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.
Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?

选项 A、Parents are not interested in spelling.
B、Schools are not interested in spelling.
C、Teachers must give top priority to spelling.
D、Complex spelling prevents free writing.

答案D

解析 根据第一段最后一句“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. ”可知,问题是如何鼓励孩子在写作中自由、自信地表这自己,而没有拼写的复杂性阻碍他。由此可推知,复杂的拼写会阻碍孩子在写作中自由地表达自己。A、B、C三项与第一段内容不符。故选D。
