Over 2,000 people were buried under rocks and mud (泥). The landslide was as tall as a 70-floor building. It destroyed homes, schools, and roads. Rescue teams had trouble reaching the village because the road was blocked. People used shovels orhands to dig, but few were saved. Scientists analyzed three reasons causing this disaster: 1. Nature: Papua New Guinea has many mountains and heavy rain (over 2,500 mm per year). Weeks of rain made the soil weak. 2. Human actions: People cut down forests for mining and farming. Without trees, the soil became loose (松的). 3. No warning: The country has no good systems to warn people about disasters. After the landslide, survivors needed clean water and medicine. Many countries gave a helpinghand. Experts said: “Planting trees and caring for our earth can help prevent such disasters.” 1. When did the landside happen? A. During daytime. B. In the early morning. C. In the afternoon. D. At school time. 2. Why couldn’t rescuers help quickly? A. Animals blocked the way. B. The road was blocked. C. No one wanted to help. D. They have no tools to dig for saving people. 3. What made the soil weak? A. Cutting down trees. B. Building new schools. C. Planting more crops. D. Helping miners. 4. What lesson can we learn from the disaster? A. Build bigger houses. B. Move to cities. C. Protect forests. D. Give early warnings. 【答案】BBAC C 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 1500 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 persons 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. 1. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found ____ . A. the art began from 1500 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 2. How many people in the world are left-handed now? A. Less than one sixth B. More than a half C. About 40% D. The passage doesn’t tell us. 3. What is the left hand for most people used to do? A. It’s used to find or hold things. B. It’s used to work with things. C. It’s used to make a persons eyes work together. D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems. 4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right- handedness C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only. D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed 5. The best title for this passage is ____ . A. Scientists’ New Inventions B. Left-handed People C. Right-handedness and Left-handedness D.
