【语篇解读】本文是说明文。讲述了左撇子和右撇子的不同。

【答案】16.B17.F18.D19.C20.A

16.［解析］根据前文“Tounderstandleft-handedness,itisnecessarytolookatthebrain.（要

了解左撇子，有必要研究一下大脑）“以及后文"Inmostright-handers,therighthemisphere（半

球）controlshowtheyunderstandbroad,generalideasandhowtheyrespondtothefivesenses一

sight,hearing,smell,taste,andtouch.Thelefthemisphereisthecenteroflanguageandlogical

thinking4在大多数右撇子中，右脑控制着他们如何理解广泛的、一般的想法，以及他们如何

对五种感官——视觉、听觉、嗅觉、味觉和触觉做出反应。左半球是语言和逻辑思维的中心）”

可知，把大脑分成了两部分去研究，所以B项“Thebrainisdividedintotwohemispheres.（大脑

分为两个半球）”符合文意，承接上文，并总领下文。故选B项。

17.［解析］根据前文“Thelefthemisphereisthecenteroflanguageandlogicalthinking.（左

半球是语言和逻辑思维的中心）”可知，F项“Thisiswheretheydotheirmathproblemsand

memorizevocabulary.（这是他们做数学题和记忆词汇的地方）”是对前句的总结，符合文意。故

选F项。

18.【解析】根据前文“Bothsidesofthebodyreceivethesameinformationfromthebrain

becausebothhemispheresareconnected』身体的两侧从大脑接收到相同的信息，因为两个半球

是相连的）“以及后文"Inleft-handedpeople,itistherighthemispherethatisstronger.（左撇子的

右半球更强）”可知，D项“However,inright-handedpeople,lefthemisphereisstronger.（然而,右

撇子的左脑半球更强）”和前文构成转折关系，且结构和后文相同，符合文意。故选D项。

19.【解析】根据前文“Differenthandednesscausesdifferencesinpeople.Althoughtheleft

hemispherecontrolslanguageinright-handers,40%ofleft-handershavethelanguagecenterinthe

righthemisphere.Theother60%usetheleftsideofthebrainorbothsidesforlanguage.（不同的惯

用手导致人与人之间的差异。虽然右撇子的左脑半球控制语言，但40%的左撇子的语言中枢

位于右脑半球。另外60%的人使用左脑或左右脑来处理语言）”以及后文“Theyarealsomore

likelythanright-handerstoenjoyswimmingunderwaterbecauseleft-handerscanadjustmoreeasily

toseeingunderwater.（他们也比右撇子更喜欢在水下游泳，因为左撇子更容易适应水下）”可知，

本段主要讲述了不同的惯用手导致人与人之间的差异，以及左撇子的优点，所以C项“Left­

handersaremorelikelytohavegoodimaginations.（左撇子更有可能拥有丰富的想象力）“符合文

意，讲述了左撇子的优点，且句子结构和后句相同。故选C项。

20.［解析］根据前文"Areyouleft-handedeventhoughyouwritewithyourrighthand?（即

使你用右手写字，你也是左撇子吗?）”以及后文"Ifyoudrawthecirclesclockwise（thedirection

thehandsofaclockgoin）,youareprobablyleft-handed.Ifyoudrawthemcounterclockwise（in

theotherdirection）,youareright-handed.Thetestdoesnotalwayswork,andsomepeopledraw

onecircleinonedirectionandtheothercircleintheotherdirection^先用一只手画一个圆圈，然

后用另一只手。如果你顺时针画圆圈（时钟指针的方向），你可能是左撇子。如果你逆时针（在

另一个方向）画它们，你是右撇子。这个测试并不总是有效，有些人在一个方向上画一个圆

圈，在另一个方向上画一个圆圈）”可知，前句问怎么判断左撇子，后句介绍了一种测试方法，

所以A项“Takethistesttofindout.（做这个测试来找出答案吧）”符合文意，其中test为同词复

现。故选A项。

第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）

第一节完形填空（共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分）

阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白

处的最佳选项。
