问题 "It’s a shame that the city official should have gone back on his word." The modal auxiliary SHOULD expresses________.

选项 A、obligation
B、disappointment
C、future in the past
D、tentativeness

答案B

解析 情态动词题。句中的should是用来表达说话人的特殊情感,比如失望、惊奇、愤怒等,意为“竟然,居然”,故B项 disappointment“失望”为答案。注意go back on one’s word为固定短语,指“毁约,食言”,obligation意为“义务”,should表示义务或责任时意为“应当”;future in the past意为“过去将来”,should作为shall的过去式,可以表示过去将来时,用于第一、第三人称,多用在间接引语中,意为“将要”;tentativeness意为“试探性”,should可用于征求意见,意为“应该,可以”。
