16、题卡上将该项涂黑。AWhen I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasnt the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didnt understand English. But wh
17、en I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Danny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me lo
18、oking lost and asked if he could help me. “Yes,” I said. “I want to give my friend a ring.” “Well, thats nice,” he said. “Are you getting married? But arent you a bit young?” “Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “ I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her Ive arrived. Can you tell me w
19、heres a phone box?” “Oh!” he said, “theres a phone downstairs.”When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.“ Dont worry,” she said to me, “ I had so many difficulties at first. There are lost of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You will soon
20、get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other!”37. Where was the writer from? A. He was from America. B. He was from France C. He was from England D. He was from China38. The writer thought _ in America. A. he wouldnt have any language
21、difficulties B. he would not understand the Americans C. the Americans might not understand him D. he would have difficulties at the airport39. The writer wanted_. A. to buy a ring for his friendB. to make a call to his friend C. to go to the telephone companyC. his friend to see him off40. From the
22、 passage , we can see that “give somebody a ring”_. A. means the same in America as in England B. means “call somebody” to the old man C. means “be going to get married” D. has two different meanings in America and in England41. In the last paragraph, the word “they” refers to _. A. the old man and
23、the boy B. the Americans C. the British D. the FrenchBMost 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
24、scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the worlds 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,
25、the 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 persons hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which
26、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
27、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 doesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usua
28、lly 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
29、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 dont have to.42. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found _.A. the art began from 1,500 B.C.B. the
30、 works of art ended in the 1950sC. most people shown in the works of art are right-handedD. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed43. 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 doesnt tell us.44. What is the
31、hand for most people used to do?A. Its used to find or hold things.B. Its used to work with things.C. Its used to make a persons eyes work together.D. Its the centre for thinking and doing problems.45. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a p
32、erson 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.46. The best title for this passage is _.A. Scientists New InventionsB. Left-handed
33、PeopleC. Which HandD. Different Brains, Different Hands C“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!” That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can fee
34、l how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back
35、of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.All children soon learn what “Dont touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In
36、shops, we touch things we might buy, such as food, clothes and so on. To see something well, we have to touch it.The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a bad floor. All feel different under your feet.There are ways of learning to see wel
37、l by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some mu

42、ill soon be mans new best friends.What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they cant get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to
43、save lives: the rat.How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rats brain gives a signal(信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rats brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is aliv
44、e. The rat has smelled that person.Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “ Robot noses dont work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheap
45、er and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they dont need electricity!The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “ It would be fantastic.
