It could explain w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hy there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression.Dr.Carlo Strenger，of Tel Aviv University，studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance：Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century.He told the Daily Mail that young people now are “affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network，which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession(痴迷)．”

答案：B
Barack Obama，Lady Gaga ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and Steve Jobs—what do they have in common They are，of course，all Americans.And according to a survey by social networking site ，they all best illustrate(举例说明) the word “cool”．
But just what ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )does it mean to say someone is “cool”？ Most would answer that it is something to do with being independent minded and not following the crowd.
Yale University ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )art professor Robert Farris Thompson says that the term “cool” goes back to 15th century West African philosophy(哲学)．“Cool” relates to ideas of grace(优雅) under pressure.“In Africa，” he writes，“coolness is a positive quality which combines calmness，silence，and life.”
The modern idea of “c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ool” developed largely in the US in the period after World War Ⅱ.“Post war ‘cool’ was in part an expression of war weariness...it went against the strict social rules of the time，” write sociologists Dick Pountain and David Robins in Cool Rules：Anatomy of an Attitude.
But it was the Amer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ican actor James Dean who became the symbol for “cool” in the hugely successful 1955 movie Rebel Without a Cause.Dean plays a tough guy who disobeys his parents and the authorities.He always gets the girl，smokes cigarettes，wears a leather jacket and beats up bullies(欺凌弱小者)．In the movie，Dean showed what “cool” would mean to American young people for the next 60 years.
Today the focus o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f “cool” has changed to athletics stars.Often in movies about schools，students gain popularity on the athletics field more than in the classroom.This can be seen quite clearly in movies like Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die.
But many teenage ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs also think being smart is cool.Chess and other thinking games have been becoming more popular in schools.
“Call it the Harry ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Potterization of America—a time when being smart is the new cool，” writes journalist Joe Sunnen.
31．Barack Obama，L ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ady Gaga and Steve Jobs are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________.
A．introduce the topic B．draw our attention
C．tell us what they have in common D．tell us what is “cool”
解析：推理判断题。此类问题要着眼于全 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )文的结构，不可片面理解。本文主要是介绍“cool”这个词汇在意思上的发展变化，首段提到这几个人主要是起引入话题的作用。
答案：A
32．If you were cons ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )idered “cool” in Africa in the 15th century，you ________.
A．thought and acted differently from the majority
B．had a calm and quiet attitude towards life
C．didn't observe rules and authorities
D．had all kinds of “bad” manners
解析：细节理解题。由文章第三段最后一句话及第四段中关键词“calmness，silence and life”等可知答案为B。【出处：21教育名师】

33．The heroe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s in Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die are likely to be those who________.
A．do very well in their studies

34．Which of the following is NOT true according to the article

C．Disobeying ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) one's parents and the authorities is considered “cool” among American young people nowadays.
D．Getting the first place in an exam can also be considered “cool”．
解析：推理判断题。由第二段可知A正确；由第三段可知B正确；由倒数第四段可知C正确；由倒数第三段可知D不正确。
答案：D
35．What does the article mainly talk about
A．The origin of the word “cool”．
B．The kinds of people who are “cool”．
C．The changing meaning of the word “cool”．

答案：C
The United States ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honoured by their children.On the third Sunday in June，fathers all across the United States are given presents，treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.
However，the idea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) for creating a day for children to honour their fathers began in Spokane，Washington.A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909.Having been raised by her father，Henry Jackson Smart，after her mother died，Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her.
It was her father ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that made all the parental sacrifices and was，in the eyes of his daughter，a selfless and loving man.Sonora's father was born in June，so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane，Washington on the 19th of June,1910.
In 1924，Presi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dent Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father's Day.Roses are the Father's Day flowers：red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.
When children c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an't visit their fathers or take them out to dinner，they send a greeting card.Traditionally，fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental.Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them.Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needs Dad.
36．The United States is special in Father's Day because________.
A．many people celebrate the day
B．only America celebrates the day
C．America makes it an official day
D．all men are honoured in America
解析：细节理解题。从文章的第一段第一句“Th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honoured by their children”可知。
答案：C
37．At first，Father's Day was fixed on June 19th because________.
A．Sonora honoured her father on her father's birthday
B．Sonora's birthday was June 19th
C．it was decided by the President at that time
D．her mother died on June 19th
解析：细节理解题。从文章的第三段第二句可知，为了表达对父亲的爱，Sonora选择父亲的生日这一天为第一个父亲节的日期。
答案：A
38．How many years ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )has passed before Father's Day became an official day since the Father's Day was celebrated
A．4 B．10 C．14 D．24
解析：推理判断题。第三段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )告诉我们，Sonora在1910年第一次庆祝父亲节；第四段告诉我们，1924年Calvin Coolidge总统宣布父亲节为法定节日，历时14年。
答案：C
39．According to the passage，on Father's Day，________.
A．people will wear the same flowers to honour their fathers
B．only daughters wear red flowers to honour their fathers
C．children must go home to honour their fathers
D．fathers are often honoured in different ways
解析：细节理解题。从文章的最后两段可知，父亲节的庆祝方式多种多样。
答案：D
40．According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to the passage，we can infer that Henry Jackson Smart ________.
A．was very kind to anyone
B．did a lot for his daughter
C．was the first father honoured in 1924
D．always helped others by giving money
解析：推理判断题。根据文章的第二、三段可知，她的父亲无私、仁慈，她母亲死后，是她父亲把她养大的，因此可以推知她的父亲一定为她做了很多。21·世纪*教育网
答案：B
When did you last ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )visit a shopping mall？In many places，the answer would be“last weekend”．Some people go even more often.Why？For one thing，malls offer goods and services that people need all in one place：food，clothing，things for their houses，entertainment，even medical services.So，are malls one of the highlights of modern civilization？Environmental activists would say “No！” They would go even further and say that consumers' behavior is causing a huge environmental disaster.They cause consumers of ignorance of the side effect of their shopping—urban sprawl(扩大)．
Social scientists a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gree that patterns of development have changed the landscape a great deal in the last half century.Prior to 1950，most people lived in towns or cities and either walked to work or took public transportation.Only very wealthy people had automobiles.Farmers lived in rural areas or isolated villages and came into town only when they needed things they couldn't produce themselves.If you gazed at the landscape you would see towns surrounded by countryside.Then a massive change occurred.
Automobiles became a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ffordable and people were quick to adopt them.Now ambitious workers could live in the suburbs，the areas just outside cities，which started to grow rapidly.As long as there was lots of cheap land in the suburbs，no one paid much attention to the usage of that land.Malls，fast food restaurants，cinemas，and car dealerships spread out in large，flat buildings.These one storey buildings and their parking lot took up a great deal of space.Well meaning farmers thought they were better off selling their land than growing crops.In ignorance，no one realized that once the land was built up in urban sprawl，the good farming land would be ruined forever.There was no way to preserve it. 21*cnjy*com
Only in recent year ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s have people come to mourn the old way of life as they have developed insight into the problems of unconditional growth.Now people realize that urban sprawl has come with serious environmental problems.The negative aspects of sprawl include air and water pollution，loss of agricultural land，traffic jams，and the death of businesses in the old town centers.Many scholars think the time has come to analyze the problems better so we can develop appropriate policies to control further sprawl.Some think the best way to do is to educate citizens about their priceless environment.
41．What is mainly discussed in the passage
A．Weekend Fun. B．Urban Sprawl.
C．New Automobiles. D．Isolated Villages.
解析：主旨大意题。第一段“They caus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e consumers of ignorance of the side effect of their shopping—urban sprawl”，第三段“In ignorance，no one realized that once the land was built up in urban sprawl”以及第四段“Now people realize that urban sprawl has come with serious environmental problems”中都提到“urban sprawl”，故B项正确；A、C、D三项虽然在文中出现了，但都是细节，不是主题。
答案：B
42．What does th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e underlined word “They” refer to in the first paragraph
A．Malls. B．Activists.
C．Farmers. D．Scientists.
解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段“Fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r one thing，malls offer goods and services that people need all in one place：food，clothing，things for their houses，entertainment，even medical services.So，are malls one of the highlights of modern civilization ”可知A项正确。
答案：A
43．Who do activists blame for environmental problems
A．Endangered animals. B．Shopping mall owners.
C．Unthinking shoppers. D．Ambitious farmers.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“They would go even further and say that consumers' behavior is causing a huge environmental disaster”可知，行动主义者认为消费者盲目、不计后果的消费造成了这一后果，故C项正确。
答案：C
44．What do scholars think should be done about urban sprawl
A．Understand the situations better.
B．Follow customary policies.
C．Start school in shopping malls.
D．Charge polluters a lot of money.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“Many s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cholars think the time has come to analyze the problems better so we can develop appropriate policies to control further sprawl.Some think the best way to do is to educate citizens about their priceless environment”可知，权威人士认为只有更好地分析问题让市民引起重视，才能够制定相关的政策解决问题，故A项正确。
答案：A
45．What is the scholars' attitude towards urban sprawl 【版权所有：21教育】
A．Respectful. B．Disapproving.
C．Pessimistic. D．Doubtful.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“M ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )any scholars think...their priceless environment”可知他们是不赞同城市扩张的。

Recently，the_deci ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sion_that_Chinese_senior_high_school_students_may_sit_for_more_than_one_English_tests_in_the_College_Entrance_Exam_every_year_has_sparkled_a_heated_discussion.
The experts ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )applaud the decision，claiming that students' actual level of English can be better reflected in this way.As for the English teachers，they believe when guaranteed with chances to make up for unsatisfying performance，students will suffer less stress and won't feel so anxious about the tests.Meanwhile，they remind the students that English is a universal language to solve the world problems，so no matter how the students are tested，a good command of English is a must.As far as the parents are concerned，if their children get a desired score in an early attempt，more time can be spared to develop their personal interests.From where I stand，whatever changes take place，we should try our best to learn English well.
第二节 读写任务(共1小题；满分25分)
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
During the re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cently televised Chinese Character Dictation Contest by CCTV 10，when the host asked the 14 year old contestant Yu Shuang from Guizhou Province to write the word for toad(蟾蜍)，the audience frowned.Yu failed as she wrote the character with one dot missing.However，among 10 adult participants offstage，only three had written the word correctly.
Meanwhile，those ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sitting at home also felt embarrassed during the broadcast，since on several occasions they were stumped as to how to write words that are commonly used in daily conversation.
According to a su ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rvey by Beijing based Horizon Research Consultancy in May，up to 94.1 percent of respondents said they had encountered memory lapses(疏忽) concerning how to write certain characters while writing and 26.8 percent said such lapses were frequent.
Cell phone and com ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )puters are common devices to most urban children.A report on the lifestyle of Chinese children published by Beijing Women's Federation in July showed that mobile phones，instant messenger QQ，Weibo and tablets have become a major part of urban children's daily lives.According to the report,52.6 percent of kids aged 4 to 6 had used the Internet.The percentage for kids aged between 7 and 9 reached 58.6 percent，and 77 percent for 10 to 12 year olds.
写作内容：

2．以约120词就弘扬中国传统文化谈谈你的想法，内容包括：

答案：
Taking Chinese Chara ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cter Dictation Contest broadcasted on CCTV as an example，the passage points out that many people now have trouble in writing Chinese characters in daily life，which may be caused by the overuse of digital devices.
Nowadays，many pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ople often encounter the problem of spelling Chinese characters correctly，including me.I feel a bit ashamed every time I am unable to write some words，some of which are commonly used in our everyday life.21教育网
What causes this ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) phenomenon As is mentioned in the reading passage，the popularity of digital devices is a major contributing factor.Unlike older generations，young people today prefer typing instead of writing by hand.Besides，some wrongly written advertising signs can be seen everywhere，which mislead people a lot.
We should at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tach great importance to Chinese traditional culture.First，we should call for the popularity of handwriting because Chinese characters are the most important part of Chinese culture.Opening calligraphy lessons in schools would be a meaningful method to rebuild children's interest in handwriting.Then，celebrating Chinese traditional festivals is also significant to pass on Chinese history and culture.In addition，don't forget to protect the cultural relics around our country，which are precious heritages left by our ancestors.2-1-c-n-j-y

答案：B
Barack Obama，Lady Gaga ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and Steve Jobs—what do they have in common They are，of course，all Americans.And according to a survey by social networking site ，they all best illustrate(举例说明) the word “cool”．
But just what ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )does it mean to say someone is “cool”？ Most would answer that it is something to do with being independent minded and not following the crowd.
Yale University ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )art professor Robert Farris Thompson says that the term “cool” goes back to 15th century West African philosophy(哲学)．“Cool” relates to ideas of grace(优雅) under pressure.“In Africa，” he writes，“coolness is a positive quality which combines calmness，silence，and life.”
The modern idea of “c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ool” developed largely in the US in the period after World War Ⅱ.“Post war ‘cool’ was in part an expression of war weariness...it went against the strict social rules of the time，” write sociologists Dick Pountain and David Robins in Cool Rules：Anatomy of an Attitude.
But it was the Amer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ican actor James Dean who became the symbol for “cool” in the hugely successful 1955 movie Rebel Without a Cause.Dean plays a tough guy who disobeys his parents and the authorities.He always gets the girl，smokes cigarettes，wears a leather jacket and beats up bullies(欺凌弱小者)．In the movie，Dean showed what “cool” would mean to American young people for the next 60 years.
Today the focus o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f “cool” has changed to athletics stars.Often in movies about schools，students gain popularity on the athletics field more than in the classroom.This can be seen quite clearly in movies like Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die.
But many teenage ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs also think being smart is cool.Chess and other thinking games have been becoming more popular in schools.
“Call it the Harry ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Potterization of America—a time when being smart is the new cool，” writes journalist Joe Sunnen.
31．Barack Obama，L ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ady Gaga and Steve Jobs are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________.
A．introduce the topic B．draw our attention
C．tell us what they have in common D．tell us what is “cool”
解析：推理判断题。此类问题要着眼于全 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )文的结构，不可片面理解。本文主要是介绍“cool”这个词汇在意思上的发展变化，首段提到这几个人主要是起引入话题的作用。
答案：A
32．If you were cons ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )idered “cool” in Africa in the 15th century，you ________.
A．thought and acted differently from the majority
B．had a calm and quiet attitude towards life
C．didn't observe rules and authorities
D．had all kinds of “bad” manners
解析：细节理解题。由文章第三段最后一句话及第四段中关键词“calmness，silence and life”等可知答案为B。【出处：21教育名师】

解析：推理判断题。由第二段可知A正确；由第三段可知B正确；由倒数第四段可知C正确；由倒数第三段可知D不正确。

35．What does the article mainly talk about
A．The origin of the word “cool”．
B．The kinds of people who are “cool”．
C．The changing meaning of the word “cool”．
D．How to be a “cool” person.
解析：主旨大意题。通览全文可知，本文主要介绍了“cool”这个词汇在意思上的发展变化，从它的起源到后来在不同年代所代表的含义。21·cn·jy·com
答案：C
The United States ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honoured by their children.On the third Sunday in June，fathers all across the United States are given presents，treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.
However，the idea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) for creating a day for children to honour their fathers began in Spokane，Washington.A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909.Having been raised by her father，Henry Jackson Smart，after her mother died，Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her.
It was her father ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that made all the parental sacrifices and was，in the eyes of his daughter，a selfless and loving man.Sonora's father was born in June，so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane，Washington on the 19th of June,1910.
In 1924，Presi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dent Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father's Day.Roses are the Father's Day flowers：red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.
When children c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an't visit their fathers or take them out to dinner，they send a greeting card.Traditionally，fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental.Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them.Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needs Dad.

答案：B
When did you last ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )visit a shopping mall？In many places，the answer would be“last weekend”．Some people go even more often.Why？For one thing，malls offer goods and services that people need all in one place：food，clothing，things for their houses，entertainment，even medical services.So，are malls one of the highlights of modern civilization？Environmental activists would say “No！” They would go even further and say that consumers' behavior is causing a huge environmental disaster.They cause consumers of ignorance of the side effect of their shopping—urban sprawl(扩大)．
Social scientists a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gree that patterns of development have changed the landscape a great deal in the last half century.Prior to 1950，most people lived in towns or cities and either walked to work or took public transportation.Only very wealthy people had automobiles.Farmers lived in rural areas or isolated villages and came into town only when they needed things they couldn't produce themselves.If you gazed at the landscape you would see towns surrounded by countryside.Then a massive change occurred.
Automobiles became a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ffordable and people were quick to adopt them.Now ambitious workers could live in the suburbs，the areas just outside cities，which started to grow rapidly.As long as there was lots of cheap land in the suburbs，no one paid much attention to the usage of that land.Malls，fast food restaurants，cinemas，and car dealerships spread out in large，flat buildings.These one storey buildings and their parking lot took up a great deal of space.Well meaning farmers thought they were better off selling their land than growing crops.In ignorance，no one realized that once the land was built up in urban sprawl，the good farming land would be ruined forever.There was no way to preserve it. 21*cnjy*com
Only in recent year ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s have people come to mourn the old way of life as they have developed insight into the problems of unconditional growth.Now people realize that urban sprawl has come with serious environmental problems.The negative aspects of sprawl include air and water pollution，loss of agricultural land，traffic jams，and the death of businesses in the old town centers.Many scholars think the time has come to analyze the problems better so we can develop appropriate policies to control further sprawl.Some think the best way to do is to educate citizens about their priceless environment.
41．What is mainly discussed in the passage
A．Weekend Fun. B．Urban Sprawl.
C．New Automobiles. D．Isolated Villages.
解析：主旨大意题。第一段“They caus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e consumers of ignorance of the side effect of their shopping—urban sprawl”，第三段“In ignorance，no one realized that once the land was built up in urban sprawl”以及第四段“Now people realize that urban sprawl has come with serious environmental problems”中都提到“urban sprawl”，故B项正确；A、C、D三项虽然在文中出现了，但都是细节，不是主题。
答案：B
42．What does th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e underlined word “They” refer to in the first paragraph
A．Malls. B．Activists.
C．Farmers. D．Scientists.
解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段“Fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r one thing，malls offer goods and services that people need all in one place：food，clothing，things for their houses，entertainment，even medical services.So，are malls one of the highlights of modern civilization ”可知A项正确。
答案：A
43．Who do activists blame for environmental problems
A．Endangered animals. B．Shopping mall owners.
C．Unthinking shoppers. D．Ambitious farmers.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“They would go even further and say that consumers' behavior is causing a huge environmental disaster”可知，行动主义者认为消费者盲目、不计后果的消费造成了这一后果，故C项正确。
答案：C
44．What do scholars think should be done about urban sprawl
A．Understand the situations better.
B．Follow customary policies.
C．Start school in shopping malls.
D．Charge polluters a lot of money.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“Many s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cholars think the time has come to analyze the problems better so we can develop appropriate policies to control further sprawl.Some think the best way to do is to educate citizens about their priceless environment”可知，权威人士认为只有更好地分析问题让市民引起重视，才能够制定相关的政策解决问题，故A项正确。
答案：A
45．What is the scholars' attitude towards urban sprawl 【版权所有：21教育】
A．Respectful. B．Disapproving.
C．Pessimistic. D．Doubtful.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“M ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )any scholars think...their priceless environment”可知他们是不赞同城市扩张的。

Recently，the_deci ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sion_that_Chinese_senior_high_school_students_may_sit_for_more_than_one_English_tests_in_the_College_Entrance_Exam_every_year_has_sparkled_a_heated_discussion.
The experts ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )applaud the decision，claiming that students' actual level of English can be better reflected in this way.As for the English teachers，they believe when guaranteed with chances to make up for unsatisfying performance，students will suffer less stress and won't feel so anxious about the tests.Meanwhile，they remind the students that English is a universal language to solve the world problems，so no matter how the students are tested，a good command of English is a must.As far as the parents are concerned，if their children get a desired score in an early attempt，more time can be spared to develop their personal interests.From where I stand，whatever changes take place，we should try our best to learn English well.
第二节 读写任务(共1小题；满分25分)
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
During the re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cently televised Chinese Character Dictation Contest by CCTV 10，when the host asked the 14 year old contestant Yu Shuang from Guizhou Province to write the word for toad(蟾蜍)，the audience frowned.Yu failed as she wrote the character with one dot missing.However，among 10 adult participants offstage，only three had written the word correctly.
Meanwhile，those ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sitting at home also felt embarrassed during the broadcast，since on several occasions they were stumped as to how to write words that are commonly used in daily conversation.
According to a su ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rvey by Beijing based Horizon Research Consultancy in May，up to 94.1 percent of respondents said they had encountered memory lapses(疏忽) concerning how to write certain characters while writing and 26.8 percent said such lapses were frequent.
Cell phone and com ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )puters are common devices to most urban children.A report on the lifestyle of Chinese children published by Beijing Women's Federation in July showed that mobile phones，instant messenger QQ，Weibo and tablets have become a major part of urban children's daily lives.According to the report,52.6 percent of kids aged 4 to 6 had used the Internet.The percentage for kids aged between 7 and 9 reached 58.6 percent，and 77 percent for 10 to 12 year olds.

答案：
Taking Chinese Chara ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cter Dictation Contest broadcasted on CCTV as an example，the passage points out that many people now have trouble in writing Chinese characters in daily life，which may be caused by the overuse of digital devices.
Nowadays，many pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ople often encounter the problem of spelling Chinese characters correctly，including me.I feel a bit ashamed every time I am unable to write some words，some of which are commonly used in our everyday life.21教育网
What causes this ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) phenomenon As is mentioned in the reading passage，the popularity of digital devices is a major contributing factor.Unlike older generations，young people today prefer typing instead of writing by hand.Besides，some wrongly written advertising signs can be seen everywhere，which mislead people a lot.
We should at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tach great importance to Chinese traditional culture.First，we should call for the popularity of handwriting because Chinese characters are the most important part of Chinese culture.Opening calligraphy lessons in schools would be a meaningful method to rebuild children's interest in handwriting.Then，celebrating Chinese traditional festivals is also significant to pass on Chinese history and culture.In addition，don't forget to protect the cultural relics around our country，which are precious heritages left by our ancestors.2-1-c-n-j-y
