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、tied
B、attached
C、brought
D、removed
答案A
解析 语意搭配题。tie意为“用绳索、带子等捆、绑”，如：You should tie up the parcel with a strong string．根据原句意思，孩子的左手应是被绑在背后，故选项A tied正确。其他选项：B attached意为“缚上，系上，贴上”，常与介词to连用，如：He attached a stamp to the envelope and mailed it．C brought意为“带来”；D removed意为“去除，搬走”。句意：有的孩子的左手被绑在背后，这样他们就无法用左手了。
