—You ______ get one if you are admitted to a key middle school.

A．could       B．shall

C．may  D．can

答案B

解析试题分析：句意：--- 爸爸，当你去北京时，你能给我买一个新的 MP3吗？ ---如果你考上重点中学，你一定会得到一个的。 could和can的用法：1. 表示“能力”或“可能性”，作为can的过去形式。如： He said he couldn't follow me. 他说他跟不上我。2. 表示惊异、怀疑、不相信等情绪。如：Who could have taken them？ 谁会把它们拿走了呢？She couldn't have left so soon. 她不可能这么快就走了。在这种情况下，could和can是可以换用的，用could时口气较缓和，用can时不相信的程度更强一些，两者在时间上没有差别。3. 比较委婉客气地提出问题或陈述看法。如：—Could you let me have your passport?—Yes, here it is.—看看你的护照好吗？—行，这就是。I could come earlier, if necessary. 如果必要我可以早点来。这时could和can没有时间上的差别。 B. shall表说话人的意愿，有“命令、允诺、警告、决心”等意思，用于第二、第三人称陈述句。 You shall do as I say. 按我说的做。（命令） You shall have my answer tomorrow. 你明天可以得到我的答复。（允诺） He shall be sorry for it one day, I tell you. 有一天他会后悔的，我告诉你。（警告） Nothing shall stop us from carrying out the plan. 什么也不能阻止我们执行这项计划。（决心）；C. may的用法： 1）表允许，might可以指过去时间，也可指现在时间，语气更委婉。 You may take whatever you like. 你喜欢什么就拿什么。 He told me that I might smoke in the room. 他告诉我可以在房间里抽烟。 May (Might) I ask for a photo of your baby? 我可以要一张你宝宝的照片吗？ 在回答以may引起的问句时，多避免用这个词，而用其它方式，如Yes, please. / Certainly. / Please don´t ./ You´d better not. / No, you mustn´t.等，以免显得太严峻或不客气。 2）表可能（事实上）。可以指过去时间，也可以指现在时间，但语气更加不肯定。 He may be at home. 他可能在家。 She may not know about it. 她可能不知道这件事。 He was afraid they might not agree with him. 他担心他们可能不同意他的意见。 They might be having a meeting, but I´m not sure. 他们有可能在开会，不过我不肯定。  由句意可知选B。

  February has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.

On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage.

But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of history’s most romantic characters.

Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.
