Question

The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phone, writing by hand has become something of old skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful--both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology(心理學(xué)) at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children learn the skill of writing by hand.
Berninger and her workmates carried out a study that looked at the ability of students to complete different writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, people wrote longer articles and more complete sentences.
In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us get our vocabulary, word meaning and ideas. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(轉(zhuǎn)換) “those words in the mind into written symbols(標(biāo)志) on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to notice spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.
“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the choices given by the computer.”

Answer 1

小題1:B
小題2:D
小題3:C

試題分析：學(xué)生們從黑板上抄寫(xiě)知識(shí)點(diǎn)已成為過(guò)去的事了。隨著新技術(shù)，如電腦和智能手機(jī)的到來(lái)，還需要學(xué)生們掌握抄寫(xiě)技能嗎？接下來(lái)作者提出人們對(duì)此的看法，又例舉了伯寧格進(jìn)行了調(diào)查報(bào)告，所展示的結(jié)果，最后提出加強(qiáng)拼寫(xiě)有助于學(xué)生的發(fā)展。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問(wèn)題：下列哪一項(xiàng)最好的展示了拼寫(xiě)的角色？分析原文：Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us get our vocabulary, word meaning and ideas. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas 句意：拼寫(xiě)使我們的大腦思維活躍，可以從詞匯、詞義和想法得到訓(xùn)練。它也是書(shū)寫(xiě)語(yǔ)言與思維的聯(lián)系方法。因此是說(shuō)明了，拼寫(xiě)與寫(xiě)作是緊密聯(lián)系在一起的。故選B
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問(wèn)題：第五段中劃線(xiàn)詞的意思？分析原文：Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, but also to notice spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time. 句意：用內(nèi)心去看這些單詞，不僅能幫助學(xué)生們將思想變成文字，而且也能注意到拼寫(xiě)的錯(cuò)誤和正確的書(shū)寫(xiě)。聯(lián)系本意：思想的眼睛則為想像之意。故選D
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問(wèn)題：通過(guò)短文，我們能了解到什么？分析短文的中心句：many believe handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful--both in school and in life.句意：有許多人相信寫(xiě)作技能在學(xué)校與生活中依然有必要學(xué)的。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，則第三項(xiàng)符合。故選C
