Pham Minh Dap and his brother are providing the students with mostly free English and Japanese lessons at a learning center they created. The men want to help people who would not normally have a chance to learn a foreign language.Some education experts in Vietnam say such knowledge may help college graduates get jobs. The countrys economy has improved. But many graduates continue to have a hard time finding employment. Local media reported ten percent of university graduates do not have a job. Earlier this year, 24-year-old Pham Minh Dap and his brother established a school they call “Stand By You”. Volunteers teach poor students English and Japanese. Many classes are free. Students with some language knowledge pay 25 to 50 cents per class. Mr. Dap pays about $ 500 to rent the language center space and for other costs. He gives about $ 150 from his earnings as a street Vendor and private language teaching. His brother gives the same amount from the money he earns as a secretary. Friends provide the rest. Mr. Dap and many of his family members have sold things outside HoaBinh Park in the center of Vietnams capital for five years. They come from a village of rice farmers in Thanh Hoa Province.Twenty-four-year-old Pham THi Trang is one of 600 students at the language school. She is finishing her university studies.

Chris McManus, professor of psychology and medical education at University College London, responds;“If by intelligent you mean someone who performs better on IQ tests, the simply answer is no. Studies in the U.K., U. S. and Australia have revealed that left-handed people differ from right-handers by only one IQ point, which is not noteworthy.” Left-handedness is, however, much more common among individuals with severe learning difficulties. A slightly higher proportion of left-handers have a stutter(口吃). Other problems, such as a higher rate of accidents reported in left-handers, mostly result from a world designed for the convenience of right-handers, with many tools not made for the left-handed.However, if by smarter you mean more talented in certain areas, left-handers may have an advantage. Left-handers brains are structured differently from right-handers in ways that can allow them to process language, relations and emotions in more diverse and creative ways. Also, a slightly larger number of left-handers than right-handers are especially gifted in music and maths. A study of musicians in professional orchestras（管弦乐队）found a greater proportion of talented left-handers, even among those who played instruments that seem designed for right-handers, such as violins. Similarly, studies of adolescents who took tests to assess mathematical ability found many more left-handers in the population. The fact that mathematicians are often musical may not be a coincidence.For other talents and skills, the benefits of being left-handed are less clear. In one-on-one competitive sports, being in the minority can be an advantage. For example, most right-handed tennis players have little experience of playing left-handers, but left-handers have plenty of experience of playing right-handers.Whatever the advantages are, handedness seems to be genetic. With 10 percent of people preferring their left hand, there must be some selective advantages, or else the genes would probably not survive.28. 【小题1】The underlined word, “noteworthy”, in the second paragraph, probably means“_”. A. remarkable B. convincing C. helpful D. beneficial29.【小题2】 What is one of the characteristics of left-handed people? A. They have a much higher IQ than right-handed people. B. They have an obvious advantage in tennis. C. They are more likely to be talented in certain fields. D. They usually dont have learning difficulties.30. 【小题3】We can learn_ from the passage. A. right-handers have a higher rate of accidents. B. most right-handed tennis players are good at playing left-handers. C. left-handers can sometimes be more gifted in music and maths than right-handers. D. left-handers brains process language in the same way as right-handers.31. 【小题4】You are most likely to find this passage in the _ section of a magazine.A. travel and entertainment B. gene and health.C. fashion and trends D. health and lifestyle【答案】28.【小题1】A29.【小题2】C30.【小题3】C31.【小题4】B【解析】试题分析：文章讲述了惯用左手的人比惯用右手的人聪明吗?本文给我们做出了解释。28.【小题1】A词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的句子可知研究发现惯左手的人比惯用右手的人在智力上只差1分这一点是不显著的，故noteworthy 和remarkable意思相近。29.【小题2】C细节理解题。根据文章第四段中However, if by smarter you mean more talented in certain areas, left-handers may have an advantage. 可知惯用左手的人可能在某一特地的领域有优势。30. 【小题3】C推理判断题。本文主要讨论了惯用左手的人是否比惯用右手的人在音乐盒数学方面更有天赋。故选C。31.【小题4】B推理判断题。本文主要讨论了惯用左手的人是否比惯用右手的人聪明，应该是出自杂志的基因和健康栏目。【名师点睛】 阅读理解有时理解文章的长难句是关键，理解不了这些句子很难理解文章的大意。下面我们分析一下这篇文章中的长句。句子1：Studies in the U.K., U. S. and Australia have revealed that left-handed people differ from right-handers by only one IQ point, which is not noteworthy.本句that引导宾语从句，在宾语从句中又包含一个非限制性定语从句。句意：在英国、美国和澳大利亚的研究表明：惯左手的人比惯用右手的人在智力上只差1分，这一点是不显著的。句子2：Other problems, such as a higher rate of accidents reported in left-handers, mostly result from a world designed for the convenience of right-handers, with many tools not made for the left-handed.此处such as a higher rate of accidents reported in left-handers是插入语，介词短语with many tools not made for the left-handed.作原因状语。其他的问题，比如，惯用左手的人出现意外事故的几率高一些，常常是因为我们很多工具是为惯用右手的人设计的，很多工具不是为惯用左手的人设计的。句子3：With 10 percent of people preferring their left hand, there must be some selective advantages, or else the genes would probably not survive.此句中又with的复合结构with+名词+现在分词的形式，表原因。包含一个there be句型。句意：因为10%的人喜欢用左手，所以一定存在一些选择性的优势，否则，这些基因就可能不存在了。句子4：Similarly, studies of adolescents who took tests to assess mathematical ability found many more left-handers in the population. 此句中who引导一个定语从句。句意：相似的是，对通过数学能力考试的青少年的研究发现，惯用左手的人多得多。考点：考查科普说明文阅读【结束】D【题文】No one not even its creators-thought that the world would care about the interwoven(相互交织的)lives, loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and witty New Yorkers. But theres no doubt that Friends(老友记)has become more than just a successful situation comedyit has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century. Along the way, it has made its half-dozen lead actors famous.Looking back the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each others apartments and at Greenwich Villages Central Perk coffee house, Friends was created by television producers, David Crane and Marta Kauffman. In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright. Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers. What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffmans after-college years, when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each others lives.It didnt take long for viewers to make friends with Friends. The sitcom quickly became a top ten hit. Critics loved it as well. Entertainment Weekly said the show operate like a Broadway show, with twisty plots and unique jokes. The television theme song has also been a success with the public. The songs success helped save the television theme song. An ABC(美国广播公司)executive was ready to order very short music intros(前奏) on his networks shows, thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started. But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind-remote controls or not, the TV theme song would stay.Years have gone by, but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern day US sitcom that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short o a genuine latter-day social phenomenon.32. 【小题1】What is stressed in the second paragraph?

He/she has a reserved attitude towards its success. D. He/she shows great affection towards it .【答案】32.【小题1】A33.【小题2】D34.【小题3】C35.【小题4】D【解析】试题分析：本文讲述了美国老友记的幕后故事极其深远的影响。32.【小题1】A判断推理题。根据文章第二段追述了美剧老友记得以面世的根源。故选A。33.【小题2】D判断推理题。根据文章第二段的 In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright. Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers.可知老友记诞生于二十世纪九十年代。34.【小题3】C判断推理题。根据文章第三段的An ABC executive was ready to order very short music intros(前奏) on his networks shows, thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started. But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind. 可知美国广播公司公司曾经准备用很短的音乐前奏替换掉美剧前面的片头曲，但是老友记主题曲的成功让他改变了主意。35.【小题4】D作者态度题。作者通篇都在讲述老友记的深远影响，字里行间体现了作者对于这部美剧的喜爱。考点：考查记叙文阅读理解【结束】第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）【题文】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。In the past few years, many people found themselves trying really hard to hold on to jobs that they may not have wanted.
