看高考试题学情态动词

1、看高考试题，学情态动词一、近几年有关情态动词高考试题的命题规律：情态动词主要用来表示说话人的情感、态度等，是中学英语语法的重点，也是高考的热点，是单项填空必考的一个知识点。情态动词在近五年高考中主要考查四点：情态动词表示推测和可能性的用法；情态动词与虚拟语气；情态动词的表达“情感、态度、语气等”，情态动词表示 “必要性”等方面的用法。请看近五年有关情态动词与虚拟语气考点分布表：年份推测情态动词与虚拟语气情感、态度必要性其他2004403602005130220200632242200763133200873121合计3389177二、情态动词试题的突破方法：(1) 学生首先从整体上把握情态动词

2、的语法和语义特征。(2) 逐个学习，了解每个情态动词的用法特征，尤其要熟练掌握一些常用或常考情态动词的基本用法并认真区别具有相同功能的、意思相近的情态动词的用法。(3) 收集并熟练掌握真实的口语材料和近几年高考有关情态动词的试题，在真实的语境中去体会、领悟、印证、掌握情态动词的用法特征和常见考点。三、情态动词的解题技巧：(1) 认真审题，结合所给出的语境，正确把握说话者的语气、情感、态度、观点等。(2) 认真思考所给选项中情态动词的基本特征和用法，并结合语境推敲答案。(3) 要注意把握时间概念。情态动词无论是表达“推测和可能性”，还是表达“虚拟”这一概念，只要是对过去已经发生的事情进行描述，一

3、律用“情态动词+have done”这一结构；对现在或将来的事情进行描述，用“情态动词+动词或系动词原形”。例如：（NMET2008山东，24）Thank you for all your hard work last week. I dont think we _ it without you. A. can manage B. could have managedC. could manage D. can have managed根据题干中所给出的时间last week可知我们已经做完了工作，已经完成，故排除A、C两项，再结合could have done表示虚拟语气以及与前面的I do

4、nt think，故说话者想表达的意思是：离开了你，我们本不可能完成这项工作。故答案为B项。四、情态动词用法归类与高考试题分析：（一）表示推测的情态动词对现在或将来情况推测，用情态动词+do / be / be doing；对过去的推测，用情态动词+have done / been；表示肯定推测的情态动词按可能性大小依次为 must, should / ought to, may, might, could；否定推测，常用cant / couldnt，译为“根本不可能”、“想必不会”，表示推测的语气非常肯定，may not, might not或could not译为“可能不”、“也许不”，表

5、示推测的语气不很肯定。 (1) must表示推测，意为“一定”，只能用于肯定句中。 must have done意为：一定做过某事或某事肯定发生了。 例如： (NMET2007 江苏)She looks very happy. She _ have passed the exam.I guess so. Its not difficult after all. A. should B. could C. must D. might【解析】句意为：她看上去很高兴，一定是通过了考试。【答案】C(2) should (not) / ought (not) to在中表示根据常规或常识推测，表示“某事应

6、该或不应该发生”，语气比must或cant / couldnt稍弱。例如： (NMET2007全国I)Hows your tour around the North Lake? Is it beautiful?It _ be, but it is now heavily polluted.A. will B. would C. should D. must 【解析】should此处表示推测，意为“应该”。【答案】C(NMET2005上海)There _ be any difficulty about passing the road test since you have practiced

7、a lot in the driving school. A. mustnt B. shant C. shouldnt D. neednt【解析】句意：既然你在驾校进行了大量训练，那么通过道路测试按理不应该有困难。【答案】C(3) can, could表达推测时，一般用于疑问句和否定句中；can用于肯定句中表示一种理论上的可能性，并不牵涉是否真的会发生，在这种用法中can只能与动词原形连用；could用于肯定句中，语气比may/ might更弱。例如： （NMET2008浙江）You _ be hungry already you had lunch only two hours ago! A

8、. wouldnt B. cant C. mustnt D. neednt（NMET2008天津）She _ have left school, for her bike is still here.

10、eling. A. will B. can C. must D. may【解析】may well为固定搭配，意为：很可能，极有可能。【答案】 (NMET2008四川) Although this _ sound like a simple task, great care is needed. A. must B. may C. shall D. should【解析】这听起来或许是一项简单的任务，但却需要极大的细心。【答案】B (NMET2008重庆)I cant find my purse anywhere. You _ have lost it while shopping. A. may

11、 B. can C. should D. would【解析】结合语境可知，回答者是在提醒对方：或许购物时把钱包丢了。【答案】A（二）表达虚拟语气的情态动词对过去的一种结果的假设或虚拟，用情态动词+have done这一结构，常用的有以下几个情态动词：(1) should (not) / ought (not) to have done本（不）应该做某事，但却没有做或做了，含有责备或后悔之意。例如：（NMET2008江苏）Im sorry. I _at you the other day.Forget it. I was a bit out of control myself. A. shoul

12、dnt shout B. shouldnt have shoutedC. mustnt shoutC. mustnt have shouted【解析】对不起，我那天本不应该对你大喊大叫的。【答案】B (2) could have done本来能够做某事但未做。例如：（NMET2008山东）Thank you for all your hard work last week.

13、干中所给出的时间last week可知我们已经做完了工作，已经完成，故排除A、C两项，再结合could have done表示虚拟语气以及与前面的I dont think，故说话者想表达的意思是：离开了你，我们本不可能完成这项工作。【答案】B(3) neednt have done本没有必要做某事但却做了。要注意neednt do则表达“没有必要去做某事”，时间上应该是现在或将来。例如：(NMET2005福建)Catherine, I have cleaned the room for you.Thanks.

14、dnt do B. neednt have done C. mustnt do D. shouldnt have done【解析】根据句意可知Catherine对对方为她打扫了房间表示感谢并提到对方不必为她打扫房间。【答案】B(NMET2007上海春) The boss has given everyone a special holiday, so we go to work tomorrow.

15、(不)会发生某事，但却（发生了）或没有发生。常用于虚拟条件句或含蓄虚拟条件引导的虚拟语气，表示对过去所发生事情结果的假设。例如：(NMET2001上海春) He hesitated for a moment before kicking the ball, otherwise, he _ a goal. A. had scored B. scored C. would score D. would have scored【解析】句中otherwise为含蓄条件，相当于if he had not hesitated for a moment before kicking the ball，这是对

16、过去的一种虚拟假设。【答案】D(5) might have done表示“本来可能”，但实际上没有发生的事。例如：(NMET2008江西)What a pity! Considering his ability and experience, he _ better. A. need have done B. must have doneC. can have done D. might have done【解析】真是可惜！考虑到他的能力和经验，他本来可以做得更好的。【答案】D（三）表达“情感、态度、语气” 等方面的情态动词1. must表达“情感、态度、语气”主要有以下用法：(1) 表示主观

17、的义务和必要，主要用于肯定句和疑问句，意思为“必须，得，要”；由must引起的疑问句，肯定回答要用must或have to， 否定回答要用neednt或dont have to,意思是“不必”。另外，must与have to都可以表示“必须”这一含义。must表示一种主观的需要，而have to表示一种客观的需要，意思是“不得不”，其否定形式是don have to。 例如：(NMET2008陕西)-What sort of house do you want to have?
