—You are always on time for everything. ...

—You are always on time for everything. How________it be that you were late for the meeting this morning?

—Something went wrong with my car. But I didn’t know it before I left home.

A.should B.must C.might D.could

 

A 【解析】 句意:——你总是事事准时。你今天早上开会竟然迟到了?——我的车出毛病了。但我离家前不知道。 考查情态动词辨析。should应该;竟然;must必须;might(may过去式)可能;可以;could(can过去式)能;可以。根据前句“You are always on time for everything.”可知,此人总是事事准时。根据“that you were late for the meeting this morning”可知,此人今天早上开会迟到了。所以此处表示惊异、难以置信,故用should,意为“竟然”。故选A。
