18、 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 and how to encourage a child to write without holdin

19、g hiw back with the complexities of spelling. 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 encourag

20、e 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 piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is not neat.“ It may have been a sha

21、rp 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 c

22、entred on the childs ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the writing would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.“ 36 What is the authors attitude towards the “popular belief“ mentioned in Para.1? （ A） He agrees to it. （ B） He is opposed to it. （ C） He stands neutrally

23、 (中立地 ) about it. （ D） He says nothing about it. 37 Teachers encourage the early use of dictionaries because it helps _. （ A） students learn how to use dictionaries （ B） students improve their expression in writing （ C） teachers know the progress of students writing （ D） teachers pay attention to st

24、udents writing errors 38 The phrase “play safe“ (Sentence 1, Para.2) probably means _. （ A） writing very neatly （ B） focusing on the content of words （ C） only using the words students can write （ D） using the simplest words in writing 39 We can learn from the last paragraph that teachers should _.

25、（ A） encourage students to write the words within their spelling range （ B） only pay attention to students ideas in writing （ C） pay more attention to students ideas than technical abilities （ D） improve their interest in students spelling errors 40 The passage is mainly concerned with _. （ A） the i

26、mportance of teachers （ B） the way of writing an essay （ C） the problem of students spelling errors （ D） the importance of the dictionary use Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Whether a large population is good

27、 or not has long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, even poorer land must be made use of and the good land is worked too much. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income tha

28、t could only be dealt with by a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more good ideas for plans and the development of ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there are more people who want to use them. One of the difficulties in ca

29、rrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth change from country to country. In the developing country where a greatly growing population is pressing hard upon the limits of food and space, the government will try to limit birthrate. In

30、a highly industrialized society a decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market. So the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one that is in decline. 41 A small population may mean _. （ A） higher

31、productivity, but a lower average income （ B） lower productivity, but a higher average income （ C） lower productivity, but a lower average income （ D） higher productivity, and a higher average income 42 According to the passage, a large population will provide a chance for developing _. （ A） agricul

32、ture （ B） transport （ C） industry （ D） national economy 43 In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate _. （ A） goes up （ B） goes down （ C） remains stable （ D） is out of control 44 From the passage we know that, slowly raising birthrate perhaps is good for _. （ A） a de

33、veloping nation （ B） a developed nation （ C） every nation with a big population （ D） every nation with a small population 45 It isnt an easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because_. （ A） there are too many undeveloped countries in the world （ B） undeveloped co

34、untries in the world （ C） different governments have different views of the questions （ D） even developed countries may have complex problems Task 3 Directions: The following is a passage.
