21、Researchers continue to show the power behind our sense of smell. Recent studies have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in drivers on roads.

The review explains that smell is unique in its effects on the brain. According to Conrad King, the researcher who carried out the review, "more than any other senses, the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings. This is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter."

Smell, which dictates the unbelievable complexity of food tastes, has always been the least understood of our senses. Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000 distinct smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1,000 genes (基因), which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome. Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004 for their ground-breaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense. These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1,000 olfactory (嗅觉) genes and to explain how our olfactory system works.

According to one study in the research review, smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users. They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads. The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry, and therefore desperate to satisfy their appetites.

In contrast, the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers’ impatience. Similarly, the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.

However, the way genes regulate smell differs from person to person. A study by researchers in Israel has identified at least 50 olfactory genes which are switched on in some people and not in others. They believe this may explain why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them. The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly every human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors.

【1】What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out?

A．The category of food smells.

B．The logical part of human brain.

C．The nature of human olfactory system.

D．The relationship between food and feelings.

【2】Which of the following can help people concentrate?

A．Bread.

B．Fruits.

C．Coffee.

D．Fast food.

【3】What do we know from the last paragraph?

A．Some people can recognize up to 50 smells.

B．Every person has a different pattern of genes.

C．Different people are sensitive to different smells.

D．There are still some olfactory genes to be found out.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Logic and behaviour.

B．Smell and its influence.

C．Sense ability and food tastes.

D．Olfactory genes and its system.

22、   When you eat out in restaurant, it is not unusual to hear people yelling, “Let me get this one!” and sometimes see them pushing or arm wrestling to fight for the privilege of paying the bill.

These fights are often very loud and active. Each person involved shows an honest desire to pick up the bill, and in the end, all the people at the table give the winner praise and gratitude.

In fact, figuring out who will get the bill is always a headache for Chinese people at formal meals. Although the people hosting the meal are very likely to pay the check, it is common practice to make token effort to pay the bill, but you will embarrass them if you do end up actually chipping in some cash.

In recent years, going Dutch has been embraced by many young people. But older generations who fear “losing face” still find it embarrassing and stingy to calculate each person’s share of the bill. As travel guide brand Lonely Planet noted, it is considered “the height of unsophistication”.

But these days, thanks to digital payment apps, splitting the bill electronically is becoming a widely-accepted idea. Even people from older generations may be tempted to do so.

By scanning a QR code and paying their share via social networking tool WeChat and e-commerce app Alipay on their smart phones in one easy click, urban Chinese are finding it easier to save them the embarrassment of figuring out each perso’s payment when they order a meal.

This function “has made going Dutch less hassle and more fun in China”, CNN noted.

“Because of their convenience, many of us are never without our phones. And person-to-person mobile payment services are incredibly easy to use and save the trouble of dealing with change”, said 18-year-old student in China.

“You can also leave funny notes using emoji like bowl of rice or cup of tea to describe a meal that you have shared.”

【1】What is the article mainly about?

A.The Chinese tradition of dining out with friends.

B.A new trend of splitting the bill in China.

C.How social networking tools have influenced our daily lives.

D.Why people in China argue over who pays the bill when dining out.

【2】The underlined phrase “going Dutch” in Paragraph 4 probably means   .

A.figuring out the total payment B.taking turns to pay the bill

C.fighting for the privilege of paying the bill D.each person paying their own expenses

【3】Many Chinese people make a token effort to pay the bill because   .

A.they don’t want to be considered unsophisticated

B.they want praise and gratitude from their friends

C.they consider it an honor to host the meal and pay the bill

D.they find it hard to work out how much each person needs to pay

【4】According to the article, what are the advantages of using digital payment apps to split the bill?

a. They’re easier to use and more interesting.

b. They save the trouble of dealing with change.

c. They make it easier to figure out how much money each person has to pay.

d. They make people less embarrassed to split the bill.

A.a, b B.b, c C.a, b, d D.b, c, d

23、Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical (亚热带的) wilderness in the country.【1】It is also the third largest national park in the lower forty-eight states, after Death Valley and Yellowstone. Each year, more than one million people visit the Everglades.

In recent years, environmental experts have learned about the damage to the Everglades. They say the balance of nature there has been destroyed.【5】 However, efforts to protect the area are continuing so people from all over the world may continue visiting this biological treasure.

24、   Stuart Bee prayed that rescue would come before his ship slipped completely under water. The 62-year-old sailor had been washed out of his boat by a wave while he was sleeping at about midnight on Saturday, leaving him fighting for survival in the Atlantic, 86 miles off Florida.

Mr. Bee set out at 4 pm on Friday and was reported missing on Saturday by friends. On Sunday morning, 11 hours later, he was found by a container ship. “What day is it?” he asked Lacruiser Relativo, the container ship’s second officer who threw him a lifebuoy and helped him aboard.

“My ship suffered engine failure. There were long and sharp noises and I was asleep when the water gushed in the back and forced me up the front,” Mr. Bee told the US coast guard after his rescue. He said he swam in jeans and heavy work boots through the boat’s forward hatch (船口) and surfaced, with no life jacket or any flotation. Mr. Relativo said later, “He stuck to the only part of his boat that was not sunk. He told me that he thought maybe that it was to be his last night and that if it was, had he lived his life well enough? He said he realized he had a beautiful life, out there watching the moon on the open water. It was dark but he found an inner peace as he looked at the sky.”

Leisa Bee, his niece, said, “Another half hour and his boat would have completely sunk and no one would have found it or him. I keep looking at the pictures of his rescue and I can’t stop crying. My uncle lived on that boat, so his home is gone now and all his possessions, though he did manage to keep his wallet. When he called my family, he said, ‘Hey, you’ll never guess what happened to me!’ I had no clue of the thousands of people who’d been praying for me.”

【1】Who first found Stuart Bee missing?

B．His friends.

D．Coast guards.
