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、minority
B、majority
C、plenty
D、lack
答案B
解析 词语搭配题。此处需要一个名词来限定修饰players，players指的是惯用右手的运动员，而文章的第一句话：The majority of people are right-handed，因此选项B majority正确。其他选项：A minority(少数人)； C plenty(很多人)和D lack(缺乏)均与句意不符。句意：从“错误”的一侧(即左侧)投掷、踢球、拳击或击球也许是你战胜你的对手的原因。因为这些对手更习惯于对付大多数惯用右手的运动员。
