【題目】閱讀下面的短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

D

Most people around the world are“righthanded”. This also seems to be true in history. In 1979, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1500 B．C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are righthanded so the scientist guessed that righthandedness has always been common through history. Today, about 10% of 15% of the world's population is lefthanded.

Why are there more righthanded people than lefthanded 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 hand 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 and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be lefthanded, and studies have found that lefthandedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs. No one really knows what makes a person become righthanded instead of lefthanded. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become lefthanded 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 lefthanded.

One idea is that people usually get righthanded from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因)for righthandedness, he/she may become either righthanded or lefthanded according to the chance and the people they work or live with. Though righthandedness is more common than lefthandedness, people no longer think lefthanded people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, lefthanded children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don't have to.

【1】After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found________.

A．the art began from 1500 B．C.

B．the works of art ended in 1950s

C．most people shown in the works of art are righthanded

A．No one really knows what makes a person become righthanded.

B．Lefthandedness is cleverer than righthandedness.

C．Today children are not made to use their right hands only.

D．Scientists think there must be some reason why people become lefthanded

【題目】Danielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research time before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.

She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times bestseller for 381 weeks straight.

【題目】A

The Sahara Festival is a celebration of the very recent past. The threeday event is not fixed to the same dates each year, but generally takes place in November or December. It is well attended by tourists, but even better attended by locals.

During the opening ceremonies, after the official greetings from the government leaders, people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands, and white camels transport their riders across the stands. Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful clothes and their fine horsemanship. One following another, groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turn to show off their wonderful culture. Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns and best drums as they dance in different designs. On their knees in the sand, a group of women in long dark dresses dance with their hair：their long, dark, shiny hair is thrown back and forth in the wind to the rhythm of their dance.

The local and visiting Indian dogs are anxious to run after hares. The crowd is on its feet for the camel races. Camels and riders run far into the distance, and then return to the finish line in front of the cheering people.

Towards the evening, there comes the grand finale of the opening day, an extremely exciting horserace. All the riders run very fast on horseback. Some riders hang off the side of their saddles. Some even ride upside down—heir legs and feet straight up in the air—all at full speed. Others rush down the course together, men arm in arm, on different horses. On and on they went. So fast and so wonderful!

A．has a very long history in North Africa
