专题八 情态动词与虚拟语气
1.【2014届江苏省无锡市洛社高级中学等三校高三12月联考】It be the vocabulary that caused you the problem in the exercise because you know a lot of words.
A. may B. couldn’t C. should D. needn’t
1.【解析】B考查情态动词。句意：因为你已经掌握了很多单词，所以，引起你练习中出现问题的因素不可能是词汇。A也许；B不可能；C应当；D不需要。couldn’t 是非常肯定的推测。故选B项。
2.【2014届云南省部分名校高三第一次联考】—Would you mind if I set out earlier tomorrow morning?
— Well, I’d rather you _______.
A. don’t B. didn’t C. won’t D. wouldn’t
2.【解析】B考查虚拟语气的用法。句意：—如果明天早上早点动身你介意吗？—嗯，我宁愿你不。would rather后面的句子用动词的过去式表达虚拟语气。故选B项。
3.【2014届福建省厦门一中高三上学期期中】----- How did you do in the test ?
----- Not so well. I ______ much better but I misread the directions for Part D.
A. could have done B. could do C. must have done D. should do
3.【解析】A考查情态动词。句意：——你考试做得怎么样？——不太好。我本能够做得更好的，但我读错了D部分的说明。对过去时态的推测，用情态动词+ have done，A本能够做；C过去一定做。故选A项。
