问题     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、Unique
B、eccentric
C、normal
D、abnormal
答案D
解析 语意搭配题。abnormal意为“不正常的，反常的”，意指与普通的或所期待的不同，如：Tests have shown that he has an abnormal heart rhythm．此处指用左手的人被别人如何看待，根据上下文，选项D abnormal符合题意。选项A unique意为“惟一的，独一无二的”；选项B eccentric意为“古怪的”，意指人或行为怪异，如：Don’t you think it’s eccentric to keep a pet crocodile in the bath?选项C normal意为“正常的”，与句意相反。句意：一直到最近，用左手的人还被视为不正常的人，一旦孩子们表现出用左手的倾向，父母们就会迫使他们改用右手。
