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] 【C9】
选项
答案 E
解析 形容词辨析题。空格位于系动词is和比较副词more之后，据此推断应填入形容词形式，且该形容词可与其后的介词to搭配。根据空格所在句和上文可知，一些质疑手写体的人在对比电脑打字和手写体在自我表达方面的差异，由于赞成手写体的人认为手写体有益于自我表达，可知其质疑者应该是持相反意见，故答案为E)conducive“有益的；有助于……的”。
