Cursive (手写体，草书), the art of penmanship cast aside in recent years as school

游客2023-08-05  22
问题     Cursive (手写体，草书), the art of penmanship cast aside in recent years as schools increasingly focus on keyboarding, may be getting a second act. Last year, Alabama and Louisiana became the latest of 14 states to pass laws requiring cursive【C1】________in public schools.
    As we as a society find ourselves【C2】________more and more on computers, cell phones, and other forms of technology to communicate and express ourselves, many educators have declared cursive an【C3】________skill.
    But proponents of cursive say it provides students with the practical skills to take notes more quickly, read and understand a broader range of documents, and sign their name in a more【C4】________pleasing way. And some suggest that the benefits go beyond practical: cursive, they say, can encourage【C5】________, allow young people to more easily express themselves in writing, and even【C6】________SAT college entrance exam scores.
    A study published in 2012 that examined the writing habits of Canadian second-grade students found that students learning cursive benefitted more in their work than students who only learned print. The study didn’t, however,【C7】________for a future where handwriting could potentially be replaced【C8】________by typing on computer keyboards—a method that some penmanship skeptics argue is even more【C9】________to self-expression than cursive.
    Other benefits of teaching the lost art of cursive, some proponents say, can’t be quantified through studies and test results. Perhaps the strongest argument for the【C10】________of cursive is that it is, or at least can be, beautiful.
    A) account         F) creativity    K) irreplaceable
    B) adherent        G) entirely      L) proficiency
    C) aesthetically   H) eventually    M) relying
    D) boost           I) exploring     N) retention
    E) conducive       J) feature       O) unnecessary   [br] 【C1】
选项
答案 L
解析 名词辨析题。空格位于动词现在分词requiring和名词cursive之后、介宾短语之前，据此推断应填入名词。上文提到手写体可能会再度隆重登场，下文则说到随着人们越来越多地使用电脑、手机等，很多教育者宣称手写是某种技能了，可知此处是说一部分学校开始要求学生掌握书写技能，故答案为L)proficiency“精通，能力”。
