Left
The word"lefty"means a person who uses his or her left hand for writing,eating and other jobs.
We are born with two hands:a right hand and a left one.But only about ten or fifteen percent of us are lefties.Everyone else is right-handed.They use their right hands much more than their left.
Scientists do not know why there are so many more right-handed people than lefties.
Some very famous people have been left-handed.Alexander the Great was a lefty.So was the great French king Charlemagne.Other famous lefties in history include Leonardo da Vinci,Michelangelo,Napoleon and Queen Victoria of Britain.In the twentieth century,famous lefties include American President Gerald Ford,tennis player Martina Navratilova,singer Paul McCartney,and the great Brazilian football player,Pele.
These people demonstrate that lefties are just as intelligent and talented as the right-handed majority.However,lefties have had a difficult time throughout history.The Roman word for left,for example,was the same word used to describe someone who was evil or untrustworthy.
The German word for left,"linkisch",also means someone who was unskilled.The French word,"gauche",can also mean a person who does not know how to act socially.In Spanish,the word for left is"a zurdas".It means the wrong way.And in Italian,the word"mancino"can also mean someone who is dishonest.
The Greek language is one of the few to give the word"left"a good meaning.The Greek word"aristera means both"left"and"the best".
An organization in the United States,Lefthanders International,is campaigning to give lefties their rights.Are you a lefty?If so,you should be proud!
16.All lefties are more diligent than right-handed people.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
17.The word"left"is given bad meanings in all languages.

19.Most famous people are left-handed.

More Exercise
1.Physical fitness is the result of many factors–good medical and dental care,proper nutrition,adequate rest and relaxation,and sensible personal habits.But these are never enough.An essential factor is regular physical activity–exercise for a body that needs it to function well.
2.All of us know that ordinary movements–things like running,jumping,and bending–are made by muscles.Muscles also do many other things.They suck air into your lungs,push food along your digestive tract,and tighten your blood vessels to raise blood pressure when you need more pressure for an emergency.Your heart is a muscular pump.
3.When your muscles are not used,or are not used enough,they do not develop and grow properly.They soon become flabby and weak,shrink in size,and lose the ability to do the jobs they were meant to do.
4.Recent studies showed that the average high school student spends fifteen to thirty hours a week watching television and only two hours a week in organized play or exercise.That is one reason why one-third of the 200,000 pupils tested for the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness failed a simple test of strength,stamina,and flexibility.Some of the boys and girls could not raise themselves to a sitting position without using their hands!
5.Cars and buses,elevators and escalators,TV and push-button machines all tend to reduce strenuous physical activity.But our bodies still need exercise.Without it they soon become weak,ineffective,and unattractive.

第4部分：阅读理解(第31～45题，每题3分，共45分)
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。
第一篇
Computer
There is no denying that students should learn something about how computers work,just as we expect them at least to understand that the internal combustion engine(内燃机)has something to do with burning fuel,expanding gases and pistons(活塞)being driven.For people should have some basic idea of how the things that they use do what they do.Further,students might be helped by a course that considers the computers impact on society.But that is not what is meant by computer literacy.For computer literacy is not a form of literacy(读写能力);it is a trade skill that should not be taught as a liberal art.
Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two distinct activities.A case might be made that the competent citizens of tomorrow should free themselves from their fear of computers.But this is quite different from saying that all ought to know how to program one.Leave that to people who have chosen programming as a career.While programming can be lots of fun,and while our society needs some people who are experts at it,the same is true of auto repair and violin-making.
Learning how to use a computer is not that difficult,and it gets easier all the time as programs become more"user-friendly".Let us assume that in the future everyone is going to have to know how to use a computer to be a competent citizen.What does the phrase"learning to use a computer"mean?It sounds like"learning to drive a car",that is,it sounds as if there is some set of definite skills that,once acquired,enable one to use a computer.
In fact,"learning to use a computer"is much more like"learning to play a game",but learning the rules of one game may not help you play a second game,whose roles may not be the same.There is no such a thing as teaching someone how to use a computer.One can only teach people to use this or that program and generally that is easily accomplished.
31.To be the competent citizens of tomorrow,people should
A.try to lay a solid foundation in computer science.
B.be aware of how the things that they use do what they do.
C.learn to use a computer by acquiring a certain set of skills.
D.understand that programming a computer is more essential than repairing a car.
32.In the second paragraph"violin-making"is mentioned to show that
A.programming a computer is as interesting as making a violin.
B.our society needs experts in different fields.
C.violin-making requires as much skill as computer programming.
D.people who can use a computer dont necessarily have to know computer programming.
33.Learning to use a computer is getting easier all the time because
A.programs are becoming less complicated.
B.programs are designed to be convenient to users.
C.programming is becoming easier and easier.
D.programs are becoming readily available to computer users.
34.According to the author,the phrase"learning to use a computer"(Para.3.)means learning
A.a set of rules.
B.the fundamentals of computer science.
C.specific programs.
D.general principles of programming.
35.The authors purpose in writing this passage is
A.to stress the impact of the computer on society.
B.to explain the concept of the computer literacy.
C.to illustrate the requirements for being competent citizens of tomorrow.
D.to emphasize that computer programming is an interesting and challenging job.
第二篇
The Process of Growing
There are two basic ways to see growth:one as a product,the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or product that can easily be identified and measured.The worker who gets a promotion,the student whose grades improve,the foreigner who learns a new language–all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast,the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the day.The process is not the road itself,but rather the attitudes and feelings people have,their caution or courage,as they encounter new experiences and unexpected obstacles.In this process,the journey never really ends;there are always new ways to experience the world,new ideas to try,new challenges to accept.
In order to grow,to travel new roads,people need to have a willingness to take risks,to confront the unknown,and to accept the possibility that they may"fail"at first.How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow.
Do we perceive ourselves as quick and curious?If so,then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think were shy and indecisive?Then our sense of timidity can cause us to hesitate,to move slowly,and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe.Do we think were slow to adapt to change or that were not smart enough to cope with a new challenge?Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feeling of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.If we do not confront and overcome these internal fears and doubts,if we protect ourselves too much,then we cease to grow.We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.
36.A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when
A.he has given up his smoking habit.
B.he has made great efforts in his work.
C.he is keen on learning anything new.
D.he has tried to determine where he is on his journey.
37.In the authors eyes,one who views personal growth as a process would
A.succeed in climbing up the social ladder.
B.judge his ability to grow from his own achievements.
C.face difficulties and take up challenges.
D.aim high and reach his goal each time.
38.When the author says"a new way of being"(Para.3.),he is referring to
A.a new approach to experiencing the world.
B.a new way of taking risks.
C.a new method of perceiving ourselves.
D.a new system of adapting change.
39."These feelings"(Para.5.)don’t include
A.whether we see ourselves as smart.
B.whether we see ourselves as timid.
C.whether we see ourselves as aggressive.
D.whether we see ourselves as ready.
40.For personal growth,the author advocates all of the following EXCEPT
A.curiosity about more chances.
B.promptness in self-adaptation.
C.open-mindedness to new experiences.
D.voidance of internal fears and doubts.
第三篇
The Importance of Imagination
It is pleasant to lie on the glass on a spring day and gaze up at the clouds,seeing in them first a face,then an animal,then another object and another.In these reveries we are doing one of the famous experiments carried on in the psychological laboratory.There the person taking the test must look not at clouds but at ink blots(污渍)like those pictured here and write down,within a given time,as many as possible of the things he sees.It is imagination that enables one to see things not actually in the inkblot or the cloud.
Thinking,when it concerns objects or events outside our personal experience,is imagination.Sometimes imagination is defined as the making of new combinations of old experiences.Even the writer of the most fantastic tales puts elements of past experience into his characters.Though he may write about one-eyed monsters,three-legged men or Lilliputians,his characters throughout are made of elements that we all know.Eyes,legs,smallness are not new.It is only the combination that is new.
Imagination plays an important part in the kind of thinking which solves a practical problem.The fancies,which enable an Edison to give the world an electric light,represent imagination brought into control and made to work to a useful end.
In almost any line of endeavor,imagination of the kind which gets results is necessary.It is made up of two factors.First is the ability to think of new combinations of experiences.Second is the ability to select those combinations that are best.The person who has only the first of these is a flounder and a failure.The person who can criticize but cannot strike out new ideas is equally handicapped.Modern scientific method added the third requisite–experiment or test to answer the question"will it work"?All progress man achieves depends on how he applies and profits from the use of these processes.
41.In a psychological laboratory,a person can
A.gaze up at clouds
B.see a face and an animal
C.write down many things
D.lie on the grass
42.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?
A.Thinking sometimes can mean imagination.
B.Thinking is imagination.
C.Imagination enables a person to see things actually.
D.Imagination enables a writer to have old experiences.
43.According to the author,a writers success depends on his
A.characters
B.personal experience
C.thinking
D.imagination
44.A flounder refers to a person who is
A.unable to think of new combinations of experiences,but able to select the best
combinations
B.able to think of new combinations of experiences but unable to select the best
combinations
C.unable to select the best combinations
D.able to select the best combinations
45.It can be inferred from the passage that
A.experiments about imagination cannot be made in a psychological laboratory
B.application of experiments plays an important part in mans progress
C.the two factors of imagination can be separated from each other
D.it is necessary for a scientist to solve a practical problem

In order to grow,to travel new roads,people need to have a willingness to take risks,to confront the unknown,and to accept the possibility that they may"fail"at first.How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow.
Do we perceive ourselves as quick and curious?If so,then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think were shy and indecisive?Then our sense of timidity can cause us to hesitate,to move slowly,and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe.Do we think were slow to adapt to change or that were not smart enough to cope with a new challenge?Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feeling of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.If we do not confront and overcome these internal fears and doubts,if we protect ourselves too much,then we cease to grow.We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.

The Importance of Imagination
It is pleasant to lie on the glass on a spring day and gaze up at the clouds,seeing in them first a face,then an animal,then another object and another.In these reveries we are doing one of the famous experiments carried on in the psychological laboratory.There the person taking the test must look not at clouds but at ink blots(污渍)like those pictured here and write down,within a given time,as many as possible of the things he sees.It is imagination that enables one to see things not actually in the inkblot or the cloud.
Thinking,when it concerns objects or events outside our personal experience,is imagination.Sometimes imagination is defined as the making of new combinations of old experiences.Even the writer of the most fantastic tales puts elements of past experience into his characters.Though he may write about one-eyed monsters,three-legged men or Lilliputians,his characters throughout are made of elements that we all know.Eyes,legs,smallness are not new.It is only the combination that is new.
Imagination plays an important part in the kind of thinking which solves a practical problem.The fancies,which enable an Edison to give the world an electric light,represent imagination brought into control and made to work to a useful end.
In almost any line of endeavor,imagination of the kind which gets results is necessary.It is made up of two factors.First is the ability to think of new combinations of experiences.Second is the ability to select those combinations that are best.The person who has only the first of these is a flounder and a failure.The person who can criticize but cannot strike out new ideas is equally handicapped.Modern scientific method added the third requisite–experiment or test to answer the question"will it work"?All progress man achieves depends on how he applies and profits from the use of these processes.
