. We must act now, for there is no Planet B. 9 we continue on this path of destruction, future generations would never forgive us. It is high time that we 10 (take) responsibility for our planet and built a sustainable future together. We must remember that the earth does not belong to us; we belong to the earth.

【导语】本文围绕全球高温现象,从原因、影响与行动三个层面展开论述,指出极端天气并非自然波动,而是人类过度消耗化石燃料的直接后果。文章不仅呼吁政府优先发展可再生能源、公民践行低碳生活,更强化了紧迫感与劝诫色彩。全文旨在唤醒读者对气候危机的清醒认知,并鼓励从当下做出改变。
1. would 考查含蓄虚拟语气(without + 名词,对将来推测)。句意:如果不采取行动,这样的高温很快就会成为常态。Without action 等于 If we don’t act now,是对将来情况的假设,主句用 would + 动词原形表示“将会(必然趋势)”。
2. must 考查must 表肯定推测(高确定性)。句意:这场危机的主要驱动力一定是我们对化石燃料的无休止消耗。基于科学共识,作者对原因有充分把握,用 must be 表示“肯定是”,语气最强。
3. might 考查含蓄虚拟语气(without + 名词,对将来可能性的弱推测)。句意:如果不立即干预,极地冰盖可能会比科学家预测的融化得更快。might melt 比 would melt 语气更委婉、不确定,符合科学推测的严谨性(“有可能但不绝对”)。
4. should / ought to 考查情态动词表义务、责任(道义上“应该”)。句意:各国政府应该优先发展可再生能源。should / ought to 均表示“按理应当”,语气弱于 must(强制),强于 could(建议)。两者在此处完全可互换。
5. were 考查as if 引导的表语从句,对现在虚拟(be动词一律用 were)。句意:……仿佛它们没有意识到紧迫性(实际上它们应该意识到)。as if 后接 were,表示与现在事实相反的假设。不论主语是 they 还是 he,be 动词都用 were。
6. would 考查含蓄虚拟语气(without + 名词,对将来必然结果)。句意:没有森林,我们将会失去地球的自然降温系统。would lose 是对“无森林后果”的确定性推演,比 might 语气更肯定。
7. could 考查could 表可能性推测(比 may 委婉,比 might 稍肯定)。句意:这场危机的影响可能比我们想象的更严重。could be 表示“有可能”,语气介于 may 和 might 之间,常用于客观陈述不确定后果。
8. would have remained 考查含蓄虚拟语气(but for + 名词,对过去虚拟)。句意:要不是环保人士的集体努力,公众意识本会一直很低。but for 等于 If it had not been for,主句用 would have done 表示“过去本会发生但实际未发生”。
9. Should 考查倒装虚拟语气(省略 if,将 should 提前,表将来假设)。句意:万一我们继续走上这条毁灭之路,后代将永远不会原谅我们。Should we continue = If we should continue,表示对将来的“万一”假设,语气正式且具有警告色彩。
10. took 考查It is high time that + 过去时(固定虚拟结构)。句意:是时候我们承担起对地球的责任了。It is high time that 后必须用一般过去时(took),表示“早该做了,现在该做了”,不用 should take(不可省 should)。

Oil Crisis: What If We Had Prepared Earlier?
The global oil market is trembling. Prices are rising, supply is shrinking, and panic is spreading. But what if we 1 (see) this coming a decade ago? If major economies 2 (invest) heavily in renewable energy back then, they would not be begging for oil today. If every nation had reduced its dependence on fossil fuels, the current crisis might have been avoided entirely. Yet here we are, as if we 3 (learn) nothing from the 1970s oil shocks.
Without Russian oil, Europe 4 (freeze) last winter. Without OPEC’s production cuts, gas prices would not have hit record highs. But for the war in Ukraine, energy supplies 5 (remain) stable. Had Middle Eastern countries maintained their output, inflation would not have spiraled out of control. If only Western leaders had acted sooner, they would have built enough reserves to survive the storm. Instead, they are now negotiating desperately, as if they 6 (unprepare) completely.
What if we treated this crisis as a final warning? If every country 7 (shift) to solar and wind power within the next five years, oil dependence would gradually fade. Should the world unite around clean energy, future generations would never suffer from oil wars. Without this crisis, we 8 (continue) our wasteful habits forever. But now, we must act. It is high time that we 9 (transform) our energy systems. Without immediate action, our children would inherit a planet choked by conflict and carbon. We had better remember that oil will not last forever. 10 we ignore this truth, history would never forgive us. If only we had started this transition twenty years ago — but perhaps it is not too late to begin today.
