“The interest ________ be divided into four parts, according to the contract between the two sides,” declared the judge.
A.may
B.should
C.can
D.shall
答案
D
题目分析:
句意:“根据双方的合同,利息须分为四个部分。”法官宣布。shall表义务,用于第二、第三人称,表示说话人给对方命令、警告、允诺或威胁。如:1.You shall do as you see me do. 你照我的样子办。2.He shall be punished if he disobeys. 他若不服从就要受到处罚。在当代英语中,shall多用于正式法律文字。如:3.The vendor shall maintain the equipment in good repair.卖方须完好地维护设备。从句意可知,D符合题意。
考点: 考查情态动词的用法。
