Question

【题目】—It was such a difficult examination that a lot of students were unable to finish it on time.
—That's the case. It's hard to accept the fact that over 90% of my classmates ________.
A.should fail
B.should have failed
C.will fail
D.may fail

Answer 1

【答案】B
【解析】考查情态动词和时态。句意：这场考试如此之难以至于许多学生都没有能及时完成。——是的，我班上超过90%的学生竟然都没有及格。依照前一句的语境可知，考试的难度出乎了大家的预料，而后一句意思上也与前一句相似，表示“竟然也失败了”，should表示“出乎意料之外”；“失败”的动作已经发生，并对现在造成了影响，故B项正确。
