Thinking
| ·Some scientists claim that we humans are the only living things that are conscious(有意识的)—we alone are aware that we are thinking. ·No one knows how consciousness works—it is one of science’s last great mysteries. ·All your thoughts take place in the cerebrum(大脑皮质),which is at the top of your brain,and different kinds of thought are linked to different areas,called association areas. ·Each half of the cerebrum has four rounded ends called lobes(脑叶)—two at the front(frontal and temporal lobes)and two at the back(occipital and parietal lobes). ·The frontal lobe is linked to your personality and it is where you have your bright ideas. ·The temporal lobe is where you hear and understand what people say to you. ·The occipital lobe is where you work out what your eyes see. ·The parietal lobe is where you record touch,heat and cold,and pain. ·The left half of the brain controls the right side of the body.The right half controls the left side. ·One half of the brain is always dominant(in charge).Usually,the left brain is dominant,which is why 90% of people are right-handed. |
| A．The frontal lobe. | B．The temporal lobe. |
| C．The occipital lobe. | D．The parietal lobe. |
| A．One’s personality has something to do with the frontal lobe. |
| B．Bright ideas come from the parietal lobe. |
| C．The occipital and temperal lobes are at the back of the cerebrum. |
| D．The occipital lobe is in charge of sound. |
| A．their frontal lobe is usually dominant |
| B．their temporal lobe is usually dominant |
| C．their right brain is usually dominant |
| D．their left brain is usually dominant |
【小题 1】B
【小题 2】A
【小题 3】C
解析【小题 1】这是一道细节题。根据短文中的“The temporal lobe is where you hear and understand what people say to you.”可判断出当你打电话时temporal lobe最活跃,因为它是听见和理解人们对你说什么的部位。
【小题 2】这是一道正误判断题。根据短文中的“The frontal lobe is linked to your personality and it is where you have your bright ideas.”可判断出选项A是正确的。
【小题 3】这是一道细节题。根据短文中的“Usually,the left brain is dominant,which is why 90% of people are right-handed.”可判断出一个人是左撇子的原因是他的右脑处于支配地位。

科目：高中英语 来源：2012届重庆市一中高三上学期第一次月考英语试卷 题型：阅读理解
It is six o’clock in the morning. You are asleep in my left arm and I am learning the art of one-handed typing. Your mother, more tired yet more happy than I’ve ever known her, is sound asleep in the room next door.
When you’re older we’ll tell you that you were born in Hong Kong in the lunar year of the pig. “It's a boy, so lucky,” our neighbours told us. They said you were the first baby to be born in the block this year. This, they told us, was good Feng Shui, in other words, a positive sign. Naturally your mother and I were only too happy to believe that.
Your coming has turned me upside down and inside out. I am pained by the memory of each suffering child I have come across on my journeys as a journalist. To tell you the truth, it’s nearly too much for me to even think of the children being hurt and abused and killed.
Last October, in Afghanistan, when you were growing inside your mother, I met Sharja, aged twelve, motherless, fatherless, guiding me through the grey ruins of her home. Everything was gone, she told me.
There is another memory of Rwanda, and the churchyard where I found a mother and her three young children huddled(蜷缩) together where they’d been beaten to death. The children had died holding on to their mother.
Daniel, these memories explain some of the protectiveness I feel for you, and the occasional moments of blind terror when I imagine anything bad happening to you.
【小题1】We can see that this text is written to ________.
| A．the author’s wife | B．the author’s neighbour |
| C．Daniel | D．a suffering child |
| A．he wants his son to care for others |
| B．he feels more pain thinking about them as a father |
| C．he hopes to forget the tragedies he witnessed |
| D．his experience has affected his mental health |
| A．unable to see | B．meaningful |
| C．not clear | D．not based on reason |
| A．Relieved. | B．Regretful. | C．Loving. | D．Calm. |
