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
【C7】
选项
答案A
解析 动词辨析题。空格位于助动词didn’t之后、介词for之前，据此推断应填入动词原形，且该动词可与for构成固定搭配。该段首句援引了一个研究，发现学习草书的学生比那些只学过打字的学生在工作中受益更多，再根据选项中能与介词for搭配的词的情况，可知该句是说这个研究没有解释草书未来是否会被电脑打字所代替，故答案为A项account“解释，说明”。
