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.

As it is, many English-speakers come to understand grammar by studying a foreign language, rather than

57、你从小就知道如何用母语造句，只是不需要指导，但如果你知道如何定义和识别它们，那么在以后的岁月里用德语或俄语来掌握它们会更简单，由此可知划线词词义为“掌握”，与B项“Mastering(掌握)”意思一样，故选B。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“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
