小題1:B 空格所在的句子意為“很少有人能同樣熟練地使用兩只手!眅ither表示兩者中任何一個(gè),all指三者以上的全部,都不合文意。如果選two,則是two of our hands ,言外之意是人類有三只或三只以上的手,也應(yīng)排除。
小題1:D out of為固定搭配,意為“從(若干)中,(若干)里頭有”。此句意為“每百人中有五人”。
小題1:A 根據(jù)第一個(gè)空格的解所,可排除選項(xiàng)C和D。neither表示“兩者都不”,而該句意為“新生兒能用任何一只手抓握物體”,只有either合題意。
小題1:C 由轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but判斷,后一句是對(duì)前一句的否定,即不再任意用一只手,而是改為固定地用一只手。而前文又交代了多數(shù)人習(xí)慣用右手,故填right.
小題1:B 上文講述的是兒童生理發(fā)展過程中的兩種現(xiàn)象,具有普遍性,用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。
小題1:D 人、猴近親是常識(shí)。close作形容詞,表示“距離或關(guān)系”的接近或親近。
小題1:A 猴也有兩只手,表示“兩者中的另—個(gè)”用the other.
小題1:B 本空應(yīng)是指代前面的 monkeys , 不僅指“猴子”,還應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù),因此只能選B。
小題1:C 表示“觀察,注視”用watch。
小題1:D 句子意為“大多數(shù)人習(xí)慣于用右手,這也給左撇子們的生活帶來不便!

I used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy. My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. An airhostess would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to traveling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport. While we were waiting to land, an airhostess told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we learned that there was a very important person on board. The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly(被徹底搜查). Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.

I have never taken cooking classes. I learned cooking from my mother because she was really interested in teaching me how to cook. The main reason for this was because when my mother got married, she didn’t know how to cook anything, not even an egg. My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she was cooking.
My mother did not start to cook until she was 25 years old. In the beginning, it was very hard for her. So, she had to take cooking classes to prepare(準(zhǔn)備) our meals. After having that experience, she decided to teach me how to cook because she didn’t want me to have the same experience.
I remember when I was seven years old, and my mother was cooking, I was with her in the kitchen enjoying cooking. I always helped her. Sometimes we prepared meals that my mother already knew how to make, and sometimes we prepared them from recipes. Nowadays, I am really thankful for that experience because I don’t need help to cook a meal. I can cook for me alone or for a group of people; it doesn’t matter.
I will do the same with my children because I don’t want them to have the same experience as my mother. If one day I am not with them, I want to be sure that they can carry on their lives without me.  
小題1: The writer’s mother learned cooking _______.
A. from the writer’s grandmother
B. all by herself
C. by taking cooking class
小題2:The underlined word recipes in this passage most probably means _______.
A. instructions on how to cook food
B. experiences of cooking food
C. some well-known cooks
小題3:We can learn from the passage that the writer’s children will _______.
A. hate cooking
B. learn cooking
C. teach cooking
小題4: The writer must think cooking is _______ to learn in life.

小題5:According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. the writer’s mother didn’t know how to cook anything but an egg.
B. the writer’s mother started to cook after 25 years old.
C. the writer’s mother taught the writer how to cook because she disliked cooking.

Today was not a good day. Everything went wrong. First, I slept late and Mom shouted at me to wake up. When I went to the kitchen for breakfast, there was no cereal. I decided to have some toast instead, but I burned it. I had to eat it anyway because there was no more bread. The juice bottle was empty, so I had a glass of cold water.
When I was getting on a bus, I realized that I had forgotten my wallet, so I had to go back home to get it.
Of course, I missed the bus and had to wait for the next.
