Question

1．The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past．With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones，writing by hand has become something of nostalgic （懷舊的）skill．However，while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching，many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life．
Virginia Berninger，professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington，says it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand．
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand．The study，published in 2009，found that when writing with a pen and paper，participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate．
In a more recent study，Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write．"Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary，word meaning and concepts．It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas．"Berninger said．
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then transcribe（轉(zhuǎn)換）"those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen，"the study said．Seeing the words in the"mind's eye"helps children not only to turn their ideas into words，says Berninger，but also to spot（發(fā)現(xiàn)） spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time．
"In our computer age，some people believe that we don't have to teach spelling because we have spell checks，"she said．"But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level，they won't have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer．"

Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述的是：隨著現(xiàn)代科技的發(fā)展，書寫漸漸被人們所忽視．但是Berninger的研究表明，書寫在現(xiàn)代教學(xué)中應(yīng)該占有一席之地，因?yàn)榧訌?qiáng)拼寫有助于學(xué)生的發(fā)展．

解答 67．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段Withthe coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone，writingby hand has become something of nostalgic （懷舊的）skill．可知，隨著像電腦和智能手機(jī)的使用，書寫已經(jīng)成為了人們懷舊的東西，故選C．
68．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段首句Berningerand her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students tocomplete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand．可知，Berninger和她的同事做了個(gè)研究，想看看學(xué)生用電腦和用手工完成各種寫的任務(wù)的情況，故選B．
69．D細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第四段首句"Ina more recent study，Berninger looked at what rolespelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well childrenspell is tied to know well they can write．可知，在更近的一次研究中，Berninge想看看拼寫在學(xué)生寫作技巧中所發(fā)揮的什么作用，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)字寫得好的孩子文章也寫得好，故選D．
70．A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)全文的主題句和文章的最后一段可知，首段說明隨著新技術(shù)的到來，手寫已經(jīng)成為過去，之后文章中部提到手寫的好處，最后一段進(jìn)一步闡明書寫的重要所以可以推測．在今天的教學(xué)中書法仍然有一席之地，故選A．

點(diǎn)評 本文是科教類閱讀，主要考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題．在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)，首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應(yīng)的段落、句子或短語．認(rèn)真比較選項(xiàng)和文中細(xì)節(jié)的區(qū)別，在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
