问题     There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. This is, however, a【1】. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it【2】as a basic skill. There are, however,【3】different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability.
    If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to "play safe", this is to say, to avoid using words he is not sure of. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid【4】language. That’s why teachers often【5】the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability. In this way, students will be able to【6】their ideas more freely.
    I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: "This work is【7】! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible (难以辨认的)." It may have been a sharp【8】of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had【9】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【10】to seek improvement.
A. unimportant B. failed C. specifically D. encourage
E. adventurous F. withdrawn G. vastly H. terrible
I. motivation J. reaction K. criticism L. indicate
M. express N. misunderstanding O. resistant
【8】
选项
答案K
解析 此处需要可数名词的单数作表语。上文提到作文拼写错误多，书写难认，可知此处需要消极意义的名词，显然criticism较合适。a sharp criticism意为“尖锐的批评”。
