根据上文可知,研究发现左撇子更独立,浏览下文可知接下来文章主要讲的是左撇子的一些有趣的事情,全文是总—分的结构,由此推知,空处承上启下。E项“Here
are
a
few
more
fascinating
left-handed
people
facts!”承接上文,引出下文,符合上下文语境。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ2.G
根据本段标题“More
likely
to
have
allergies
and
sleep
disorders”可知,本段主要讲的是左撇子更容易过敏和有睡眠障碍。根据空前“A
study
found
that
left-handed
people
were
11
times
more
likely
to
suffer
from
allergies
than
right-handed
folk.”可知,此处讲的是左撇子更容易患过敏症,所以可以推断接下来应该讲的是睡眠障碍问题。G项“And
lefties
were
two
and
a
half
times
more
likely
to
suffer
from
sleep
disorders.”指出了左撇子更容易患有睡眠障碍,符合上下文语境。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ3.C
根据本段小标题“Left-handed
people
use
the
right
side
of
the
brain
the
most”可知,本段主要讲的是左撇子更多地使用右脑。根据空后“meaning
that
the
right
side
controls
the
left
side
of
the
body
and
the
other
way
around”可知此处是在对左右脑的交叉控制这一事实进行解释,所以空处应该指出大脑是交叉控制的这一事实。C项“As
we
know,the
brain
is
cross-wired,”符合上下文语境。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ4.D
根据本段小标题“Are
left-handed
people
smarter?”可知,本段主要围绕着左撇子是不是更聪明来展开。根据空后内容可知,关于左撇子的智商问题,不同日期的研究结果是不一样的。空处位于段首,应是对全段的概括,所以空处应该讲关于左撇子是不是更聪明这个问题的答案与消息来源的日期有关。D项“This
one
varies
depending
on
how
dated
your
source
is!”既回答了小标题的提问,同时也概括了全段,而且D项中的This
one指代小标题的问题,符合上下文语境。5.A
根据本部分内容可知,左撇子在解决问题时更倾向于整体解决问题。空处为本段小标题,所以空处应该讲的是左撇子的另外一个有趣的事实——更善于把问题看作一个整体来解决。A项“Better
at
multitasking”指出左撇子善于处理多项任务,符合上下文语境。故选A项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣⅢ.语法填空Thestonelioniscarvedoutofstone,1.

考查关系代词。句中先行词为stone
lion,在非限制性定语从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导。2.safety
考查词性转换。根据并列连词and后名词luck可知,用名词形式作宾语。故填safety。3.was
introduced
考查动词的时态和语态。根据时间状语in
the
Han
Dynasty可知,用一般过去时。主语the
lion为单数,与introduce之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。故填was
introduced。4.a
考查冠词。名词figure为可数名词,泛指,且mythical发音为辅音音素开头,故填a。5.as
考查介词。take...as...把……当作……。故填as。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ6.refe
