45、rising that learning to underline a modal verb, such as “can”, and “may”, does little to help students use them effectively in their own writing. These words are anyway grasped by tiny children without the need to know what they are called. This may tempt the conclusion that the teaching of grammar

46、should be shelved altogether. But there are reasons to reform it rather than throw it away.Understanding of language is part of a wider education in what makes human beings human. How concepts are turned into sounds, and how those sounds combine to form commands or questions, are issues that have oc

47、cupied many language experts. What they reveal about the mind has exercised psychologists and cognitive (認(rèn)知的) scientists.There are practical reasons to ask children to work hard at grammar, too.

56、對學(xué)生在自己的寫作中有效地使用它們幾乎沒有幫助，這似乎并不奇怪)可知，有些人考慮停止教授語法是因為學(xué)習(xí)語法對寫作沒有明顯的效果，故選D?！?3題詳解】詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞前的“Even if you did know by nature how to make clauses in your native languages as a child just without instruction(即使你天生就知道如何用你的母語從句只是在沒有任何指導(dǎo)的情況下)”和其后的“if you know how to define and spot them.(如果你知道如何定義和識別它們)”可知，即使

57、你從小就知道如何用母語造句，只是不需要指導(dǎo)，但如果你知道如何定義和識別它們，那么在以后的歲月里用德語或俄語來掌握它們會更簡單，由此可知劃線詞詞義為“掌握”，與B項“Mastering(掌握)”意思一樣，故選B。【14題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“These tools may rely more on knowledge of artificial intelligence than of the subjunctive, but linguistic expertise still matters, and may give beginners an edge over competito

58、rs whose best language is Python.”(這些工具可能更多地依賴于人工智能的知識，而不是虛擬語言的知識，但語言專業(yè)知識仍然很重要，可能會讓語言初學(xué)者比那些精通編程語言的競爭對手更有優(yōu)勢)可知，當(dāng)談到未來的工作時，語法學(xué)家們相信精通語言意味著在競爭中占有優(yōu)勢，故選C。【15題詳解】主旨大意題。通讀全文，特別是根據(jù)第一段“This may tempt the conclusion that the teaching of grammar should be shelved altogether. But there are reasons to reform it ra

59、ther than throw it away.”(這可能會得出這樣的結(jié)論：語法教學(xué)應(yīng)該完全擱置起來。但有理由對其進(jìn)行改革，而不是將其丟棄)可知，文章主要介紹的是語法教學(xué)不應(yīng)該停止，而應(yīng)該改革，故選A。第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。As the world seeks to slow the pace of climate change and preserve wildlife, trees undoubtedly hold a major part of the answer.
