　　Ⅳ.閱讀理解

　　A few famous left－handed persons

　　Bill Gates

　　Claiming the nation’s richest man among their number is a source of considerable pride for America’s society of southpaws (左撇子)．In fact，the Microsoft titan (巨人) and philanthropist (慈善家) is one of a surprising number of U．S.business areas to be left－handed，including Henry Ford，John D．Rockefeller and former IBM head Lou Gerstner.But the club seems to be a guys－only fraternity(聯誼會)．Research suggests that while left－handed men tend to earn more than their right－handed colleagues，there is no similar advantage for women.A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research floated the idea that left－handed men favor “divergent” (發散性) thinking，a form of creativity in which the brain moves “from conventional knowledge into unexplored association”．Maybe that’s what it takes to develop a net worth estimated at least $570 billion.

　　Oprah Winfrey

　　The talk－show queen doesn’t need much more to set her apart from the rest.She has her estimated $2.7 billion fortune and a magic ability to sell books just by glancing at them，but she also has the distinction of being a member of the left－handed club.Men are more likely to be left－handed than women，which makes Oprah more impressive.She’s “in good company”：other showbiz ladies of the southpaw persuasion include Whoopi Goldberg，Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie(her husband Brad Pitt is also a lefty)．

　　Napoleon Bonaparte

　　Legend has it that Napoleon objected to the time－honored military practice of marching on the left side of the road with weapons at the ready in the right hand: it put lefties (左撇子) like him at a strategic disadvantage.Once in power，the story goes，the French emperor，whose queen，Josephine，was also a southpaw，ordered his armies to change sides.Civilians in countries he conquered had to do the same.Hence，it’s said that the rules of the road were born，which also explains why the British (who，along with the Prussians，defeated Napoleon at Waterloo) still drive on the left.

　　Marie Curie

　　Not only was atomic scientist Marie Curie left－handed，but she was the matriarch (女家長) of a whole family of accomplished，southpaw scientists.Curie，who discovered the principles of radioactivity and won two Nobel Prizes，was married to fellow lefty Pierre Curie，who was playing an important part in helping Marie’s atomic research and shared one of her Nobel awards.Historians believed their daughter，Irene，was also left－handed.Irene went on to win a Nobel Prize of her own with her husband，who，you guessed it，was also left－handed.

　　Lefty scientists are hardly unusual.In addition to the Curie clan，Einstein，Newton and Alan Turing—founder of modern computer science were all left－handed as well.

　　41．Through this passage，the author mainly wants to tell us that________.

　　A．Bill Gates’s

　　contribution to society is greater than Marie Curie

　　B．Napoleon Bonaparte made the rules of the road in England

　　C．Oprah Winfrey had nothing but $7 billion fortune at that time

　　D．4 persons were not only successful but all left－handed

　　42．According to the first paragraph，what maybe develop a net worth estimated at least $570 billion?

　　A．Club of southpaw.

　　B．Woman advantage.

　　C．Divergent thinking.

　　D．Conventional knowledge.

　　43．What can we learn from the second paragraph?

　　A．Oprah Winfrey has a special ability to sell books only by glancing at them.

　　B．Oprah Winfrey is completely different from other left－handed women.

　　C．Oprah’s appearance makes her doubly impressive in the left－handed club.

　　D．Oprah Winfrey and her husband are both southpaws.

　　44．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife are both left－handed.

　　B．Marie Curie and her husband are both left－handed.

　　C．Irene，Marie Curie’s daughter，and her husband are left－handed.

　　D．Brad Pitt’s wife，Julia Roberts，is also left－handed.

　　45．The best general idea of the last paragraph is that________.

　　A．not all scientists are left－handed

　　B．lefty scientists are hardly common

　　C．lefty scientists come from the west

　　D．scientists are all left－handed

　　課時作業答案

　　Ⅰ.單項填空

　　1．B　fill in意為“填寫，填充”，with在此處意為“用”。

　　2．C　句意為：他問我們是否支持婦女參與政治活動。in favor of支持；in place of取代；in face of在……面前；in terms of關于。

　　3．D　attempt嘗試；announcement聲明；decision決定；remark評論。由題意“Cook是一個意志堅強的人”可知“他反復嘗試，最后終于成功了”。

　　4．D　a large variety of各種各樣的……。variation變化；變異，此處與語境不符；various各種各樣的；varied多變化的，兩詞不與of連用。

　　5．C　考查非謂語動詞做狀語。在compare...with...結構中，compare與句子主語people in the East之間構成邏輯上的動賓關系，因此應該用其過去分詞形式表被動。

　　6．B　本句中the country life是主語，定語從句he was used to(相當于he got used to，其中to為介詞)修飾先行詞the country life，又因為時間狀語為since 1992，因此用現在完成時。

　　7．A　have difficulty (in) doing sth.這一句型用在由what引導的賓語從句中。

　　8．D　本題考查強調結構以及differ的用法。根據強調結構將A、C排除；根據詞性different為形容詞，不能用做謂語，排除B，故選D。受be different from影響，易誤選B；或沒有掌握強調句式，易誤選A。

　　9．A　句意為：“從她迷惑的表情，我知道Jonna沒有理解你的關于宇宙令人費解的觀點。”第一個空描述她感到迷惑的表情。要用confused；第二個空表示“令人費解的”，要用confusing，故選A。

　　10．A　句意為：“一看到那條嚇人的蛇，那女孩站在那里，一臉驚愕。” look神情，神色；appearance強調“外表、外觀”；expression表情；surface表面。

　　11．A　in favor of支持；贊成；in need需要；in demand需要；in want需要。句意為：有47票支持這項提議，而另外有13人反對它。

　　12．C　本題考查時態辨析。didn’t know表示聽對方講話之前“不知道”；will go表示臨時決定；臨時打算；而be going to表示按事先計劃、安排要干某事。句中體現的是剛得知消息后的臨時打算。

　　13．D　What frightened us是主語從句，was后的that從句是表語從句，that一般不可省略。frighten使害怕；嚇唬。

　　14．B　根據某種跡象可以看出要發生某事常用be going to do sth.結構。

　　15．C　by the time引導的時間狀語從句中用一般現在時表將來，而by the time跟將來時間是將來完成時的時間狀語。

　　Ⅱ.句子翻譯

　　16．They spent two months (in) getting around the world.

　　17．The way I learn is similar to his.

　　18．There is no doubt that too much work and too little rest often lead to illness.

　　19．It makes no difference to me which side will win.

　　20．由于盡心竭力，這才獲得了巨大成功。

　　Ⅲ.完形填空

　　21．A　 一切都井然有序，箱子放在床下，她最好的朋友的照片張貼在墻壁上。此處是介詞with的復合結構。

　　22．D　作者的女兒已經開始上大學，作者注意到這一次事情和以前“不同”，不再是以往的感覺。

　　23．B　根據下一句可知，作者認為女兒在家中的房間已經不屬于“她”了，而屬于作者和他的妻子，因為女兒只是偶爾才回來。

　　24．C　作者舍不得離開自己心愛的女兒，“發覺”自己在回想過去抱著她坐在椅子上的那種幸福感覺。
