【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(二)】C
There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no lon ger interested in spelling.No school I have taught in has ever co nsidered spelling unimportant as a basic skill.There are，however，quite different ideas about how to teach it，
or how much priority it must be given over general language de velopment and writing ability.The problem is，
how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing wit hout holding him back with spelling.
If spelling becomes the only point of his teacher’s interest，clearly a bright child will be likely to “play_safe”．He will write o nly words within his spelling range.That’s why teachers often en courage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to conte nt rather than technical ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece o f writing about a personal experience：“This work is terrible！
There are far too many spelling mistakes.” It may have been a s harp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing，
but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had omitted(略过) to read the composition，
which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings.The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mis takes，but if his priority had concentrated on the child’s ideas，an expression of his disappointment with the presentation woul d have given the pupil more hope to seek improvement. 36．Teachers differ in their opinions about________.
A．the difficulties in teaching spelling
B．the role of spelling in general language development C．the importance of the basic writing skills
D．the necessity of teaching spelling
37．The underlined expression “play safe” in Paragraph 2 prob ably means________.
A．write carefully
B．do as teachers say
C．use dictionaries frequently
D．avoid using words one is not sure of
38．Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that_______ _.
A．students will be able to express their ideas more freely B．teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes C．students will have more trust in writing
D．students will learn to spell words correctly
39．The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on th at sensitive piece of writing is________.
A．reasonable B．unfair
C．foolish D．careless
40．The major point discussed in the passage is______. A．the importance of developing writing skills
B．the importance of spelling
C．the correct way of marking composition
D．the relationship between spelling and the content of a comp osition

【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(二)】D
My life suffered a lot in summer five years ago.My father died in a car accident，leaving my mother，
my two younger brothers and I alone.At that time，
I was a senior high school student.After my father’s funeral，
I had no choice but to drop out of school and work in a factory.
I really wanted to return to school and wanted to go to college，but I couldn’t.I only hoped to bring up my two young brothers.Lif e was not easy for me，
for I can’t afford their tuition even if I worked from day to night w ithout stopping.Without my father’s protection，
I thought I was a slave to the fate.
Later on，
something changed my life.I still remember that it was a rainy d ay.I put myself in the rain and walked slowly in the street. Suddenly the rain stopped！
I raised my head and found “the sky” was in fact a dark blue um brella.Then I noticed a middleaged man with one leg on crutch(拐杖) standing behind me.He said to me，
“Why not run without an umbrella？If you didn’t run，
you would get drenched.”
The man told me that he was a promoter.He once dreamed of b eing a policeman，
but an accident ruined his dream.Though his present job was n ot suitable for his legs，
it was a wonderful start to him.He was very happy that he didn’t lose heart and still “ran” on the road of life...
I was encouraged by the man’s words.I went to a big city and b ecame an assurance representative.After two years’running，I did well and my family condition turned better little by te r I returned to school and succeeded in my entrance to universit y.
Life is like this.When you are in rainy days in your life，
