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 (优先) 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 (复杂性) of spelling.
    If spelling becomes the only focus 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 piece of writing about a personal experience: "This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors in the writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had 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 encouraged the pupil to improve his writing.
From the passage, we can infer that______.

选项 A、parents support how the schools teach spelling
B、parents don’t know how the schools teach spelling
C、people agree on the importance of spelling in writing
D、people agree on how to teach spelling in writing

答案B

解析 推理判断题。由文章第一段第一、二句可知,家长们普遍认为学校不再重视单词拼写,而事实上,学校并没有忽略单词拼写,仍认为它是一项基本技能。由此可推知,家长们并不了解学校怎样教单词拼写。故选B。
