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.

While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor (监控器) a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.
Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer's Los Angeles apartment, the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked—remotely—to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past Or was she slowing down
In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid—that students haven't just searched the Internet to get the right answers.
Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of "open online courses." Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.
Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students' identities using personal information, such as the telephone numbers they once used.
Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.
1. Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam
A. To correct her typing mistakes.
B. To find her secrets in the room.
C. To prevent her from slowing down.
D. To keep her from dishonest behaviors.
2. The underlined expression "cutting edge" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. advanced technique
B. sharpening tool
C. effective rule
D. dividing line
3. For Internet universities, exams and diplomas will be valid if _____.
A. they can attract potential students
B. they can defeat academic cheating
C. they offer students online help
D. they offer many online courses
4. Some programs can find out possible cheaters by ____.
A. checking the question answering speed
B. producing a large number of questions
C. scanning the Internet test questions
D. giving difficult test questions
5. Which of the following is the best title of this passage
A. The Advantages of Online Exams
B. The High-Tech Methods in Online Courses
C. The Fight against Cheating in Online Education
D. The War against the Booming of Online Education

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。

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。
