Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10-15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day - which really for handwriting is pretty much.

Many adults remember learning that way - by copying letters over and over again. Today’ s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.

Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency - writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.

But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one-fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important anymore because of computers and voice recognition programs.

But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.

答案解析

文章介紹了在鍵盤普及的年代美國的書法教學(xué)情況。

1.【答案】A

【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中”90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting”可知書法教學(xué)是基本的教學(xué)要求，A項為正確推論。根據(jù)”One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting”可知，很多老師不愿意教書法課，B項錯誤;根據(jù)第一段末句可知C項錯誤;根據(jù)全段判斷，只是說鍵盤普及使一些人認(rèn)為書法漸漸過時了，D項錯誤。故選A。

2.【答案】D

【解析】細(xì)節(jié)認(rèn)定題。根據(jù)第二段可知，傳統(tǒng)的書法教學(xué)重復(fù)很多遍并且持續(xù)時間長，因此A、B兩項內(nèi)容正確。根據(jù)第三段第一句可知C項內(nèi)容正確;根據(jù)最后一段第二句可知D項內(nèi)容錯誤。故選D。

3.【答案】A

【解析】推測詞義題。根據(jù)下文”which means forming the letters so they can be read”可推測畫線詞的意思是”清楚，易讀”。故選A。

4.【答案】B

【解析】標(biāo)題歸納題。作者對美國書法教學(xué)的現(xiàn)狀作了敘述，沒有自己的主觀評論，故選擇B。A項沒有涉及，C項只是其中一部分內(nèi)容，D項只是一部分人的觀點。故選B。

5.【答案】B

【解析】態(tài)度判斷題。根據(jù)全文的敘述，作者只是將美國書法教學(xué)的現(xiàn)狀和不同人的觀點呈現(xiàn)出來，并沒有發(fā)表自己的見解，因此作者持客觀的態(tài)度。故選B。
