Question

【题目】任务型阅读
In the age of the keyboard,some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out.
Steve Graham, a literacy professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, has been hearing about the death of handwriting for the past fifteen years. He said, "If the results of a survey we have published this year are accurate,it is being taught by about ninety percent of teachers in grades one to three."
Ninety percent of teachers also say their are required to teach handwriting.
Professor Graham says one study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. others teach it for sixty to seventy minutes a day.
Many adults remember learning that way—by copying letters over and over again. 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.
Teachers commonly report that about one-fourth of their students have poor handwriting.Some people might think handwriting is not important anymore because of computers and voice recognition（辨认）programs.
A.After all,that is why we write.
B.Nowadays teachers pay more and more attention to their students' writing.
C.So is it still being taught?
D.But who cares if people know how to write well?
E.But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it.
F.Today's thinking is that short periods of practice are better.
G.He says some teachers teach handwriting for ten or fifteen minutes a day.

Answer 1

【答案】C；E；G；F；A
【解析】这篇短文主要讲述的是忽视书写教学究竟是对还是错的问题。文章讲述了科技对传统的冲击。随着电脑和手机的普及，人们在日常生活已经很少会用手写字，然而，这种现象是好事还是坏事呢？有的老师被要求给学生上写字课，有的老师没有准备教学生写字课。
（1）C根据上文：一直听说在过去的十五年中书法已经过时。再根据下文：如果今年我们已经公布的一个调查的结果是准确的，大约百分之九十的一年级到三年级的老师在教。可知此空应该是起承上启下的作用，C项So is it still being taught?符合题意。
（2）E根据上文：90%的老师也说需要他们去教书法。E项中的ｂｕｔ表示转折，但是怎样教好呢？答案为E。
（3）G根据下文：而有的一天基本上要教上六、七十分钟的时间。可知上句应该在说一些老师的做法。G项He says some teachers teach handwriting for ten or fifteen minutes a day. 有的老师教书法是通过指导学生一天十至十五分钟去练习。可知G项符合题意。
（4）F根据上句：许多成年人仍记得当初他们练习书法是一遍又一遍的去抄。再根据空格下句：许多专家也认为书法本身就不需要去教。可知今天的看法是短期练习效果更佳。故选F。
（5）A根据上句：而是学生应该把书法当成表达思想的一种方式。可知下文的意思是：总之,那就是我们书写的原因。故选A。
