As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasing

       Ascomputers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasinglyrelying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters．But if they use the computertoo much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（笔画）of each Chinese characterwhen writing on paper．Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more．

       Do youwrite by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer asearly as primary school．And computer dependence is more wide-spread among universitystudents．Almost alltheir assignments and essays are typed on a computer．

       Allthe students interviewed say they usually use a computer．

       It'sfaster and easier to correct if using a computer．And that's why computers are being applied moreand more often to modern education．But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly,problems appear．

       “WhenI'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 writewhen faced with a pen and paper．”

       Manystudents don't feel this is something to worry about．Now that it's more convenientand efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?

       Manyeducators think differently．Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capitalsaid, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic （审美的） value．But those characters typed withcomputer keyboards only maintain their practical value．All the artistic beauty of thecharacters is lost．Andhandwriting contains the writer's emotion．Through one's handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking andpersonality．Beautifulwriting will give people a better first impression of them．”

       Toencourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have madewriting classes compulsory （必修的） and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn intheir homework and essays written by hand．

试题答案

【答案】

1.B．主旨大意题。文章围绕话题：我们学生是依靠电脑还是应该手写作业展开的。

2.B．细节理解题。由第四段It's faster andeasier {007} to correct if using a computer．和第七段中 “Now that it's more convenient and efficientto write on a computer, why bother to handwrite? ”可知学生依赖电脑是因为电脑方便，快捷，修改容易。

3.C．正误判断题。由倒数第二段中 “Beautifulwriting will give people a better first impression of them"”可知书写可以给人好的第一印象, 但并没有说可以帮助建立自信。故C项表述错误，符合题意。其他选项文中均有明确表述。

4.B．猜测词义题。结合上文computer dependence和下文的表述，不难推出getting dependent on的意思为“相信；依靠”。故B项为正确答案。

5.C． 推理判断题。最后一段介绍：许多小学把写作课已规定为必修课，在大学里，要求学生交书面作业。由此我们可以得出结论：今后越来越多的学生会重视书写。故C项为正确答案。
