问题     Cursive (草书), the art of penmanship cast aside in recent years as schools increasingly focus on keyboarding, may be getting a second act. Last year, Alabama and Louisiana became the latest of 14 states to pass laws requiring cursive【C1】________in public schools.
    As we as a society find ourselves【C2】________more and more on computers, cell phones, and other forms of technology to communicate and express ourselves, many educators have declared cursive an【C3】________ skill.
    But proponents of cursive say it provides students with the practical skills to take notes more quickly, read and understand a broader range of documents, and sign their name in a more【C4】________pleasing way. And some suggest that the benefits go beyond practical: cursive, they say, can encourage【C5】________, allow young people to more easily express themselves in writing, and even【C6】________SAT college entrance exam scores.
    A study published in 2012 that examined the writing habits of Canadian second-grade students found that students learning cursive benefitted more in their work than students who only learned print. The study didn’t, however,【C7】________for a future where handwriting could potentially be replaced【C8】________by typing on computer keyboards—a method that some penmanship skeptics argue is even more【C9】________to self-expression than cursive.
    Other benefits of teaching the lost art of cursive, some proponents say, can’t be quantified through studies and test results. Perhaps the strongest argument for the【C10】________of cursive is that it is, or at least can be, beautiful.
    A) account        F) creativity   K) irreplaceable
    B) adherent       G) entirely     L) proficiency
    C) aesthetically  H) eventually   M) relying
    D) boost          I) exploring    N) retention
    E) conducive      J) feature      O) unnecessary
【C6】
选项
答案D
解析 动词辨析题。空格位于谓语并列结构中，之后是名词短语SAT college entrance exam scores，据此推断应填入动词，且根据之前的并列动词encourage和allow可知，应使用动词原形。根据上文可知，空格前的并列谓语部分是作者提到的潜在能力提高的一种情况，其后搭配的宾语是SAT大学入学考试的分数，可知此处应该是说能够提高分数，故答案为D项boost“促进；增加”。
