2. A. 此處can表示推測“可能”的意思;have to表示“不得不”，強調客觀情況。
3. B.此處can表示允許，許可。
4. D. 在表示能力時，can(could)和be able to在很多情況下能夠互換，但在下列情況下只能用be able to: ①位于助動詞后;②位于情態動詞后;③表示成功地做了某事。本題即屬于第三種情況。
5. A. could have done用于肯定句中表示本來能夠做成某事但結果沒能做成，含有遺憾的意味，側重有能力而沒有能做成。
6. B. may not表示“可能不”，表示不太確定的推測。
7. B. mustn’t表示“禁止”，may表示不太確定的推測。
8. D. 這里must表示必要性，意為“必須，一定要”。
9. D. must have done表示對過去發生的事情的肯定推測，意為“想必，準是，一定是”
10. A. can/could not have done表示對過去的否定推測“不可能做過……”。

17. B. 本句表示本不該做某事卻做了。
18. C. will與第一人稱連用表示意愿、意志。其它選項則不能表示意愿。
19. A. would表示過去習慣性的動作。
20. C. used to表示“過去的習慣動作或狀態(現在 已不這樣)”，其后接動詞原形。
21. C. 選項A表示“不能、不許”;B表示“不行、禁止”;C表示“不必、不需要”;D為“不應該”。
22. C. needn’t have done表示過去本不必做某事而實際已做了某事，強調“不必要”，其肯定式need have done則表示過去本需要做某事而實際上未做。
23. D. dare作實義動詞時其后的不定式可帶to，也可以不帶to，此句中的實義動詞dare的時態應為一般過去時態。
