　　3．Professor Baranowski seems to agree that ________.

　　A．spelling should represent the sound of words

　　B．we should learn how English was spoken centuries ago

　　C．different countries should have different spellings

　　D．sound changes have nothing to do with spelling

　　答案　A　[推理判断题。根据第四段Baranowski所说的话可知，他认为拼写应该表现单词的发音。represent意为“表现”，reflect意为“反映”，此处两者含义一致。]

　　4．What would be the most suitable title of the passage?

　　A．Who is responsible for our spelling

　　B．The English language to be blamed

　　C．Americans embarrassed by their spellings
