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。 |

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.

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.
