　　【典型例題】

　　1. —Do you think he will do me a favor ?

　　—As far as I know, he is the last one to help others. He _____ be prepared to give you a hand, though.

　　A. might B. must C. can D. should

　　分析：本題考查情態(tài)動詞推測性用法。 根據(jù)he is the last one to help others.(他是最不可能幫助別人的人)，既然如此，那么“幫助你”的可能性也就最小了。 答案為A

　　2. —Look, someone is coming. Guess who it ____ be ?

　　—I think it ___ be Tom.

　　—I don’t think it ___ be ____ .

　　A. can ; must ; can ; he B. may ; can ; must ; him

　　C. must ; can ; must ; his D. might ; must ; can ; himself

　　分析：根據(jù)備選答案。 can表示推測時用于疑問句或否定句中。本題首句就應(yīng)該是Guess who can it be? 第二句應(yīng)該是I think it must be Tom.(說話人十分肯定)。第三句表達(dá)了說話人對前一個人的否定。即：I don’t think it can be him/he.(不可能是他)。答案為A

　　3. —Do you know Ms. Wang likes walking after supper ?

　　—Sure. She ____ around the campus now.

　　A. must be walking B. must walk

　　C. may walk D. may be walking

　　分析：關(guān)鍵詞Sure告訴我們說話人的口氣十分肯定。根據(jù)句子語境：她此刻肯定正在校園散步呢。must be doing表示肯定正在做。答案為A

　　4. —I stayed at a hotel in New York.

　　—Oh, did you ? You _____ with Barbara.

　　A. could have stayed B. could stay C. would say D. must have stayed
