18、ine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 20 Ask why most people are right-handed, and the answer might fall along the same lines as why fish school(鱼成群地游 ). Two neuroscientists suggest that social pressures drive individuals to coordinate their behaviors so that everyone in the group gets an evolutionary edge. App
19、roximately 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 that it frees the other to deal with different tasks. But that idea does not explain why population-wide tren
20、ds 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 attributable to language. A suite of studies has revealed brain lateralization in species from fish to prima
21、tes(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 benefit from it, contend neuroscientists Giorgio Vallortigara and Lesley Rogers. Also, last August, in the journ
22、al Behavioral and Brain Sciences, the two presented evidence to support their idea that social constraints force individuals toward asymmetry in the same direction. They noted, for example, that baby chickens attack more readily when a threat appears on their left. 21 Fish school suggests that_. （ A
23、） 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 function is unique 22 Locating a particular function in one hemisphere_. （ A） does not explain why handedness is such an overwhelming trend

S. onli
28、ne service. “But the greatest potential for public participation is still in the future,“ Steven Case, Chairman of America Online, told a recent meeting on Journalism and the Internet sponsored by the Freedom Forum(讨论会 ). However, some other experts often say the new technology of computers is chang
29、ing the face of journalism, giving reporters access to more information and their readers a chance to ask questions and turn to different sources. “You dont have to buy a newspaper and be confined to the four corners of that paper any more,“ Sam Meddis, online technology editor at USA Today, observe
30、d about the variety of information available to computer users. But the experts noted the easy access to the Internet also means anyone can post information for others to see. “Anyone can say anything they want, whether its right or wrong,“ said Case. Readers have to determine for themselves who to
31、trust. “ In a world of almost infinite voices, respected journalists and respected brand names will probably become more important, not less,“ Case said. “ The Internet today is about where radio was 80 years ago, or television 50 years ago or cable 25 years ago,“ he said. But it is growing rapidly
32、because it provides people fast access to news and a chance to comment on it. 26 The main topic of this passage is_. （ A） the development of journalism （ B） the rapid development of the Internet （ C） the effect the Internet has on journalism （ D） the advantages of the Internet 27 It can be inferred
33、from this passage that the fact that_may NOT be regarded as an advantage of the Internet. （ A） the news can be made more democratic （ B） the public can turn to different sources （ C） the public can get a chance to ask questions （ D） anything can be posted on the Internet for others to see 28 The cor

36、ut many advantages to human being EXCEPT(that)_. （ A） improvement of the degree of democracy （ B） common people have more chances to participate （ C） more information can be available （ D） using more right information than wrong ones 30 You hear this: “No wonder you are fat. All you ever do is eatin
37、g. “ You feel sad, “I skip my breakfast and supper. I run every morning and evening. What else can I do?“ Basically you can do nothing. Your genes, not your life habits, determine your weight and your body constantly tries to maintain it. How can obese people become normal or even thin through dieti
38、ng? Well, dieting can be effective, but the health costs are tremendous. Jules Hirsch, a research physician at Rockefeller University , did a study of eight fat people. They were given a liquid formula providing 600 calories a day. After more than 10 weeks, the subjects lost 45kg on average. But aft
39、er leaving the hospital, they all regained. The results were surprising: by metabolic measurement, fat people who lost large amounts of weight seemed like they were starving. They had psychiatric problems. They dreamed of food or breaking their diet. They were anxious and depressed: some were suicid
40、al. They hid food in their rooms. Researchers warn that it is possible that weight reduction doesnt result in normal weight, but in an abnormal state resembling that of starved non-obese people. Thin people, however, suffer from the opposite: They have to make a great effort to gain weight. Ethan Si
41、ms, of the University of Vermont, got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight. In four to six months, they ate as much as they could. They succeeded in increasing their weight by 20 to 25 percent. But months after the study ended, they were back to normal weight and stayed there. This did not mean tha
42、t people are completely without hope in controlling their weight. It means that those who tend to be fat will have to constantly battle their genetic inheritance if they want to significantly lower their weight. The findings also provide evidence for something scientists thought was trueeach person
43、has a comfortable weight range. The range might be as much as 9kg. Someone might weigh 60-69kg without too much effort. But going above or below the natural weight range is difficult. The body resists by feeling hungry or full and changing the metabolism to push the weight back to the range it seeks
44、. 31 What determines your weight? （ A） Your working manner. （ B） Your eating habit. （ C） Your life style. （ D） Your genes. 32 What did Jules Hirsch do in his study? （ A） He let the eight fat people skip supper. （ B） He let the eight fat people skip breakfast. （ C） He let the eight fat people run eve
45、ry morning and evening. （ D） He gave the eight fat people a liquid formula providing 600 calories a day. 33 The second paragraph implies that_. （ A） its easier for people to lose weight physically than mentally （ B） due to genes people regained their weight after leaving the hospital （ C） liquid foo
46、d contains enough daily calories would be a good way to lose weight （ D） people who set up their minds to lose weight always cant endure the temptation of food 34 What happened to the eight fat people after they left the hospital? （ A） They went mad. （ B） They killed themselves. （ C） They were back
47、to normal weight. （ D） They attempted suicide. 35 What did Ethan Sims make his subjects do? （ A） Battle their genetic inheritance. （ B） Increase their weight. （ C） Stay at home. （ D） Lower their weight. 35 Top marathon runners tend to be lean and light, star swimmers are long thighs with huge feet a
48、nd gold medal weightlifters are solid blocks of muscle with short arms and legs. So, does your physical shapeand the way your body worksfit you for a particular sport? Or does your body develop a certain way because of your chosen sport? “Its about 55: 45, genes to the environment,“ says Mike Rennie
49、, professor of clinical physiology at Britains University of Nottingham Medical School. Rennie cites the case of identical twins from Germany, one of whom was a long-distance athlete, the other a powerful sportsman, so, “They look quite different, despite being identical twins. “ Someone whos 1. 5 meters tall has little chance of becoming an elite basketball player. Still, being over two meters tall wont automatically push you to Olympic gold. “Unless
