练习解析

1．本句意为：如果你不想，你……读那篇文章。A表示“没有读”，B表示“不能读”，C表示“一定不能读”，显然都不符合句意。选D，意为“不必读”。
2．本句意为：我……把这件事立即做完，否则就太晚了。B表示“能”，C表示“可以”，D表示“也许”，意思都不对。选A，表示“我必须把这件事立即做完，否则就太晚了”。
3．本句意为：房间是黑的，布朗一家(定冠词the+姓氏的复数，表示一家人)肯定已经睡觉了。go to bed(上床睡觉)这个动作应该在说话前就发生了，是对过去发生的动作表示推测，用must+have done，应该选D。
4．must have done表示对过去的事情的肯定推测。本句意为： “那辆车肯定花了不少钱。”“不，……。”按照意思推理应该是“没有花很多钱”，应该用过去时态。it didn’t cost a lot of money，省略相同的部分应该为it didn’t。选D。
5．从for引导的原因状语从句判断，“我一点都记不得那天晚上发生的事了”前面的主句应该是“我肯定是在角落里睡着了”。对过去发生动作的肯定推测，用must have done，选C。
6．本句意为：“我感到恶心”。“我不该吃这么多巧克力”。表示不该做某事但却做了，应该用shouldn’t have done。选D。
7．本句意为：我的钱包到处都找不到。肯定是在车上的时候，我把它弄掉了。对过去情况的肯定推测，用must have done，所以选A。
8．本句意为：格林先生……我的信，否则他应该已经回信了。据此可以判断，格林先生没有收到我的信，排除A，C。这里是对过去有没有收到信进行推测，应该用must have done所以选B。fail to do表示“做某事不成功”。
9．could have done表示过去能够，但却没有做到。本句意为：你昨天本来能做得更好。为什么没有做到呢?如果用完整的句子是：Why didn’t you do much better yesterday?省略形式为Why didn’t you?选A。
10．本句意为：他们做了他们不应该做的事。表示不该做而做了，应该用shouldn’t have done或ought not to have done，选C。
11．had better do表示“最好做某事”，选C。
12．本句意为：我觉着他肯定是出事了，否则他会准时到的。对过去发生的情况进行推测，用must have done。选D。
13．本句意为：他们在路上肯定出什么事了。否则他们现在应该到了。表示应该发生而没有发生，用should have done。选A。
14．本句意为：“你来参加杰夫的晚会吗？”“我不能确定。我……去听音乐会。”既然是I‘m not sure．(我不能确定)那么后面应该是“我也许会去干什么”。“也许”应该用might。这里，might不是may的过去式，只是表示更不太可能发生的事。选D。
15．根据语境“我的哥哥要来看我”说明“不是我不愿意，而是我不能那样做”。再者，当will用于第二人称提问的问句中，表达的是一种请求，其肯定回答可用sure／certainly／I’d be glad to等；否定回答常是I'm sorry I can’t．I’d like to，but…等。选B。
16．根据句意，这是对“过去不可能去滑雪”的推测，应该用couldn’t，表示否定推测“不可能”。选C。
17．would rather do表示‘‘宁愿”，疑问句中would可以提到主语前面，选B。
18．本句意为：我真的为你感到着急。你不应该不说一声就走了。表示过去不应该做而做了，应该用shouldn’t have done，选B。
19．本句意为：有人朝这边走来了。可能是谁呢?表示推测，又是在疑问句中，用can，选D。注意：must表推测用在肯定句中。
20．may开头的疑问句，否定回答常用mustn’t，表示“一定不行”，语气很强，选A
