left-handershavethelanguagecenterintherighthemisphere.Theother60%usetheleftsideofthebrainorbothsidesforlanguage.(不同的惯用手导致人与人之间的差异。虽然右撇子的左脑半球控制语言，但40%的左撇子的语言中枢位于右脑半球。另外60%的人使用左脑或左右脑来处理语言)”以及后文“Theyarealsomorelikelythanright-handerstoenjoyswimmingunderwaterbecauseleft-handerscanadjustmoreeasilytoseeingunderwater.(他们也比右撇子更喜欢在水下游泳，因为左撇子更容易适应水下)”可知，本段主要讲述了不同的惯用手导致人与人之间的差异，以及左撇子的优点，所以C项“Left-handersaremorelikelytohavegoodimaginations.(左撇子更有可能拥有丰富的想象力)”符合文意，讲述了左撇子的优点，且句子结构和后句相同。故选C项。20．【解析】根据前文“Areyouleft-handedeventhoughyouwritewithyourrighthand?(即使你用右手写字，你也是左撇子吗?)”以及后文“Ifyoudrawthecirclesclockwise(thedirectionthehandsofaclockgoin),youareprobablyleft-handed.Ifyoudrawthemcounterclockwise(intheotherdirection),youareright-handed.Thetestdoesnotalwayswork,andsomepeopledrawonecircleinonedirectionandtheothercircleintheotherdirection.(先用一只手画一个圆圈，然后用另一只手。如果你顺时针画圆圈(时钟指针的方向)，你可能是左撇子。如果你逆时针(在另一个方向)画它们，你是右撇子。这个测试并不总是有效，有些人在一个方向上画一个圆圈，在另一个方向上画一个圆圈)”可知，前句问怎么判断左撇子，后句介绍了一种测试方法，所以A项“Takethistesttofindout.(做这个测试来找出答案吧)”符合文意，其中test为同词复现。故选A项。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。BradyCampbell,6,ofStapleton,Coloradohasbeensellinglemonade(柠檬水)outsidehishome.Muchtohisbuyers’surprise,theylearnedhe’sdoingitto___21___moneysohecantakehis___22___onadate.Theyounggentleman,whohaslosthisdadtocancer(癌症),hassince___23___theheartsofmanyinthecommunity.This6-year-oldkidrecentlygotlotsof___24___andrespectnotonlyfromhislocal___25___butalsofromnetizens(网友)everywhere.SowhatmakesBradyso___26___?Accordingtoareport,thelittleboy,likemostkidshisage,is___27___lemonadeoutsidetheirhome.Hispurposeforsellingthesummerdrink,___28___,iswhatmakeshimdifferentfromotherchildren—he’sinfact___29___toraisesomemoneysohecangooutonadatewithhismother.Apoliceofficer___30___acupoffreshlemonadefromBradyandlater___31___abouthisstory.Soonafter,thiscustomerusedhisradiotogetintouchwithhisworkmatesinthearea,___32___themaboutBrady.Becauseofthat___33___,newsspreadatonce.Membersofthecommunityalsoshowedtheir___34___forBrady’smoney-raisingprojectandhehasbecomeahitafterhis___35___caughttheattentionofseveralnewsstationsandmanynetizens.21.A.borrow
