You've done with the books,you ( ) sell them and make a little money.
A. may as well
B. should better
C. may just as well
D. would better
题目解答
答案
A. may as well
解析
本题考查情态动词短语的用法,核心在于区分不同短语在建议语境中的适用性。关键点在于:
- "may as well" 表示“不妨”“倒不如”,用于建议在某种情况下做某事,尤其是当没有更好选择时;
- "should better" 和 "would better" 的搭配不符合英语习惯;
- "may just as well" 中的 "just" 通常用于强调语气,但此处与题意不符。
选项分析
A. may as well
- 正确用法:表示建议做某事,尤其是当行动合理且无更好选择时。例如:"You may as well sell them" 意为“不如卖掉它们”。
- 符合题意:题目中“已完成读书”暗示无保留必要,建议通过卖书获利。
B. should better
- 错误原因:正确表达应为 "had better"(后接动词原形),而 "should better" 不符合语法规范。
C. may just as well
- 错误原因:虽然 "may as well" 正确,但多余的 "just" 使语气不自然,与题意不符。
D. would better
- 错误原因:正确表达应为 "would rather"(表示偏好),但此处语境非比较,且搭配错误。
