Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man?No one knows. This mystery(谜) has puzzled(困惑) the wor ld for years.In 1887, a mountain climber found large footprints (脚印) in the snow. They looked like the footprints of a very large m an. But men don’t walk without shoes in the snow.In 1906, another climber saw more footprints. Far off, he saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As he watched, i t ran very quickly.Fifteen years later, newspapers had new stories about the ‘something’. A mountain climber said he had seen the ‘snow m an’ walk slowly across the snow, far below him. He said it look ed like a very large man.From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of large footprints. The pictures showed clearly that the Snow man walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey. C ould it be an ape(猿) man?The mystery grew! And the mystery keeps growing. Someda y we may find out just what it is that makes the large footprin ts.41. The passage is about_________.A. some mountain climbersB. some strange animalsC. some large footprintsD. the mystery of the Snowman42. Why were people interested in footprints?A. They were footprints of a large bear.B. They looked like the footprints of a large man.C. They were found in the snow.D. They were found in the world’s tallest mou ntains.43.

Why did the mystery grow when a mountain climber broug ht back pictures of large foot-prints?A. They were footprints of an ape man.B. They were footprints of a Snowman.C. The pictures showed clearly how the Snowman walked.D. The pictures showed clearly how an ape man walked ontwo legs.45. Since a mountain climber first found the large footprints inthe snow,the mystery of the Snowman has puzzled the world for _______years.A. one hundred and fourteenB. ninety-fiveC. eightyD. fiftyDMost people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1997, scientists studied works (作品) of art made at different times from 15,000 B.C. to the 1 950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that righthandedness 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 thin gs. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain (大脑). The right side of the brain, which makes a perso n’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The l eftside of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that mo re artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that lef t-handedness is twice as common among artists than among peo ple in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-h anded instead of left-handed.Scientists have found that almost40% of the people become left-handed because their main brai n is damaged (损害) when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason (原因), 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 ma y become either right or left-handed according to the chance (偶然性) and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than lefthanded ness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or u nusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.46. After studying works of art made at different times in histo ry, the scientists found____________.A. the art began from 1 500B.C.B. the words 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-handed47. How many people in the world are left-handed now?A. Less than one sixth.B. More than a half.C. About 40 %.D. The passage doesn’t tell us.48. What is the left 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.49. According to (根据) 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.50. The best title (题目) foe this passage is___________.A.Scientists’ New InventionsB.Left-handed PeopleC.Which HandD.Different Brain, Different Hands.四、词汇。
