【题目】—What's the matter with Tom? He has been away for two days.

—Oh! He ____be ill.Let's go and ask Ms Brown.

A. canB. needC. may

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】

句意：——汤姆怎么了?他已经离开两天了。——哦!他可能病了。我们去问问布朗女士。

考查情态动词。A. can能、能够；B. need需要；C. may可能、也许，表示推测。根据上文He has been away for two days. 他已经离开两天了，结合He ____be ill.可知是推测他可能生病了，所以may符合题意，故答案选C。
