(D)
Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world's population is left-handed.
Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person's hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.
No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene (基因) for right-handedness he/she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.
Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.
11. What did the scientists find after studying works of art made at different times in history
A. The art began from 1,500 B.C.
B. The works of art ended in the 1950s.
C. Most people shown in the works of art are right-handed.
D. Most people shown in the works of art are left-handed.
12. How many people in the world are left-handed now
A. About 10%-15%. B. About 50%. C. About 40%. D. The passage doesn’t tell us.
13. What is the left hand for most people used to do
A. It’s used to work with things:
B. It’s used to find or hold things.
C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.
D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.
14. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.
B. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.
C. No one really knows what makes e person become right-handed.
D. Scientists think there mast be some reason why people become left-handed.
15. The best tittle for this passage is __________.
A. Scientists’ New Inventions. B. Left-handed People
C. How Brains Control Hands D. Which Hand
【文章大意】文章围绕人们惯用右手还是左手这一现象展开探讨。科学家通过研究不同时期的艺术作品发现，多数作品中的人物是右撇子，如今世界上约 10% - 15% 的人是左撇子。科学家指出人的两只手各有其功能，这与大脑两侧的不同分工有关。至于人为何惯用右手或左手，虽有部分因出生时大脑受损导致左撇子的情况，但具体原因仍不明确，可能还与基因及环境有关。如今，人们不再觉得左撇子奇怪，左撇子儿童也无需被迫使用右手。

Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world's population is left-handed.
Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person's hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.
No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene (基因) for right-handedness he/she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.
Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.
11. What did the scientists find after studying works of art made at different times in history
A. The art began from 1,500 B.C.
B. The works of art ended in the 1950s.
C. Most people shown in the works of art are right-handed.
D. Most people shown in the works of art are left-handed.
12. How many people in the world are left-handed now
A. About 10%-15%. B. About 50%. C. About 40%. D. The passage doesn’t tell us.
13. What is the left hand for most people used to do
A. It’s used to work with things:
B. It’s used to find or hold things.
C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.
D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.
14. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.
B. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.
C. No one really knows what makes e person become right-handed.
D. Scientists think there mast be some reason why people become left-handed.
15. The best tittle for this passage is __________.
A. Scientists’ New Inventions. B. Left-handed People
