山西大学附中20152016学年高二第二学期3月（总第七次）模块诊断英语试题（考查时间：100分钟）（考查内容：综合） 第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。aa study found that young people have a stronger and more unpleasant scent (气味) than the elderly，while elderly peoples smell was the most distinctive，less intense and unpleasant. researchers said the change in our smell is driven by the chemicals we release through our glands (腺) and the bacteria on our skin.to test whether or not it really exists，scientists collected a series of samples from three groups of 12 to 16 donors，aged 20 to 30，45 to 55 and 75 to 95.volunteers wore special tshirts fitted with underarm pads (护垫) as they slept for five nights，after which the pads were cut up and put in glass jars. a separate group of 41 people aged 20 to 30 was then asked to smell two jars at a time and asked which group of the donors was older，as well as rating how strong and unpleasant each smell was.when asked to specify whether a particular sample was from a young，middle aged or old person，they were much more successful at identifying older people. despite being the most distinctive，the older peoples smell was also rated as being obviously less intense and less unpleasant than those from the other groups.researchers said their findings appeared to contradict peoples negative ideas about the old persons smell but admitted other factors，like smelly breath or skin，could be to blame for its bad reputation.“similar to other animals，humans can give off body scents that allow us to identify biological age，avoid sick individuals and pick a suitable partner. elderly people have a distinctive scent that younger people consider to be not very unpleasant. this was surprising given the popular conception of old age scent as smelly. however，its possible that other sources of body scents，such as skin or breath，may have different qualities,” said dr johan lundstrom，who led the study.1what do we know from the study?apeople of different ages give off different scents.bpeoples scent can only be changed by the bacteria on their skin.cpeople show great interest in old peoples scent.dpeoples scent can help distinguish a man

it treats a digital book like a paperback copy. it charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income.from the consumers point of view, this means that if more than five people want the latest danielle steel romance novel, other people who request that book will get a message saying the title is unable to get. many publishers seem to have embraced its model. more than 350 publishers gave the company rights to hand out their digital works, and mcgraw-hill corporation and houghton mifflin corporation have put money into the company. the california public libraries and about 1,800 others across the us are trying out the net library service. some librarians criticize the net library model. stanford university librarian michael keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital works, which is contrary to the ideas of the internet. keller and some other librarians argue for the e-book vision set forth by brary. brary is starting a service that lets us users read books for free. but it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to point out material or copy and taste it into a different file or tries to download a copy onto a computer. christopher warnock, chief executive of brary, believes most consumers wont want to buy entire books, only the parts that interest them. “there is not really a lot of good owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it. it doesnt make sense,” he said.9how do publishers get money from the net library?athey get money from selling their books to the
