问题     Cursive (手写体，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   
【C5】
选项
答案F
解析 名词辨析题。空格位于及物动词encourage之后，据此推断应填入名词。空格前介绍了手写体能给予人们实用技能，可见冒号后应该是介绍一些更加潜在的好处，再根据空格后的“让年轻人能更轻松地在写作中表达自己”可知，选项中只有creativity“创造力，创造性”符合上下文，故答案为F)。
