　　2024高考选练----阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　Born in 1983 in Linyi, Shandong Province, Chen Zhou had an unhappy childhood. When he was only six years old, his parents got divorced. He had to leave his hometown and began wandering at the age of eight. What’s worse, he lost his legs in a train accident.

　　Faced with various difficulties, he never gave up. To make a living, he used to sell newspapers, polish shoes for others, and repair electrical equipment. Anyway, he decided to be a singer in the end. Now Chen Zhou has been a little famous for his songs. “God took my legs away, but I will make them up.” he said.

　　He has strived to achieve more than most able-bodied people would even dream of. He has married and has a beautiful wife and a pair of children. “I can make my life meaningful, though I have no legs.” he said.

　　Chen Zhou is more than a traveling musician. He is a mountain climber, an inspirational speaker and an advocate for the disabled. It is hard enough to climb up a mountain when you have got two legs, but for legless Chen Zhou reaching the summit is an extraordinary achievement, considering he can do so only by using his arms. In fact, he has climbed all of China’s five great mountains including Mount Tai 11 times. To walk up those steps with his arms, he used a pair of home-made wooden boxes that each weighs seven pounds.

　　So far, he has been to more than 700 cities in China and has held over 3000 street concerts. What inspires people most is that he often donates money to those who are in trouble. Chen Zhou, whose story has moved millions of people, has set a good example to us and deserves our respect.

　　“Everyone may get knocked down in life. However, the winners get up no matter how many times they get knocked down. I’ll keep fighting as long as I breathe.” said Chen Zhou.

　　Researchers have identified(确认) the whiffs which they claim make a house a home, with washing powder making up 34 percent. Freshly made toast accounts for another 22 percent, while perfume makes up 17 percent. Other smells which will typically hit you as you step through front doors around Britain include last night’s dinner (10 percent), flowers (12 percent), coffee (5 percent) and pets.

　　Seven percent of Britons—around 1.5 million—claim that a unique smell is what makes their house a home, above the furniture or decoration. Half admit the smell of home makes them feel safe and warm, while it leaves one in 10 feeling worried or upset. A third of people have tried to recreate a certain smell to make them feel more at home. A further third have put off buying a property because of how it smells and three quarters believe you can find out a great deal about a person from the smell of their home. Four in 10 people have avoided visiting someone because of the smell of their home.

　　The study also found that one in five people love the smell of their home so much they want to bottle it and take it with them. Three in 10 wish they could have smells of their own home while on holiday. A further two in 5 would like to smell their living room while out shopping as the smell of home makes a third feel relaxed and stress-free.

　　Professor Tim Jacob, an expert in the psychology of smell, said, “Smells make a house a home because of the positive associations being ‘home’ has. Your home is filled with the things you love—your children, partner, perfume, pets—so when you smell them, you instantly feel better and at ease.

　　People respond(反应) well to familiar smells. Those which are alien(陌生的) make us feel on edge until we’ve identified the source and assessed that it’s not harmful.

　　1. According to the passage, all the following make up the smell of a home EXCEPT ______.

　　A. toast

　　B. perfume

　　C. coffee

　　D. partner

　　2. The underlined word “whiffs” is closest to “_________” in meaning.
