例題9.
Today, the forests have almost gone. People must down too many trees.
A. stop to cut B. stop from cutting
C. be stopped to cut D. be stopped from cutting
【解析】選D。本題考查被動語態的用法。具迷惑性的選項是A，不少同學們只記得stop之后可接動詞不定式，殊不知這時不定式作目的狀語，因此，我們應透過現象看本質，排除A；那么，本題的真正意義是什么呢？“當今，森林幾乎沒了，必須要阻止人們砍伐太多的樹木。”這樣，我們不難已起stop sb. from doing sth. 這個習語，本題使用的是被動形式。
例題10.
--- You must come back every month.
--- Yes, I .
A. will B. must C. should D. can
【解析】選A。本題考查情態動詞的用法。選項B有較大的干擾性，不少同學們僅從對話上文的must支猜測、推斷，卻不知這種回答顯得呆板、沒有交際意義；與must相比，I will表示一種意愿色彩，更適合作為上文的答語。
