17．A newly discovered ancient Chinese map may prove that it was a Chinese navigator who first discovered America．He may have made the discovery seventy years before Columbus discovered the New World．
The map，which has gone on display in Beijing，is said to be a copy made in 1763 of a much older map dating back to 1418．It clearly describes Africa，Europe and the Americas．If it's proven to be believable，the map would provide strong evidence to suggest that the famous Ming Dynasty sailor，Zheng He，beat Christopher Columbus，who arrived in America in 1492，to the discovery of the New World．
Liu Gang，a Chinese lawyer and map collector，bought the map in an antique store in Shanghai in 2001 for about 500 U．S．dollars．Liu Gang thinks the map supports the thesis of British author，Gavin Menzies，who in his 2003 book argued Zheng He was the first person to circumnavigate（環(huán)航）the globe and discover America sometime between 1421 and 1423． "In principle，the British author Gavin is right．Before Columbus，Zheng He discovered America and the whole world．But in detail，not exactly…three years difference．I don't think that's a big deal． " Liu said．
Zheng He commanded a group of ships，which sailed between 1405 and 1433 at the order of the emperor during China's Ming Dynasty．His aim was to spread the glory of China to the world and establish trade．
（1）We learn from Paragraph 1 that．
A．the writer was proud of an ancient map
B．both the Chinese navigator and Columbus were heroes
C．the ancient map made by a Chinese navigator was just found
D．the Chinese navigator may be the first man who discovered America
（2）Which of the following correctly describes the ancient map？
A．The ancient map on display in Beijing is said to be made in 1418．
B．The ancient map，which is said to be made in 1763，is on display in Beijing．
C．The ancient map was bought by Liu Gang，a Chinese navigator in 2001．
D．The ancient map was introduced to be listed in Gavin' book by Liu Gang to support his idea．
（3）What does the British author in his book try to argue in the passage？
A．The first person who discovered America may be Zheng He．
B．The first person to circumnavigate the globe is not worth discussing．
C．The year when Zheng He discovered America may be between 1421 and 1423．
D．The year when Christopher Columbus discovered America was ahead of 1423．
（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？
A．Ancient Map and Liu Gang．
B．Zheng He，Liu Gang and British Author．
C．Zheng He Spreads the Glory of China to the World．
D．Ancient Map Suggests Chinese Discovered America．組卷：3引用：1難度：0.5 -

19．Researchers continue to show the power behind our sense of smell．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 the unbelievable complexity （復(fù)雜性） 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，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 sense．These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1，000 olfactory （嗅覺） 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．
（1）What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out？
A．The category of food smells．
B．The logical part of human brain．
C．The nature of human olfactory system．
D．The relationship between food and feelings．
（2）Which of the following can help people concentrate？
A．Bread．
B．Fruits．
C．Coffee．
D．Fast food．
（3）What do we know from the last paragraph？
A．Some 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．
（4）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．組卷：3引用：1難度：0.5
