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”。
