40、主句用虚拟语气，而but从句用陈述语气。4.If Mr.Dewey_(be)present,he would have offered any possible assistance to the people there.答案had been与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，条件状语从句要使用had done，主句要使用“情态动词have done”。根据本句后面主句中的would have offered说明与过去事实相反可知，从句中使用过去完成时。易错点1 情态动词have done结构的误用用括号内动词的适当形式填空What a pity!Considering his ability and
41、 experience,he _(do)better.解析句意：真是遗憾！考虑到他的能力和经验，他当时有可能做的更好些。答案might have done【即时小练】The weather turned out to be fine yesterday,I _(take)the trouble to carry my umbrella with me.答案neednt have taken句意：昨天天气结果很好，我本没必要那么麻烦拿伞的。neednt have taken“本没必要带结果带了”。以题说法此题容易误用must have done结构表示对过去已经发生的事情进行推测，意为“一定做了
42、”；might have done结构表示过去本有可能发生某事，但实际上并未发生，是一种虚拟表达。突破指南情态动词have done结构是英语中的常考热点，熟记其意义，运用到适当语境中为关键。易错点2 几个情态动词的特殊用法易错点(辽宁卷)Peter _ be really difficult at times even though hes a nice person in general.解析句意：尽管Peter从整体上不错，但有时确实不好相处。情态动词can除了表示能力，意为“能够”，还可以表示“(有时)可能”的含义，这是can的一个很重要的用法。答案can【即时小练】(1)If the
43、 wound _ become swollen,do not hesitate to call me.答案should句意：万一伤口肿了的话，要马上打电话给我。should表可能性有“万一”之意，故用should。(2)I think Ill give Bob a ring.You _.You havent been in touch with him for ages.答案should分析句意可知，表示原则上或道义上“应该”的情态动词should用在这里正合适。以题说法本题易误用must。must常译为“必须”，常指说话者主观要求“必须”。突破指南我们要善于归纳一些情态动词的常考点。情态动词
44、can在高考英语中的出现率很高，它的其他常考用法如下：can可以表示能力，表示客观的可能性；表示请示和允许；表示惊异、怀疑、不相信的态度；主要用于肯定句、否定句和疑问句中。用于肯定句表推测时，指理论上的可能性，并不涉及是否真的发生。should的一些常考点也要铭记在心。should除了可以表示原则上或道义上“应该”外，还可以表示推测含义，意为“估计(是)”“按理应当”等含义。这种用法的should是一个常考知识点，考生应重视。should另外一种用法是意为“竟然”，表示吃惊的语气。假如你是李华，上周在英国参加了你校组织的“中国学生文化交流周”活动，并住在Kelly家里。请你给在英国期间认识的新
