Paperless homework will affect students’ handwriting

A growing number of primary schools in Shanghai are now encouraging “paperless” homework. Instead of writing with a pen, children can finish their homework simply by “surfing and typing” on their iPad screens.

Many people welcome the use of this new technology in schools. And it isn’t difficult to understand why digital homework could be the next big thing in education: it reduces waste; makes it easier for teachers to collect homework; and now that everything else is digitalized, homework should too.

But there’s an overlooked downside to online homework, as it shows an alarming trend(趨勢): how technology is affecting physical handwriting.

In today’s digital age, handwriting is already a weakening skill. Can you remember the last time you used a pen? For me, it was when I had to fill out a form at work. To be honest, I couldn’t write quite a few characters and had to type them on my iPhone to remind me of how to write them correctly. I know I’m not alone. There are more saying they share similar embarrassment (尷尬) when asked to write by hand.

In a time when computers, smart phones and keyboards are widely used in the world, is handwriting even important? The answer is yes. Handwriting plays an important role in the learning process. Writing a character is more difficult than typing. It requires the body and mind work together actively. So for school-age children, writing not only allows them to memorize characters, but also trains their brains the way typing can’t.

Too many children, lost in technology, lie on a sofa or in bed with their smartphones or iPads — a seldom mentioned side effect of modern technology, which may lead to physical problems later.

All said, I’m not saying that digital homework should be canceled. Digitalization is an unstoppable trend. But for courses such as Chinese and English language, I hope to see digital homework introduced later into the courses, at least after children have had the ability to write characters and spell words well.

【解析】

文章大意：本文主要講述了電子家庭作業(yè)的利與弊，作者認為電子作業(yè)并不是必須取消，電子化是一種不可阻止的趨勢，他希望在孩子掌握了拼寫的能力之后，把電子作業(yè)可以引入到其他學科中。

【1】本題考查細節(jié)題。定位關(guān)鍵詞“finish their paperless homework”定位到文章第一段第二句，故答案為By surfing and typing on their iPad screens。

【2】本題考查細節(jié)題。定位關(guān)鍵詞“welcome digital homework”，定位到文章第二段，第二句提到：“這就不難理解為什么電子作業(yè)會成為教育上的下一個重大變革”，之后介紹了電子作業(yè)的優(yōu)勢，“it reduces waste; makes it easier for teachers to collect homework”據(jù)此總結(jié)，可知正確答案為Because it reduces waste and is easier for teachers to collect homework。

【3】本題考查細節(jié)題。定位關(guān)鍵詞“fill out a form at work”定位到文章第四段第三句，原文提到：“對我來說，上一次用到筆，是在工作中不得不填表的時候”，下一句提到了作者在用筆時候的窘境，“I couldn’t write quite a few characters and had to type them on my iPhone to remind me of how to write them correctly”，故答案為He forgot quite a few characters and checked them on his iPhone。

【4】本題考查細節(jié)題。定位關(guān)鍵詞“for school-age children”， 定位到文章第五段最后一句，“...writing not only allows them to memorize characters, but also trains their brains the way typing can’t”，寫字不僅能讓學生記住字母，而且還能訓練他們的大腦，這是打字達不到的效果。故答案為Because it helps them to memorize characters and trains their brains。

【5】本題考查主旨題。作者在全文論述了電子作業(yè)的優(yōu)勢和缺點，以及手寫的好處，最后一段對全文進行總結(jié)，“他認為電子作業(yè)并不是必須取消，電子化是一種不可阻止的趨勢，他希望在孩子掌握了拼寫的能力之后，把電子作業(yè)可以引入到其他學科中。”最后一段中表達作業(yè)主要觀點的句子為“Digitalization is an unstoppable trend.” “I hope to see digital homework introduced later into the course.”總結(jié)為 It’s unstoppable but should be introduced later into some courses。

做題時首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽，掌握全文的主旨大意．其次，細讀題材，各個擊破．掌握全文的大意之后，細細閱讀材料后的問題，弄清每題要求后，帶著問題，再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息。如，第1小題，定位關(guān)鍵詞“finish their paperless homework”定位到文章第一段第二句，故答案為By surfing and typing on their iPad screens。第4小題，定位關(guān)鍵詞“for school-age children”， 定位到文章第五段最后一句，“...writing not only allows them to memorize characters, but also trains their brains the way typing can’t”，寫字不僅能讓學生記住字母，而且還能訓練他們的大腦，這是打字達不到的效果。故答案為Because it helps them to memorize characters and trains their brains。
