Though he tried hard, he got hold of nothing but a feather. Instead of returning home, he continued his journey

26、 with the swan feather. When his friend received this unexpected gift, he was deeply moved. And the saying “The gift is nothing much, but its the thought that counts.” was spread far and wide.Chinese used to cup one hand in the other before the chest as a greeting. This tradition has a history of mo

27、re than 2, 000 years and nowadays it is seldom used except in the Spring Festival. And shaking hands is more popular.

32、Chinese body languagesDThere is a common belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, quite different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority(优先) it must be

33、given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling.If spelling becomes the only point of his teachers interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will

34、 write only words within his spelling range(范围). Thats why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! T

35、here are far too many spelling mistakes.” It may have been a sharp criticism(批评) of the pupils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had omitted to read the composition, which contained some beautiful expressions of the childs deep feelings. The teacher was

36、not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priority had centered on the childs ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the - 7 -pupil more hope to seek improvement.32.

39、he importance of spellingC. the correct way of marking compositionD. the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition第二节(共 5小题，每小题 2分，满分 10分)根据短文内容，从短文中的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。When we are little, we know nothing about the rights and responsibilities of adulthood. 36 Thus, if

40、we like a certain toy or if we want to eat a certain type of chocolate, we think that our parents will have to buy that for us. We dont care that they possibly have not enough money for that. If they dont carry out our wish, well begin to cry. 37 Whenever we begin to cry, well get what we want.Still

41、, little by little, we realize that our parents cant offer us all that we want for certain reasons. We then also understand that parents have their rights.

42、 we eat, the school we will study at, the hours when we should go out to play and the time we have to return home.39 They are the ones to blame later if we dont receive proper education.

43、of the teacher and the classmates - 8 -parents.
