Question 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
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 it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling?
注:1.第一段中间出现 however, 末句为主题句
2.popular belief 普遍观点,负态度
3.ignor 忽略 = neglect = overlook, 区别是:ignor overlook
4.give A priority over B 给A优先权
5.confidently 自信的
If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teachers interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to play safe . He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. Thats why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
注:1.focal 关注的,名词为 focus 焦点
2.adventurous 冒险的
3.content 内容,contend 包含
4.technical ability 指的是 spelling
22. The expression play safe probably means ________

23. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that _________
A) students will be able to express their ideas more freely
B) teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes
C) students will have more confidence in writing
D) students will learn to be independent of teachers
注:文章第二段,B,D 选项文章未提到,可排除。定位此段末句,选择A项
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a
sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible . It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupils 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 childs deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the childs ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.
注:1.shock 震惊
2.omit 省略
3.作者对作文评语的负评价,but 及虚拟语气可以表明作者的态度。
24. The writer seems to think that the teachers judgement on that sensitive piece of writing is ____________.
A) reasonable B) unfair
