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   
【C2】
选项
答案M
解析 动词辨析题。空格位于动词复合结构“find someone…”之中，其后有副词结构more and more，据此推断应填入动词的现在分词，且该动词可与on构成固定搭配。根据上文可知，手写体有可能重新获得人们的重视，第三段首句的转折词but提示我们空格所在句是在讲述手写体曾经不受重视的原因。可推测该句含义为人们过多地依赖电脑、手机等，故答案为M)relying“依靠；信赖”，rely on为固定搭配。
