浙江省杭州市西湖区2019年初中毕业模拟考试英语考试试题
they don't like，their tails go to the left.
There are lots of fun examples.Left-handed dolphins swim in a different direction around the pool.Elephants like to swing their trunks in one direction.Even snakes prefer to curl up only one way.
Many people believe that polar bears are left-handed.They say，for example，that polar bears cover their black nose with their right paw，which helps them hide in the snow when they are hunting.Then they can sneak up(慢慢靠近)on a seal，and their left paw will be free to catch it.
Scientists，however，disagree.Some have watched polar bears for thousands of hours.They never saw the bears cover their nose during a hunt.They also saw no evidence(根据)that they were left-handed.Without taking any notice of this，many websites continue to say that polar bears are left-handed.
Scientists are still learning about animals and their behaviors.The next time you see an animal，whether it's your pet cat or an elephant，try figuring out yourself which it prefers—left or right.
【主旨大意】 长期以来，科学家们认为只有人类才有左撇子和右撇子之分。然而，最近的研究表明，动物中也存在此类现象。

[解析：考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的“…recent studies have shown that this isn't true.Just like people…”可知，动物中也存在偏爱左边或右边的现象，由此推断出画线单词意为“更喜欢”，故选D。]
