How do you feel about it? Would you prefer to live in a world with or without mobile phones? I ordered some food on my phone in the afternoon. When I got home from work that evening, I saw they were at my door. So fast! Did you think about how people communicated in the past and did things without mobile phones? For example, before phones, if you wanted to keep in touch with someone far away, you needed to send them a letter in the mail. When my mom was studying at school, she used to do this with her “pen pal”. My mom would write to her pen pal every few months, after a little while, her pen pal would write back. Later, mail became a common (常见的) thing, sending letters in the post felt so slow to people. It became known as “snail mail”! How did people communicate at the airport (机场) before mobile phones? My dad said that in the 1970s there used to be message boards at some airports. If you needed to leave the airport and wanted to leave a message for a friend who would be arriving later, you could write them a message and stick it on the message board. Then, your friend could go check the board and see what you wrote to them! 56. How did the writer’s mom keep in touch with her pen pal? A. By talking on the phones. B. By mailing letters. C. By studying at school. D. By keeping diaries. 57. What’s the meaning of “snail mail” in paragraph 3? A. Sending letters was very slow. B. Sending letters was famous. C Email was a common thing. D.

At the gate of the plane. 59. What can we learn from the passage? A. We can live without mobile phones. B. The writer’s mom often uses her mobile phone. C. There are many message boards at airports now. D. The way we communicate changes a lot because of science. 60. What is the story mainly about? A. The importance of ordering food. B. Ways of keeping in touch in the past. C. The importance of communication. D. Ways of making friends in the past. 【答案】56. B 57. A 58. C 59. D 60. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了过去在手机没有出现之前人们的交流方式。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据“if you wanted to keep in touch with someone far away, you needed to send them a letter in the mail. When my mom was studying at school, she used to do this with her ‘pen pal’”可知，如果你想和远方的人保持联系，需要给他们寄信，作者的妈妈和她的笔友就是这么保持联系的，即“通过寄信”。故选B。 【57题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“...sending letters in the post felt so slow to people. It became known as ‘snail mail’”可知，“蜗牛信件”是由于邮寄信件在过去对人们来说速度太慢了。故选A。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据“My dad said that in the 1970s there used to be message boards at some airports.”和“you could write them a message and stick it on the message board”可知，在20世纪70年代，人们可以在机场留言板上留言。故选C。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Because of science, the way we communicate with others has greatly changed”可知，由于科技，我们与他人交流的方式改变了很多。故选D。 60题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Did you think about how people communicated in the past and did things without mobile phones”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了过去没有手机时，人们之间是如何交流的，即保持联系的方式。故选B。 D Do you know any left-handers? Their special day is on August 13th. It is International Left-Handers Day! Only about 10% of people are left-handers. Why are some people left-handed? Scientist are still looking for the answer. DNA might be one reason (理由). The second reason is how people hold and throw things at an early age. This can also affect people’s later hand use. Another reason may be that some people might hurt their right hands. Then they begin to use their left hands more often. Some people say left-handers are smarter than right-handers. Is it true? Scientists say that left-handers don’t have higher IQs than right-handers. They just use different sides of their brain. As a study shows, the left side of our brain is good at languages and writing. While the right side of our brain is good at creative (创造力) and feelings. Some Dutch scientists did over 30 studies which included over half a millon people. They found there was no connection (联系) between handedness and language ability (能力). Moreover, right-handers do have better space (空间) ability than left-handers. Another recent study on tens of thousands of people found that left-handedness was more common among people with very low IQ. 61. When is International Left-Handers Day? A. On Aug. 10th. B. On Aug. 13th. C. On Sept. 15th. D. On Sept. 30th. 62. Why are some people left-handed? A. They have much higher IQs. B. The DNA might be one reason. C. Their left hands got hurt before. D. They liked throwing things at an early age. 63. What does the underlined word “They” mean? A. Brain scientists. B. Higher IQ people. C. The left brain and right brain. D. Left-handers and right-handers. 64. What can we know from the scientists’ study? A. Left-handers may have lower IQ. B. Right-handers use the brain more. C. Right-handers are good at language. D. Left-handers have better space ability. 65. What is the best title for the passage? A. Do you like left-handers? B. What can left-handers do? C. Are left-handers really smarter? D. Do you know any left-handers? 【答案】61. B 62. B 63. D 64. A 65. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了左撇子是否比右撇子更聪明。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Their special day is on August 13th.

Actually found that left-handedness was more common among people with very low IQ.”可知，另一项最近对数万人的研究发现，左撇子在智商非常低的人中更为常见。因此可知左撇子可能智商较低，故选A。 【65题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文，尤其是根据“Some people say left-handers are smarter than right-handers. Is it true?”可知，有人说左撇子比右撇子聪明，这是真吗？可知本文主要讲述了左撇子是否比右撇子更聪明。故选C。 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 If you have a strong interest in a subject with several friends, you may want to start a club about it. ____66____ You can also get some great experience and this will help you a lot in the future.

In order to keep in good health they know they have to exercise. Doctors say exercise is good for us. It makes your body strong. Children who often exercise are more active. That means they do better in schoolwork than those who don’t exercise. There are many ways to exercise. You can walk, run, swim, skate, or play ball games. Make sure you exercise in the following ways: You have to like what you are doing. Exercise enough but not too much. It’s best to exercise twice a week. Thirty minutes each time is enough. Try all kinds of sports until you find one, two or even three sports that feel right for you. You can exercise at fitness centers. There is a lot of equipment in the centers. The equipment will help you exercise your arms, legs and other parts of your body to make you keep it. Some people buy equipment to exercise at home. But it’s very expensive. Exercising can be fun. Friends can exercise together at a fitness center, or they can play sports together. How do you exercise? 51. Exercise can help children ________. A. feel excited B. keep active C. look different D. be happy 52. Which of the following is NOT mentioned (被提及) in the passage? A. B. C. D. 53. Each time, it’s enough to exercise for ________.

In which part of a newspaper may we read the passage? A. Culture and history. B. Sport and health. C. Food and drinks. D. Science and nature. C Because of science, the way we communicate (交流) with others has greatly changed. How do you feel about it? Would you prefer to live in a world with or without mobile phones? I ordered some food on my phone in the afternoon. When I got home from work that evening, I saw they were at my door. So fast! Did you think about how people communicated in the past and did things without mobile phones? For example, before phones, if you wanted to keep in touch with someone far away, you needed to send them a letter in the mail. When my mom was studying at school, she used to do this with her “pen pal”. My mom would write to her pen pal every few months, after a little while, her pen pal would write back. Later, mail became a common (常见的) thing, sending letters in the post felt so slow to people. It became known as “snail mail”! How did people communicate at the airport (机场) before mobile phones? My dad said that in the 1970s there used to be message boards at some airports. If you needed to leave the airport and wanted to leave a message for a friend who would be arriving later, you could write them a message and stick it on the message board. Then, your friend could go check the board and see what you wrote to them! 56. How did the writer’s mom keep in touch with her pen pal? A. By talking on the phones. B. By mailing letters. C. By studying at school. D. By keeping diaries. 57. What’s the meaning of “snail mail” in paragraph 3? A. Sending letters was very slow. B. Sending letters was famous. C. Email was a common thing. D. Email was popular in the past. 58. Where could people leave messages at an airport in the 1970s? A. In the hall of the airport. B. On the information desk. C. On the message board. D. At the gate of the plane. 59. What can we learn from the passage? A. We can live without mobile phones. B. The writer’s mom often uses her mobile phone. C. There are many message boards at airports now. D. The way we communicate changes a lot because of science. 60. What is the story mainly about? A. The importance of ordering food. B. Ways of keeping in touch in the past. C. The importance of communication. D. Ways of making friends in the past. D Do you know any left-handers? Their special day is on August 13th. It is International Left-Handers Day! Only about 10% of people are left-handers. Why are some people left-handed? Scientist are still looking for the answer. DNA might be one reason (理由). The second reason is how people hold and throw things at an early age. This can also affect people’s later hand use. Another reason may be that some people might hurt their right hands. Then they begin to use their left hands more often. Some people say left-handers are smarter than right-handers. Is it true? Scientists say that left-handers don’t have higher IQs than right-handers. They just use different sides of their brain. As a study shows, the left side of our brain is good at languages and writing. While the right side of our brain is good at creative (创造力) and feelings. Some Dutch scientists did over 30 studies which included over half a millon people. They found there was no connection (联系) between handedness and language ability (能力). Moreover, right-handers do have better space (空间) ability than left-handers. Another recent study on tens of thousands of people found that left-handedness was more common among people with very low IQ. 61. When is International Left-Handers Day? A. On Aug. 10th. B. On Aug. 13th. C. On Sept. 15th. D. On Sept. 30th. 62. Why are some people left-handed? A. They have much higher IQs. B. The DNA might be one reason. C. Their left hands got hurt before. D. They liked throwing things at an early age. 63. What does the underlined word “They” mean? A Brain scientists. B. Higher IQ people. C. The left brain and right brain. D. Left-handers and right-handers. 64. What can we know from the scientists’ study? A. Left-handers may have lower IQ. B. Right-handers use the brain more. C. Right-handers are good at language. D.
