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 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 major point discussed in the passage is _______.
选项 A、the importance of developing writhing skills
B、the complexities of spelling
C、the correct way of marking compositions
D、the relationship between spelling and general language development
答案D
解析 这是一道主旨题。A “发展写作技巧的重要性”，文章中没有提到；B “拼写的复杂性”和C “批改作文的正确方法”过于片面，不能涵盖文章的整体内容。只有D “拼写与整体语言发展的关系”准确概括了全文的内容。文章从拼写在语言的整体发展中的角色的变化开始，始终围绕二者之间的关系进行阐述。故应选D 。
