Answer 1

1. had better 2. would rather 3. had better not 4. mustn’t 5. needn’t 6. needn’t

解析1.天非常晚了，按照常理應該最好去睡覺，故本空填最好的單詞had better。
2.根據后文得知Trig把英語本撕掉，把語法書扔掉，所以我不能去睡覺，寧愿不睡覺來幫助他解決問題。Would rather……than可以表示寧愿做某事而不愿做某事，與題意意思符合，故本空應填would rather。
3.幫助別人也不能熬夜熬得太晚，所以本題的含義表示建議為你最好不要熬夜熬得太晚，故本空應填最好不的單詞had better not。
4.阻止某人應該是要求或不準做的事，故本題的含義應為你不準把書到處亂扔，故本空應填不準的單詞mustn’t。
5.本題的含義應該是你遇到了問題，你現在不需要在英語上學習了，故本空填不需要的單詞needn’t。
6.他所學的是縮略形式，是字典中的，那么我們也沒有必要記住整個字典，故本空填沒有必要的單詞needn’t較符合。
