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、accepted
B、admitted
C、approved
D、acknowledged
答案 A
解析 语意搭配题。accept意为“乐意地接受、认同”，根据句意，现在左撇子已经得到了认同，故选项A accepted符合题意。其他选项：B admit意为“承认(坏事)”，常暗示有外界压力，不情愿的意味较更强，如：She admitted (that) she had made a mistake．C approve意为“批准”，如：We had to wait weeks for the council to approve our plan to extend our house．D acknowledge意为“公开地承认”，如：With so much evidence against him, he could not but acknowledge his error．
