For men, there is no change.”可推断出在闻令人愉快的气味时妇女忍受痛苦的时间更长，故A项正确。2From the passage we learn that _.Athe reason why women are sensitive to smells is clearBthe experiment for the sense of smell has come to an endCunpleasant smells affect mens senses more than womensDscientists have not totally explained the result of the study解析：选D细节理解题。根据最后一段中“. but why pleasant smells do not reduce pain in men is a question still to be answered by scientists.”可知科学家没有能够完全解释清楚研究结果，故D项正确。3Now scientists believe that _.Amothers recognize their children only by sightBmens sense of smell developed a long time agoCstrong smells have a great influence on peoples sensesDsmells are helpful for mothers to spot their children解析：选D细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Scientists used to believe that mothers recognized their children by sight only.Now, they have started to believe that the sense of smell also helps .”可知现在科学家们认为气味能帮助妈妈识别自己的孩子，故D项正确。4The writer wrote the passage in order to _.Asupply some entertainment to usBshow womens sharper senses than mensCinform readers of some knowledgeDcall for volunteers for the experiment解析：选C写作意图题。本文介绍了最新研究成果表明令人愉快的气味有减少疼痛的可能性，所以本文的目的是告诉读者一些知识，故C项正确。.语法填空We think that life in Chinese high school is an adventure in which we have to survive mountains of homework and exams.
