2019中考（人新）英语课本回扣习及答案：九全U9—10
一、阅读理解。
汉字书写危机
Can you write the Chinese characters “ganga” (embarrassment) correctly? Do you know how to write characters like “tiaozhou” (broom)?
If you can’t, you’re not alone. Nowadays, most people are typing into computers instead of writing on paper. We type Chinese characters largely according to their pronunciation. The result is to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.
In 2013, China Youth Daily did a survey of 2,517 people, in which 98.9 percent said they had once forgotten how to write a common Chinese character.
Compared to adults, teenagers are better at writing Chinese characters because they spend more time learning and practicing at school. However, the impact of digital technology cannot be ignored, according to He Yu, head of a research team for Chinese teaching at a Beijing high school.
“Many students are obsessed (沉迷于)with digital devices such as electronic dictionaries and computers to help with their studies. Overuse of these tools will make students too lazy to think and write,” He said. Such worries have brought about a popular TV show titled Chinese Spelling Hero, which focuses on Chinese character writing among teenagers. In April，the Ministry of Education called for better calligraphy (书法) education in schools. Organizations like the China Calligraphers Association are also working to train more teachers in calligraphy.
Interestingly, calligraphy teachers can’t always avoid the effects of modern technology. Shen Bin is a calligraphy teacher at a primary school in Beijing. She admitted that it’s common for teachers like her to forget certain words.
“The calligraphy class is also a good chance for me to remember how to write,” she said.
