For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, a
17、nd D. You should make the correct choice. 35 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
18、 and how to encourage a child to write without holding him 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 ad
19、venturous language. 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 piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors
20、and your writing is not neat.“ 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
21、 attention to the errors. But if his priorities had centred 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
22、it. （ B） He is opposed to it. （ C） He stands neutrally(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 o
23、f students writing （ D） teachers pay attention to students 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 lea
24、rn from the last paragraph that teachers should _. （ 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
25、 The passage is mainly concerned with _. （ A） the importance 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 4
26、1 through 45. 40 Self-esteem is a private, individual matter. It goes up and down from day to day, or even from hour to hour. Thus, strengthening self-esteem is no easy task. But managers can help improve employees self-esteem in the following ways. Firstly, they must create a work environment that
27、invites people to feel good about themselves and the work they do. They must not damage or lower the self-esteem of others. Managers should avoid something said or done to someone that wears away their feelings of self worth and satisfaction in performance. For example, it is unacceptable to greet a
28、 lazy employee with comments like “Late again! You win the prize for being the least reliable person here.“ Secondly, they must develop ways of communicating real respect and concern to the employees by actively helping them improve their self-image and to feel better about themselves and their perf
29、ormance. For example, comments like, “I knew you could do an exceptional job on that new assignmentand you proved me right!“ If sincere, it will make an employees day. Lastly, give specific rather than general praise. Managers cant just go around saying to employees, “I really appreciate your work“
30、or “Thanks“your employees will think youre running for political office! Instead, be specific about what was done and the positive consequences of the action. For example, “That report you did for me on Thursday was just what I needed for my marketing meeting.“ And be sure to give the feedback to th
31、e person as soon after the event as possible. 41 We can learn from the first paragraph that self-esteem is _. （ A） kept as it is for a long time （ B） not fixed （ C） easy to improve （ D） the most important 42 According to the passage, creating the work environment should consider _. （ A） the role of
32、high efficiency at work （ B） employees self-value for their work （ C） employers satisfaction about their work （ D） the importance of the prize for the company 43 The comments given to employees should _ in order to strengthen their self-respect. （ A） be frequent （ B） show respect and concern （ C） be
33、 much in amount （ D） be negative sometimes 44 Managers should give praise to employees _. （ A） in a general way （ B） for a special purpose （ C） in detail and in time （ D） on a special occasion 45 Which is the best title for this passage? （ A） Importance of Self-esteem. （ B） The Role of Managers. （ C
