D．推理判断题．根据文章倒数第二段的最后一句中"I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart"和第六段的第一句"It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could．"可推断出Ms．Yates是一个既严厉又充满了爱心的人，故D项正 确． 【点评】做这类题时，不仅要掌握文章的主旨大意，而且要根据题干在文章中找出关键 信息进行细节理解，并根据上下文猜测词义． 19． （12.5分）The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboardis a thing of the past．With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone， writing by hand has become something of nostalgic （怀旧的）skill．However，while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching，many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful﹣﹣﹣both in school and in life． Virginia Berninger，professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington，says it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand． Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks﹣﹣﹣both on a computer and by hand．The study，published in 2009，found that when writing with a pen and paper，participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate． In a more recent study，Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write．"Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary，word meaning and concepts．It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas．"Berninger said． Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe（转 换）"those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen，"the study said．Seeing the words in the"mind's eye"helps children not only to turn their ideas into words， says Berninger，but also to spot（发现） spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time． "In our computer age，some people believe that we don't have to teach spelling because we have spell checks，"she said．"But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level，they won't have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer．"

D．推理判断题．文章讲述了两种人对待挫折困境的不同态度，不同做法，最 后提出文章中心即作者的观点"you can choose to have a fuller，richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within，and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are．"建议人们不做生活的牺牲品，争做生活的创造者建议人们不做生活的牺牲品， 争做生活的创造者 所以D选项正确． 【点评】做此类题的技巧
