1、 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
We all have experienced the strong link between smell and memory. A whiff of chlorine(一股氯气) probably reminds you of summer pool parties, while the scent of flowers may bring back memories of your grandma's garden. Now, researchers from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) have found that breathing in pleasant smell could even help improve memory and learning.
The study, led by Cynthia Woo, invited 43 healthy adults aged between 60 and 85. The scientists divided them into two groups. The test group(实验组) was provided with some natural oils with different fragrances(芳香). They included orange, eucalyptus(桉树), lemon, peppermint(薄荷), rosemary(迷迭香), and lavender(熏衣草). However, the control group(对照组) only received fewer types of natural oils with different fragrances.
The participants were asked to use one of the scented oils(香精油) to perfume(使...充满香味) their homes for two hours every night for six months. They were also asked to change the fragrances every night.
At the end of the six months, all volunteers took a memory test. The test group outperformed the control group by a shocking 226 percent!
Woo and her team thought that it does not matter when the scents are taken in. However, varying the fragrances is the key. The scientists believe the changes of different smells helps activate (激活) the memory centers of human brains.
A new study has found that certain fragrances may help prevent memory loss in adults. The findings were published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience on July 24,2023. The study also showed that certain fragances could probably also help improve memory in younger people.
The UCI team's next plans are to carry out a similar study on older people who already suffering from memory loss. They are eager to learn if pleasant smells can help reverse(逆转) the memory loss.

C、Smells can remind people of the past memories. D、Pleasant smells helps with people's memory and learning.(2)、What is the result of the study carried out by Cynthia Woo?A、People from the control group had a better memory compared with people from the test group. B、People who used more types of natural oils per night had poor memory. C、The test group's memory test results outstand the control group's.

2、 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
In Gansu province, three generations of workers have worked hard to stop desertification.
Babusha,a big sand dune(沙丘) at the edge(边缘) of the Tengger Desert, was a big cause of sandstorms in the 1980s. The desert destroyed farmland and villages in its south, and affected more than 30,000 people. However, with the effort of"the six old men"and their children and grandchildren, now,a green belt, which is 10 kilometers long and 8 kilometers wide, has been built.
This project is time-consuning. Guo Chaoming and five other villagers first had the idea of renting 5,000 hectares (公顷) of sandy land to plant trees in 1981. Their original goal was to prevent sandstorms from destroying their crops. At the time, Guo, the oldest of the six, was already 61, while Zhang Runyuan, the youngest, was not yet 50.
At first, they planted 667 hectares of saplings (幼苗) . However, after the first sandstorm, no more than 30 percent survived. After countless failure, they successfully thought of the idea of burying wheat straw(埋麦秸) around trees to hold the sand.
Planting trees in desert is difficult, but taking care of them was even challenging. To protect the trees, they chose to live there for years, in a simple shelter they made from wooden poles and straw (木杆和稻草) . They used bricks(砖头) to support a cooking pot(灶台) , drank boiled water and ate steamed buns when hungry.
In the eyes of the six men, the Babusha forest farm became their most valuable possession. Even in the 1990s, when they were lack of money, they didn't cut down a single tree or grass to sell. Time passed by and four of the six passed away. But their children and grandchildren took up the torch and continued their work.
Now, the desert has changed into grassland and forest. The amount of plants has increased from less than 3% to more than 75%. In 2019, "the six old men"and their families were honored"Model of the Times"and"Most Beautiful Fighters" for their hard work.

B、By taking good care of saplings and water them several times a day. C、By keep testing and failing several times.
