This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works 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, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world's population is left-handed. 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. The right side of the brain, which makes a person's hands and eyes work together, controls 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 as 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 when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason 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-handed or left-handed according to the chance 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. 11. What did the scientists find after studying works of art made at different times in history? A. The art began from 1,500 B.C. B. The works of art ended in the 1950s. C. Most people shown in the works of art are right-handed. D. Most people shown in the works of art are left-handed. 12. How many people in the world are left-handed now? A. About 10%-15%. B. About 50%. C. About 40%. D. The passage doesn’t tell us. 13. What is the left hand for most people used to do? A. It’s used to work with things: B. It’s used to find or hold things. C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together. D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems. 14. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness. B. Today children are not made to use their right hands only. C. No one really knows what makes e person become right-handed. D. Scientists think there mast be some reason why people become left-handed. 15. The best tittle for this passage is __________. A. Scientists’ New Inventions. B. Left-handed People C. How Brains Control Hands D. Which Hand 【文章大意】文章围绕人们惯用右手还是左手这一现象展开探讨。科学家通过研究不同时期的艺术作品发现，多数作品中的人物是右撇子，如今世界上约 10% - 15% 的人是左撇子。科学家指出人的两只手各有其功能，这与大脑两侧的不同分工有关。至于人为何惯用右手或左手，虽有部分因出生时大脑受损导致左撇子的情况，但具体原因仍不明确，可能还与基因及环境有关。如今，人们不再觉得左撇子奇怪，左撇子儿童也无需被迫使用右手。 11.【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段 “In 1799, scientists studied works 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” 可知，科学家研究历史上不同时期的艺术作品后发现，作品中展示的大多数人是右撇子，所以选 C。 12. 【答案】A 【解析】推理判断题。从第一段 “Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world's population is left-handed.” 可明确得知，现在世界上约 10% - 15% 的人口是左撇子，所以选 A。 13. 【答案】B 【解析】推理判断题。由第二段 “For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things.” 可知，对于大多数人来说，左手是用来寻找东西或握住东西的，所以选 B。 14. 【答案】A 【解析】推理判断题。文中并未提及左撇子比右撇子更聪明，A 选项表述错误。B 选项，根据最后一段 “A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.” 可知，如今孩子不必只使用右手，B 选项正确；C 选项，第三段 “No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed.” 表明没人真正知道使人成为右撇子的原因，C 选项正确；D 选项，第三段 “so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed.” 说明科学家认为人们成为左撇子肯定有原因，D 选项正确。所以选 A。 15. 【答案】D 【解析】主旨大意题。文章主要讨论了人们使用右手或左手的现象、原因等，“Which Hand” 涵盖了文章关于左右手探讨的核心内容，作为标题最合适。A 选项 “科学家的新发明” 与文章内容无关；B 选项 “左撇子” 只是文章部分内容，不够全面；C 选项 “大脑如何控制手” 也只是文章的部分内容，不能概括全文。所以选 D。 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A-E选项，选出可以填入1-5各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 China’s highly-respected translator and writer Yang Jiang passed away on 25 May, 2016 in Being Jing, aged 105. 1 ‌ As a baby she liked laughing, Her parents led every daughter develop their character freely.

A. to tell us to watch more comic strips B. to show us how to become a cartoonist C. to introduce some information about Jim Davis D. to prove Garfield the most popular cartoon character (D) Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works 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, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world's population is left-handed. 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. The right side of the brain, which makes a person's hands and eyes work together, controls 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 as 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 when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason 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-handed or left-handed according to the chance 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. 11. What did the scientists find after studying works of art made at different times in history? A. The art began from 1,500 B.C. B. The works of art ended in the 1950s. C. Most people shown in the works of art are right-handed. D. Most people shown in the works of art are left-handed. 12. How many people in the world are left-handed now? A. About 10%-15%. B. About 50%. C. About 40%. D. The passage doesn’t tell us. 13. What is the left hand for most people used to do? A. It’s used to work with things: B. It’s used to find or hold things. C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together. D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems. 14. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness. B. Today children are not made to use their right hands only. C. No one really knows what makes e person become right-handed. D. Scientists think there mast be some reason why people become left-handed. 15. The best tittle for this passage is __________. A. Scientists’ New Inventions. B. Left-handed People C. How Brains Control Hands D. Which Hand 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A-E选项，选出可以填入1-5各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 China’s highly-respected translator and writer Yang Jiang passed away on 25 May, 2016 in Being Jing, aged 105. 1 ‌ As a baby she liked laughing, Her parents led every daughter develop their character freely.
