Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案。Are You Right Handed or Left Handed?
Which hand do you use when write? About 8 to 15 percent of people are left handed. They often have to use tools that are designed for right-handed people. So it is difficult for left-handers to use most tools. If you are right handed, try this experiment: Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces. Don't be surprised if you feel awkward（別扭的）.
In the past, people thought it was strange to use the left hand. Young students looked down upon their left-handed classmates. Some children were even punished for using their left hand to write. But these days parents and teachers have accepted that. In almost every school in the world, left-handed students can use their left hand to write.
What causes people to be left handed or right handed? Experts have searched long and hard on this. They conclude（得出結(jié)論） that left-handed people are left handed for the same reason that right-handed people are right handed. One out of every ten people just is a left-handed people are right handed. One out of every ten people just is a left-hander. It's simply like the color of our eyes – some people have brown eyes, while some others have black eyes.
However, may researchers think that left-handers and right-handers are different in some aspects. Right-handers are more talkative and outgoing than left-handers. Many right-handed people understand spoken words better. For example, after they listen to directions to a supermarket, they can find it easily. Right-handers are good at organizing people, too. They are also better basketball guards. Just ask Yao Ming.
Research shows that left-handers are creative and artistic. Many famous performers, like Jim Carrey and Paul McCartney, are left handed. Many left-handers learn better visually（在視覺方面）. In art, both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were left handed. In music, Ludwig van Beethoven was left handed. In science, you find Newton and Einstein. The left-handed people are also really good at tennis and other single sports.
If you prefer one hand, but you are still good at writing with the other, you are mixed. Research shows mixed-handers can remember everyday things better than other people. What did you eat for lunch two weeks ago? If you're mixed handed, you can probably remember.

【解析】本文主要介紹了管用右手和左撇子的相關(guān)知識(shí)。因?yàn)榇蟛糠止ぞ叨际菫閼T用右手的人設(shè)計(jì)的，因此對(duì)于左撇子的人來說用大部分工具很難。研究人員認(rèn)為左撇子和慣用右手的人在某些方面是不同的。
（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的 If you are right handed, try this experiment: Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces. Don't be surprised if you feel awkward（別扭的）.可知慣用右手的人用左手去切土豆會(huì)感到別扭。故選C。
（2）段落大意題。根據(jù)第二段的In the past, people thought it was strange to use the left hand.和But these days parents and teachers have accepted that.前后的對(duì)比可知，這段的意思是人們對(duì)左撇子過去和現(xiàn)在在看法上的轉(zhuǎn)變。故選D。
（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的Right-handers are good at organizing people, too.可知慣用右手的人是好的組織者，故選B。
（4）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的Right-handers are more talkative and outgoing than left-handers. 可知A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)最后一段的Research shows mixed-handers can remember everyday things better than other people.可知C項(xiàng)的說法錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)第一段的They often have to use tools that are designed for right-handed people.可知D項(xiàng)的說法錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)第三段的Experts have searched long and hard on this. They conclude（得出結(jié)論） that left-handed people are left handed for the same reason that right-handed people are right handed. 可知左撇子就像用慣右手的人一樣都是普通的人，只是習(xí)慣不同而已，故B項(xiàng)的說法正確，故選B。
