题目内容
【题目】—Andy, will you answer the telephone? It be your father.
—Sorry, I . I’m having a shower.
A. can; mustn’t B. will; can’t C. may; can’t D. need; will
【答案】C
【解析】句意：安迪，你可以接电话吗？ 那可能是你父亲。--对不起，我不能，我正在洗澡呢。mustn’t意思是“千万别，一定不要”，表示禁止；can能，can’t不能；will将，会。情态动词表示猜测时：may表示“可能，也许”；can经常用于否定句表示否定猜测，can’t意为“不可能，肯定不是”，must用于肯定猜测，意为“肯定，一定”。根据Andy, will you answer the telephone?可知it不一定是安迪的父亲，所以表示猜测；根据I’m having a shower.可知安迪不能接电话，故选C。
【题目】Going on holidays is best choice for the Europeans to relax themselves, especially in the UK. However, much has changed during the past decades(几十年).
One of the most traditional British holidays was the “seaside holiday”. Families got on a train or into a car and traveled to seaside towns nearby to sunbathe on the beach, buy ice-creams and eat fish and chips and so on.
In the late 1970s, more and more British people started traveling to other countries in Europe for their summer holidays (July-August) because the weather wasn’t very good, even in summer. The “package holiday” was particularly popular with most families.
In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier, so many of them traveled to countries all over the world for their holidays.
These years, especially after the world financial crisis(金融危机), most British people can not afford to spend their holidays abroad. They again begin to choose to stay in their own home and go on a few day trips rather than spending money on hotels. They call this sort of vacation a “staycation”.
