But now Chinese character handwriting is under threat from computers and mobile phones.A college graduate looking for a job was reportedly turned down by a company because he wrote 24 characters incorrectly in a 400-character handwritten resume. A survey by HorizonKey, covering people from 12 major cities in China, found that nearly one third of those interviewed often experience “character amnesia（遗忘）“， with 94 percent saying this is a problem for them.The main reason is that most Chinese rely too much on the pinyin-based Chinese language input method, which is replacing the tradition of writing characters stroke（笔画）by stroke. The software will conveniently choose the right characters according to the context or word frequency, as there arc dozens of characters with the same pronunciation in Chinese.Education is another problem. In college, most homework and papers are printed out, instead of handwritten. And few teachers use chalk and blackboards, with Microsoft's PowerPoint the most-often used software to teach knowledge to students.The number of electronic devices in the classroom is thought （o be another reason why students are easily satisfied with just a poor knowledge of the Chinese language and characters. It is quicker to look up a character in an electronic dictionary, but traditional printed dictionaries offer more detailed information on the usage and meaning of the characters. Students pay more attention to remembering a character's pronunciation, but not the other knowledge related to it, which e-dictionaries rarely provide.Another worry is the “pollulion” of Chinese characters by Internet language. Young people regard using Internet language as cool and fashionable. After they learn to use these expressions, they automatically include them in their writing. 8. With the example of a college graduate, the author shows.A. that practicing can improve writingwhy certain people are poor writersB. that there arc differences in students' writingwhy Chinese character handwriting is in great danger9. By saying ".those interviewed often experience 'character amnesia（遗忘）'"， the writer means those interviewedare not good at handwritingA. can't write characters accuratelyshow no interest in handwritingB. find jobs much more difficultlyWhat phenomenon is described in Paragraph 5?A. Dependence on electronic devices.B. Advantages of electronic dictionaries.C. Mastery of knowledge of the characters.D. Disadvantages of published dictionaries.10. What's the writer's auitude towards the Internet language?A. Favorable.B. Uncaring.C. Disapproving.D. Friendly.【答案】8.D9. B 10. A 11.C【详解】随着电脑上的汉语输入法、办公软件以及电子产品的影响，人们手写汉字的能力在减弱。1. D考查推理判断。根据第一段最后一句可知，汉字书写面临电脑和手机的威胁，而第二段紧接着讲述了一名大 学毕业生求职时被一家公司拒绝，因为他在一份400字的手写简历中写错了 24个字；接下来的几段说明了汉字书 写面临威胁的原因。由此可推知，作者用这个例子是为了阐释汉字书写处在威胁之中的原因。故选D。2. B考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“character amnesia（遗忘广problem”及所举一个大学毕业生书写多个错误汉字 的例子可推知，作者在此表达受访者的汉字书写存在问题。故选B。3. A 考查细节理解。根据第五段中的"The number of electronic devices in the classroom is thought to be another reason.to look up a character in an electronic dictionary”可知，该段描述的是学生对电子产品过于依赖的现象。故选 A。4. C考查推理判断。根据第六段的内容，尤其是第一句中的“pollution”可推知，作者对网络语言的使用持不赞成的 态度。故选C。DMany travelers are familiar with the UNESCO's World Heritage List （世界遗产名录）However, less is known about the organization's List of World Heritage in Danger. It currently specifies 53 World Heritage sites under threat of -serious and specific dangers'* due to factors such as climate change, anned conflict, and development pressures.

It started with in-depth research around the sites on the List of World Heritage in Danger. Based on the results, the team made a selection according to two main criteria: First, they were man-made places. Second, they still had standing elements. Focusing on the selected sites, （he team worked with architects Jelena Popovic and Keremcan Kirilmaz and industrial designer Erdem Batirbck to research and illustrate six of these legendary locations.In this series of GIFs, six sites are digitally repaired to their former glory. They include Hatra in Iraq, Leptis Magna in Libya, Palmyra in Syria, Portobelo-San Lorenzo in Panama, Nan Madol in the Federated States of Micronesia as well as the Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls. Time does not stand still, and neither does technology. Thanks to these technologies, we can travel virtually, without leaving home, to those places that, whatever their future may be, will always be part of the collective memory.11. Why did the team develop the project GIFs?A. They are curious about some World Heritage sites.B. The List of World Heritage in Danger is not well-known.C.
