The majority of people, about nine out of ten, are right-handed.【71】until recently, people who were left-handed were considered【72】, and once children showed this tendency they were forced to use their right hands. Today left-handedness is generally【73】, but it is still a disadvantage in a world【74】most people are right-handed. For example, most tools and implements are still【75】for right-handed people.
In sports【76】contrast, doing things with the left hand or foot is often an advantage. Throwing, kicking, punching or batting from the "【77】" side may result in throwing【78】many opponents who are more accustomed to dealing with the【79】of players who are right-handed. This is why, in many【80】at a professional level, a【81】proportion of players are left-handed than in the population as a whole.
The word "right" in many languages means "correct" or is【82】with lawfulness, whereas the words associated【83】"left", such as "sinister", generally have【84】associations. Moreover, among a number of primitive peoples, there is【85】close association between death and the left hand.
In the past, in【86】Western societies, children were often forced to use their right hands, especially to write with. In some cases the left hand was【87】behind the child’s back so that it could not be used. If, in the future, they are allowed to choose,【88】will certainly be more left-handers, and probably【89】people with minor psychological disturbances as a result of being forced to use their【90】hand.
选项
A、more
B、higher
C、better
D、smaller
答案
B
解析
语意搭配题。B higher意为“较高的”,可与句中的proportion(比例)一词搭配,符合题意。其他选项:A more意为“更多的”;C better意为“更好的”;D smaller意为“较小的”;均与本句意思不符。句意:这也就是为什么在许多具有职业水准的比赛中,左撇子运动员所占的比例要高于整个人口数中左撇子所占的比例。
