题目内容
1.A few years ago I had an"aha!"moment regarding handwriting.I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task.It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting,and then I realized whose it must be.I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year,maybe two,and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point.
It was a very important event in the computerization of life-a sign that the informal,friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails.There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters,and we recognized one another's handwriting the way we knew voices or faces.
As a child visiting my father's office,I was pleased to recognize,in little notes on the desks of his staff,the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge-except that those notes were signed"dad"instead of"RFW".
All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting,a book by Florey.She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well,but many others argue that people in a digital age can't be expected to learn to hold a pen.
I don't buy it.
I don't want to see anyone cut off from the expressive,personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does.For many a biographer,part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.
What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th-century Italy.That may sound impossibly grand-as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings.However,they have worked in many school systems.
33.Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague's handwriting?A
A.He had worked with his colleague long enough.
B.His colleague's handwriting was so beautiful.
C.His colleague's handwriting was so terrible.
D.He still had a 1ot of work to do.

A.to both his family and his staff

C.to his family on the fridge
D.to his staff on the desk
35.According to the author,handwritten notesD.

分析 文章讲述了关于书法的话题.作者认为对于一些撰写传记的作家来说,真正了解自己的写作对象,部分要依赖于阅读他们(被写传记者)的亲手笔迹,所以应该重视书法.
解答 33-35AAD
33.A 事实细节题.从第二段"I had been working with this colleague for at least a year…"可知,使作者吃惊的原因是他与一位同事共事一年之久竟认不出他的笔迹.
34.A 事实细节题.从第四段"…the same handwriting l would see…"可知作者的父亲曾写便条给员工以及家人.
35.D 推理判断题.从倒数第二段"For many a biographer,part of really getting to know their subjects is leaming to read their handwriting."可知:对于一些撰写传记的作家来说,真正了解自己的写作对象,部分要依赖于阅读他们(被写传记者)的亲手笔迹.所以我们可以推断笔迹承载了很多的个人信息.
