第一部分——阅读判断
下面的短文后列出了10个句子，请根据短文的内容对每个句子作出判断：如果该句提供的是正确信息，选择A；如果该句提供的是错误信息，选择B；如果该句的信息文中没有提及，选择C。

The Truth about Left-Handed People

About 90% of people in the world today are right-handed. The other 10% are left-handed, including Obama, the President of the US. Every day, left-handed folks quietly face problems. It could be something as simple as driving a car or using a can opener.
Why are so few of us left-handed? One theory is that handedness (hand preference) could be a result of genetics. Scientists say that there are two genes (基因) associated with handedness. One is the D gene. It is more frequent in the population and promotes (促成) right-hand preference. The other is the C gene. It has the ability to promote a preference for either hand. When the C gene is present, there is a 50% chance that a person could be right- or left-handed.
Another theory has to do with human brains, which are made up of two halves. If the left half is more powerful, then one is most likely right-handed. But with left-handers, it is more complicated. Seventy percent of them are also left-brain dominant (占优势的). The other 30% have right-side dominant brains.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, left-handedness was considered a disability. But not all of the myths about left-handers are bad. One myth suggests that they are more creative and smarter than the right-handers. So far scientific research has yet to find any truth to these claims. In fact, a 2013 survey out of New Zealand found that left-handers and right-handers were the same.
Life might be a little more complicated for left-handers when it comes to cutting a piece of paper or opening a bottle of wine. However, it seems to be a good sign if you are trying to make it to the White House.

The Story of Milton Hershey

Almost every kid in the US has eaten a famous Hershey chocolate bar. But people know that the Hershey chocolate factory is only about 100 years old. Even fewer know that its founder, Milton Hershey, had suffered many failures before he started his famous company.
Milton grew up in the farm country of Pennsylvania. He was first trained to become a printer. After working for a small newspaper for a short time, he decided that printing was not for him. Then he got a job at a candy factory. After a few years, he decided to open his own little candy business. But this first business had to close down because it was not making money. Then, Milton travelled to Denver to learn how to make caramels (黄油奶糖). He took his new skills to New York City and sold candies on the street. But this second business also failed.
Soon afterwards, he moved back to his hometown. There he experimented with all sorts of candies and chocolates. By 1893, he was selling a million dollars' worth of caramel candy each year. Since his chocolate-flavored (巧克力口味的) caramels were the best-selling, he decided to make chocolate himself. He learned how to make delicious chocolate by adding fresh milk. His milk chocolate turned out to be a great success. So he sold his caramel factory and focused on making chocolate only.
In 1903, Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and an entire town to go with it. Today, the town of Hershey is still the home of the Hershey chocolate factory. You can smell the delicious chocolate smells just by driving through the town.

The Getty Center

① The Getty Center attracts 1.1 million visitors a year. It is one of the most popular art museums in the US. One reason for its popularity may be that the Getty is free. No tickets to buy, and no reservations needed. There is a $15 parking fee, but you do not have to pay for parking after 5 p.m. And there is convenient public transportation.
② A tram (接驳车)carries you from the parking area up to the hilltop campus. When you step out, you come face to face with views of the Pacific Ocean, the Santa Monica Mountains, and the vast open area of Los Angeles.
③ Then you will see the five main buildings that house the museum's collection surrounding a central courtyard. The buildings are connected by glassed walkways. So you can enjoy the view again while you move from one building to another. One of the outstanding characteristics of the museum is the natural light that shines through each building's computer-controlled louvers(百叶窗). It allows viewers to look at paintings in the same natural light in which they were created.
④ Part of the large campus is used for a series of gardens. The Central Garden was designed by Robert Irwin. He himself built everything from the handrails (扶手) to the waterfall to create a special and artistic experience in nature.
⑤ The Getty Center makes an effort to satisfy visitors. There is a café that offers lunches and snacks. There is also a restaurant for more formal meals, but it usually requires reservations. The museum includes a family room that lets kids create artwork and offers educational programs for everyone.

Pets for the English

For the English people, keeping pets is not just a leisure activity. 1 In fact, the expression "keeping pets" does not show the high status of their animals. An Englishman's home may be his castle, but his dog is the real king.
Many other cultures have pets. The Americans may outdo (超过)the English in buying expensive things for their pets. 2 Their pets are more than symbols of status. They tend to be far more open, easy and communicative in their relationships with their animals than with each other.
The average Englishman will try hard to avoid communication with his fellow humans. 3 But he will have no difficulty in having lively conversations with a dog.
An American visitor had once suffered for a week as a guest in a fairly typical English home. 4 The owner of the dogs engaged them in non-stop chat and laughed lovingly at their misbehaviors. She complained that the owner's relationship with these pets was "abnormal" and "unhealthy".
The English are allowed to criticize their own pets. But this must be done in friendly and joking tones. 5 They may lovingly talk about the items their dogs have eaten or destroyed. "It wasn't just shoes and ordinary things, mine used to eat mobile phones." "Well, mine chewed a whole Hi-Fi system to bits!"
A．It is an entire way of life.
B．This family ways ruled by two large dogs.
C．But the English's relationship with animals is different
D．In fact, they often take pride in their pets' misbehaviors.
E．No wonder animals are so important to the English people.
F. When he cannot avoid it he will generally become nervous.

[解析] 根据此空上文提到，对于英国人，养宠物不仅是一项休闲活动。由此可推断此空与上文是语意递进的关系。A项意为：它是整个生活的一种方式。此项符合语境推理，故选A。

[解析] 此空上文提到，美国人可能会比英国人花费更多在为宠物添置昂贵物品。下文又说到，他们的宠物不仅仅是地位的象征。此处可与第一段最后一句话(An Englishman's home may be his castle, but his dog is the real king.)相呼应。由此可知，该空下文中的“他们”指的是“Englishmen”。所以该空应选择一个将话题从美国人转至英国人的句子，C项意为：但是英国人和动物的关系又不一样。C项符合逻辑，故选C。

[解析] 根据该空上文“一般的英国人会尽量避免和人交流。下文又说到：但是他和狗的互动是完全没有障碍的”可知，此段中会提到英国人和人交流时，会有某些障碍。F项意为：当他无法避免的时候，通常会变得紧张。结合“avoid”等词的提醒，可知应选F .

[解析] 根据此空上文：美国人去到一个典型的英国家庭做客。后文提到一些狗主人和狗的互动。由此可推出要想使句意合乎逻辑，中间会要提到该英国主人家的狗。B项意为：两条大狗统治着这个家。B项符合文意，故选b .

[解析] 根据此空下文：英国人会充满爱意地跟别人谈论起自家的宠物狗吃掉了或者是损坏了他们的物品。由此语境可推断出他们对宠物的捣蛋并不生气，相反还引以为傲。D项意为：实际上，他们经常为自家宠物的调皮行为感到自豪。D项与文意一致，故选D。

第五部分——填词补文
下面的短文有10处空白，短文后列出12个词，其中10个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。
