　　BADDC 　　分析：　　本文通过一个实验来告诉我们女孩和男性相比较，更能够容忍痛苦。另外气味对人的忍耐力也是有影响的。1.B细节题。根据文章第二段12行Aspeoplebelievethatstrongsmellscanaffectthesensesvolunteerswereaskednottoeatordrinkforeighthoursbeforetheexperimentbegan.可知在试验之前，志愿者很长时间不能吃饭喝东西。故B正确。2.A细节题。根据文章第三段第2行Nowthestudyhasprovedthatforwomenpleasantsmellsreducepain.可知女性在热水中可以容忍的时间更长。故A正确。3.D细节题。根据文章最后2行Nowtheyhavestartedtobelievethatthesenseofsmellalsohelpsbutwhypleasantsmellsdonotreducepaininmenisaquestionstilltobeansweredbyscientists.可知科学家最后也没有给出最终的解释。故D正确。4.D细节题。根据文章最后一段12行Oneexplanationisthatwomen’ssenseofsmelldevelopedlongagoandislinkedtorecognizingthesmellofbabies.可知母亲利用味道来辨别自己的孩子。故D正确。5.C主旨大意题。作者写这篇文章的目的正是为了解释一个科学实验的结果，告诉我们女性对于痛苦可能更能够忍受较长的时间。故C正确。　　考点：　　考察科普类短文阅读　　点评：　　本文通过一个实验来告诉我们女孩和男性相比较，更能够容忍痛苦。本文细节题居多，答题时在文章找到对应的地方，用笔进行标记，这有利于后期有时间检查时可以立刻找到答案的位置。仔细理解作者所讲的意思，再结合选项，通过排除法和自己对全文的把握，选出正确答案。
