答案：

【答案与解析】

1. C。这组对话的意思是：“妈妈，我现在可以看电视吗?”“当然，但你必须帮我学英语。”该题测试情态动词的用法。表示主观上看来“必须”要做的事，要用must。

2. C。这组对话的意思是：“我必须再次下载这篇文章吗?”“不必了。”该题测试情态动词的用法。根据答语 No, you needn’t 就能确定要选C。

3. D。这组对话的意思是：“今天下午你能同我们一块去溜冰吗?”“抱歉，我不能去。我必须在家照看我小妹妹。”该题测试情态动词的用法。表示客观上“不得不”做某事时，要用have to。

4. B。这组对话的意思是：“我必须今天交作业吗?”“不必。”该题测试情态动词的用法。对以must开头的问句进行否定回答时，要用needn’t。

5. D。这组对话的意思是：“我可以跟你说句话吗?”“不行，我今天很忙。” 该题测试情态动词的用法。对May开头的问句进行否定回答时，通常用can’t或may not来回答。

6. B。这组对话的意思是：“我可以知道您的英文名字吗”“可以，海伦。H-E-L-E-N。”该题测试情态动词的用法。“请求对方许可”时，常用 May I (we)…。

7. C。这组对话的意思是：“那边的那个男生是谁?是约翰吗?”“那不可能是他，约翰个子高些。”该题测试情态动词的用法。表示很肯定的否定推测时，用can’t。

8. B。这组对话的意思是：“杰伊，你会扔飞盘吗?”“会，小菜一碟。”该题测试情态动词的用法。一般说来，以情态动词can开头的问句，肯定回答用can;否定回答用can’t。

9. A。此题易误选为B或C。这是因为受了思维定势的影响引起的，因为前面句子中的must这个词，许多人就想当然地选择了B项。其实,这里应该选择A项，句意为：“你必须每月回来一次。”“好的，我会的。”

10. A。maybe是副词，意为“可能;也许”，在句中作状语。may be是两个不同的词，其中，may是情态动词，be是连系动词，在句中作谓语。

11. A。needn’t表示“没有必要”;may意为“可以”。

12. A。考查情态动词。由后文“但他还不能肯定”可知，他“可能会”来，所以选A。can表示推测的“可能”，多用于否定句或疑问句中，must是有把握的肯定推测，“一定”。

13. A考查情态动词。mustn’t千万不，绝不能，一定不要;can’t不能;

shouldn’t不应该;needn’t不必要。

14. D。考查情态动词。请求允许用may或can。

15. C。考查情态动词。否定回答must，表示“不必”用needn’t，排除A和B。又表示允许“可以”，用may或can，所以A正确。若用must与前面needn’t相矛盾。
