  Which of your two hands do you use more? (1) of us can use both hands equally(相同的)well. (2) of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New born babies can take hold of things with (3) of their hands, but after about two years, they (4) use their right hands. Scientists don't know why this happens. Monkeys are our closest relatives(近亲) in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than (5) , but it can be either hand. There are as many right-handed monkeys as there are left-handed ones. Next time when you visit a zoo, watch the monkeys carefully, and you will see that (6) of them will use their right hands (7) others will use their left hands. But most of people use their right hands (8) and this makes life difficult for those left-handed persons. We live in a right handed world.

解析:

  这篇短文讲述了人类使用左手和右手的两种不同习惯。文中多处用到some, either, both, another, the other. 这些词的用法和辨析是英语考试中的经典考题。

  1.根据上下文意思,应选B.意思是“没有几个人能左右手用得一样好”。

  2.根据上下文意思推测,应选A,意思是“我们大多数人习惯使用右手。”

  3.在原句中either强调的是“新生婴儿能用两只手的任何一只拿东西。”而用both,则意思变为“用双手拿东西”,显然不符合题意。

  7.这里用and而不用but,因为前后两句从意义上讲是并列。

One afternoon, my son Adam asked me, “Are all people the same even if they are different in color?”    I thought for a while, and then I said, “I’ll explain,  31 you can just wait until we make a quick stop at the grocery store. I have something interesting to show you.”

   At the grocery store, we 32 some apples—red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Adam, “It’s time to  33 your question.” I put one apple of each type on the table. Then I looked at Adam, who had a  34 look on his face.

“People are like apples. They come in all  35 colors, shapes and sizes. On the  36 , some of the apples may not  37 look as delicious as the others.” As I was talking, Adam was  38 each one carefully.   Then, I took each of the apples and peeled them,  39 them back on the table, but  40 a different place.

  “Okay, Adam, tell me which is which.”

  He said, “I  41 tell. They all look the same now.” “Take a bite of  42 . See if that helps you decide which one is which.”

  He took big bites, and then a huge smile came across his face. “People are  43  like apples! They are all different, but once you  44 the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside.”

   He totally  45 it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else.

As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can’t see fish  26 in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink.

Recently, a new lifestyle called low carbon life is  27 every comer of our country. The meanings of low carbon are  28 energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can’t wait 29 my ideas on how to promote it.

First,we should  30 a no-car day every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy.  31 the no-car day, neither students  32 teachers are allowed to drive to school. At the same time,just walk or run. Use our  33 and enjoy the fun.

Second, we had better not use plastic bags  34 . No one can stand the “white pollution”,  35 it is wise to use cloth bags which can  36 again and again.

37 ,one thing  38 we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from the small details. So, as students, we ought to turn  39 the lights the moment we leave, use 40 sides of the paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.


All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these:no-car days, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let’s do it now.
