Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain (大脑). The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls(控制) the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists than among people in other jobs.
No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged(损害) when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason (原因) why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene (基因) for right-handedness, he/she may become either right-or left-handed according to the chance (偶然性) and the people they work or live with.
Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.

B. the works of art ended in the 1950s

A.It’s used to find or hold things. |
B.It’s used to work with things. |
C.It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together. |
D.It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems. |
A.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed. |
B.Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness. |

答案
小题1:C
小题1:A
小题1:A
小题1:B
小题1:B,所给答案不恰当。
解析
小题1:根据第一段In 1799, scientists studied works(作品) of art made at different times from 1, 500 B. C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed,描述,可知选C
小题1:根据第一段Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.可知只有不到六分之一的人是左撇子,故选A
小题1:根据第二段For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. 描述,可知选A
小题1:根据短文第一段及下文Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged(损害) when they are born.可知,左撇子在艺术方面有天赋,是因为大脑方面的原因,并不见得一定聪明,故选项B描述错误
小题1:这篇短文主要介绍了左撇子的人的特点及左撇子形成的原因,故选B,左撇子.

“I don’t know, sir,” the student answered. “Shall I examine him and find out?”
“There’s no need to examine him,” said the doctor. “You should know without asking questions. He has hurt his right knee. Didn’t you notice the way he walked? He hurt it by burning it in the fire.

After the game, Wu Nai, head of the boys’ team, was very unhappy. "We all thought this would be an easy game," he said. "We never thought a team of girls could beat us. This is the saddest day of my life. "
But Mr Hu, the boys’ PE teacher, said he thought the girls should win. "The boys were too confident (自信)," he said. "I told them before the match that they needed to play well. They all thought that girls’ football was a joke. Now they know better. They didn’t play carefully, and they lost."
The match had started well for the boys. After 30 minutes, they were winning 2 - 0. Their best player, Lu Ming, scored in the thirtieth minute. Earlier, the mid-field player, Ma Zhengquan, had scored the first goal in only the second minute of the match.

In the second half, the boys were the first to score. It was from Lu Ming. After that the boys became lazy, but the girls kept on working hard. Hao Meiling scored in the 68th minute, to make the score 3 — 2. Then Li Xiaolin scored twice in the last six minutes to make the last score 4-3. It was a surprising finish.
The girls’ PE teacher, Miss Wang, was very pleased with their work. "They were great!" She said. "I told them they could win. I told them that the most important thing was teamwork. The boys’ team had some good players, but my girls were a better team!"

Even friends may never exchange presents. When I go to foreign countries, I try to bring back little things for close friends, but nobody would feel unhappy if I didn’t. I don’t often remember a friend’s birthday, and few people outside of my family remember mine. If someone gave me presents too often, I’d get unpleasant. But a present from a foreigner - that kind from his or her homeland — won’t go wrong, except to government employees (政府职员) who can’t be given presents.
You usually open a present at once and in front of the person who gives it except Christmas and birthday presents. You should only say, "It’s so nice. Thanks…" when you get Christmas or birthday presents.
You may want to bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) or flowers to a dinner party, but you’re
never asked to. Nobody will mind if you bring wine, but your friend may not use it that evening.
At Christmas we often give presents to our family and sometimes our friends. We also give presents to people who have been helpful during the year- doormen, babysitters, housecleaners, newspaper senders— anyone who has often helped us.
小题1: What does "close friends" mean in the passage?
A. The friends who are very kind. |
B. The friends who live close to each other. |
C. The friends who were once classmates. |
D. The friends who you like most. |
A.The small presents. | B. Christmas or birthday presents. |
C. The expensive presents. | D. The presents for dinner party. |
A. To pay them. | B. To help them. |
C. To thank them. | D. To make them work harder. |
A. American business people don’t want presents because they are rich enough. |
B. The writer of this passage must be an American. |
C. Everyone must give presents to one’s family and friends at Christmas. |
D. Government employees can get little presents from a foreigner. |
A. Present-giving in the United States. |
B. Customs (习俗) in the United States. |
C. American people and present-giving. |
D. When and how to give presents. |
Most New Year’s parties are usually noisy. People shout and sing. And often, guests blow on small noisemakers when the new year arrives at midnight. This tradition of noise making is believed to start centuries ago. People thought that loud sounds would drive away the bad spirits of the old year.
The biggest, noisiest New Year’s party in the US takes place in Times Square in New York. Thousands of people gather(聚集) there. Some of them ring bells and set fireworks. Others blow whistles of car horns(喇叭). And at twelve o’clock, they begin to cheer as an electric sign in the shape of a red apple lights up on top of a tall building.
The Times Square celebration includes another well-known American tradition. Since 1929, the band of musician Guy Lombardo has given a concert on New Year’s Eve. Guy Lombardo died in 1977. But, Bill Lombardo, has kept the tradition alive with a band concert at a New York city hotel. When the crowds in Times Square start cheering the arrival of the new year, television cameras show the band playing the song Auld Lang Syne.
小题1: The most usual way to welcome the new year in the US is ________.
A.to go shopping | B.to meet friends | C.to travel abroad | D.to hold a big party |
A.in Central Park | B.in Hollywood | C.in Times Square | D.in Disneyland |
A.to express their friendship | B.to drive away the bad spirits |
C.to make others more excited | D.to give best wishes to each other |
A.the band of Guy Lombardo | B.the band of Bill Lombardo |
C.the band of Johann Strauss | D.the band of Elvis Aaron Presley |
