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.
Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that _______.
选项 A、students win be able to express their ideas more freely
B、teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes
C、students will have more confidence in writing
D、students will learn to be independent of teachers
答案A
解析 文章第二段提到“That’s why teachers．．．technical ability”，说明教师鼓励学生用字典是为了让他们在表达自己的想法时不再受拼写的限制，因此A “学生能够更加自由的表达他们的思想”是正确答案。
