Site of the Editorial Department ofNew Youth Revolutionary magazineNew Youth,which created the New Culture Movement and spread the influence of the May Fourth Movement,was established by Chen Duxiu

was the birthplace of the Communist Party of China?A.Former Site of the Editorial Department,of New Youth.B.Former Residence of Chen Wangdao.C.HuangpuWharf.D.The Memorial of the Site of the First National Congress of the CPC.B 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 worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones?Scientists now know that a persons 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 persons 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 doesnt 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 dont have to.4.After studying works of art made at different times in history,the scientists found _.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 5.What is the left hand for most people used to do?A.Its used to find or hold things.B.Its used to work with things.C.Its used to make a persons eyes work together.D.Its the centre for thinking and doing problems.6.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?A.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.B.Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C.Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D.Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.7.The best title for this passage is _.A.Scientists New Inventions B.Left-handed People C.Which Hand D.Different Brains,Different Hands C The Nez Perce Indians are a tribe that lived in the Pacific Northwest of theUnited States.At the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition(探险队),which was one of the first journeys by Americans from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and back again,the Nez Perce territory(领土)covered about 17 million acres,covering parts of Washington,Oregon,and Idaho.Butthat was a brief sweet history.In September 1805,when Lewis and Clark came off theRockieson their westward journey,the entire exploring party was hungry and ill-too weak to defend themselves.Had the Nez Perce chosen to attack them,they could have put an end to the Lewis and Clark expedition there on the banks ofClearwater River.Instead the Nez Perce welcomed the white Americans and looked after them until they made a full recovery.Thus began a long friendship between the Nez Perce and white Americans.But white mens greed for land and gold finally broke the friendship.In 1855 Governor Isaac Stevens ofWashingtonTerritoryinvited the Nez Perce to a peace conference.He said there were a great many white people in the country,and many more would come.But the Chief of the tribe at that time,Old Joseph,replied,“Take away your paper.I will not touch it with my hand.”Things were quiet for a while after that,but not for long.When Old Joseph died,the chiefship was passed onto Young Joseph.In the late 1870s,government officials came to order the Nez Perce to leave theWallowaValleyand then began hard battles between the Nez Perce and the white soldiers.After the tribe had fought thirteen battles and moved 1,600 miles to-wards Canada in an attempt to retreat(撤退)north,Young Joseph,gave in to the United States Army.Here was his famous statement,“Hear me my chiefs.I am tired;my heart is sick and sad.From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.”In 1885,Chief Joseph was sent along with manyof his band to the Colville Reservation inWashingtonwhere Joseph continued to lead his band for another 25 years,at times coming into conflict with the leaders of 11 other tribes living on the reservation.(保留地，居留地)8.What isTRUEabout the Lewis andClark expedition?A.They were well cared for by the Nez Perce.B.They ended their expedition on the banks ofClearwater River.C.They started the first

Monday if any places hosting events of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics declare a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic during the games,the events will continue to beheld but without spectators(观众).With one month to go before the games are due to begin on July 23,Suga is again showing his administrations determination to hold the Olympic Games as planned,despite so much pressure from various parties urging it tocancel the event.Although the Japanese government regards the Tokyo Olympics as an important opportunity to improve its soft power,the Japanese peoples enthusiasm for the Games has been continuously dented(挫伤)since they were postponed last year.The resurgence(再猖獗)of the novel coronavirus in some places is Japan in recent months has cast a shadow over peoples confidence that the Olympics will not give rise to new clusters(群)of infections,and there are fears that the Games will provide new channels for the virus global transmission.Some torchbearers from Japan have withdrawn from the Olympic torch relay in the country.And the latest survey indicates only 34 percent of Japanese people support holding the games as scheduled.Predictably,the Suga administration will do all it can to try to ensure the games go ahead.But it remains to be seen whether it can stand the tests of the uncertainties related to epidemic prevention and control that might happen during the Games.Since it has not yet got the virus under control at home,the people have reasons to question is ability to deal with the prevention and control work when large numbers of participants will be flocking to Japan from around the world in a short time.It is to be hoped that Japan can draw lessons from the organization of epidemic prevention and control work during the ongoing UEFA European Championship,carry out strict epidemic prevention and control measures,and be prepared for emergencies to guarantee the safety and success of the Olympics at this special time.It should be a common wish of the whole world that the Tokyo Olympics can become a stage showing unity and resolve of human beings in their fight against the virus.That willendowthe games with special meaning beyond sports.12.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.The virus global transmission.B.People worry about the infections.C.The resurgence of the novel coronavirus.D.The benefit of holding the Tokyo Olympics.13.How do about one third of Japanese people like holding the games as planned?A.Uncertain.B.Negative.C.Approving.D.Indifferent.14.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word“endow”in the last paragraph?A.Compare.B.Equip.C.Provide.D.Charge.15.What can be the best title for the news report?A.Japan can ensure Olympics go ahead B.Olympics big test for Japanese government C.Japanese peoples enthusiasm for the Games D.Japan to carry out strict epidemic prevention during the Games 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
