17、hey were both formed as the result of years of geological events.B When the Christ Child was born, all people, animals, trees, and other plants felt that great happiness had come into the world. Every day people came to see the sweet Babe and they thought that they would like to give presents to the

18、 Child. The Palm(棕榈树)said, “I will choose my biggest leaf and place it as a fan to wave soft air to the Child.” The Olive said, “I will sprinkle sweet-smelling oil over him.”“What can I give to the Child?” asked the Fir(冷杉). “You? You have nothing to offer. Your needles would stab the Babe, and your

19、 tears are sticky”, said the others. This made the poor Fir very unhappy indeed, and it said, sadly, “Yes, you are right. I have nothing that would be good enough to offer to the Christ Child.”Now, quite near to the trees stood an Angel, who heard what they said. He was moved to pity the Fir and dec

20、ided to help it. High in the dark of the heavens the stars were beginning to winkle, and the Angel begged some of the little ones to come down and rest upon the branches of the Fir. They were glad to do this, and their silvery light shone among the branches just like Christmas candles. To its deligh

21、t, the Fir Tree saw the face of the Babe with a happy smile as he looked upon the twinkling lights.The Christ Child did not forget the lovely sight, and from then on, he ordered that on his birthday a Fir Tree should be placed in every house, which might be lit up with candles to shine for the child

25、ndles to the Christ Child.C. The Christ Child is quite satisfied with the Fir. D.

Recent studies have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontroll

26、able 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

27、feelings. This is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter.”Smell, which dictates(决定) 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 t

28、aste 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 sens

29、e. 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 ro

30、ad 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 conce

31、ntration 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 a

32、re 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.

33、What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out?A. The type of food smells.B. The nature of human olfactory system.C. The logical part of human brain. D. The relationship between food and feelings.29. Which of the following can help people concentrate? A. Bread.B. Fast food.C.Pizza.D. Coffee.30. What

34、do we know from the last paragraph?A. Different people are sensitive to different smells. B. Every person has a different pattern of genes.C. Some people can recognize up to 50 smells. D. There are still some olfactory genes to be found out.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. Logic and behavior.

35、 B. Sense ability and food tastes.C. Smell and its influence. D. Olfactory genes and its system. DTudor Cobalas nearly crashed his car while driving and texting on his phone. It was this near-death experience that inspired him to turn the smartphone from a weapon of mass distraction into a tool fors

36、afer driving.Mr. Cobalas developed Safe Drive, an app that rewards drivers for ignoring their phones while driving. Once a driver drives too fast, the app launches a “Release” button on the screen, effectively locking the phone. Driving without checking the phone generates scores that can be turned

37、into shopping discounts in the Safe Drive Marketplace.Its a simple idea that has attracted nearly 100,000 users globally and 30 commercial partners. Worldwide, about 1.25 million people die each year as a result of road traffic accidents, according to the World Health Organization. “Smartphone distr

38、action” is blamed for an increasing number of accidents. Drivers using a mobile phone are four times more likely to be involved in a crash. Many parents also want to educate their children, young drivers. That is why a growing number of technologybusinessmen are trying to handle the problem.“Althoug

39、h smartphones are rightly blamed for an increase in distracted driving, we wanted to show that smartphones could be used to make drivers better,” says Hari Balakrishnan, chief technology officer of Cambridge Mobile Telematics, a US company that has developed an app called Drive Well.The app measures

40、 all aspects of driving such as hard braking, abrupt acceleration, sharp cornering and speeding. But it also monitors how often drivers are distracted by their phones and generates a “safety score” at the end of each trip. The free app features competition leader boards that enable drivers to compet

41、e with their friends, family and colleagues, as well as personalized safer driving tips. Good safety scores can earn drivers discounts on car insurance, Mr. Balakrishnan says. Last year the company started a competition to find Bostons safest driver. Nearly 5,000 people have signed up, and 98 have b

45、artphones in the driving process.B. To introduce some useful apps that can guarantee our safety.C. To compare different types of apps concerning driving safety. D. To show us smartphones can make drivers safer in a way. 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。If you think your

47、in front of your kids and theyre more likely to want. Krisena Borenstein, a mother of two children aged three and four, has seen this type of role modeling work. 36 Watching their father eat apples may cause them to want “what Daddy eats”.2.
