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(决定) the unbelievable plexity 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(基因组). Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in xx 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.28. What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out?A. The type of food smells.B.The logical part of human brain.C.The nature of human olfactory system.D.The relationship between pizzas and feelings.29. Which of the following can help people concentrate?A. Bread. B. Pizza.C. Coffee.D. Fast food.30. What do we know from the last paragraph?A. Every 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.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. Logic and behavior. B. Smell and its influence.C. Sense ability and food tastes.D. Olfactory genes and its system. DDo you have a spare room in your house? What about a driveway for your car? Both of these can help you make money.Many people who are feeling the pinch are taking advantage of whats been called the “sharing economy”.Perhaps the best-known example of a pany in this field is Airbnb-an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers.It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has over 1,500,000 listings.It seems to have concerned the market!A British pany is doing something with parking spaces. JustParks founder, Anthony Eskinazi, says ,“When I had the original idea,I spotted a driveway close to a sports stadium.It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in mercial car park.” And he has a big clientele（客户）:around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the site,and he says around half a million drivers use it.There are other sites doing very similar things,like Uber and Lyft-these let drivers share their cars with other passengers.Any driver knows how valuable a place to park is .A church near Kings Cross in central London has apparently made over 200,000 by renting out space in its yard to travelers!Because this is a new business world,those rules arent there yet and many people are happy to share.as long as it pays!But the sharing economy has its critics:the petitors of these new panies.People who run things like traditional B&B, mercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out of pocket.And there is another issue:regulations on these new business are unclear.How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor?32.What does the underlined phrase “feeling the pinch” probably mean?A.Lacking in money B.Full of curiosityC.Willing to help others D.Unsatisfied with their life33.Who may be against the sharing economy?A.A taxi driver who cant find a a parking placeB.A priest in the church near Kings Cross C.A traveller who needs acmodation D.A well-known high-end holiday hotel34.Why are many people pleased to share according to paragraph 4?A.They can gain extremely huge profits B.They neednt pay any feeC.There are few rules to limit them D.The new business has no risks35.Which of the following words can best describe the booming business?A.Useless but developed B.petitive but unpracticalC.Effective and worrying D.Traditional and acceptable第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。While your teen may get by OK by waiting until the last possible second to plete his high school science experiment or his math project, procrastination (拖延症) can be a big problem later in life.
