Question

--- Sorry , I didn't hear the phone . I ___________ asleep.

A．must be	B．must have been
C．could be	D．should have been

Answer 1

B

解析试题分析: 考查情态动词。从对话可知此处问昨天的事，所以应该用情态动词+have done表示对过去的推测判断 ，排除A、C选项，must have done “肯定做过某事”，should have done “本应该做某事”，从语境判断B选项正确。句意：--汤姆，昨天下午为什么不接我电话呢？---对不起，我没听到。我肯定是睡着了。
考点：考查情态动词。
