三、阅读理解
Almost all calligraphy (书法) lovers agree that writing Chinese characters with a brush and ink on straw paper offers a way to communicate with not only history and culture, but also oneself. But this era 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 experienced "character amnesia (记忆缺失)", with 94 percent saying that this was 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 educators 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 the Internet language. Young people regard using the Internet language as cool and fashionable. They think these expressions are accessible. After they learn to use these expressions, they automatically include them in their writing.
1.With the example of a college graduate, the author shows ________.
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
2.By saying "...those interviewed often experienced 'character amnesia (记忆缺失)'", the writer means those interviewed _________.
A.are not good at handwriting B.can't write characters accurately
C.show no interest in handwriting D.find jobs much more difficultly
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. D.Disadvantages of published dictionaries.
4.What's the writer's attitude towards the Internet language
A.Favorable. B.Uncaring. C.Disapproving. D.Friendly.
四、七选五
What do you do when you need to look something up These days, most people go straight to Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia. But how ① _____ (rely) is it
There's no denying the ②_____ (popular) and usefulness of Wikipedia. The site is available in more than 270 different languages, ③_____ (attract) a massive 78 million visitors every month. Being one of the most comprehensive resources available, it got much more information than ④_____ ordinary encyclopedia. Anyone with an internet connection can log on and edit the contents.
Of course, there are some controls. Wikipedia has a team of over 1,500 administrators, ⑤_____ check for false information. ⑥_____, with more than 16 million articles to keep an eye ⑦_____, it isn't easy. So, while Wikipedia benefits from being ⑧_____ (constant) updated with information, it's also open to "vandals (蓄意破坏者)".
Some of the damage is easy to notice, but other things are hard to spot. The most common form involves some false information ⑨_____ (add) into the biography of a famous person. Incredibly, some of this misinformation ⑩_____ (appear) in newspapers so far, with The Daily Mail and The Guardian both falling victim to the pranks (恶作剧). So, if you're going to use any information from Wikipedia, make sure you double-check it first.

三、答案:1-4.DBAC
解析:1.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,A项“练习可以提高写作水平”,B项“为什么有些人是糟糕的作家”和C项“学生的书写有差异”都偏离了文章的意思。故选D。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段中的"character amnesia" "problem"及所列举的一个大学毕业生书写多个错误汉字的例子可推知,作者在此处表达受访者的汉字书写存在问题。故选B。根据第一、二段的内容可知,本文讨论的中心问题是汉字书写是否正确,而不是是否擅长书写或者对书写是否感兴趣,更不是在谈论找工作,故A、C、D三项错误。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据第五段中的"The number of electronic devices in the classroom is thought to be another reason... to look up a character in an electronic dictionary"可知,该段描述的是学生对电子产品过于依赖的现象。B、C、D三项在本段中没有提及。故选A。
4.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。favorable赞成的;uncaring冷漠的;disapproving反对的;friendly友好的。故选C。
四、答案:①reliable ②popularity ③attracting ④an ⑤who ⑥However ⑦on ⑧constantly ⑨added ⑩has appeared
解析:①考查词性转换。句中已有连系动词is,因此要用形容词作表语。
②考查词性转换。定冠词后应用名词形式,故填popularity。
③考查非谓语动词。句中主系表结构完整,所填词应为非谓语动词,非谓语动词的逻辑主语为The site,是动作的执行者,且与谓语动词同时发生,所以用现在分词。
④考查冠词,encyclopedia为可数名词,句中用的是单数,表示泛指,用不定冠词,ordinary的读音以元音音素开头,故填an。
⑤考查定语从句。所填词所在句子是非限制性定语从句,先行词为administrators,指人,关系代词在从句中作主语,故填who。
⑥考查副词。分析句子前后逻辑关系可知此处表示转折,故填However。
⑦考查介词。keep an eye on留意,密切注意。
⑧考查词性转换。修饰过去分词要用副词形式。
⑨考查非谓语动词。句中主谓宾结构完整,所填词修饰information,应用非谓语动词,information与add之间是被动关系,所以要用过去分词。
⑩考查动词的时态。句中时间状语so far,表示从过去开始延续到现在,句中时态要用现在完成时,some of后接不可数名词misinformation,主语视作第三人称单数,故填has appeared。
