此题应选B.一般说来,以must 引出的一般疑问句,其否定回答通常是用 needn't(=don't have to),这与其说是一个语法问题,不如说是一个语境或上下文是否通顺的问题.
注意以下各组问答句,并注意体会其汉语译文:
—Yes,you must.是的,必须天亮前来.
—No,you needn't.不必天亮前就来.
—No,you don't have to.不必天亮前就来.
—Yes,you may.当然可以.
—Of course you may[can].当然可以.
—No,you may not[mustn't,can't].不行.(语气较生硬)
—You'd better not[Better not].最好不要抽.
—I'd rather you didn't.还是不抽的好.
—Please don't.请不要抽.
—Yes,you must[have to,should].是的,今天必须完成它.(肯定回答不能用Yes,you need,因为情态动词need 只用于否定句或疑问句,不用于肯定句)
—No,you needn't.不必今天就完成它.
—No,you don't have to.不必今天就完成它.
