【教师版】(含完整答案与超详解析)
一、语法地图
【对应单元】人教版2024 · 九年级下册 · Unit 2 A Look into the Past
【中考考法】单项选择、完形填空、短文填空中考查根据语境判断推测语气强弱(must/may/might/could/can't),以及对过去推测的情态动词 + have done 结构。分值约2~4分。
【卷面总分】本卷满分 54 分。
推测语气强弱
结构形式
must(一定)肯定推测,证据充分
must + do/be
may / might / could(可能/也许)不确定
may/might/could + do/be
can't(不可能)否定推测,证据充分
can't + do/be
对正在进行的推测
情态动词 + be + doing
对过去/已完成的推测
情态动词 + have + done
二、语法要点精讲
结构
用法
例句
中考注意
must + do/be
有把握的肯定推测(只用于肯定句)
The bronze mask must belong to ancient Shu people.
这个青铜面具一定属于古蜀人。
[★常考] 否定推测不用 mustn't,而用 can't
may/might/could + do/be
把握不大的可能性推测
That small jade piece might be a kid's toy long ago.
那件小玉件或许是古时候小孩的玩具。
might / could 语气比 may 更弱、更不确定
can't + do/be
有把握的否定推测
This modern coin can't be from the Tang Dynasty.
这枚现代硬币不可能出自唐代。
[⚠️易错] mustn't 表'禁止',不表推测
情态动词 + be + doing
对正在发生的事情进行推测
She must be doing her homework at home now.
现在她一定正在家里做作业。
情态动词 + have + done
对过去或已完成事件的推测
The ground is wet. It must have rained last night.
地面是湿的,昨晚一定下雨了。
[★常考] 本单元阅读高频考点
三、易错点警示
【警示1】mustn't ≠ can't:否定推测的大坑
我带的班常错在把 mustn't 当成 must 的否定推测。记住:mustn't 意思是'禁止、不准',如 Visitors mustn't use flash when taking photos in the exhibition hall.(参观者严禁在展厅拍照时使用闪光灯。)而否定推测必须用 can't,如 He can't be at home.(他不可能在家。)
【警示2】might / could 不是过去式
学生看到 might 就以为是 may 的过去式,看到 could 就以为是 can 的过去式。在表推测时,它们只是语气更弱、更不确定,不表示过去时间。例:It might rain this afternoon.(今天下午也许会下雨。)说的是将来!
【警示3】can 表推测时的句式限制
can 表'可能'时只用于否定句和疑问句,肯定句中表推测要用 may/might/could。比较:Can it be true?(这可能是真的吗?)/ It may be true.(这可能是真的。)/ It can't be true.(这不可能是真的。)
【警示4】have done 前千万别加 be
学生写对过去推测时,常画蛇添足写成 must be have done。正确的结构是:情态动词 + have + 过去分词,中间没有 be。例:He must have known the truth.(他一定已经知道了真相。)
【警示5】对现在的推测用动词原形,不是进行时
除非有明确证据表明动作正在进行,否则对现在的推测用情态动词 + 动词原形即可。别看到 now 就加 be doing。例:He must be tired now.(他现在一定累了。)不是 must be being tired。 但注意:如果语境给出了动作正在进行的直接证据(如 I can hear the pages turning),就要用 must / can't + be + doing 对正在进行的动作进行推测,如 He must be reading in the study.(能听到翻页声,他一定正在书房看书。)

Archaeologists found an object with a curved shape in an ancient tomb. It looks like an animal horn. Dr. Li said, 'It (1)______ be a horn of some kind. The curved shape is very typical.'
However, some researchers disagree. 'We found new evidence that questions the old idea,' said Dr. Wang. 'So the old idea (2)______ be wrong. We need more evidence to be sure.'
Near the tomb, some gray powder was discovered. 'What (3)______ it be?' asked a young archaeologist. Dr. Li guessed, 'It (4)______ be ash, but I'm not sure — it (5)______ also be dust or something else.'
In the special exhibition hall, they found beautiful silk clothing from the Han Dynasty. 'It's so thin and light. It (6)______ be very heavy. Maybe it weighs only a few hundred grams,' said Dr. Wang.
Looking at the famous mystery of King Tut's death, Dr. Li said, 'There are many theories. It (7)______ be an illness. Ancient records say he was often sick. But we (8)______ be certain without more proof.'
【答案】(1) must(唯一) (2) may / might / could 均可 (3) could / can 均可 (4) might / may / could 均可 (5) could / may / might 均可 (6) can't(唯一) (7) could / may / might 均可 (8) can't(唯一) 【解析】(1) '弯曲的形状非常典型'是确凿证据 → must。(2) '新证据质疑旧观点',不确定 → may。(3) 疑问句中表推测用 could(What could it be?)。(4) '我不确定' → might。(5) '也可能是' → could。(6) '又薄又轻',不可能重 → can't。(7) '有许多理论',不确定 → could。(8) '没有更多证据',不可能确定 → can't。 【考点】综合语境判断情态动词语气强弱

五、答案与超详解析汇总
【评分标准】(练习卷参考使用,分值可按校情调整;本段仅教师版含)
· 基础关(单项选择,第1–12题):每小题1分,共12分。
· 进阶关(语法填空,第1–12题):每空1分,共12分。
· 句型转换(第1–4、7、11题):每空1分,按空给分;拼写或语法错误该空不得分。
· 翻译(第5、6题):每题3分——情态动词选用正确1分;谓语结构(如 have + 过去分词)正确1分;句意完整、表达无误1分。
· 改错(第8、9、12题):找对错误1分,改正正确1分。
· 语篇填空(第10题):每空1分,共8分;答案处标注的可接受备选均给满分。
【答题技巧总结】情态动词推测题解题三步法:
第一步:读语境,找证据。看看句子中有没有给出明确的线索(如时间状语、反证、直接观察等)。
第二步:判断语气。证据充分且肯定 → must;证据充分且否定 → can't;证据不足、不确定 → may/might/could。
第三步:确定时态。对现在/将来 → 情态动词 + 动词原形;对正在进行 → 情态动词 + be + doing;对过去 → 情态动词 + have + 过去分词。
【中考链接】该考点中考常见考法:
· 近年多地中考单选题出现 must / can't 的辨析,常以对话形式呈现证据链。
· 完形填空中常考查 might have done 表示对过去的不确定推测。
· 语法填空中也考查 can't have done 结构,语境如'有不在场证明'。
· 高频陷阱:mustn't 表禁止(学生常误用作否定推测);can 在肯定句中不表推测。

结构
用法
例句
中考注意
must + do/be
有把握的肯定推测(只用于肯定句)
The bronze mask must belong to ancient Shu people.
这个青铜面具一定属于古蜀人。
[★常考] 否定推测不用 mustn't,而用 can't
may/might/could + do/be
把握不大的可能性推测
That small jade piece might be a kid's toy long ago.
那件小玉件或许是古时候小孩的玩具。
might / could 语气比 may 更弱、更不确定
can't + do/be
有把握的否定推测

三、易错点警示
【警示1】mustn't ≠ can't:否定推测的大坑
我带的班常错在把 mustn't 当成 must 的否定推测。记住:mustn't 意思是'禁止、不准',如 Visitors mustn't use flash when taking photos in the exhibition hall.(参观者严禁在展厅拍照时使用闪光灯。)而否定推测必须用 can't,如 He can't be at home.(他不可能在家。)
【警示2】might / could 不是过去式
学生看到 might 就以为是 may 的过去式,看到 could 就以为是 can 的过去式。在表推测时,它们只是语气更弱、更不确定,不表示过去时间。例:It might rain this afternoon.(今天下午也许会下雨。)说的是将来!
【警示3】can 表推测时的句式限制
can 表'可能'时只用于否定句和疑问句,肯定句中表推测要用 may/might/could。比较:Can it be true?(这可能是真的吗?)/ It may be true.(这可能是真的。)/ It can't be true.(这不可能是真的。)
【警示4】have done 前千万别加 be
学生写对过去推测时,常画蛇添足写成 must be have done。正确的结构是:情态动词 + have + 过去分词,中间没有 be。例:He must have known the truth.(他一定已经知道了真相。)
【警示5】对现在的推测用动词原形,不是进行时
除非有明确证据表明动作正在进行,否则对现在的推测用情态动词 + 动词原形即可。别看到 now 就加 be doing。例:He must be tired now.(他现在一定累了。)不是 must be being tired。 但注意:如果语境给出了动作正在进行的直接证据(如 I can hear the pages turning),就要用 must / can't + be + doing 对正在进行的动作进行推测,如 He must be reading in the study.(能听到翻页声,他一定正在书房看书。)
