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.

72.The underlined expression"play safe"in paragraph two probably meansD.
A.to write carefully 
B.to do as teachers say
C.to use dictionaries frequently
D.not to write words one is not sure of
73.Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so thatC.
A.they may spend more time teaching writing techniques
B.they may have less trouble in correcting mistakes
C.students will have more confidence in writing
D.students will learn to be independent of teachers
74.The writer seems to think that the teacher's judgment on that sensitive piece of writing isB.
A.reasonable   B.unfair  C.foolish   D.careless
75.Teachers are different in their opinions aboutC.
A.the necessity of teaching spelling
B.the role of spelling in general language development
C.the way of teaching spelling
D.the importance of the basic grammar.

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.
74.B  细节理解题,根据最后一段It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil's technical abilities in writing,but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay,which contained some beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings.可知作者认为老师对那篇敏感文章这么评论是不公平的.故选B.
75.C  细节理解题.根据文章第一段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.可知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.故选C.

点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

5.There is a big question making the rounds among the parents at my daughter's class.Should the kids refer to the parents,friends as"Mr.Jones"or"Mrs.Smith",rather than using their first names?I was quite shocked,having come from a home where it would have been unheard of to refer to one of my parents,friends by their first names.This was reserved for only the closest of family friends and relatives,and even they always had"Aunt"or"Uncle"in front their name.
Respect is something that is earned.Unlike many of the other virtues we try to nurture (培养)in our kids,respect is a bit more complicated.It is not only necessary when dealing well with others,but the virtue of self-respect is critical for kids to succeed and feel good about themselves and their choices throughout their lives.
There are several factors that can have a big impact on kids and their ability to be respectful.The first one to consider is manners.Calling adults by their surnames,setting proper examples during sporting events and while driving,and how we talk to each other in our homes all can have an enormous effect on a child's concept of respect and how important it is.Many of these seemingly trivial(微小的)ideas have become almost outdated,but one should seriously consider the value of these ideas before casting them aside.It is easy to become unaware of these behaviors.Try to keep track of how often your child is subjected to this kind of disrespect.
The media,as you may have guessed,plays a large part in the increase in disrespect.Movies are equally to blame,with a PG movie often containing an abundant amount of profane language.
These factors and others all contribute to an alarming increase in disrespect in society.If we don't step in and change course,we will find living in a morally respectful culture unlikely.

67.What does the author think of kids'referring to parents'friends by their first names?C
A.It is common in his family.    B.It is OK if the friends are close.
C.Such behavior lacks respect.   D.Such behavior sounds funny.
68.What advice does the author give in the passage?B
A.Parents should correct kids'bad behavior before children.
B.Parents should mind their behavior before children.
C.Parents should nurture kids'self-respect from birth.
D.Parents should choose suitable movies for kids.
69.The underlined word"profane"in the fourth paragraph means"A"
A.rude    B.simple    C.complicated  D.respectful
70.What would be the best fide for the passage?A
A.Teaching kids respect     B.How to respect others
C.Respect is a virtue       D.Respecting others is respecting yourself.
3.It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation,it turns into an argument.We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly,my mother will push the conversation into World War 3.She'll talk about my lack of bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor.And much to her disappointment,I don't want to do any job related to science,either.In fact,when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications,she nearly had a heart attack.
"Why can't you be like my co-worker's son?"she bemoans (哀叹) all the time.Her coworker's son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000dollars a year as an engineer.I don't know what to answer except that I simply can't be like Mr.Perfect as I've called the unnamed co-worker's son.I can't be like him.I am the type of the person who loved to help out in the community,write until the sun goes down,and most of all,wants to achieve a career because I love it,not because of a fame or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major.I've seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours.She leaves the house around 6:30am and usually comes home around  5pm or even 6pm.However,I want her to know that by becoming a doctor,it doesn't mean I'll be successful.I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future.
21.Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?B
A.the writer's studies        
B.the writer's future job
C.dinner plans                  
D.wars around the world
22.We can infer from Paragraph 1that the writer's motherA.

B.doesn't think the writer should be a doctor
C.gets along very well with the writer
D.doesn't think working in the scientific field is a good idea

C.He doesn't think his mother's co-worker's son is perfect.
D.He wants to do something he really likes in the future.
20.Will Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for China's higher education reform?It's too early to answer.But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education.Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50students,so-called child prodigies(奇才),to begin classes on March l,2011.On graduating in 2015,these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education-unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities.
The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology,but if the government will not approve the school,the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions.Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas.
The difficulties,however,have not frightened students and their parents away.On Dec.18,2010more than 1,000students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews.
Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation.Not a penny comes from the government.So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.
The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011and 2020.The goal is to make China's higher education internationally competitive.To accomplish this goal,the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out.The ministry should have applauded the independence the school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.
Education reform in China has reached a new and crucial stage.Nanfang University of Science and Technology has a long way to go to prove itself competitive rather than a diploma mill.

60.Over 1,000students and parents visited the school becauseA.
A.they believe that the school will have a bright future
B.they believe the government is sure to approve the school
C.the school models itself on Hong Kong University successfully
D.they will never do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions
61.The trouble the students in the school may have is thatC.
A.the government will have no voice in the school
B.they won't receive any diploma when graduating from the school
C.other schools are unlikely to accept their diploma from the school
D.they will not learn how to be competitive
62.What does the author think of Nanfang University of Science and Technology?D
A.It is another kind of diploma mill.
B.It's impossible for the school to be competitive.
C.It will never get the approval from the Ministry of Education.
D.Its independence from the government may benefit the education reform.
63.What is the best title of the passage?A
A.University of New Style.       B.China's Education Reform.
C.Modeling Hong Kong University. D.Authorized or Not?
18.When something goes wrong,it can be very satisfying to say,"Well,it's so-and-so's fault."or"I know I'm late,but it's not my fault;the car broke down."It is probably not your fault,but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation,you are a loser.You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation.However,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedythe situation.This is the winner's key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems.For example,if you were late because your car broke down,maybe you  need to have your car examined more regularly.Or,you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers,so you could call for help when in need.For another example,if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability,find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame  the person.Ask to work with a different person,or don't rely on this person.You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails  to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens.Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else.They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents.So,stop focusing on"whose fault it is."Once you are confident about your power over bad situations,problems are just stepping stone on for success.

A.deal with problems rather than blame others
