解析:
|
该题考查情态动词的用法。根据语境,前者问“约翰要乘火车来吗?”后者回答“他有可能(乘火车来),也可能不(乘火车来)。(因为)他喜欢开自己的车。”空格处应选一个表示可能性推测的词, B、D两项都表可能性推测,但用法有区别。can not表示否定推测的语气较强,常用于对否定内容比较有把握的情况,可译为“不可能……”,用于此句会使得语义前后矛盾;may not语气较弱,用于对否定内容不大有把握的情况,可译为“可能不,也许不”,与前后的语气较吻合,故最佳答案选D。 |

About this trip
John Cabot had set sail looking for a new trade route for Asia, when he landed in Cape Bonavista. Clearly he felt this barren desolate landscape could provide this, so he claimed it for its potential and so began the rise of the British Empire.
Newfoundland is the most easterly point in North America and was Britain’s first overseas colony until 1949, when it became part of Canada. It’s roughly the size of England and Craig’s journey by camper van or RV (recreational vehicle) took in just a small part of the island called the Bonavista Peninsula.
First stop was the tiny fishing port of Keels to stock up for the journey ahead. There’s a long standing love affair between Newfoundlanders and cod. The seas off the Newfoundland coast were once the richest cod fishing grounds in the world, attracting fishermen from all over Europe. Many settled, establishing these coastal villages known locally as outports.
An hour’s drive down the coast is the town of Bonavista, where Craig met up with retired fisherman, Wilson Hayward. He told Craig how the landscape used to lie, and described the peculiarities of the language and accents in the area. There’s a different language in every bay.
