Section One Reading Comprehension ( 40 points )

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.  The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour a week to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货）, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.  I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.  People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. 41.Why was the bike so important to the couple?  A. They used it for work and daily life.  B. It was their only possession.  C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.  D. The man's job was bike racing.

42.What does the underlined phrase mean?

A. go very far to see someone

B. walk out on foot to greet someone

C. help someone

D. enjoy the moment with someone43. How did people get to know the couple's problem?  A. From a stranger.  B. From a newspaper.  C. From TV news.  D. From radio broadcasts. 44. What do the couple learn from their experience?  A. Strangers are usually of little help.  B. One should take care of their bike.  C. News reports make people famous.  D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

45. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Terrible Suffering

B. Lasting Smile

C. Ask strangers for help

D. Spreading Effect of Acts of Kindness

B

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 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.

46. 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 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

47. 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.

48. What is the hand for most people used to do?

A. It’s used to find or hold things.

B. It’s used to work with things.
