　　一、must+完成式：表示对过去或已完成行为有把握的推测，意为："一定…过；一定已经…"，仅用于肯定陈述句中。例如：

　　1） I didn't hear the phone. I ________ asleep. （MET1989）

　　A. must be B. must have been C. should be D. should have been didn't

　　提示出是过去时态，因此选择B.

　　2） Where is my pen？I must have lost it.我的钢笔在哪？我肯定是丢了。

　　二、can/could+完成式：

　　1. 肯定式（could）表示与过去事实相反的假设，意为："本来能够/可以…".例如：

　　3） -I stayed at a hotel while in New York. -Oh， did you？ You ________ with Barbara. （NMET1998）

　　A. could have stayed B. could stay C. would stay D. must have stayed

　　解析： A."本可以和Barbara住在一起，没必要住旅店"

　　4） He went on foot， but he could have gone there by bus.他走着去的，但他本可以坐汽车的。

　　2. 否定式表示对过去情况的推测，意为："决不会…；决不可能…".例如：

　　5） -There were already five people in the car but they managed to take me as well. -It ________ a comfortable journey. （NMET1995）

　　A. can't be B. shouldn't be C. mustn't have been D. couldn't have been

　　8） There is no light in the room. Can/Could he have gone out？

　　屋子没灯光。他出去了？

　　三、may/might+完成式：

　　1. 肯定式表示对过去情况的推测,意为："可能已经…"，might表示的可能性比may更加微弱，口气更加委婉。例如：

　　9） The room is dark； I think he may have gone to bed.

　　10） You may have noticed that the afternoon sun on a winter's day is low on the horizon².

　　请比较：

　　He may not have said so.（他也许没有这样说过。）

　　He can't have said so.（他不可能这样说过。）

　　12） He ________ you more help， even though he was busy. （MET1990）

　　「分析」答案选A.本可以给予你更多的帮助，即使他很忙。
