24、   China is a nation with a rich culture in handwriting. “Even though the computer is widely used today, Chinese people should not forget the skill of writing with hands,” said a Chinese government official(官员).

Nowadays, the computer has become a very useful tool to help people to write. As people use computers more often than before, many people have forgotten how to write Chinese characters (字). People often make a lot of mistakes in writing.

At present, China is trying to help pupils and teachers to improve their writing with the help of information technology. With the technology, it is hoped that teachers can write their teaching contents (内容) on the blackboard and students can respond by writing, too.

The Chinese character test shows that nowadays, many college students’ handwriting has become worse. Many college students do not know how to form words or sentences in Chinese character in the right way. Not only kids, many adults also have met the same problem. They might be able to tell the general form of a certain character. However, if you ask them to spell out the character in detail ( 详 细 地 ), they can’t. On the other hand, they can easily type out the character on a computer.

In the national language teaching course, we can solve this problem with the use of certain technologies. Actually, besides technology, there is a lot that we can do. For example, we may ask students to finish their homework by writing with hands instead of typing.

【1】People often make a lot of mistakes in writing Chinese characters because_____________ .

A.they are using too much English

B.Chinese characters are too difficult to write

C.they use computers too often and many people have forgotten how to write them

D.the country forgets to stress the importance of the Chinese writing

【2】How is China trying to help students and teachers to improve their writing?

A.By punishing people who can’t write correctly. B.By controlling people’s use of computers.

C.By asking them to write everything with hands. D.By using information technology.

【3】What does the underlined word “respond” in the third paragraph mean?

A.reply B.repair C.accept D.copy

【4】The problem of college students’ handwriting is that_____________  .

A.they don’t know how to write a Chinese character in the right way

B.they only know how to type out the character on a computer

C.they can write correctly with the help of information technology

D.they don’t know how to make up words or sentences in Chinese characters correctly

【5】What’s the main idea of this passage?

25、In order to know a foreign language thoroughly, four things are necessary. Firstly, we must be able to understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly, with confidence and without hesitation. Thirdly, we must be able to read the language and fourthly, we must be able to write it.

26、   The moment I stepped off the plane after a writer’s meeting, my youngest son Jeremy greeted me and cried out, “Poster paper, Mama! I need poster paper. We’re having a competition at school.”

Being a housewife and writer, I felt like no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t keep up with the needs of my family. Back at home, Jeremy kept reminding me of the poster paper, but I just couldn’t spare a minute for it. Gradually though, he began to speak more softly, almost as if he were talking to himself. Maybe he’ll just forget it, I thought hopefully. So I put Jeremy’s request at the bottom of my long list of things to do.

My third day home I managed to take fifteen minutes to type an article when a small shadow fell across my paper. I knew who it would be before I looked up. Jeremy stood quietly watching me. Oh, my God, please don’t let him say it again. I knew what he wanted but I needed to type. I smiled weakly at Jeremy and kept typing. He watched for a few more minutes, then turned and walked away. I almost didn’t hear his words. “Competition is over tomorrow, anyway.” The small figure walking out of my room, a silent voice spoke urgently to my heart, “Get him that paper－now!”

“Let’s go to get the paper, Jeremy.” He stopped, turned around and looked at me in surprise. “You’re going to the store just for me?” I nodded. Suddenly, a look of excitement shot across his face, taking away the disbelief. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that moment. Later that day, he worked silently on the poster all afternoon. And a few weeks later, a large yellow envelope came. Inside it was the Certificate( 证 书 ) of Award. So grateful was I that I didn’t turned away from his request to get him some poster paper.
