答案 B
解析 根据后面这句：孩子们一旦显示出左撇子的倾向就会被强迫使用右手，可以推断出人们在最近之前一直都认为使用左手是很不好的，因此这里选D "abnormal"，意思是：不正常的。unique“独特的”;eccentric“古怪的”;normal“正常的”。
generally accepted“普遍接受的”。admit“承认”;approve“同意，许可”;acknowledge“认可”。
where引导定语从句修饰world。
by contrast“相比之下”。
result in“导致，造成”;result from“由于······而造成”。
majority“大多数”;minority“少数”;plenty“很多”，通常修饰不可数名词； lack“缺乏”。这句话的意思是：从反面投掷、踢腿、拳击或者是用球拍击打可能会把大多数习惯了对付使用右手的对手们彻底击败。
game“比赛，赛事”;hobby“业余爱好”;activity“活动”;round“轮（比赛）”。这句话的意思是：这就是为什么在很多专业级别的比赛中，左撇子的比例要高于普通人群中左撇子的比例。
be connected with“跟······联系在一起”;related要和介词to搭配使用；mix “混合”，意思在这里不合适；combine“结合”，常和with搭配，意思不合适。本句话的意思是： “右”这个词在很多语言中都意味着“正确”或者和“合法”联系在一起。
be associated with sth.“和······相关联”，这句话中associated with "left", 是定语，修饰words。
根据句中转折连词whereas可以判断两种情况形成对照，既然和“右”相关的词汇意味着“正确”“合法”，因此whereas后的句子中说的就是相反的情况，因此这里选择 negative , negative association的意思是“负面的含义”。
There is a close association between...and…意思是：······和······之间关系密切。这句话的意思是：而且在很多原始的部落里，左手和死亡也密切相关。
tie“绑，捆”; attach“连接，附属”; bring“带来”; remove“拿走，脱掉”。这句话的意思是：有时候孩子的左手被绑在背后避免他使用。
这里是there be结构。
这句话的意思是：将来如果孩子们可以自己选择，一定会有更多的左撤子，而由于被迫使用右手导致轻微心理问题的人数也会减少。
