18、ne of the greatest revolutions in our world. The invention of the petrol engine at the end of the 19th century led to another enormous change in our lives. And the computer is almost certainly going to be no less important an invention than these engines were. Just as there was a Stone Age, an Iron

19、Age and so on, we have been living for centuries in a Paper Age, when almost all information was kept and sent on paper. However, to provide us with this paper, numerous trees have to be cut down every year. But now, with the computer, enormous amounts of information can be stored and sent without a

20、ny paper, using small discs or the Internet. Computers allow one to send information to others anywhere in the world, through the Internet, and to receive information from them. One can send a long message more quickly from England to Australia, for example, than from ones house to someone in the ga

21、rden. Computers are not only used for writing; they can produce diagrams and pictures, and can even be used for playing games. They are a common sight at airports and railway stations, in hotels and restaurants; in fact, almost everywhere. 36 The author seems to say that the invention of the compute

25、is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vas

26、tly 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. If spellin

27、g 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 con

28、tent 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 There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible.“ It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupils technical abilities

29、 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.

31、 skills （ D） the necessity of teaching spelling 42 The underlined expression “play safe“ (Para.2) probably means _. （ A） to write carefully （ B） to do as teachers say （ C） to use dictionaries frequently （ D） to avoid using words one is not sure of 43 Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so tha

32、t _. （ A） students will be able to express their ideas more freely （ B） students will have more confidence in writing （ C） teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes （ D） students will learn to be independent of teachers 44 The writer seems to think that the teachers judgment on that sen

33、sitive piece of writing is _. （ A） unfair （ B） reasonable （ C） foolish （ D） careless 45 The major point discussed in the passage is _. （ A） the importance of developing writing skills （ B） the complexities of spelling （ C） the correct way of marking compositions （ D） the relationship between spellin
