1. 选 I )。 由该句中的 has 可知，此处应填动词过去式，且表达的含义应和后面的 considerunimportant 相近，故应排除 contained 和 expressed
而选择 ignored 。
2. 选 A )。 此处应填名词，但能与后面 over 构成固定搭配的名词只有 priority ，故排除 了 criticism 和 motivation 。
3. 选 M). 由空格前面的 and 可知，此处应填副词和 freely 并列。从句意来理解，在没有拼写困难的情况下，怎样鼓励学生自由且 地表达自己，选项中只有 confidently 自信地符合题意。
4. 选 N )。 很明显这里应填形容词，选项中 terrible ， difficult 后接事物名词 something ，只有 adventurous 和 bright 可用来形容 somebody ，再由后面的play safe不冒险，可排除adventurous而选择bright。
5. 选 E )。 由前一句中的 be likely to play safe 和空格前的 avoid 可以推知，此处所填词的意思应与play safe表达的意思相反，故选项中只有adventurous符合题意。
6. 选 K )。 很明显此处应填动词的一般现在时，可选项有 encourage 和 persuade 。由 Thats why 知本句与前一句构成因果关系，而前一句说的是学生往往会用他们拼写范围内的词写文章，从而选择避免用那些不会的词，故由此可推知此句应理解为老师鼓励学生用字典，因此排除 persuade 而选 encourage。
7. 选 H )。 此处应填形容词。由空格后面的 too many spelling errors 和illegible可知，这篇文章是写的很糟，而不是很难理解。故排除difficult而选terrible。
8. 选 B )。 此处应填名词。由后半句中 a sad reflection on the teacher 可知，前半句是在指责学生，故选项中只有criticism符合题意。
9. 选 C )。 此处填动词过去式，本句中由 which 引导的从句是对 essay 的解释，剩余选项中 contained 和 expressed ，根据句意，文章 儿童内心感受的一些好的表达，故只有contained 符合题意。
10. 选 G )。 此处应填名词。根据句意，如果老师更注重学生思想的表达的话，会给学生更大的动力去寻求提高;故排除 motive 动机，原因而选 motivation 。
