本篇导读:
九年级考试中情态动词should用法总结。
【2021年中考】
35. —Only ten tickets? What do you mean? There __________ be twelve.
—Sorry, Linda. Jacky and Tim took two tickets away.
A. should
B. will
C. can
D. may
翻译：
——只有十张票吗？你什么意思？应该有十二张啊！
——抱歉，琳达。杰基和蒂姆拿走了两张。
这里的“should”可以翻译成“应该”的意思，但问题是“应该”在汉语中也有很多不同的意思。
在此不妨直接通过英语来深刻理解一下“应该”的意思吧！
1, used for giving or asking information 应该，可以（提建议）
例句：You should stop worrying about it.
翻译：你应该不要为此事担心了！
点评：这是should最常用的意义，但并不常考，因为太简单了。
2，used to show what is right, especially when criticizing sb's actions 应该，应当（常用于纠正别人）
例句：You shouldn't drink and dirve.
翻译：你不应该酒后开车。
点评：因为should有这层“纠正”的意义，所以谨慎用于给人提意见，容易给人造成否定他人的感觉，令人不快！
3，used to say that you expect sth is true or will happen（表示预期）应该会，可能
例句：We should arrive before dark.
翻译：我们天黑前应该可以到达。
点评：这与2021年中考题should用法契合。
4，used to say that sth was expected has not happended（表示与预期相反）本应，本当
例句：It should be snowing now, accroding to the weather forecast.
翻译：按天气预报，现在应该下雪才是。
点评：2019年元调题should用法与此契合。
