A
Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10～15 minutes a day, and then other teachers basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day—which really for handwriting is pretty much.
Many adults remember learning handwriting that way—by copying letters over and over again. Today's thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.
Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the
letters so they can be read. The other is fluency—writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.
But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.
But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive(草体字), which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75 per cent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.
1．We can learn that________ from Paragraph 1.
A. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job
B. most teachers prefer to teach handwriting
C. teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting
D. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely
2．Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USA?
A. The students are taught by practising a long period.
B. The letters are repeated many times.
C. Handwriting includes two skills.
D. T o write in cursive is taught first.
3．The best title for the passage i s “________”．
A. How to improve handwriting in school
B. Right or wrong: the death of handwriting
C. Handwriting involves two skills
D. Handwriting lessons are on the way out
4．The author's attitude towards whether still to learn handwriting in school is________．
A. negative
B. objective
C. critical
D. optimistic
B
As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画)of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widespread among university students. Almost all their homework and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking_stock_in computers increasingly, problems appear.
“When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character, though I feel I'm familiar with it.”
“I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”
Many students don't feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and quick to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only have their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer's emotion(情绪). Through one's handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
5．Which of the following statements of the advantages of handwriting is NOT true?
A．Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
B．Handwriting can impress people well and build up one's self­confidence.
C．Handwriting contains the writer's emotion.
D．The writer's thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
6．The underlined expression “taking stock in”(in Paragraph 4) probably means
“________”.
A．getting bored with B．getting curious about
C．becoming crazy about D．getting dependent on
7．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day
B．more and more students will give up writing on a computer
C．more and more students will pay attention to handwriting
D．the typed article better expresses one's emotion and quality
C
Researchers are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human­animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal­assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people's depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated (刺激)，” Edwards points out. “The problem is how we promote that, especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”
In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.
“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice，” says a seventy­year­old lady. “When I'm watching TV, he'll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”
The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.
“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog because it was metal and not furry，” Beck says. “But it's amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”
“Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper. They will record their masters' blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people's minds.”
8．The purpose of Beck and Edwards' study is to ________.
A．understand human­animal relationship
B．find the causes of old people's loneliness
C．make lonely old people's life better
D．promote the animal­assisted research
9．In the research, the old people are asked to ________.
A．note the activities of AIBOs
B．keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks
C．analyze the collected information
D．record their feelings and activities
10．What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?
A．It can watch TV with its owner.
B．It can help the disabled people.
C．It responds to all the human orders.
D．It is easier to keep at home.
11．The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may ________.
A．keep old people active B．cure certain diseases
C．change people's beliefs D．look more like real dogs
D
“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the Net.”
“I often check my e­mail forty times a day.”
“I often spend more than three hours during one time on the Net.”
“I spend more ti me in chat rooms than with my ‘real­life’ friends.”
Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug use. People lose control of the time they spend on the Internet.
For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the Net for several days straight.
Studies show that about 6% to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teenagers because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them.They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family.
Is “surfing the Net”a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms：
●You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet.
●You can't wait for your next online time.
●You plan to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours.
●You go out with your friends less and less.
12．What does the beginning of the passage tell us?
A. How to become an Internet addict.
B. What an Internet addict usually does.
C. Where to find an Internet addict.
D. Why to write this passage.
13．Why do people worry about the teenagers?
A. The teenagers are wasting too much money.
B. They used to work on the Internet.
C. The playing field of the teenagers will disappear.
D. More and more of the teenagers will become addicted to the Internet.
14．The example in the passage shows that ________．
A. Internet problems are more serious among college students
B. Internet addicts usually stay in the computer lab without sleep
C. some of the Internet users have already been seriously addicted
D. the police often help to find those Internet addicts
15．What is the writer trying to tell us at the end of the passage?
A. Don't be addicted to the Internet.
B. Go to family activities more often.
C. Do things as you have planned.
D. Stay with your parents as often as possible.

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Millions of people all over the world use the word OK. In fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world. OK means all right or acceptable. It expresses agreement or approval.
__16__Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw(乔克托语). The Choctaw word “okeh” means the same as the American word “okay”. Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century.
But many people doubt this. Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word “OK” in report s published in the 1960s. He said the word began being used in the 1830s. __17__ Some foreign­born people wrote “all correct” as
“o­l­l­k­o­r­r­e­c­t”，and used the letters OK. Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago. They say he put the first letters of his name—O and K—on each object people gave him to send on the train.
__18__The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840. They called their group the OK club. The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin was born—Old Kinderhook, New York.
Then there is the expression A­OK. It is a space­age expression. It was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard. He was the first American to be launched into space. His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned. Shepard reported, “Everything is A­OK.” __19__One story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received.
There are also funny ways to say okay. __20__These expressions were first used in the 1930s. Today, a character on the American television series The Simpsons says it another way. He says okely­doke.
A．Some people say okey­dokey or okey­doke.
B．Still others say a political organization invented the word.
C．Therefore, it has become popular in that area from then on.
D．But many experts don't agree on what the expression means.
E．Still, language experts do not agree about where the word came from.
F．It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the word “all correct”．G．However, some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age.

【文章大意】文章介绍了在键盘普及的年代美国的书法教学的情况。

1．A 推理判断题。

根据第一段中“90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting.”可知，书法教学是基本的教学要求，故A项正确。

根据“One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting.”可知，很多老师不愿意教书法课，故B项错误；根据第一段的末句可知C项错误；根据全段判断，本段只是说键盘的普及使一些人认为书法渐渐过时了，故D项错误。

2．D 细节理解题。

根据第二段可知，传统的书法教学会重复很多遍并且持续时间长，因此A、B两项内容正确。

根据第三段第一句可知C项内容正确；根据最后一段第二句可知D项内容错误。

3．B 标题归纳题。

作者叙述了美国书法教学的现状，没有发表自己的评论，故选择B。

A项没有涉及，C项只是其中一部分内容，D项只是一部分人的观点。

4．B 观点态度题。

根据全文的叙述可知，作者只是将美国书法教学的现状和不同人的观点呈现出来，并没有发表自己的见解，因此作者持客观的态度。

B
【文章大意】在中国电脑越来越流行，但如果人们使用电脑太多，他们可能会忘记手写笔画。

在北京，几乎所有的大学生们的作业都是在电脑上做的。

这样做的好处和坏处是什么呢？为了鼓励学生手写，又采取了哪些措施呢？
5．B 细节理解题。

倒数第二段“‘Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.’…”“‘And handwriting contains the writer's emotion(情绪)’….”“…‘Through one's handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality.’”分别对应选项A、C、D。

故选B项。

6．D 词义猜测题。

根据“…computers are being applied more and more often to modern education.”“When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character，thought I feel I'm familiar with it.”可知，电脑被应用于越来越多的现代教育中。

当学生拿笔写字时，发现自己经常想不起来怎么去写，尽管觉得熟悉。

由此可见长期依赖电脑就会这样。

故选D项。

7．C 推理判断题。

根据最后一段“To encourage students to handwrite，many primary schools…”可知，为了鼓励学生手写，许多小学和大学都采取了措施。

由此可推断，越来越多的学生将关注书写。

故选C项。

C

道。

8．C 细节理解题。

从文中第一段“‘No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated (刺激)…’”可知，没有人会认为一个老人会生活得更积极、有挑战力或者更刺激。

根据“‘The problem is how we promote that, especially for those without friends or help.’…”可知，问题就是我们如何改善那种情况，尤其对于没有朋友或者无法获得帮助的老年人。

故选C项。

9．D 细节理解题。

从文中第二段的“These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO.”可知，这些老人将要记日记写下在AIBO来前和后的他们的感受和活动。

故选D项。

10．D 细节理解题。

从文中第四段的“Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.”可知，通常老人们是身体残疾的或不能照顾一个动物，比如遛它或者和它玩。

一个机器狗不需锻炼和喂食。

故选D项。

11．A 细节理解题。

从文中最后一段的“…‘AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people's min ds’．”可知，AIBO有一天甚至可能有能刺激老年人头脑的游戏。

故可以推测出，未来的机器狗可能能使老年人积极。

故选A项。

D
【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。

网瘾如同吸毒。

研究表明有6%～10%的人上网成瘾，本文也介绍了上网成瘾的几个典型症状。

12．B 细节理解题。

文章开始列出的四个句子虽然表面上以第一人称作主语，但实际上是在列出上网成瘾者通常的行为。

13．D 细节理解题。

文中出现了“…people worry about the teenagers…”这个关
键的定位信息，据此可以在该段第一句找到答案。

C项是对“…because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them.”的曲解。

14．C 细节理解题。

列举了一位大学生上网的事，他之所以连续好几天在网吧上网正是网瘾造成的。

15．A 细节理解题。

文章最后以设问的形式引出了一些上网成瘾的症状，所列内容相当于是一种警示：上网别上瘾。

第二节
【文章大意】文章主要介绍了“OK”一词的来源，专家们对此持有不同的观点。

做题时需要注意段落大意和前后句的逻辑关系，还需要从文中寻找关键词。

16．E 根据下句“Some people say it came from the Native…”可知，这里说的是“OK”一词的出处，E项“然而，语言专家们对‘OK’一词的来源持有不同的意见”符合语境，故选E。

17．F根据“Some foreign­born people wrote‘all correct’as‘o­l­l­k­o­r­r­e­c­t’”可知，另一种观点是“OK”是“all correct”的一种不同拼写方法，故选F。

18．B 根据“The organization supported…They called their group the OK club.”可知，这里说的是一个组织创造了“OK”一词，故选B。

19．G 根据“It is a space­age expression.”可知，本段前一部分介绍的是“OK”一词是随着太空时代而出现的，而最后一句说“OK”一词最早是在电话被发明的初期开始使用的。

本段讲了两种不同的观点，G项起到了承上启下的作用，故选G。

20．A These expressions指代上句提到的短语，只有A项中提到了短语“okey­dokey”和“okey­doke”，故选A。
