题目内容
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 wide-spread 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.

【解析】试题分析：在中国电脑越来越流行，但是人们使用电脑太多，他们可能会忘记手写笔画。在北京，几乎所有的学生们作业都是在电脑上做打印出来的。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？
1. 结合三四段"All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer."以及倒数第三段"Now that it's more convenient and quick to write on a computer.可知答案选A.
2. 运用排除法。倒数第二段"Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.""And handwriting contains the writer's emotion.""Through one's handwriting,people can get to know one's thinking and personality."表达了汉字所拥有的特点－－实用和艺术价值，“书法包含了作者的情感。“通过一个人的笔迹,人们可以了解一个人的思想和性格。分别对应选项A、C、D。故选B。
3. 结合上下文，"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".可知电脑应用于越来越多的现代教育中。当我拿笔写字时，我发现我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。因此选D。
4. 根据最后一段"To encourage students to handwrite,many primary schools……"可知，为了鼓励学生手写，有专门开设了书法课程。由此可推断出越来越多的学生将关注书法。故选C。
