Two neuroscientists sugg

23、est that social pressures drive individuals to coordinate their behaviors so that everyone in the group gets an evolutionary edge. Approximately 85 percent of people prefer their right hand, which is controlled by the left hemisphere of the brain. One theorized benefit of locating a particular funct

24、ion in one hemisphere is that it frees the other to deal with different tasks. But that idea does not explain why population-wide trends for handedness exist in the first place. Moreover, evidence gleaned in recent years has overturned the long-held belief that human handedness is a unique by-produc

25、t of brain specialization attributable to language. A suite of studies has revealed brain lateralization in species from fish to primates (灵长类 ). Last August, for instance, scientists discovered that in the wild, chimpanzees show hand preferences. The presence of lateralization throughout the animal

26、 kingdom suggests some benefit from it, contend neuroscientists Giorgio Vallortigara and Lesley Rogers. Also, last August, in the journal Behavioral and Brain Sciences, the two presented evidence to support their idea that social constraints force individuals toward asymmetry in the same direction.

27、They noted, for example, that baby chickens attack more readily when a threat appears on their left. 31 Fish school suggests that_. （ A） it was a necessary evolutionary process （ B） it has something to do with human right-handedness （ C） they need to coordinate with other fish （ D） their brain funct

28、ion is unique 32 Locating a particular function in one hemisphere_. （ A） does not explain why handedness is such an overwhelming trend （ B） does not explain why 85% people are right-handed （ C） shows that human handedness is a unique toy product of brain （ D） enables people to think with the other h

29、emisphere 33 Due to_, human handedness is not an exclusive phenomenon in animal world. （ A） brain lateralization found in species from fish to primates （ B） different brain structures of species （ C） brain specialization attributable to language （ D） the asymmetrical brains of chimpanzees 34 Why are

30、 baby chickens so prepared in fighting against enemies from left? （ A） Because other members stand on the right side. （ B） Due to surrounding conditions their brain developed toward asymmetry in the same direction. （ C） Because enemies always attack from left side. （ D） Because they can spare more a

31、ttention to locate predator. 35 Which of the following is the best title for this passage? （ A） Human Handedness and Animal Lateralization （ B） Hand Preference of Chimpanzees （ C） The Myth Behind Human Handedness （ D） A Unique Animal Behavior 35 When I saw the notice “Women film extras wanted“ in a

32、local newspaper, I jumped at the chance. Since childhood, I had dreamt of being a film star. The casting interview went well, and two days later I was told that I had been chosen. I was to lose some of my enthusiasm for the idea, however extras are often left in the dark for some time as to which ro

33、le they will play. Finally, the nature of my role was revealed; I was asked to play a mental hospital patient. Despite my disappointment, I agreed to participate. Then, barely a week later, the day of filming dawned. An 13 of us extras, mainly housewives, were driven to an old hospital. The coffee a

34、nd tea they served us looked and tasted like cement. Then we were rushed off to make-up. My hair was pinned back and make-up was applied that gave me a pale appearance. Then we just sat in a minibus for a few hours, as the cameras rolled elsewhere. After the second hour had passed I was becoming bor

35、ed. I bet stars are never treated like this, I thought. I had expected to be so busy that I hadnt come prepared for a long wait. Many of the others had brought a book or knitting. Three hours had now passed. Then at last we were called to do our scenes. When the director came in, we were instructed

36、where to stand and what to do. Along with a few others, I was told to sit at a table and weave baskets. This was not an easy task. The cane (藤条 ) we had to use was very long. On several occasions my basket fell apart in front of my very eyes. On others I only succeeded in hitting a cameraman in the

37、eye. Life for the other extras was far from easy. Jean, who was barefoot, had to circle the floor. Poor Alice was asked to pretend to bang her head against the wall. Meanwhile, Veronica swept the floor. Thankfully, after just a few attempts, the scenes were done. And so my first taste of this “glori

38、ous“ career was over. Although I found the experience quite interesting, my first screen role will almost certainly be my last. 36 The word “extras“ used in this story means people who_. （ A） play unimportant parts in a film （ B） have little experience of acting （ C） pretend to be film stars （ D） ne

39、ed a part-time job 37 According to the story, which of the following statements is true about the author? （ A） She understood clearly that most film stars used to be extras. （ B） She didnt refuse the role assigned to her although she didnt like it. （ C） Unlike other women who were reading or knittin

40、g, she was busy with her scene. （ D） The only thing she did well was to use the cane as a weapon. 38 Alice, one of the 13 women extras, was probably playing the role of_. （ A） a doctor working in the mental hospital （ B） a nurse who was helping her patients （ C） another patient with mental problem （

41、 D） another housewife busy with her work 39 For the author, the first experience of acting in a film was_. （ A） almost all adventure （ B） a real nightmare （ C） very inspiring （ D） quite unpleasant 40 The best title for this story could be_. （ A） In Fashion （ B） On Camera （ C） A Fancy Dream （ D） A Gr

42、eat Career 40 Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids (小行星 ) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists. Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids (流星 ) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and dont threaten us.

43、But there are also thousands whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth. Buy $ 40 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $ 10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, well have a way to cha

44、nge its course. Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldnt be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 1) How likely the event is;2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big eno

45、ugh to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 400,000 years. Sounds pretty rarebut if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we dont take care of these big asteroids, theyll take care of us,“ says one scientist. “Its that simple.“ The cure, though, might be worse than the di

46、sease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday (毁灭性的 ) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,“ said a New York Times article. 41 What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids? （ A） They are heavenly bo

47、dies different in composition. （ B） They are heavenly bodies similar in nature. （ C） There are more asteroids than meteoroids. （ D） Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids. 42 What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth? （ A） It is very unlikely but the danger exists.

48、（ B） Such a collision might occur once every 25 years. （ C） Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected. （ D） Its still too early to say whether such a collision might occur. 43 What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of aster

49、oids? （ A） It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem. （ B） It may create more problems than it might solve. （ C） It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely. （ D） Further research should be done before it is proved applicable. 44 We can conclude from the passage that_. （ A） while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destro
