Question

【题目】—Look! Is it Sally playing under the tree?

—No, it ________ be her. She has gone to Shanghai.

A.can’tB.couldn’tC.may notD.might not

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】

句意：——看！是莎莉在树下玩吗？——不，不可能是她。她去了上海。

考查情态动词。情态动词表否定猜测，can't不可能，语气最强；couldn’t语气较弱，且可以表过去式；may not/might not可能不、语气较弱。根据下文“She has gone to Shanghai.”推断空格是语气强烈的否定猜测，故选A。
