Two neuroscientists suggest that social pressures

18、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 function in one hemisphere is t

19、hat 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-product of brain specialization

20、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 kingdom suggests some bene

21、fit from it, contend neuroscientists Giorgio Vallortigara and Lesley Rogers.

27、t 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 role they will play. Finally,

28、 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 and tea they served us looke

29、d 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 bored. I bet stars are never t

30、reated 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 where to stand and what to

31、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 eye. Life for the other extra

32、s 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 “glorious“ career was over. Althoug

33、h I found the experience quite interesting, my first screen role will almost certainly be my last. 26 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） need a part-time job 27 Accordi

36、th her work 29 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 30 The best title for this story could be_. （ A） In Fashion （ B） On Camera （ C） A Fancy Dream （ D） A Great Career 30 Unless we spend

37、 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. But there are also thousands whos

38、e 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 change its course. Some scientists f

39、avor 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 enough to destroy lots of life might

40、strike Earth once every 400,000 years. Sounds pretty rare but 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 disease. Do we really want fleets

41、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. 31 What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids? （ A） They are heavenly bodies different in composition. （ B

42、） They are heavenly bodies similar in nature. （ C） There are more asteroids than meteoroids. （ D） Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids. 32 What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth? （ A） It is very unlikely but the danger exists. （ B） Such a collision might occur

43、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. 33 What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids? （ A） It sounds practical but

44、 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. 34 We can conclude from the passage that_. （ A） while pu

45、shing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world （ B） asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future （ C） the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime （ D） workable solutions still have

46、to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth 35 Which of the following best describes the authors tone in this passage? （ A） Optimistic. （ B） Critical. （ C） Objective. （ D） Arbitrary. 35 Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends,

47、 neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity(长寿 )boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Fair, who wrote that widows and widowers(鳏夫 )were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studi

48、es since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womans. The effect holds for all causes of death whether illness, accident or self-harm. Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chic

49、ago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt smoke. Theres a flip side, however , as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouses death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with som
