(共3组，每组限时8分钟)
1．(2013·成都一诊)Parents are doing all they ________ to help their children achieve their ambitions.
A．shall B．can
C．may D．need
解析：选B 考查情态动词。句意：父母们在做他们力所能及的事来帮助他们的孩子实现他们的夙愿。完整形式为“Parents are doing all they can do to help thei r children achieve their ambitions.”其中they can do是定语从句，修饰先行词all; to help their children achieve their ambitions是目的状语。由于主句中出现了实义动词doing，所以省略了从句中的do。故答案为B。
2．(2013·江西六所重点高中一模)We ________ take clean drinking water for granted. One day we may run out of it.
A．needn't B．can't
C．won't D．shouldn't
解析：选D 考查情态动词。句意：我们不应该把拥有洁净的饮用水看作是理所当然的。也许有一天，我们会用完它。shouldn't“不应该”，符合句意。
3．(2013·皖南八校一模)I felt surprised that anyone of his intelligence ________ such an easy test.
A．might have failed B．could have failed
C．should have failed D．must have failed
