2013年高考英语试题分类解析
情态动词与虚拟语气
【2013北京】35. --- You needn’t take an umbrella. It isn’t going to rain.
--- Well, I don’t know. It do.
A. might B. need C. would D. should
【答案】A
【解析】考查情态动词。第一个人说不会下雨，第二人回答I don’t know，因此可知，到底下不下雨是不能肯定的事情，故使用might表推测“有可能”。
【2013湖南】32. He ________ sleep, although he tried to, when he got on such a hunt for an idea until he had caught it.
A. wouldn’t B. shouldn’t C. couldn’t D. mustn’t
【答案】C
【解析】考查情态动词。根据后文“although he tried to”可知他不能入睡。故答案选C。
