although not proven, there have been concerns in recent years that the rise of text messaging and “chatspeak” used in social media could be leading to a reduction in literacy, as abbreviations (缩写) become commonly used by children. opinions differ on this possibility. some research suggests that this may not necessarily be true, but other studies have shown that in some cases it is a cause for concern.but the end of school education may be too late. obviously, the main time for learning is during childhood when most people can achieve a reasonable level of spelling to help their overall literacy. but it is perhaps surprising that many adults have extremely poor spelling and struggle with common words such as embarrass, occasion and restaurant.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了为什么学习拼写很重要。4childrens difficulty in learning spelling lies in the fact that _.athey dont know how to readbthe rules are difficult to mastercmany words are long and complexdthe letters dont match speech sounds解析：选d细节理解题。由第一段中的“the problem with english spelling is that the letters do not correspond to (与相对应) speech sounds.”可知，英语拼写的困难在于字母与发音不一致。5the underlined word “decent” in paragraph 3 can best be replaced by “_”aquick bgoodqualitycrecent dwellmeaning解析：选b词义猜测题。由画线词后的“completing the application correctly”和“make a good impression”以及第三段最后一句可推断，要在求职时留下好印象必须要有一份得体的、相当不错的简历。由此可知，decent意为“相当不错的”，故选b。6we may conclude from paragraph 4 that _.athe use of text messaging leads to good spellingb“chatspeak” helps children develop their literacycthe use of technology has caused increasing concerndcommon use of abbreviations shows childrens literacy level解析：选c推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“there have been concerns in recent years”和“other studies have shown that in some cases it is a cause for concern”可知，技术的使用可能会导致人们拼写能力下降，这已经引起了人们的关注和担心。7what would be the best title for the text?awhy is learning to spell important?bwhy do many children have poor spelling?cwhen should children start to learn spelling?dhow should children develop their spelling skills?解析：选a标题归纳题。由第一段中的“being able to spell properly is a fundamental skill”和第二段中的“good spelling skills are an important part of being able to read and write”以及第三段中的“learning to spell is important”可知，本文主要讨论了学习拼写的重要性，故a项为最佳标题。.阅读七选五4 supersimple secrets to living longer, healthier and happierjournalist dan buettner has spent over a decade studying the healthiest, longestliving people around the world, from residents of the japanese island of okinawa to the greek island of ikaria socalled “blue zones”now, hes letting the rest of us in on their secrets in his new book, the blue zones solution: eating and living like the worlds healthiest people. here are the most important longevityboosting habits of 100yearolds around the globe. _1_find your group“who you hang out with beats just about everything else when it comes to your health，” says buettner. he found that the people who live longest surround themselves with people who support healthy behaviors. _2_eat smartthe worlds healthiest 100yearolds stick with diets that are 95 percent plantbased, says buettner. _3_ british researchers tracked 65,000 people for 12 years and found that those who ate seven or more portions of vegetables and fruits every day lowered their risk of dying from cancer and cardiovascular (心脑血管的) disease by 25 percent and 31 percent.seek a purposevery old blue zoners share another quality: they have an activity, passion or career that motivates them and gives their lives meaning. sense of purpose can come from a variety of sources, but volunteering is a common one. _4_move it_5_ what is unexpected: “they dont exercise, per se(本质上)，” says buettner. “instead, their lifest
