Today left-handedness is generally (3)_____, but it is still a disadvantage in a world (4)_____ most people are right-handed. For example, most tools and implements are still (5)_____ for right-handed people.
In sports (6)_____ contrast, doing things with the left hand or foot, is often an advantage. Throwing, kicking, punching or batting from the" (7)_____ "side may result in throwing (8)_____ many opponents who are more accustomed to dealing with the (9)_____ of players who are right-handed. This is why, in many (10)_____ at a professional level, a (11)_____ proportion of players are left-handed than in the population as a whole.

选项
A、left
B、right
C、either
D、correct
答案
B
解析
此题属于语意搭配题。根据文章意思,用右手是天经地义的。如果孩子有左撇子倾向,其父母就会迫使他(她)改用右手,这样就可能使孩子产生轻微的心理障碍。故选项right(右边的)正确。其他选项:left(左边的),either(任何一个)和correct(正确的)均不符合题意。全句可译为:将来,如果孩子们可以选择使用左手还是右手,毫无疑问,他们中会出现更多的左撇子,而由于被逼改用右手而产生心理障碍的人也会少一些。
