They were all lefthanded, along with other famous people including Brad Pitt Prince William, and Barack Obama. In fact, an estimated 13 percent of the world39。s population may be lefthanded and still most people around the world are righthanded. What makes a person bee righthanded rather than lefthanded? As yet no one really knows for sure. One simple idea suggests that people normally get righthandedness from their parents. Studies have found that two righthanded parents have only a percent chance of having a lefthanded child, whereas two lefthanded parents have a 26 percent chance of having a lefthanded child. Another mon theory is that lefthanded people suffer mild brain damage during birth, which makes them lefthanded. However, if this theory were true, it would not explain why the percentage of leftbanded people is so similar in every society, when birth conditions vary so much from society to society. Whatever the reasons behind it, people39。s attitudes toward lefthandedness have changed a lot over the years. Statistics show that although 13 percent of young people (1020 years old) are lefthanded, only 6 percent of the elderly are lefthanded. Lefthanded children used to be punished until they began using their right hand like other children, but today people who are lefthanded are no longer looked down on nor are they considered abnormal. For most people today, either case is perfectly acceptable.（1）What makes one righthanded? A.The environment.B.Mild brain damage during birth.C.The reason is uncertain.D.Other people.（2）Why is the number of young people who are lefthanded bigger than that of the elderly? A.Because the elderly are forced to bee righthanded.B.Because lefthanded people are considered abnormal.C.Because lefthandedness can be cured.D.Because the young are easily damaged.（3）What does the text mainly talk about? A.Lefthanded people are looked down upon.B.General facts about lefthanded people.C.Some famous lefthanded people.D.The reasons why people are lefthanded.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，關(guān)于左撇子現(xiàn)象作者進(jìn)行了介紹和說明。（1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。第二段中講了很多右手的使用比左手平常的可能性原因，根據(jù)” As yet no one really knows for sure.”可知，雖然對于右手的使用比左手更為普遍這一現(xiàn)象有不同猜測，但是原因不明。故選C。（2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段“Statistics show that although 13 percent of young people (1020 years old) are lefthanded, only 6 percent of the elderly are lefthanded.

Later, KFC announced that no evidence had been found to support the story. This phenomenon is largely a product of the increasing pressure in newsrooms that care more about traffic figures. Brooke Binkowski, an editor, says that she has seen a shift towards less responsibility in newsrooms. Clickbait is king, so newsrooms will uncritically print something unreal. Not all newsrooms are like this, but a lot of them are. Asked what the driving factor was, a journalist said, You39。ve a strict editor and you39。ve to meet your targets. And some young journalists are inexperienced and will not do those checks. So much news reported online happens online. There is no need to get out and knock on someone39。s door. You just sit at your desk and do it. Another journalist says, More clicks equal more money. At my former employer in particular, the pressure was due to the limited resources. That made the environment quite horrible to work in. In a Feb. 2015 report for Digital Journalism, Craig Silverman wrote, Today the bar for what is worth giving attention to seems to be much lower. Within minutes or hours, a badly sourced report can be changed into a story that is repeated by dozens of news websites, resulting in tens of thousands of shares. The rumor bees true for readers simply by virtue of its ubiquity. And, despite the direction that some newsrooms seem to be heading in, a critical eye is being more, not less important, according to the New York Times39。 public editor, Margaret Sullivan. Reporters and editors have to be more careful than ever before. It39。s extremely important to question and to prove before publication. Yet those working in newsrooms talk of doubtful stories being tolerated. In the words of some senior editors, a click is a click, regardless of the advantage of a story. And, if the story does turn out to be false, it39。s simply a chance for another bite at the cherry.（1）According to Brooke Binkowski, newsrooms produce false news because _________. count a lot are limited are tight lack experience（2）What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably mean? can39。t sell without something related to the truth. are like a flame blown by the wind. people are easy to cheat by the false news online. lie will end up as truth, if repeated oft
