(26) until recently, people who were left-handed were considered (27) , and once children showed this tendency they were forced to use their
17、right hands. Today left-handedness is generally (28) , but it is still a disadvantages in a world (29) most people are right-handed. For example, most tools and implements are still (30) for right- handed people.In sports (31) contrast, doing things with the left hand or foot, is often an advantage.
18、 Throwing, kicking, punching or batting from the (32) side may result in throwing (33) many opponents who are more accustomed to dealing with the (34) of players who are right-handed. This is why, in many (35) at a professional level, a (36) proportion of players are left-handed than in the populati
19、on as a whole.The word “right“ in many languages means “correct“ or is (37) with lawfulness, whereas the words associated (38) “left“, such as “sinister“, generally have (39) associations. Moreover, among a number of primitive peoples, there is (40) close association between death and the left hand.
20、In the past, in (41) western societies, children were often forced to use their right hands, especially to write with. In some cases the left hand was (42) behind the childs back so that it could not be used. If, in the future, they are allowed to choose, (43) will certainly be more left-handers, an

24、ntier that even today is largely unexplored and unknown. Until about a century ago, no one had access to the deep-ocean floor, which was hidden under waters over 3,600 meters deep. To humans, the deep-ocean bottom, totally without light but with intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at th
25、e Earths surface, is an unfriendly environment, in some ways as forbidding and remote as loneliness of outer space.Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and deposits for over a century, the first detailed global investigation of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 196
26、8, with the beginning of the National Science Foundations Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP). Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDPs drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady position on the oceans surface and drill in very deep waters,
27、 collecting samples of deposits and rocks from the ocean floor.The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year research program that ended in November 1983. During this time, the drill ship covered 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 samples of sea-bed rocks and deposits at 624 drillin
28、g sites around the world. The samples have allowed scientists to rethink what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to calculate what it will probably look like millions of years in the future.The samples have also produced information related to understanding the worlds past
29、climates. Deep-ocean deposits provide a climatic record tracing back hundreds of millions of years, because they are largely isolated from the erosion (侵蚀) and the intense chemical and biological activity that rapidly destroy much land-based evidence of past climates. This record provided insights i
30、nto the patterns and causes of past climatic change information that may be used to predict future climates.（分数：10.00）(1).The author refers to the ocean bottom as a “frontier“ in Paragraph 1 because it _.（分数：2.00）A.is not a popular area for scientific researchB.contains a wide variety of life formsC
31、.attracts brave explorersD.is an unknown field(2).Which of the following is true of the Glomar Challenger?（分数：2.00）A.It is a type of spacecraft.B.It is an ongoing project.C.It has gone on over 100 voyages.D.It made its first DSDP voyage in 1968.(3).The Deep Sea Drilling Project was significant becau
32、se it was _.（分数：2.00）A.an attempt to find new sources of oil and gasB.the first exploration of the deep-ocean bottomC.composed of scientists from all over the worldD.funded totally by the gas and oil company(4).The word “they“ underlined in Paragraph 4 refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.yearsB.climatesC.deposit
33、sD.insights(5).The samples provide better information about the worlds past climate because they _.（分数：2.00）A.are well protectedB.are in isolationC.have land-based evidenceD.have a longer history八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)As I left home after breakfast, I trembled. I was gloomy at the thought that for
34、me this Sunday morning was not the reading of the Sunday papers to cups of tea. I had to sell ice-cream in winter because I had to pay the school fees which was due next month.The first day was long and lonely. I had to learn to manage my heavy vehicle the ice-cream cabinet was at the back - on the
35、icy roads and at the same time try to remember my route and stopping places. Until the late afternoon I had very few customers.During the next two weeks I was twice caught in heavy snowstorms; in both cases in late afternoon when dusk was falling. The first time, fortunately, I had with me an experi
36、enced senior inspector who showed me how to get up a hill in deep snow. He skillfully drove the vehicle to an acute angle to the pavement and used the angle for the rear wheels to push against. We gradually went up the hill even if rather hard.The second time I found myself stuck in a valley from wh
37、ich all roads led steeply, and I finished up with the vehicle at an angle on the wrong side of the road. Trying my “angle-pushing“ method of hill climbing, I heard a faint tapping on the closed window on the side the normal serving side. I went across and opened the window. A voice said firmly: “Fou
38、r six-penny ices, please.“ I stared in surprise. A queue extended backwards across the road, its tail lost to view in the driving snow. My customers, adults as well as children, had seen me from their houses and had come out, still in sweaters and slippers, with no extra protection against the snow.
39、 That afternoon I did more trade stuck there than when I stopped at the proper stopping places.A former driver, one of my customers, told me another sales theory in bad weather. He said rain or snow kept them from their usual Sunday afternoon walk to their nearest shop; ice-cream available outside h
40、omes was an admirable and easy substitute.（分数：10.00）(1).The author was most probably _.（分数：2.00）A.an icemanB.a former driverC.a college studentD.an experienced salesman(2).What would the author usually do on Sunday mornings before he worked as an ice-cream man?（分数：2.00）A.Selling ice-cream.B.Reading
41、newspaper.C.Listening to music.D.Drinking.(3).Which of the following is NOT TRUE?（分数：2.00）A.The author sold ice-cream to very few people on the first day.B.The author was aided by someone during the first snowstorm.C.The author knew his route well on the first day.D.The vehicle was supposed to stop
42、at certain places to sell ice-cream.(4).The second time when the author was caught by a snowstorm, he succeeded in selling ice-cream to _.（分数：2.00）A.one personB.noneC.a few personD.many customers(5).Most likely the chief reason why people were eager to buy ice-cream from the author in a snowstorm wa
43、s that _.（分数：2.00）A.ice-cream was still good in bad weatherB.ice-cream was the only thing available in townC.it was convenient to buy it right outside their homesD.it was admirable to eat ice-cream in bad weather九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you
44、 must know how to identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in agreement with their point of view. Depending on whom you are speaking to, the problem will
45、be different. If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the funny methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to talk about their fool bosses.Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses meeting, of a story which works well because t
46、he audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is sudden
47、ly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushed to the head of the line, seizes his food and sits at a table by himself. “Who is it?“ the new arrival asked St. Peter. “Oh, thats God,“ came the reply, “but sometimes he thinks hes a doctor.“If you are part of the group which you are addressing, y
48、ou will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and itll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about inedible canteen food or the chairmans bad taste in ties. With other audience, you will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats (替罪羊) like
49、 the Post Office or the Bank.If you feel embarrassed being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and spontaneous remarks in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often its the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark.（分数：10.00）(1).To make your humor work, you should _.（分数：2.00）A.take advantage of different kinds of audienceB.make fun o
