     Grammar
情態(tài)動(dòng)詞本身有一定的詞義，為謂語動(dòng)詞增添情態(tài)色彩，
表示說話人對(duì)有關(guān)行為或事物的態(tài)度和看法，認(rèn)為其可能、
應(yīng)該或必要等。我們學(xué)習(xí)過的can和may都屬于這類詞。
         may/might
情態(tài)動(dòng)詞may/might,沒有人稱和數(shù)的變化，在句子中不能單獨(dú)作
謂語。后面直接跟動(dòng)詞原形（即不帶to的不定式）構(gòu)成合成謂語，
常用于下列幾種情況：
1.may/might表示請(qǐng)求許可時(shí)，譯為“可以”。might表示的
語氣更加委婉、客氣。雖然may有自己的否定形式may not,
但否定回答常用cannot、must not來表達(dá)否定意思。
May I leave the book with you?
我可以把這本書交給你嗎？
Yes,you may/can.(No,you can't/mustn't.)
可以。（不可以）。
The manager told me I might have a vacation.
經(jīng)理告訴我，我可以休假。
Might I use your pen for a while?
我能用用你的鋼筆嗎？
2.may/might表示推測(cè)，常譯成“也許，可能”等，might
的可能性比may要小。否定形式常用may not/might not.如：
She may/might go to Shanghai next week.
下周她可能到上海去。
He may/might be writing a letter.
他可能正在寫信。
He may(may not)come here tomorrow.
他明天也許會(huì)（不會(huì)）來這兒。
3.表示可能的方式有很多，除使用情態(tài)動(dòng)詞may/might以外，
還可以使用表示可能的形容詞和副詞。
  maybe,perhaps和possibly都可以表示“大概，也許”，此時(shí)
程度相似。但maybe和perhaps常位于句首，possibly常位于句中，
maybe主要用于非正式場(chǎng)合，較口語化。如：
Maybe I will go with them.
也許我會(huì)和他們一起去。
Perhaps they don't know.
可能他們不知道。
There's possibly something wrong with the machine.
這臺(tái)機(jī)器可能出問題了。
possible意為“可能的”，常用于句型：
It is possible to do sth.意為“做某事是可能的”。如：
It is possible to the airport before seven.
七點(diǎn)前可能到達(dá)機(jī)場(chǎng)。
It is possible+that從句。如：
It is possible that I tell him the wrong time.
可能我告訴了他錯(cuò)誤的時(shí)間。
probably意為“很可能、大概”，可能性在這幾個(gè)詞中最大。
如：
  There's probably life on other planets,but we haven't
known yet.
  也許其他星球上有生命，只是我們尚不知道。

1.You mustn't go off on your own,because you_D_get lost
in the mountains.(2013山東濰坊）。
A.should B.must C.need D.might
【解析】考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞的用法。根據(jù)句意“你不許一個(gè)人去，因?yàn)槟?br> 可能在大山里迷路”，might意為“可能”，表猜測(cè)。故選D.
2.--Look at the boy playing basketball on the ground.
Is it George?
  --It_D_be him.He told me he would play basketball after
class,but he's not sure.(2013甘肅蘭州）
A.mustn't B.must C.can't D.may
【解析】考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞表推測(cè)。上句句意：看正在操場(chǎng)上打籃球的那個(gè)男孩，
他是George?下句后一分句意思：他告訴我他下課后會(huì)去打籃球，但他不確定。
由此推斷George可能去打籃球。A不允許；B一定，表推測(cè)的可能性很大；C不
可能，表示否定猜測(cè)；D可能，也許。故選D。
3.--Have you decided where to go for your summer vacation?
  --Not yet.We_A_go to Qingdao.It's a good place for vacation.

【解析】本題考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞。句意：—你已經(jīng)決定到哪里過暑假了嗎？—
還沒有呢，我們也許去青島。那是個(gè)度假的好地方。情態(tài)動(dòng)詞表示推測(cè)時(shí)，
may表“可能”，must表“一定”，can't表“不可能”。
