Question

As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(筆畫) 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 assignments 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 efficient 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 (審美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. 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.

試題分析：

隨著電腦在中國(guó)的普及，中國(guó)人正在逐漸地依賴電腦鍵盤來(lái)輸入漢字。但是如果過(guò)多使用電腦，人們就會(huì)忘記漢字的筆畫。專家建議人們，尤其是學(xué)生，多用手寫字。

1.根據(jù)第一段可知，文章主要講的是電腦的普及對(duì)手寫漢字帶來(lái)的威脅，長(zhǎng)期使用電腦，有忘記漢字筆畫的危險(xiǎn)。根據(jù)第二段“Do you write by hand more or type more?”可知，在生活中，應(yīng)該用電腦打字，還是手寫呢？故選B。

2.根據(jù)第四段“It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer.”可知，使用電腦能快速、容易發(fā)現(xiàn)并改正錯(cuò)誤，故選B。

3.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段““Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (審美的) value...handwriting contains the writer’s emotion...to know one’s thinking and personality...Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.””可知，A、B、D正確，故選C。

4.根據(jù)最后一段“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.”可知，許多小學(xué)把書法定為必修課，許多大學(xué)也開(kāi)始要求手寫作業(yè)和文章。由此可見(jiàn)，越來(lái)越多的學(xué)生會(huì)注意手寫，故選C。

5.根據(jù)“It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer...Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (審美的) value.”可知，作者既談到了電腦輸入的好處，也說(shuō)到了手寫的好處，作者的態(tài)度是客觀的。故選C。
