must表示说话人对事物推测把握比较大，意为“肯定、一定”根据句意，故选C。

【例2】：2．— Must I return the book this week?— No, you ____. You can _ it for 20 days.A. mustn't: keepB. needn't; borrowC. needn't; keepD. mustn't; borrow 【答案】C【解析】must回答与延续性动词的用法。

Must开头的一般疑问句的否定回答用“……needn’t”, 由答语for短语指一段时间，故用延续性动词，borrow为短暂性动词，要换成延续性动词keep。

【例3】：3．—Is Jessica giving us a speech this evening?—No, it _________ be her．She _________ to Japan．A．mustn't；has gone B．mustn't; has beenC．can't; has gone D．can't; has been【答案】C【解析】考查情态动词和时态。

“今晚杰西卡将作演讲吗？”“不，不可能是她。

她去日本了。

”musn’t“禁止，不许”，不能表示推测；can’t“不可能”，表示否定的推测；have gone to“去了某地还没回来”；have been to“去过某地”。

故选C。

·【相似练习】【练习1】：4．— John, you go out to play until your homework . —OK, Mum.A. must; finishesB. can’t; is finishedC. can’t; has finishedD. needn’t; finishes【答案】B【解析】考查情态动词和动词被动语态的用法。

外研版英语八（上）Module 11模块语法详解与训练模块语法详解情态动词must, can, need等的用法1. must的用法(1)must没有人称和数的变化，后接动词原形。

表示义务或必要性时，意为“应该；必须”，此时must 引导的一般疑问句的肯定回答用must，否定回答应用needn’t或don’t have to，不能用mustn’t。

如：---- Must I finish my homework before Sunday? 我必须在周日前完成作业吗？---- Yes, you must./No, you needn’t/don’t have to.是的，你必须。

/不，你不必。

(2)mustn’t用在否定句中，表示“不允许；禁止”。

如：You mustn’t smoke in public places.公共场所禁止吸烟。

You mustn’t take the book out of the reading room. 你不准把书带出阅览室。

(3)must还可以用来表示把握性大的推测，意为“肯定；必定”，一般只用于肯定句中；在否定句中用can’ t，意为“不可能”。

如：You must be tired after a long walk. 走了这么长的路，你肯定累了。

It can’t be Mr. Smith. He has gone to Beijing. 那不可能是史密斯先生，他去北京了。

【辨析】must与have to的区别：(1)must与have to都表示“必须”，但must强调说话人的主观看法，而have to强调客观情况迫使人不得不做某事。

如：You must study hard. 你必须努力学习。

He had to look after his mother. She was ill. 他不得不照顾他妈妈。

她生病了。

(2)must没有人称和数的变化，但have to有第三人称单数has to和过去式had to的形式变化。
