They are all left-handed. Today about 15% of the number of people is left-handed. But why are people left-handed? The answer is the way the brain(大脑) works. The brain has two halves-the right half and the left half. The right half controls(控制) the left side of the body and the left controls the right half of the body.So right-handed people have a strong left brain, and left-handed have a strong right brain. The two halves of the brain are about the same size. But each side controls different things. The left side controls language, maths and logic(逻辑). When you remember new words or when you put things in order, you use your left side. The right side of the brain controls your love of art, colour and music. It is also good at recognizing(认出) faces. This does not mean(意思是) that all artists are left-handed and all accountants(会计师) are right-handed. Some right-handed have a strong right brain, and some left-handed have a strong left brain.（1）From the passage, we know_. A . some right-handers have a strong left brain.B . all accountants are right-handedC . the left side of the brain controls your colour and music.D . all artists are left-handed（2）People are right-handed or left-handed is mostly decided by(被决定)_. A . their parentsB . their mindsC . the way the brain worksD . the way the head works（3）Each side of the brain_. A . likes music and mathsB . controls different thingsC . controls the same thingsD . has two halves（4）When you are singing, you are using your _. A . logic thinkingB . heartC . right brainD . left brain（5）Which part of the body does the right half of the brain control? A . The right side of the body.B . The left side of the body.C . The language.D . The heart.18. （6分）What do you do if youre stranded（处于困境的）on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.Body signals（信号）Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means yes. When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means no. If you want the pilot to know that its safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say that its not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.Smoke signalsThe smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so its a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isnt hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless youre sure that it cant spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.Ground-to-air signalsIts a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you cant find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:F I need food and water.II I need medicine.I I am badly hurt.X I am unable to move from here.Pilots repliesIf the pilot lowers the planes wings from side to side, this means message received and understood. (At night, the pilot flashes the planes green lights.) If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means message received but not understood.(At night, the pilot flashes the planes red lights.)However, there is no signal which means message not received. Why not?（1）Which picture means its not safe land?A . B . C . D . （2）What can we learn from the passage?A . Swinging your arm from side to side means yes.B . If the ground is dark, light smoke cant be seen.C . If you need some medicine, make a symbol II.D . The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.（3）What is the passage mainly about?A . The explanation of building signals on an island.B . The importance of making signals on an island.C . Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.D . Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island19. （6分）阅读理解Keesh lived at the North Pole a long time ago. He was a bright thirteen-year-old boy with a strong, healthy body. His father was a brave man who had died during a food shortage. His father tried to save the lives of his people by fighting a giant polar bear. The meat from the bear kept the people from hunger.Keesh was his only son, and he lived alone with his mother. But people soon forgot how Keeshs father had saved their lives. They were forced to live in the poorest house in the village.One night there was a meeting in the chiefs large house. At that meeting, Keesh showed how much courage he had. He rose to his feet and went on steadily, “Because my father, Bok, brought home more meat than any other hunter, everyone received a fair share, but now my mother and I were given meat filled with bones.” The hunters were shocked to hear a child speak to them that way.Keesh waited calmly until the shouting died down. “My mother has no one except me, and therefore I must speak. My father put his life in danger and died, to offer food to this village.
