A pen has always been an important tool when we are taking exams. However, in the digital age，this
traditional tool may become a thing of the past. The University of Cambridge in Britain is considering ending 800 years of written exams and -- allowing students to use laptops or tablets to take exams instead. The move comes after teachers of Cambridge complained (抱怨) that students' handwriting is becoming too hard to recognise. The fall in writing clearly depends on laptops in lessons and elsewhere.
As a result, more and more students with poor handwriting are being, forced ,to return to university during the summer holidays to. read their answers aloud to their teachers. However, some criticised (批评)
the move , fearing the handwritten word would become a lost art.
Tracey Trussell，a handwriting expert，asked Cambridge to make sure that students continue to write by hand, particularly in lessons”. She told The Telegraph that writing by hand could help students improve their memory and understand lessons better.
The move also draws the attention of Eric Mazur, a professor at Harvard University. He believes that the rise of mobile Internet use means that we live in an age in which we don't need to remember anything.
So he encourages students to bring their laptops and mobile phones into exams. With them, students can“look up whatever they want, whenever they want”and be tested on their productive skills, rather than the ability of memory.
Why is the University of Cambridge considering ending written exams
Students’ handwriting is too poor. B. We are already in the digital age.
C, Traditional tools are out of date. D. Writing on laptops is faster.
What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to
Bringing mobile phones into exams. B. Students’ returning to university.
C, The rise of mobile Internet use. D. The end of written exams.
What is Tracey Trussells’ attitude to students’ writing by hand
Unfavourable B. Uncaring C. Supportive D. Doubtful
Which is true according to Professor Eric Mazur
Mobile Internet use is bad. B. Students should write by hand.
C, The ability of memory is important. D. Students can use mobile phones in exams.
