第Ⅱ卷 语篇综合训练
(一)阅读理解
A
Almost all calligraphy (书法) lovers agree that writing characters with a brush and ink on straw paper offers a way to communicate with not only history and culture, but also oneself. But now Chinese character handwriting is under threat from computers and mobile phones.
A college graduate looking for a job was reportedly turned down by a company because he wrote 24 characters incorrectly in a 400-character handwritten résumé. A survey by HorizonKey covering people from 12 major cities in China found that nearly one third of those interviewed often experience “character amnesia (遗忘)”, with 94 percent saying this is a problem for them.
The main reason is that most Chinese rely too much on the pinyin-based Chinese language input method, which is replacing the tradition of writing characters stroke (笔画) by stroke. The software will conveniently choose the right characters according to the context or word frequency, as there are dozens of characters with the same pronunciation in Chinese.
Education is another problem. In college, most homework and papers are printed out, instead of handwritten. And few teachers use chalk and blackboards, with Microsoft's PowerPoint, the most-often used software, to teach knowledge to students.
The number of electronic devices in the classroom is thought to be another reason why students are easily satisfied with just a poor knowledge of the Chinese language and characters. It is quicker to look up a character in an electronic dictionary, but traditional printed dictionaries offer more detailed information on the usage and meaning of the characters. Students pay more attention to remembering a character's pronunciation, but not the other knowledge related to it, which e-dictionaries rarely provide.
Another worry is the “pollution” of Chinese characters by Internet language. Young people regard using Internet language as cool and fashionable. After they learn to use these expressions, they automatically include them in their writing.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。随着电脑上的汉语输入法、办公软件以及电子产品的影响,人们手写汉字的能力在减弱。
1.What does the author show with the example of a college graduate?
A.That practicing can improve writing.
B.Why certain people are poor writers.
C.That there are differences in students' writing.
D.Why Chinese character handwriting is in great danger.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,汉字书写面临电脑和手机的威胁,而第二段紧接着讲述了一名大学毕业生求职时被一家公司拒绝,因为他在一份400字的手写简历中写错了24个字;接下来的几段说明了汉字书写面临威胁的原因。由此可推知,作者用这个例子是为了阐释汉字书写处在威胁之中的原因。
2.By saying “...those interviewed often experience ‘character amnesia(遗忘)’”, what does the author mean?
A.Those interviewed are not good at handwriting.
B.Those interviewed can't write characters accurately.
C.Those interviewed show no interest in handwriting.

解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“character amnesia”“problem”及所举一个大学毕业生书写多个错误汉字的例子可推知,作者在此表达受访者的汉字书写存在问题。
3.What phenomenon is described in paragraph 5?
A.Dependence on electronic devices.
B.Advantages of electronic dictionaries.
C.Mastery of knowledge of the characters.

4.What's the author's attitude towards the Internet language?
A.Favorable. B.Uncaring.
C.Disapproving. D.Friendly.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第六段的内容,尤其是第一句中的“pollution”可推知,作者对网络语言的使用持不赞成的态度。
B
Need an app for that? Anvitha Vijay, 10, can build it.With the help of online videos, the young expert from Melbourne, Australia, learned to code at age 7.Soon, she was trying her hand at making apps.
“When I first got my tablet PC, I was fascinated by all the apps on it,” she said.“It wasn't long before I wanted to create my own.”
She built her first two apps with her younger sister in mind.Smartkins Animals helps children identify more than 100 animals and their sounds.Smartkins Rainbow Colors teaches kids colors.Each app has been downloaded thousands of times.
Anvitha's skills won her a scholarship to attend a big tech conference (会议) hosted by a high-tech company in San Francisco, California.There, she got tips from the pros.She went to workshops where she learned about the latest software for app building.
All that training led to an idea for a third app.This one, called GoalsHi, inspires kids to practice good habits.Users are rewarded for achieving goals, such as eating their vegetables or practicing piano.Anvitha says the rewards are like getting a sticker for a job well done.
“Kids can set goals with this app and get stars when they achieve them,” she says.“The idea is to enable and motivate kids to achieve one little step a day.”
Anvitha's goal is to continue creating technology that helps kids learn while having fun.But even more important to her is that the world sees the power of technology in kids' hands.“The more training we get in tech at an early age,” she says, “the better chance we have of becoming innovation champions who will one day change the world.”
