people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using puters. We will read texts on small pocket puters. The puters will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(計(jì)算機(jī)化) books will be used more and more.Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go in to shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our puters.

B??v讀全文(特別是開(kāi)頭的兩句)可知,計(jì)算機(jī)與我們的生活息息相關(guān),所以說(shuō)…puters are the future。 (5) milk and foods made from milk。1. A。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,不同的國(guó)家和地區(qū),人們進(jìn)食的方法也不一樣。所以C項(xiàng)說(shuō)法是錯(cuò)誤的。(3)Most people around the world are righthanded. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 . to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are righthanded, so the scientists guessed that righthandedness has always been mon through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is lefthanded.Why are there more righthanded people than lefthanded 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 leftside of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be lefthanded, and studies have found that lefthandedness is twice as mon among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person bee righthanded instead of lefthanded. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people bee lefthanded 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 bee lefthanded. One idea is that people usually get righthanded from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for righthandedness, he / she may bee either righthanded or lefthanded according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though righthandedness is more mon than lefthandedness, people no longer think lefthanded people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, lefthanded children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.1. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found _______.A. the art began from 1,500 .B. the works of art ended in the 1950sC. most people shown in the works of art are righthandedD. most people shown in the works of art are lefthanded2. How many people in the world are lefthanded now?A. Less than one sixth. B. More than a half.C. About 40%. D. The passage doesn’t tell us.3. 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.C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a person bee righthanded.B. Lefthandedness is cleverer than righthandedness.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people bee lefthanded.5. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Scientists’ New Inventions B. Lefthanded PeopleC. Which Hand D. Different Brains, Different Hands 【答案與解析】本文主要說(shuō)明了為什么有的人習(xí)慣用右手,有的人習(xí)慣用左手。2. A。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,慣用左手的人比慣用右手的人聰明是沒(méi)有依據(jù)的。(4)“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 feel 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 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 “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In 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 o
