But once a joke was played on him.One day Mark Twain was asked to give a talk in a small town. At lunch he met a young man he knew who told him that he had an uncle who never laughed or smiled. The young man told Mark Twain that nobody and nothing could possibly make his uncle smile or laugh.“You bring your uncle to my talk tonight，”said Mark Twain. “I'm sure I can make him laugh.”That evening the young man and his uncle sat in the first row. Mark Twain spoke directly at the old man. He told some rather interesting stories, which made everyone in the hall laugh. But the old man never even smiled. Mark Twain told the most interesting stories he knew. But the old man's face was still a blank. At last Mark Twain stopped. He felt tired and discouraged.Some days later, Mark Twain told a friend of his about what had happened. “Oh，”said his friend, “I know that old man. He has been deaf for years.”24．Which of the following sentences is NOT true?A．Mark Twain could make everyone in the hall laugh except the old man.B．Mark Twain liked to play jokes on others.C．Nobody ever played a joke on Mark Twain.D．Once a young m an played a joke on Mark Twain.25．The young man who Mark Twain met at lunch told him that ________.A．his uncle liked to listen to Mark Twain's talkB．his uncle could not possibly be made to laugh or smileC．his uncle never laughed at peopleD．nobody and nothing could make his uncle stop laughing or smiling 26．Mark Twain told t he young man ________.A．to bring his uncle to lunch B．to ask his uncle to talk there that nightC．he could make his uncle laugh D．to sit in the first row with his uncle 27．Mark Twain's stories made everyone in the hall laugh except ________.A．the old man B．the young manC．Mark Twain himself D．a friend of Mark Twain'sC“Old wives' tales”（老人言） are beliefs passed down from one generation to another. For example, most of us remember our parents' telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some ofthem agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time.Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration（黄斑变性）. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic (蒜) is good for you, too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.Unfortunately, not all of Mom's advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don't hold water , there is still a lot of truth in the old wives' tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated (积累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.28．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Eating garlic is good for our eyes.B. Sticky sweets are damaging to our teeth.C. Swimming after a meal is dangerous.D. Carrots prevent people from catching colds.29．The author develops the third paragraph mainly ________.A. by cause and effectsB. by order in spaceC. by order in timeD. by examples30．The underlined phrase “hold water” in the last paragraph most probably means “________”．A. to be believableB. to be valuableC. to be admirableD. to be stable 31．What is the author's attitude toward “old wives' tales” in the text?A. Subjective（主观的）B. Objective（客观的）C. Dissatisfied.D. Curious.DMost 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 thescientists 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 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.32. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientistsfound _______.A. the art began from 1,500B.C. B. the works of art ended in the 1950sC. most people shown in the works of art are right-handedD. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed33. What is the hand for most people used to do?A. It’s used to find or hold things.B. It’s used to work with things.C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.34. 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.35. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Scientists’ New InventionsB. Left-handed PeopleC. Which HandD. Different Brains, Different Hands第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
