CS扫描全能王 3亿人整在用的日mAp的 One reason is that odor molecules(气昧分子)move much more slowly as the air temperature drops,said Pamela Dalton,an olfactory scientist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia.That means that there are simply fewer smells to smell on a cold,crisp day than there are on a hot and humid one.It's the same reason why hot soup smells more than cold soup does and why the garbage truck leaves behind the strongest smells on steamy summer days. What's more,our noses don't work quite well when the surrounding air is cold,Dalton said.In experiments that require biopsies(话组织检查)of olfactory receptors that lie deep inside the nose, researchers at Monell have discovered that the receptors"bury themselves a little more deeply in the nose in winter,"she said,"possibly as a protective response against cold,dry air." "There is a strong psychological factor in our sense of smell,"Alan Hirsch,a neurologist and psychiatrist in Chicago,added,"and what we expect to smell has a big influence on what we actually smell."In The Invalid's Story by Mark Twain,for example,a man is stuck on a train next to what he thinks is a rotting(dead body but is actually a box of cheese that smells extremely unpleasant.So strongly affected by the smell,he spends too long looking for fresh air on the freezing platform and develops a fever that ends up killing him."What you think of a smell will have powerful effects on you whether you like it or whatever you think it to be,"Hirsch said."So, if you go outside in winter and you are used to smelling snow or nuts in the fire or whatever you happen to smell outside,that's what you will interpret smells to be." To cope with lack of smells in winter,many people try to burn more candles with pleasant smells,cook more sweet stews()and bake more cookies,which creates a greater contrast between indoor and outdoor environments."You're probably fond of indoor smells in winter," Dalton said."Doors are closed,and windows are closed.We concentrate on the smells of cooking and living.” 24.According to the second paragraph,Pamela Dalton will probably agree that A.there are not many smells available to be smelled in winter B.hot soup is more popular with people in winter than cold soup C.garbage truck is easier to break down in cold winter D.air temperature affects the direction in which smells spread greatly 25.The author used the story written by Mark Twain to show that A.one can easily feel terrible smells in a small space B.no one can survive when there is lack of fresh air C.one's mind and thoughts can affect his sense of smell D.one's opinion on smells is quite different from others' 26.Which of the following is NOT a measure people take to deal with lack of smells in winter? A.Closing windows. B.Cooking stews. C.Burning candles. D.Baking cookies. 2,How is the passage organized? (P:Paragraph) C③扫描全能王 3亿人爸在用的扫量Ap的 B 5 P1 P4 5 C When the 2024 Summer Olympics kicked off in Paris,the city went for the wow factor,for the opening ceremony didn't take place in a stadium but-bucking tradition-outside on the River Seine.Bathed in myth and memory,the Seine is the lifeblood of the city that sprang up on its banks. From its source in Burgundy,the Seine flows 483 miles to reach the sea at Le Havre,with the capital sitting nearly in the middle.The River's layout within Paris has undergone changes over time,its course altered by constant floods,its branches and channels ultimately flowing into the snakelike riverbed we know today. It was near the Seine's banks at Bercy that evidence of the city's first human settlement was discovered.The earliest fixed settlement was the Neolithic site at the Bercy archaeological dig from 1991 to 1992."Situated on a branch,or canal,of the Seine,the village had been well preserved under layers of sediment left by floods,"says Sylvie Robin,a museum director. The city's beloved stone quays were built over the centuries for the city's beautification.The quays also served to channel the river and attempt to constrain flooding.As the mighty river fueled industry and empire,dams,locks,bridges,and later factories forever altered its flowing patterns. For millennia,life was lived on the river.The Seine's banks were a gathering place for work and leisure.However,a different approach to urban planning in the 20th century began to separate the public from the river.In the 1960s,highways were constructed directly on the water's edge.The quays even changed into parking lots.The tide turned in 2013 when the city government decided to pedestrianize the motorway on the Left Bank.Cyclists and walkers returned to the quays,enjoying new facilities such as climbing walls and floating gardens.A riverside park on the Right Bank's motorway followed in 2016.The much boasted $1.5 billion Olympic Games river cleanup project is C③扫描全能王 3亿人整在用的日mAp的 the peak of years of investment. 28.What does the underlined word"bucking"in paragraph 1 mean? A.Integrating. B.Resisting. C.Highlighting. D.Embracing. 29.What can we learn about the River Seine according to the text? A.The earliest settlements were unearthed along the Seine. B.The River Seine,flowing through Paris,shaped the city. C.Floods rarely affected the River Seine and its population. D.The Olympics made the Seine a popular tourist attraction. 30.Why were the stone quays built along the River Seine? DTo defend against attacks. 2To develop the transport. 3To control the floods. ④To channel the river. 5To beautify the surroundings. BTo support the Olympics. 4.①②④ B.②③⑥ C.③④⑤ D.①⑤⑧ 31.What does the last paragraph highlight? A.People used to have fun living along the Seine. B.Urbanization has transformed life on the Seine. C.Human activities harmed the Seine's ecosystem. D.The Paris government aims to energize the Seine. D Workers at a warehouse in New York,wear black motorized backpacks tied around their chests and thighs )The device,known as an exosuit,weighs 6.5 pounds and helps offload up to 40%of workers'body weight as they lift bags of goods. While exoskeletons haven't taken off as their promoters hoped,Verve Motion,the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based startup behind the exosuit,figures its lightweight soft design is the answer to helping warehouse workers avoid back injuries."People targeting the problem earlier...saw Iron Man,and wanted to make it real,"Cofounder and CEO Ignacio Galiana told Forbes."We wanted to make it practical.” Back injuries are both common for warehouse workers and expensive for their employers,who mus:cover their insurance claims,which cost nearly $40,000 each,in addition to lost work days. Customers typically see the exosuit pay for themselves in the first half of the first year in use due to a 65%to 85%reduction in back injuries,Galiana said.Customers also typically see an improvement in productivity because workers aren't exhausted at the end of their shifts."It's a safety tool that pays for itself,"he said. A dozen years ago,Galiana came to Harvard and teamed up with Conor Walsh to work on the idea of a soft exosuit.The pair wanted to look at how the human body works and design high-tech devices to help them perform specific,difficult tasks better.The detailed picking-and-packing warehouse workers do-and that Verve is focused on-is among the most difficult jobs to automate.Verve's approach of offloading weight is different from the others.The exosuit uses sensors to estimate what a worker is doing and applies force in concert with a worker's own muscles.By using the high-tech backpack,workers can offload 40%of the weight,making a day's work the equivalent of lifting,say,30,000 pounds instead of 50,000."That extra tens of thousands C③扫描全能王 3亿人整在用的日mAp的 of pounds is where the injuries come." Verve plans to scale up operations in the U.S.with both new and existing customers.While its current product focuses on back injuries,it could eventually develop devices to guard against shoulder damage or knee troubles as well. 32.Why did Galiana mention Iron Man in the interview with Forbes? A.Iron Man inspires the designing of exosuits.B.Iron Man urges workers to make light pack. C.People long for exoskeletons.like Iron Man.D.People love sci-fi movies such as Iron Man. 33.What can we learn about Verve's exosuit from paragraph 3? A.Workers get exhausted from wearing it. B.It can decrease workers'back injuries. C.It has low cost-effectiveness for users. D.Bosses cancel workers'insurance for it. 34.How aoes Verve's exosuit function? A.By cooperating with workers'muscles to apply force. B.By reducing 60%of the weight of goods workers lift. C.By estimating a worker's daily workload with sensors. D.By determining the source of the extra 20,000 pounds. 35.What does Verve Motion focus on? A.Market expansion strategies. B.Injury prevention equipment. C.Productivity boost programs. D.Picking-and-packing robots. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两 项为多余选项。 Resolving(解决)Conflict in Friendships Conflict is surely a common problem in life and friendships.36 That's because there isn't enough depth to guarantee all the trouble it takes to smooth over the disagreement. Unfortunately,even when the friendship reaches a deeper level,conflict continues to happen and can break apart a relationship.Here are some resolutions. Resolve it the day it happens.One rule my parents follow in their marriage is that they don't go to bed angry with each other.They always attempt to resolve things the day it happens so that in the morning,it's a fresh start with no past grudge().I've found I need a short cool down period so that I don t act in anger.37Whatever you do,don't let things ride for too long. 38Sometimes if you sit down and talk things over,you begin to see where the other person is coming from.Realize that everyone has been created differently with various talents, abilities,and personality traits.For example,you might be a leader while your friend is more of follower.You may be frustrated.with him or her for not being very decisive.Yet it is important to understand that each person is unique and needs to be appreciated. Initiate resolution.39Even when you think the other person is wrong,it's not a bad thing to say "I'm sorry if I offended you in that way."If you're honcst and genuine in delivering your words,there's a good chance your friend will respond positively. Most importantly;be loving in what you do.Try to focus on peacefully resolving the disagreement.It is not a most pleasant task to resolve conflict in any friendship.40 C因扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的日量A的 A.Don't expect too much. B.Try to see the other person's perspective. C.Be the first person in a fight to say sorry for your part. D.Many shallow friendships end up being ruined after an argument. E.To say sorry bravely when a conflict breaks out is a better resolution. P.However,it is worth the efforts because it results in a deeper friendship. C.For some,counting to one hundred before saying anything may be an option. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项。 My family was in a poor financial situation when I was young.In order to 41 the family,my parents were forced to42a variety of jobs,some of which required them to work nights.43,I spent a great deal of time at my grandparents'home and became especially44to my grandmother,Markland Natalie. 45living in the Arizona desert,my grandmother maintained a garden of herbs and vegetables.I would help harvest the food to make dishes from46found in one of her treasured cookbooks.I still remember the happy memories and life lessons taught to me by my grandmother,many of which took place in the47.
