In Beijing，students start using a computer as early as primary school.And computer dependence is more widespread among university students.Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.Its faster and easier to correct if using a computer.And thats why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education.But when people are taking_stock_in computers increasingly，problems appear.“When Im writing with a pen，I find I often cant remember how to write a character，though I feel Im familiar with it.”“Im not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students dont feel this is something to worry about.Now that its more convenient and efficient to write on a computer，why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differently.Shi Liwei，the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital，said，“Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value.But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value.All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost.And handwriting contains the writers emotion.Through ones handwriting，people can get to know ones thinking and personality.Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”To encourage students to handwrite more，many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的) and in universities，some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.4Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

first impression of them.”可知漂亮的书写才会给人留下好的第一印象，但并未提到树立自信，故选C。7B词义猜测题。结合上文的computer dependence和下文的表述，可推出take stock in意为“相信”。C(河北省武邑中学2018届高三下学期第五次模拟)Samanta Schweblin, one of the best young Spanish language novelists nominated (提名) by British literary magazine Granta, has visited Beijing to promote the first Chinese edition of a collection of her short stories.The collection, Birds in the Mouth, has been translated and published by Shanghaibased publisher Reader.“Sometimes I hold the Chinese edition and choose a story at random and try to guess which one it is.But it is almost impossible for me; even the length is different，” says Schweblin.“When a book is translated into a Western language, I can at least understand some parts of my stories, and therefore suffer some doubt about the quality of the translation.But my Chinese edition is more like an act of faith.”Born in Argentina in 1978, Schweblin says she is influenced by the literary traditions of the La Plata area, home to many famous LatinAmerican novelists.Interested in writing stories of ordinary lives where suddenly something extraordinary happens, something new, strange or unknown, she thinks, “The stranger and the unknown are not always related to ghosts or aliens, but can be something related to the known world, something that actually could happen.”Birds in the Mouth tells of a divorced father who worries about his 13yearold daughter and her mysterious appetites.It turns out that his daughter eats live birds.The idea for this story came to Schweblin when she was browsing the Internet, “Click, click, click, a picture of a little girl who looks frightened with her hands covering her mouth came to my eyes.Little by little, I developed the story in my mind, and then wrote it down，” recalls Schweblin.Although there are elements of violence and bloodiness in Schweblins stories, she skillfully hides them, thinking the trick to writing a thrilling story is to stop the monster from appearing, while maintaining a frightening and mysterious atmosphere.8Samanta Schweblin came to China to _.Apay a visit to BeijingBtranslate her stories into ChineseChelp to make her book more

right webpage.In this article, we note the advantages of each of these to help you decide which one would be the best for you.Perhaps the biggest advantage of being selftaught is that you are able to save a lot of money.With each passing year, the cost of getting a degree is on the rise.As a result, many students these days tend to graduate from college with a significant amount of debt.This makes it necessary for them to get a job as soon as possible, otherwise a number of serious issues may arise.Besides, it is possible to learn faster on your own, by focusing on only those areas that you are interested in.Finally, learning on your own can be a great confidence builder.You have to struggle to gain knowledge but once you clear the basics on your own, you will find yourself being much more confident about your abilities.One of the biggest advantages of formal education is that you get a degree which is a mark of recognition that you have achieved a level of knowledge in that particular field.Many companies tend to prefer candidates who have a college degree.Whats more, though formal education lacks the convenience and flexibility of selfeducation, it offers you much more in terms of the actual structure of the learning process.Last, being formally educated means that you will enter a college or other similar educational institutions.There you will get the benefit of being taught and guided by learned teachers and other subject experts.This will be a big benefit as you will be able to take advantage of their experience and gain indepth knowledge about the subject.Thus, both formal education and selfeducation have their own sets of advantages.The choice between the two comes down to individual preferences as well as personal situations.12Which of the following is an advantage of selfeducation?AA faster pace of learning.BBeing guided by subject experts.CA wider range of ways to gain knowledge.DHaving more chances of getting parttime jobs.13To get the benefit of

authors purpose of writing this text?ATo promote a webpage about education.BTo prove that selfeducation is the best choice.CTo help readers choose between two forms of education.DTo prove that its difficult to decide on the proper education.【答案与解析】12A细节理解题。通读第二段内容可知，自学的三个优点，即省钱、进度快、建立自信心。据此可知，A项是第二个优点，故A项正确。13B细节理解题。根据第三段第四、五句可知，要想受益于有学问的专家的指导，就必须进入大学或其他类似的教育机构，故B项正确。14D细节理解题。根据文章尾句可知，接受正规教育和自学之间的选择取决于个人喜好和个人情况，故D项正确。15C目的意图题。本文第一段告诉读者如果你正处于自学或接受正规教育的两难境地，那么你就来到了正确的网页。在这篇文章中，我们注意到每一种教育的优点，以帮助您决定哪一种最好；接着第二段第三段各自分析二者的优点，最后一段说正规教育和自我教育都有自己的优势。两者之间的选择取决于个人喜好和个人情况。由此可知本文旨在告诉读者如何在两种形式的教育之间做出选择，故C项正确。.七选五(2018四川省德阳市高三“二诊”)The
