Hands play an important part in our daily life. But do you know which of your two hands you use more? Very few people use both hands equally well. Most of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their hands, but in about two years they usually use their right hands. Scientists don't know why this happens.
Monkeys are our close relatives in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand. There are as many right-handed monkeys as left-handed ones. Next time you visit a zoo, watch the monkeys carefully, you will see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands. But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people. We live in a right-handed world.

(1)、How many people among 100 people use their left hands better?

A、5%.  B、50%.  C、95%. 
(2)、What's the meaning of the underlined word “equally” in Chinese?

A、公正地  B、均等地 C、平凡地
(3)、New-born babies can use  ____  ____ __.

A、both of their hands  B、neither of their hands C、their right hands
(4)、Which of the following is true?

A、There are more monkeys using their right hands than left hands.  B、There are more monkeys using their left hands than right hands.  C、There are as many right-handed monkeys as left-handed ones. 
(5)、“We live in a right-handed world. ”means ____ ____ __.

A、  Most people use their right hands better.  B、Few people use their right hands better.  C、Half of the people use their right hands better.

    It's important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:

    Reduce

    If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely(明智地). A larger number of trees are cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we will not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to use things wisely.

    Reuse

    You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them away. For example, you can give your clothes you do not wear any more to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.

    Recycle

    Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By recycling them we save lots of time and money. For example, Coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat (压平) and melted(融化) and the metal things are made for new Coke cans.

    Recover(恢复)

    When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten(腐烂的) apples, you have two choices(选择): One is to throw the whole apples away, or you can cut off the rotten parts and keep the good parts. In the way, you are recovering the eatable(能吃的) parts of food.

    Repair

    If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.

请阅读下面材料, 从每小题所给的A、B、C 三个选项中, 选出一个最佳选项。

It's well-known that silk was discovered in China. It's wonderfully strong, light and soft. As one of the best materials for clothes, silk has a perfect look and feel that no other materials can match. 

There is a story about how silk was discovered. Lei Zu, the wife of Huang Di, was having tea under a mulberry tree when a silkworm cocoon(蚕茧)fell into her cup. As she tried to take the cocoon out, it started to unwind(展开)and the "line" seemed endless. She realized that the strong line could be used to make clothes. Then Lei Zu taught her people how to raise silkworms and how to get silk In this way, the silk industry was born. 

For hundreds of years after that, silk was only used by rich people. It was a symbol of identity and status(身份和地位). With the development of the silk industry, more silk was produced. It was no longer just for rich people. In the Han Dynasty, silk was transported as far away as Spain, Rome and many other counties. The trade road was famously known as the Silk Road, which connected China with the rest of the world

Today, silk can be used for many kinds of things, not just for clothes, bus also for paintings, writing brushes, kites and even fishing nets. Wherever silk goes around the world, it is always warmly received.

What would life be like if you were a rocker, a soccer player, a professor(教授)at Stanford University, and a Nobel Prize winner? Carolyn Bertozzi from the US lives such a cool life!

Bertozzi, 56, wins this year's Nobel Prize in chemistry and becomes this year's only female(女性) winner in science and the eighth female to receive the chemistry prize in history.

Bertozzi won the prize for studying the sugar coats of cells(细胞). She has found a smart way to connect cells together. This finding helps to develop better tests for serious diseases like cancer.

However, Bertozzi said she only fell in love with chemistry until her second year at Harvard University."Most of my classmates thought the class was very difficult. But I liked it a lot because in my eyes the problems were challenging even though it usually took me long hours to solve them."

Besides doing science studies, Bertozzi has lived a colorful life. She was a keyboarder in a rock band and she also played soccer, winning an athletic scholarship from Harvard.

Moreover, Bertozzi never forgets her job as a female scientist. "In the late 1980s, only 10 percent of the students were females," she told Chemical & Engineering News. "There were maybe only one or two females in a lab, so we tried to support each other by starting a monthly get-together. Now, I'm so glad to see more and more females taking part in science." In 2022, Bertozzi won an award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science for her work to increase diversity(性别多元)in science.

 My name is Henry Adams. When I was 27, I worked in San Francisco. One Saturday afternoon, I sailed my little boat but a strong wind pushed my boat into the Pacific Ocean. Luckily, I was saved by a British ship heading to London.

I had only one dollar when I arrived in I ondon. I was tired and hungry. At that moment, the window of a nearby house opened and a man said to me," Come in here, please."I was taken to a beautiful room. There were two old gentlemen discussing something.      ①     

 The two gentlemen were brothers.      ②      One brother said, " If an honest and clever stranger arrives in London without friends and money, except for a £1,00,000 bank note, he will starve to death. If he goes to the bank to change this big note, the police will think he stole it and arrest(逮捕) him." The other brother answered,‘ No,I disagree."

 The two gentlemen decided to end their argument with a be t(赌约).      ③      They chose me because I had an honest, clever face. Also,I was a stranger to England. One of them gave me an envelope and told me not to open it until I was in my hotel room.

     ④      After leaving the house, I opened the envelope and saw money inside of it! I rushed to the nearest restaurant. After eating, I tried to pay with the money but discovered that it was a bank note worth five million dollars! It made my head swim. No one could possibly cash(兑现金) it. The owner said," You can pay for the meal whenever you want, sir. I understand that you are a rich gentleman. You like playing jokes on people by dressing like a poor man."

I quickly returned to the house but was told that they had left on a trip. Then I remembered the letter inside the envelope. It said, " In this envelope you will find some money. It is yours for only 30 days. At the end of that time, return to this house. We have a be t on you." How strange!

 Then, I entered a clothes store to buy a cheap suit. When I showed the owner the bank note, he was angry since the salesman sold me such terrible suit.
