A. can’t leave                                                            B. won’t be leaving

C. could have left                                                   D. must have left

 

Answer 1

【答案】

D

【解析】

试题分析：句意：——李林还没来，但他答应过要来参加聚会的。——他肯定已经从家里出来了。他可是个信守诺言的人。从 He is a man of keeping his word 中可以看出，李林肯定已经出发来参加我们的晚会，这是对已发生的事肯定的推测，故用情态动词完成式。注意must 用作推测意义时，不能用于否定式和疑问句。can’t leave肯定没有离开；won’t be leaving将不愿意离开；could have left本来可以离开的。

考点：考查情态动词的推测用法
