题目内容
8.There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling.No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill.There are,however,vastly different ideas about how to teach it,or how much priority (优先,重点) it must be given over general language development and writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.If spelling becomes the only key point of his teacher's interest,clearly a bright child will be likely to"play safe".He will tend to write only words within his spelling range,choosing not to use adventurous language.That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than spelling ability only.
I was once shocked to read a teacher's comment on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing:"This work is terrible!There are far too many spelling mistakes!"It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil's spelling ability in writing,but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had failed to read the composition which contained some beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings.The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes,but if his priorities had centered on the child's ideas,an expression of his appreciation would have given the pupil more encouragement to seek improvement.

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了关于教导学生拼写的一些问题,但是对于拼写教师们之间也存在分歧,教师们的分歧在于如何进行单词拼写教学,以及拼写教学与培养学生全面的语言能力和写作能力上哪个更具优先考虑权.
解答 72.D 词义猜测题.本题需要从play safe这一词组所出现的上下文中推断出它的意义.文章中指出如果教师只关注拼写,聪明的孩子很有可能就会play safe以迎合老师的心理.学生是怎样play safe的呢接下来的一句话作了解释"He will tend to write only words within his spelling range,choosing to avoid adventurous language",可知学生就会只使用自己会拼写的单词,而放弃冒险使用一些自己没有把握的单词,故选D.
73.C 细节理解题,根据第二段That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than spelling ability only.可知老师鼓励学生使用词典是为了让他们在表达自己的想法时不再受拼写的限制,让他们书写的时候更加自信,故选C.
