二、4招帮你解决情态动词相关的题目
方法1 意义判断法
所谓意义判断法就是分析语境并确定应填情态动词的含义。因此熟练掌握每个情态动词的意义和用法是做题的前提。
典例展示 I ________ worry about my weekend—I always have my plans ready before it comes.
答案 needn’t
解析 needn’t意为“不必”。句意:我不必担心我的周末——我总是没等到周末就把计划安排好了。
方法2 句型判断法
有些情态动词需要用在特定的句型中,如may表示推测时,往往用在肯定或否定句中;must表
示推测只能用于肯定句中。运用此法就是通过分析所给句子的句型特点,选用具有特定句型特点的情态动词。
典例展示 You mustn’t have told him the news; he knew it already.________
答案 mustn’t→ needn’t
解析 本句意为“你本来不必要告诉他这条消息的,因为他早就知道了。”表示“不必”用needn’t,而mustn’t意为“千万不,不允许”。
方法3 语气判断法
情态动词主要表示说话人的语气、情感或态度,所以在解答此类试题时,一定要注意说话者的语气(这也是解题的难点),这就要求正确理解句子,从说话者的角度去考虑问题,结合具体的语境来分析和判断,最后确定所需情态动词是否符合特定的情感需要。
典例展示 —May I take this book out of the reading room?
—No,you ________.You read it in here.
答案 mustn’t
解析 表示禁止,“一定不,不准许”。
方法4 人称判断法
有些情态动词在表达某个意义时,要与特定的人称连用,这为我们选择正确答案提供了方向。
典例展示 It has been announced that candidates ________ remain in their seats until all the papers have been collected.
答案 shall
解析 shall用于第二、三人称,表示说话人给对方的命令、警告、允诺、威胁等意思。

Spending time outdoors in our country’s National Park system can bring you closer to nature.Sometimes,it can bring the nature closer to you than you ever expected.It isn’t uncommon for Park visitors to happen upon baby animals,seemingly helpless and defenseless against all of the great outdoors.
Animals such as bears and cougars(美洲狮) may look harmless and lovely if they are found as babies;it is never a good idea to get too close to them,even if they look abandoned,because their mother may not be far away and will attack to protect her
offspring.In cases like these,the only option is to contact a local park ranger(管理员),or contact the US Fish and Wildlife Service at 1800344WILD,so they can direct the proper authorities to help the babies.
During the spring,wildlife groups are overwhelmed with the public calling about orphaned baby deer;the fawns(小鹿) were “rescued” by wellmeaning people,but usually the fawns didn’t need any help at all.Mother deer will leave their fawn to find food,and the fawn will instinctively lie down and try to blend into its surroundings.If you spot a tiny fawn in the underbrush,please don’t disturb it.If it is removed,the mother won’t be able to find it,and the fawn’s chance of being able to live a natural life in the outdoors is diminished.
Unless they are very young,foxes,wolves,raccoons,and coyotes can be dangerous even as young.If babies of this type are found alone in a National Park,it is advisable to find a park ranger for assistance.In most instances,unless you are trained in wildlife or zoological skills,assistance is the best option;not only for your safety,but for the wellbeing of the orphaned or lost animal.Never attempt to save an injured adult animal by yourself,and never try to get a baby animal away from its mother.

A.they are afraid of humans
B.they don’t need human’s help
C.their mothers may attack us
D.they are not abandoned

3.What should we do if we find a fawn in the wild?
A.Leave it where it is.
B.Bring it to the authorities.
C.Contact the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
D.Try to find its mother.
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Baby animals present no threat to humans.
B.Common people can save an injured animal themselves.
C.We should leave an injured adult animal alone.
D.An injured animal may hurt people.
