问题     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.
    If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher’s 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. That’s 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! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible." It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s 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 child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.
The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgement on that sensitive piece of writing is ______
选项 A、unfair
B、reasonable
C、foolish
D、careless
答案A
解析 推理题。本题要求考生推断作者对一位老师评阅学生作文时的态度。根据文章第三段的内容一位教师在评价一篇作者认为写得极富表现力的作文时仅注意到了拼写正确与否，书写工整与否，作者对此感到shocked。作者认为这或许是对学生写作时表现出的技巧方法的过份sharp的批评。由此可看出作者认为这位教师对待这样一篇作文的态度是“不公正的”，选项A为正确答案。
