专题二阅读七选五训练1说明文()A(2016厦门外国语学校适应性考试)Being Lefthanded in a Righthanded WorldThe world is designed for righthanded people，but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left? 1 The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery.Since scientists have noticed that lefthandedness tends to run in families，its assumed that lefthandedness has a genetic(基因的) component to it. 2 In fact，identical twins，who share the same genes，can sometimes prefer to use different hands.There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with，but many experts believe that its kind of random.Historically，the left side and lefthandedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures. 3 In some areas，the left hand became known as the “unclean” hand.In many religions，the right hand of God is the favored hand.For example，Jesus sits at Gods right side.Gods left hand，however，is the hand of judgement.Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved.In some parts of Scotland，it is considered bad luck to meet a lefthanded person at the start of a journey. 4 A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary.In some Asian countries，eating with the left hand is considered impolite. 5 People come to realize that lefthandedness is natural.People even noticed that many famous people are lefthanded，including Benjamin Franklin，Leonardo Da Vinci，and Charlie Chaplin.Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better.The lefthandedness is more easily adaptable to the righthanded world as well.Being lefthanded is no longer a sad story now; instead，it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in.A. In other words，lefthanders are born that way.BLefthandedness used to be regarded as a disability.CThe unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied.DWhy do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for routine activities?EWhy do some parents force their lefthanded children to become righthanded when writing?FIn Ghana，pointing，gesturing，giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude.GFortunately，nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject lefthandedness like before.本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了人们使用左手的原因，过去对左撇子的误解以及现如今人们不再像以前那样拒绝左撇子了。1D上句提到：但是为什么有十分之一的人喜欢用左手，第二段首句提到：这个问题依然有很多谜团。可知此处是在询问“为什么他们喜欢用左手而不是右手从事日常活动呢？”2A上句提到：由于科学家注意到左手倾向于在家人之间遗传，人们认为左撇子有这方面的基因成分。因此可以判断有一些人一出生就是那个样子。3C上文提到：历史上，在许多文化中，使用左手一直被认为是负面的事情。下文提到：在一些地区左手被认为“不干净”。在许多宗教中，上帝的右手是最受欢迎的手。可知不同的文化对使用左手不利的联系各不相同。4F上文提到：当左手参与的时候，各种各样的活动或经历变成粗鲁甚至是坏运气的标志。在苏格兰一些地区，在旅行开始时遇见一个左撇子会被认为运气不好。因此下句应该是举使用左手被认为粗鲁的例子。5G根据本段内容并结合空后第一句“People come to realize that lefthandedness is natural.”可知，本段主要讲述现如今大多数社会和文化不再像以前一样拒绝左撇子了。B(2016东北三省四市联考)Applying for college in the United States from another country can be exciting and challenging. 6 But it is not difficult if you follow the procedures carefully.There are more applicants than those the colleges in the United States can accept in any year. 7 The key to successful admission is in careful planning and completing the required steps on time.Keep in mind the following advice during your college planning. 8 What kind of person are you?What are your interests?Why do you think studying in another country will be good for you?What if studying in another country makes you feel anxious?.Start planning ahead of time 9 Identify the things that are the most important to you.Make a list of those characteristics to help you compare the colleges that interest you.Talk with students in your country who have studied in the US.Plan your college budget. 10 Be sure that your information is current and correct.A.
