情态动词的用法复杂多变,在高考试题中占的比重一直比较稳定,每年总有一至两个题,可以单独考查,也可以结合虚拟语气考查。命题者常常利用语境和句子之间意义上的细微差别来考查考生对情态动词的理解和掌握,难度也保持较为稳定的趋势。其考点主要包括:
1.考查情态动词的基本用法。如: can和could的用法及区别; will和would的用法及区别; must的用法; shall用于不同人称时的用法和should的各种用法; need的用法等。
2.考查情态动词的“推测”功能。如:can,could,may,might,must 皆可表示推测,使用时要注意以下几点:(1)注意语气。语气较强用must, cannot,couldn't; 语气较弱用may,might或can,could; (2)注意句式。在肯定句中,一般用may,might,must; 在否定句、疑问句中常用can,could; (3)注意时态。表示对现在或将来的情况的推测,此时通常用“情态动词+动词原形”结构; 表示对现在或将来正在进行的情况进行推测,通常用“情态动词+进行体”结构; 表示对过去情况的推测,通常用“情态动词+完成体”结构。
3.考查情态动词的特殊用法。如:
(1)cannot/can't 与too/over/enough/perfectly/sufficiently 等词连用,意为“越……越……”“无论怎样……,……也不为过”“决不会……,……够(过)”。
(2)cannot wait to do sth意为“急于做某事”。
(3)would 和used to的区别; can 和be able to的区别。
(4)“may/might well+动词原形”意为“理应,有足够的理由”; “may/might as well+动词原形”意为“还不如,不妨,还是……的好”。
(5)must意为“偏要,硬要”; can用在肯定句中,可以表示客观上的可能性; shall用在法律、条约、协定等文件中可以表示义务、规定等; should表示估计或推测上的“应该”,意为“可能,该,估计,按理应当”; will 可以表示习惯性和倾向性,意为“惯于,老是,终归是”等。
(6)在句型 it is (high) time that中,从句谓语动词常用过去时态表示虚拟语气。
4.考查虚拟语气在各种从句以及隐含、混合等句中的运用。如:wish,as if/though,if only,would rather,otherwise, without等。
5.考查虚拟语气在条件状语从句中的倒装现象。
第一部分、情态动词
一、can/could与be able to

虚拟情况
从句谓语
主句谓语
例句
与现在事
实相反
过去式
(be用were)

过去式

二、“should+动词原形”表示的虚拟语气
这一类型常见词有“一坚持(insist)、二命令(order, command)、三建议(advise, suggest, propose)、四要求(request, require, demand, desire)”。以上词及其派生名词所接的名词性从句都使用“(should+)动词原形”的虚拟语气。

A. might B. must C. would D. should
【考点】考察情态动词特殊用法
【答案】C
【解析】考查情态动词。Might也许;可能;must一定,必须;非得,偏偏;would将要,会;过去常常;should应该,竟然;本句中的would表过去的习惯性动作,可译为“过去常常”,现在可能还会继续做下去。区别于used to do过去常常做某事,通常表示现在已经不这样做了。句意:我仍然记得我那幸福的童年,在那时我的母亲常常在周末带我去迪斯尼乐园。其余三项与上下文语境不相符。故C正确。
