题目内容
—Why didn’t you come to my birthday party last night?
—I planned to, but my parents simply not let me out so late at night.
A.could | B.might | C.would | D.should |
C
解析试题分析:
Simply would not 决不,句意:昨天晚上,为什么你没有来我的生日聚会?我打算去的,但是我的父母亲坚决不让我晚上那么晚出去。might 为程度较轻的推测。would 语气更强 could能够 should应该,与句意不符。
考点:could,might,would,should区别用法。
点评:could, should和would除了分别是can,shall和will的过去式,还有其他的用法,有人学英语多年还容易将其搞混淆,因此使用时要特别注意:
1.could的用法
(1)表示惊异、怀疑、不相信等态度
(2)比较委婉客气地提出问题或陈述看法
(3)在虚拟条件句中作助动词,与谓语动词一起构成谓语
2.should的用法
(1)表示惊异、赞叹、不满等情绪
(2)表示委婉地陈述自己的意见
(3)(表示语气较强的假设)万一,竟然
(4)(表示可能性、推测)可能,该
(5)(表示建议、命令、愿意等)应该
3.would的用法
(1)用在虚拟语气的主句中
(2)委婉地提出请求、建议或看法
(3)表示意愿,在陈述语气和虚拟语气都可用
(4)表示过去反复发生的动作
(5)表示过去的一种倾向
(6)表示推测
4.may,might的用法
(1). may, might表示允许
表示现在的允许时,若是请求别人允许自己做某事,两者均可用,但用might 语气更委婉;若是自己允许别人做某事,一般只用 may,而不用 might。如:
注:在通常情况下,may 表示允许(请求允许或给予允许)时,总是针对“现在”或“将来”而言,若要表示已经给予或已经存在的允许,则通常不用 may,而用can
(2). may, might表示推测
两者都可用,只是 might 比 may 语气更不确定,表示的可能性更小。若推测现在的情况,后接动词原形;若推测正在进行的情况,后接动词进行式;若推测过去的情况,后接动词的完成式。
—Why didn’t you keep your words,Billy?

As I was leaving to meet Lynne,my roommate told me that I’d better take some money,but I didn’t listen to him. I thought that Lynne would pay because she had invited me.
I arrived at the restaurant exactly on time. I’d been told that Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant and a waitress came and took our order. The dinner was a great success. I talked a lot about Saudi Arabia and Lynne told me all about herself. After two hours the waitress finally came and asked if we wanted one check or two. Lynne said two. We went to the cashier and Lynne paid her check. I was embarrassed (尴尬) when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I pretended to look for something in my pockets and said,“Oh!I forgot my money! Can I call my roommate,please?” The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called my roommate.
In a few minutes he arrived with some money,but he couldn’t hide how he felt. He laughed all the way home.
Now,I think it’s funny too. But at the time I was terribly embarrassed. I thought that an invitation to have dinner meant the same thing in the United States as in my country. I guess you have to understand that your customs(习俗) are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country,you have to learn about their customs,too.

Andy loved the first grade. He loved his teacher,Mrs.Parks. He loved playing games on the playground. He loved learning about dinosaurs and the solar system (恐龙和太阳系).
Every morning Andy’s mother dropped him off in front of his school on South Street. One foggy morning,the traffic was so bad on South Street that she decided to drop him off behind the school. Andy walked for about ten minutes and got to the gate. He held the icy handle,but it didn’t move!Using both hands,he tried his hardest and finally the gate opened.
After Andy closed the gate behind him,he looked in the direction of the teaching building. But all he could see was fog. He got to the spot where the slide had always been,but it was not there.“The slide is gone!” he cried. He walked a little more to look for the swings,but they were not where they had always been.“The swings are gone!” he cried again.
Andy kept walking. He was so anxious to see the school that he fell and landed on the ground. He still couldn’t see the school. A terrible thought appeared in his head.“The school is gone!” he cried sadly. No more games with Jennie,Angel and Dillon,he thought. No more reading about dinosaurs. No more watching videos on the solar system...
Suddenly the boy saw something up ahead.“It’s Jennie!”he shouted. Then he saw the outline of a school building. His school was still there!He was full of excitement!
“Hi,Jennie!” he stood up and caught up with the girl.“I couldn’t see the school. I thought it was gone.” Jennie just laughed.“You’re so silly.” “What happened to the slide and the swings?” Andy asked.
“We will have new playground equipment today,” Jennie answered.“The old equipment was taken away last night. Don’t you remember Mrs. Parks telling us about it yesterday?” “I guess I forgot,” Andy said,smiling.“Anyway,I’m glad the school is here.”
