21、A study found that young people have a stronger and more unpleasant scent (气味) than the elderly，while elderly people’s 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 T－shirts 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 people’s 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 people's negative ideas about the old person’s 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，it's possible that other sources of body scents，such as skin or breath，may have different qualities,” said Dr Johan Lundstrom，who led the study.
【1】What do we know from the study?
A．People of different ages give off different scents.
B．People's scent can only be changed by the bacteria on their skin.
C．People show great interest in old people's scent.
D．People's scent can help distinguish a man and a woman.
【2】Which of the following ages of people have the chance to participate in the study?
A．16 B． 77 C．74 D．56
【3】According to the passage, people usually think that________．
A．old people's scent is simply from their breath
B．old people have a bad reputation mainly for their skin
C．old people's scent is terrible and unpleasant
D．old people give off a more pleasant scent
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A．To tell old people how to remove their terrible scent.
B．To prove that people often hold wrong ideas.
C．To show how researchers carried out their study about the scent.
D．To report the findings of a study about people's scent.
22、“Have you checked the oil in the car, Ted?” My father used to say to me. Sometimes our phone calls would begin and end with an only inquiry (询问) about the oil, without asking anything else. Fathers have lots of love to give, but it’s often provided through useful advice. In my experience, it’s mostly about the car.
Why can’t fathers just say “I love you” or “It’s great to see you”? Why can’t the sentences “I care about you” and“ You made my life better from the moment you were born” be heard? Because fathers tend to express their true feelings indirectly. You just have to understand the language — Fatherlish.
When I was 17 years old, I went on my first road trip in that old car. My father stood on the corner on a cold early morning to say goodbye. “Roads are dangerous,” he said, “so don’t try driving faster than a horse. And remember to take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for oil, you really should check the oil.” At the time I thought his speech was pretty funny and old.
Dad’s long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that if I had owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I would have understood that the speech that I always laughed at was simply Dad’s way to express love and care.
【1】What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A．The author wanted to buy a new car badly.
B．The author forgot to check the oil regularly.
C．The author’s father expressed his love differently.
D．The author’s father preferred to make phone calls.
【2】Why does the author mention his first road trip?
A．To show the danger of the trip.
B．To tell a very exciting experience.
C．To explain the rules of driving.
D．To present his father’s hidden love.
【3】Which of the following can best describe the author’s father?
A．Humorous.
B．Caring.
C．Funny.
D．Boring.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．The Fatherlish language
B．The habit of driving an old car
C．Father’s helpful advice
D．Annoying phone calls
23、When I was about 12, I had an “enemy”, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings (缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin; I wasn’t a good student; I talked too much; I was too proud, and so on. At last, I couldn’t stand it. I cried and ran to my father. He listened to me quietly. Then he asked, “Sweetie, are the things she says true or not? Didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and find out the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told. To my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Dad. He refused to take it. “It’s just the case for you,” he said, “you know better than anyone the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of great help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don't shut your ears, listen to them all, but hear the truth only and do what you know is right to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

24、 Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and he fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If he is introduced to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest headed chatterbox ( 喋喋不休的人). He knows that ninety nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure (蜡塑人像).
The aim of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito. But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.
Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people’s ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening, during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time, they just prove themselves to be successful conversationalist.
【1】According to the author, people make conversation to _______.
A.exchange ideas B.prove their value
C.achieve success in life D.overcome their fear of silence

【3】According to the passage, people usually talk to their neighbors _______.
A.about whatever they have prepared B.about whatever they want to
C.in the hope of learning something new D.in the hope of getting on well
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To discuss why people like talking about weather.
B.To encourage people to join in conversations.
C.To persuade people to stop making noises.
D.To explain why people keep talking.
