21、If you are left-handed, you may be familiar with difficulties like eating next to a right-handed person or playing video games. It’s easy to feel alone—just 12 percent of the world’s population are left-handed, and twice as many men as women are. But don’t worry: you may have more in common with another animal—the kangaroo.

A study has suggested that wild kangaroos prefer to use their left hands for common tasks like grooming(梳洗)and feeding according to the BBC. The researchers say this is the first time that “handedness(偏手倾向) has been found in animals. The evidence comes from hours spent studying different animals in the wild.

The research confirmed for the first time that “we are not alone in the Universe; we are two humans and kangaroos”. The team also suggested that their discovery is an example of “parallel evolution(平行进化). This is because handedness seems to have appeared in primates(灵长类动物)as well as the kangaroo.

And animals with hands aren’t the only ones who prefer the left or right side. Oxtore University researchers have also discovered that crows(乌鸦) can be right- or left-beaked. A report showed that the birds prefer a particular side on which to hold sticks when using them to poke insects out of holes.

This is not the only piece of good news for left-handed people. It’s reported that left-handers make especially good baseball players, tennis players, swimmers, boxers and fencers(击剑运动员). Almost 40 percent of the top tennis players are left-handed, including Rafael Nadal, who has won 17 grand slam titles.

Five of the seven most recent US presidents have also been left-handed—Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

There are plenty of reasons to be excited if you’re left-handed. Who knows what’s next for you, or kangaroos?

【1】The first paragraph is written mainly to ________.

A．describe the difficulties facing left-handed people

B．show the general situation of left-handedness

C．lead in to the topic of kangaroos’ handedness

D．show that there’s no need to worry if you’re left-handed

【2】Paragraphs 5-6 mainly talk about ________.

A．successful people who are left-handed

B．the advantages that left-handed people can enjoy

C．advice for left-handers on their career development

D．reasons why left-handers do well in some fields

【3】According to the passage, what does the writer think of left-handed people?

A．Good.

B．Bad.

C．We don’t know.

D．Left-handed people are hard to get great achievements.

22、        Many people are involved (卷入) in car accidents every year in the United States. Here are things you should do if you are one of these unlucky people.

　　The most important thing is to stay calm (镇静). Call the police and report the accident. If you are involved in a car accident, try to get the driver’s license plate (车牌). If you’re hurt, call 911 or ask someone else to do so. If you can move, check on the other people in your car. If your car is safe to drive, pull it to the side of the road.

　　It is important to call the police so that the police can write a police report. Most insurance companies (保险公司) won’t pay for the accident if there isn’t a police report.

　　Be ready to give your right place when you call so that the police can find you easily.

　　While you are waiting for the police to arrive, take notes of what happened. Write down all the information about the cars or bikes. Write down the names of everyone in the accident. If possible, take pictures of the scene (现场) of the accident.

　　When the police arrive, tell them what happened and give them all the information you got about the driver of the other car or the rider of the bike.

【1】What is the most important thing when you are in an accident?

23、

It’s very important for us students to learn about the environment. Many good books will help you learn. You can ask your teacher or a librarian for some advice. You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate (气候) change. Climate change may be a big problem, but we can do many things to improve it.

Driving a car or using electricity (电) is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by carpooling. For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we will put some gases (气体) into the air. Turning off lights, the television and the computer when they aren’t needed, you can help a lot.

Don’t buy products that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These don’t have much pollution either. Products like computers, TVs and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label (标签) are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment.

Buy recyclable (可回收) products instead of non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark (记号) on the package (包装)—three arrows (箭头) that make a circle (圈). The less energy we use, the better.

【1】The passage is mainly written for ________.

A．parents

D．recyclable products are marked with the label◎

【4】Why should we buy recyclable products?

A．Because they are cheap.

B．Because they are not used.

A．suggestions of using cars

24、阅读短文，每空一词。

Fifty-three years ago, Barbie dolls first appeared (出现) in the world of toys. Since then, Barbie doll has become the most successful toy doll in h【1】. Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.

However, Barbie is facing some problems at p【2】. There are many simple dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life thirteen years ago. She looks more l【3】 today’s pop stars with heavy makeup(浓妆) and miniskirts, and her company offers more kinds of clothes too.

It seems that Barbie has lost her magic a【4】 older girls. “For younger girls, p【5】 with Barbie is much fun. But when you get o【6】 you want something smarter and more modern.” says Vera Stepherd, a shop assistant in a New York toy store.

It is good news that on the i【7】 market Barbie is still No. 1. Although(尽管) Mattel is selling f【8】 Barbies in the United States these years, sales(销售) in other countries are still going up. In March, 2009, Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even d【9】 clothes for their own Barbies.

Mattel is p【10】 big celebrations for Barbie’s 53rd birthday. How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls? It is hard to say, but 53 is surely not the age to retire(退休).
