As I walked into the George Eastman Museum’s Dryden Theater, I felt as though I had stepped into a time machine. On the way to the traditional, old-timey box office, tons of vintage movie posters and the theater entrance made me feel like I was on Broadway. As everyone took their seats, an older gentleman who looked like he walked straight out of the 1920s gave the attendees a historical background of the film we were seeing-The Barker.
The film itself, which was released in 1928, is considered a “part-talkie”. Before films included synchronized (同步的) sound, films were played with live accompaniment and contained subtitles to add context. With the invention of synchronized sound, films slowly added talking dialogue in scenes throughout the film; these films were considered “part-talkies”.
The Barker, which explores the lives of carnival workers, is the talking debut (首次登场) of all of the main cast. The film was revolutionary not only for the technology but also for the actors. My film experience consists of mostly talkies, so when I finished The Barker, I felt like I witnessed something brand new for the first time.
The experience I had at Dryden Theater was unlike any movie-going experience I had ever had. The music, the film, and the atmosphere itself were completely unique! Since viewing films has gradually been switched to streaming services, especially since the pandemic, this has both increased the accessibility of films and stripped us of reliance on a social experience to watch a movie-one that attending The Barker reminded me of.
“Barbenheimer”, a phenomenon that contrasts the obvious differences in the recently released movies Barbie and Oppenheimer, allowed us to return to the movie-going adventure. Finally, everyone wanted big screens and surround sound rather than the tiny screens in bedrooms. More importantly, we were all able to interact with a piece of content alongside other people. “Barbenheimer” brought back the pastime of going to the cinema-one that I think we should continue to engage in. I say we take a page out of the 1920s playbook and return to the cinema.
4. Who helped the audience know better about the historical background of The Barker
A. A star who was cast in the movie.
B. A man who had a look of the past.
C. An elderly gentleman from the 1920s.
D. A staff member working at the box office.
5. Which of the following is true of “part-talkies”
A. The Barker is a “part-talkie”.
B. “Part-talkies” are totally silent.
C. “Part-talkies” involve live accompaniment.
D The films before The Barker are “part-talkies”.
6. What does the underlined word “stripped” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A Accused. B. Informed. C. Robbed. D. Warned.
7. What does the author suggest
A. Having more big screen experiences.
B. Interacting more with people around us.
C. Engaging in “Barbenheimer” and watching The Barker.
D. Reading more vintage playbooks before watching movies.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者分享了自己去影院观看电影《列兵巴克》的经历,音乐、电影和氛围都带来了独一无二的体验。作者认为在这样的流媒体时代,影院仍然可以给观众带来独特的观影体验,有益于与电影互动,我们应当去影院看电影,拥有大屏幕的体验。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“As everyone took their seats, an older gentleman who looked like he walked straight out of the 1920s gave the attendees a historical background of the film we were seeing-The Barker. (当大家落座时,一位看起来像是直接从20世纪20年代走出来的年长绅士给在场的人介绍了我们正在看的电影《列兵巴克》的历史背景。)”可知,这位看上去来自过去的年长绅士向观众介绍电影的背景,让观众更好地了解它的背景。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The film itself, which was released in 1928, is considered a “part-talkie”. (这部电影于1928年上映,被认为是一部“半有声电影”)”可知,《列兵巴克》是一部半有声电影。故选A项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“Since viewing films has gradually been switched to streaming services, especially since the pandemic, this has both increased the accessibility of films and stripped us of reliance on a social experience to watch a movie-one that attending The Barker reminded me of. (自从观看电影逐渐转向流媒体服务,特别是自新冠疫情以来,这既增加了电影的可访问性,也stripped我们观看电影的社会体验的依赖——看《列兵巴克》让我想起了这一点。)”可推知,通过流媒体观看电影逐渐流行,会让电影更加容易获得,也会导致去影院看电影的机会减少,人们会失去在影院看电影的社交体验,strip sb. of意思是“剥夺某人的……,使某人失去……”,与Robbed意义相近。故选C项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“More importantly, we were all able to interact with a piece of content alongside other people. “Barbenheimer” brought back the pastime of going to the cinema-one that I think we should continue to engage in. I say we take a page out of the 1920s playbook and return to the cinema. (更重要的是,我们都能够与其他人一起与一段内容进行互动。Barbenheimer使去电影院消遣重新流行起来——我认为我们应该继续参与其中。我建议我们借鉴20世纪20年代的剧本,回到影院。)”可知,作者认为在影院观看电影有益于与电影内容的互动,建议大家回到影院,拥有更多的大屏幕体验。故选A项。

Today’s Brussels sprouts(孢子甘蓝) taste better than you might remember from childhood, and that is because a new variety has replaced the original vegetable. You can thank plant breeders for the change. Modem breeders, armed with new gene-editing technology, are looking to reproduce Brussels sprouts’ reinvention.
In the late 1990s, scientists discovered specific chemicals which made Brussels sprouts taste bitter. Plant breeders started growing old seeds, previously abandoned due to poor yields(产量), to look for tastier versions with lower levels of these specific chemicals. Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish.
But other vegetables haven’t fared as well. That’s because most breeding decisions favor plant traits(特性) that matter to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters. For instance, disease resistance is probably the major focus these days of most breeding programs because that prevents the farmer from growing the crop. The taste of vegetables is ignored.
People, however, are now becoming interested in prioritizing the taste of vegetables thanks in part to new genetic technology. “There’s never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques, ” says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University.
Some companies are beginning to use those tools to deal with the challenge of developing tastier vegetables. One company, Pairwise, is fighting the same compounds that troubled Brussels sprouts. But this time researchers are improving the flavor of salad greens.
All vegetable growers hope that more flavorful products on store shelves will convince people to consume the recommended allowances(定量) of fruits and vegetables—and do so better than decades of nutritional guidance have. “Don’t waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better, ”said Harry Klee, a professor who specializes in tomato breeding. “Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat. ”
8. Why did plant breeders grow old Brussels sprout seeds
A. To study why Brussels sprouts are bitter.
B. To research the specific chemicals.
C. To select high-yielding products.
D. To find the less bitter versions.
9. What does the underlined word “fared” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Survived. B. Emerged. C. Mushroomed. D. Succeeded.
10. What can we learn from Susan Brown’s words in paragraph 4
A. The breeding techniques are booming.
B. The breeding techniques need no improvement.
C. The breeders are struggling to develop new species.
D. The breeders should develop new genetic technology.
11. How can fruits and vegetables be consumed more according to Harry Klee
A. By enhancing the taste.
B. By improving the nutrients.
C. By making them more accessible.
D. By telling people the benefits.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了现代植物育种者利用新的基因编辑技术,重新改良了甘蓝的品种,使其味道更好。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In the late 1990s, scientists discovered specific chemicals which made Brussels sprouts taste bitter. Plant breeders started growing old seeds, previously abandoned due to poor yields(产量), to look for tastier versions with lower levels of these specific chemicals.(在20世纪90年代末,科学家们发现了使孢子甘蓝尝起来苦的特殊化学物质。植物育种者开始种植以前因产量低而废弃的旧种子,以寻找含有较低这些特定化学物质的更美味的种子。)”可知,植物育种家种植老球芽甘蓝种子寻找不那么苦的孢子甘蓝。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“That’s because most breeding decisions favor plant traits( 特性 ) that matter to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters.(这是因为大多数育种决定都倾向于对蔬菜种植者重要的植物特性,而不是对吃蔬菜的人。)”可知,此处提到了其他蔬菜不太好即不太“成功”的原因,所以划线词是“成功”的意思。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段““There’s never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques, ” says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University.(康奈尔大学(Cornell University)的苹果育种专家苏珊 布朗(Susan Brown)表示:“现在是水果育种或蔬菜育种的最佳时机,因为我们有更多的工具和技术。”)”可推知,育种技术正在蓬勃发展。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““Don’t waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better, ”said Harry Klee, a professor who specializes in tomato breeding. “Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat. ”(“不要浪费时间谈论如何教育人们吃得更好,”专门研究番茄育种的教授哈里·克利说。“只要给他们提供味道更好、他们想吃的产品就行了。”)”可知,根据Harry Klee的说法,让人们多吃水果和蔬菜的最好方法是提高蔬菜和水果的味道。故选A项。
D
Despite all the efforts students make to graduate with a science major, research has shown that most college science courses provide students with only a fragmented (碎片化的) understanding of fundamental scientific concepts. The teaching method improves memorization of separate facts, proceeding from one textbook chapter to the next without necessarily making connections between them.
With that in mind, we developed a series of cross-disciplinary (跨学科的) activities. In our most recent study, we investigated how well college students could use their chemistry knowledge to explain real-world biological phenomena. To begin with, we interviewed 28 college students majoring in sciences or engineering. All had taken both introductory chemistry and biology courses. We asked them to identify connections between the content of these courses and what they believed to be the take-home messages from each course. The students responded with extensive lists of topics, concepts, and skills that they’d learned in class.
Following that, a set of cross-disciplinary activities were designed to guide students in the use of core chemistry ideas and knowledge to help explain real-world biological phenomena. One activity explored the impacts of ocean acidification (酸化) on seashells. Here, the students were asked to use basic chemistry ideas to explain how the increasing level of carbon dioxide in sea water is affecting shell-building marine animals such as corals and oysters.
Overall, the students felt confident of their chemistry knowledge. However, they had a harder time applying the same chemistry knowledge. The students in our study also reported that these activities helped them see links between the two disciplines that they wouldn’t have perceived otherwise. The ability to make these connections is important beyond the classroom as well, because it’s the basis of science literacy (素养). So we also came away with evidence that our chemistry students at least would like to have the ability to have a deeper understanding of science and how to apply it.
12. What does the present science education fail to do according to the research
A. Extending students’ theoretical knowledge.
B. Involving students in more hands-on activities.
C. Encouraging students to enjoy the learning process.
D. Helping students make cross-disciplinary connections.
13. What can we learn about the student interviewees
A. They have rich academic knowledge.
B. They pay little attention to biology courses.
C. They hardly identify the core ideas of science.
D. They fully understand the importance of their majors.
14. What should students do in the ocean acidification activity
A. Analysing the exact composition of sea water.
B. Studying some unusual phenomena under the sea.
C. Coming up with practical methods to protect marine life.
D. Explaining the effects of carbon dioxide on certain sea animals.
15. What does the author see from the result of the study
A. The challenges existed in chemistry courses.
B. The need to remove the unfairness in education.
C. The potential to promote students’ science literacy.
D. The method of increasing students’ practical skills.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了根据研究,现有的科学教育没有做到教学生在不同学科之间建立联系,文章介绍了一项关于学生学到的知识与应用之间的研究以及研究的结果。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Despite all the efforts students make to graduate with a science major, research has shown that most college science courses provide students with only a fragmented (碎片化的) understanding of fundamental scientific concepts. The teaching method improves memorization of separate facts, proceeding from one textbook chapter to the next without necessarily making connections between them. (尽管学生们都在努力从理科专业毕业,研究表明,大多数大学理科课程对基本科学概念只提供给学生零散的理解。这种教学方法提高了对单独事实的记忆,从教科书的一个章节跳到下一个章节,而没有建立它们之间的必然联系。)”可知,根据研究,现有的科学教育没有做到教学生在不同学科之间建立联系。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To begin with, we interviewed 28 first-year college students majoring in sciences or engineering. All had taken both introductory chemistry and biology courses. (首先,我们采访了28名理工科的大一学生。所有人都学过化学和生物入门课程。)”可知,学生受访者有丰富的学术知识。故选A。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“One activity explored the impacts of ocean acidification(酸化) on seashells. Here, the students were asked to use basic chemistry ideas to explain how the increasing level of carbon dioxide in sea water is affecting shell-building marine animals such as corals and oysters. (其中一项活动探讨了海洋酸化对贝壳的影响。在这里,学生们被要求用基本的化学概念来解释海水中二氧化碳含量的增加是如何影响珊瑚和牡蛎等造壳海洋动物的)”可知,海洋酸化的活动要求学生解释二氧化碳对海洋生物的影响。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So we also came away with evidence that our chemistry students at least would like to have the ability to have a deeper understanding of science and how to apply it. (因此,我们也有证据表明,我们的化学学生至少希望有能力对科学有更深入的理解,以及如何应用它)”可推断,作者从研究结果中看到了提高学生科学素养的潜力。故选C。

The Meaning and Power of Smell
Research into smell has never ended and in fact, there are so many interesting findings with regard to this sensation. Everyone knows that smell can cause strong emotional responses. In a survey, people were asked to report how they feel about a particular monly, a smell connected with a good experience can please us, while an odour (气味) bonded with a bad memory may disgust us. ____16____ Such associations can be so powerful that odours generally labeled unpleasant become agreeable, and those generally considered sweet become disagreeable for particular individuals.
____17____ One respondent believes there is no true emotional bonding without smelling a loved one. Infants recognize their mothers’ odours soon after birth. Individuals were able to distinguish by the smell of clothing worn by their partners from similar clothing worn by other people.
Despite its importance to our emotional and sensory lives, smell is probably the most undervalued sense. While our olfactory (嗅觉的) powers are not as fine as those of certain animals, they are remarkably sensitive. ____18____
Odours, unlike colours, can’t be named in many languages because the specific vocabulary simply doesn’t exist. “It smells like..., we have to say when describing an odour, struggling to express our olfactory experience. ____19____
____20____ Smells considered offensive in some cultures may be acceptable in others. Therefore, our sense of smell is a means of interacting with the world. The study of the cultural history of smell is indeed an investigation into the essence of human culture.
A. Odours are also essential signals in social bonding.
B. Besides, odours are granted different cultural values.
C. Human’s perception of smell facilitates the spread of human culture.
D. Our noses can perceive odours present in extremely small quantities.
E. Nor can odours be recorded: there is no effective way to capture or store them over time.
F. Some people’s preference for a particular odour was influenced by their emotional wellbeing.
G. Yet, many people noted that their olfactory (嗅觉的) preferences were based on emotional associations.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. D 19. E 20. B

“We can visit some of the islands too,” Jane said. “Your dad and I always wanted to explore the mysterious cabin on Moose Island.”
Mysterious cabin The children were now far more interested in this lake holiday idea.
“We might see Big foot,” Tim said.
“Or some unusual species!” Sarah turned to her parents. “We’re in. When do we leave ”
The children’s excitement quickly disappeared when they arrived at the lake. While their parents were carrying their suitcases inside, Timand Sarah stood on the path and stared at the cabin they’d be staying in for the next week, complaining about the smell around, the dust, and the various small insects.
“We’re in nature now, kids. Enjoy the experience! Your dad is building a fire so we can have barbecued fish and potatoes baked in the coals. Isn’t that great ”
Sarah choked. “I am not eating food cooked in coals! I want takeaway instead.”
“Me too.” Tim was about to cry. “Holidays are supposed to be fun, Mom.”
“Come on, guys. There’s a lot of joy to be found in living a simple life and spending time together as a family.”
“People in the suburbs live a simple life, which is more like being homeless!” Sarah shouted
“Yeah,” Tim added. “How can there not be a single restaurant that delivers here How do these people survive ”
“They eat coal potatoes!” Sarah laughed. “And fish they kill with their bare hands!”
Sarah ran away, and Tim followed. Jane buried her head in her hands. She realized she had to do something to correct their children’s attitude towards simple life. After dinner, she told all about this to Tom, who agreed with Jane. Then they came up with an idea.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next morning, Tim and Sarah entered the main room to demand they leave immediately, but neither Mom nor Dad was in there. They looked everywhere for the figure of father and mother, inside and outside, but only to find that they were indeed not here. They began to panic, thinking Tom and Jane had abandoned them. Soon it was noon. Seeing that there was nothing to eat at once, they were desperate. Suddenly they remembered that her parents had said that they could cook barbecued fish and potatoes, so they immediately put into practice, hoping to quickly fill their stomachs. But they could do nothing and it was getting dark.
When Tim was about to fall asleep, he heard the sound of heavy footsteps outside, which were approaching. Tim woke up quickly to see who was coming. He saw his mother and father, waking Sarah up happily. Mom and dad saw their faces were blackened because of coal, moved to hug and praise them, and said “This is a simple life, children. You must enjoy the experience of nature.” And quickly they brought out the barbecued fish and potatoes. This time, they seemed so delicious, which nothing could be compared with.

As I walked into the George Eastman Museum’s Dryden Theater, I felt as though I had stepped into a time machine. On the way to the traditional, old-timey box office, tons of vintage movie posters and the theater entrance made me feel like I was on Broadway. As everyone took their seats, an older gentleman who looked like he walked straight out of the 1920s gave the attendees a historical background of the film we were seeing-The Barker.
The film itself, which was released in 1928, is considered a “part-talkie”. Before films included synchronized (同步的) sound, films were played with live accompaniment and contained subtitles to add context. With the invention of synchronized sound, films slowly added talking dialogue in scenes throughout the film; these films were considered “part-talkies”.
The Barker, which explores the lives of carnival workers, is the talking debut (首次登场) of all of the main cast. The film was revolutionary not only for the technology but also for the actors. My film experience consists of mostly talkies, so when I finished The Barker, I felt like I witnessed something brand new for the first time.
The experience I had at Dryden Theater was unlike any movie-going experience I had ever had. The music, the film, and the atmosphere itself were completely unique! Since viewing films has gradually been switched to streaming services, especially since the pandemic, this has both increased the accessibility of films and stripped us of reliance on a social experience to watch a movie-one that attending The Barker reminded me of.
“Barbenheimer”, a phenomenon that contrasts the obvious differences in the recently released movies Barbie and Oppenheimer, allowed us to return to the movie-going adventure. Finally, everyone wanted big screens and surround sound rather than the tiny screens in bedrooms. More importantly, we were all able to interact with a piece of content alongside other people. “Barbenheimer” brought back the pastime of going to the cinema-one that I think we should continue to engage in. I say we take a page out of the 1920s playbook and return to the cinema.

Today’s Brussels sprouts(孢子甘蓝) taste better than you might remember from childhood, and that is because a new variety has replaced the original vegetable. You can thank plant breeders for the change. Modem breeders, armed with new gene-editing technology, are looking to reproduce Brussels sprouts’ reinvention.
In the late 1990s, scientists discovered specific chemicals which made Brussels sprouts taste bitter. Plant breeders started growing old seeds, previously abandoned due to poor yields(产量), to look for tastier versions with lower levels of these specific chemicals. Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish.
But other vegetables haven’t fared as well. That’s because most breeding decisions favor plant traits(特性) that matter to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters. For instance, disease resistance is probably the major focus these days of most breeding programs because that prevents the farmer from growing the crop. The taste of vegetables is ignored.
People, however, are now becoming interested in prioritizing the taste of vegetables thanks in part to new genetic technology. “There’s never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques, ” says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University.
Some companies are beginning to use those tools to deal with the challenge of developing tastier vegetables. One company, Pairwise, is fighting the same compounds that troubled Brussels sprouts. But this time researchers are improving the flavor of salad greens.
All vegetable growers hope that more flavorful products on store shelves will convince people to consume the recommended allowances(定量) of fruits and vegetables—and do so better than decades of nutritional guidance have. “Don’t waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better, ”said Harry Klee, a professor who specializes in tomato breeding. “Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat. ”
8. Why did plant breeders grow old Brussels sprout seeds
A. To study why Brussels sprouts are bitter.
B. To research the specific chemicals.
C. To select high-yielding products.
D. To find the less bitter versions.
9. What does the underlined word “fared” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A Survived. B. Emerged. C. Mushroomed. D. Succeeded.
10. What can we learn from Susan Brown’s words in paragraph 4
A. The breeding techniques are booming.
B. The breeding techniques need no improvement.
C. The breeders are struggling to develop new species.
D. The breeders should develop new genetic technology.
11. How can fruits and vegetables be consumed more according to Harry Klee
A. By enhancing the taste.
B. By improving the nutrients.
C. By making them more accessible.
D By telling people the benefits.
D
Despite all the efforts students make to graduate with a science major, research has shown that most college science courses provide students with only a fragmented (碎片化的) understanding of fundamental scientific concepts. The teaching method improves memorization of separate facts, proceeding from one textbook chapter to the next without necessarily making connections between them.
With that in mind, we developed a series of cross-disciplinary (跨学科的) activities. In our most recent study, we investigated how well college students could use their chemistry knowledge to explain real-world biological phenomena. To begin with, we interviewed 28 college students majoring in sciences or engineering. All had taken both introductory chemistry and biology courses. We asked them to identify connections between the content of these courses and what they believed to be the take-home messages from each course. The students responded with extensive lists of topics, concepts, and skills that they’d learned in class.
Following that, a set of cross-disciplinary activities were designed to guide students in the use of core chemistry ideas and knowledge to help explain real-world biological phenomena. One activity explored the impacts of ocean acidification (酸化) on seashells. Here, the students were asked to use basic chemistry ideas to explain how the increasing level of carbon dioxide in sea water is affecting shell-building marine animals such as corals and oysters.
Overall, the students felt confident of their chemistry knowledge. However, they had a harder time applying the same chemistry knowledge. The students in our study also reported that these activities helped them see links between the two disciplines that they wouldn’t have perceived otherwise. The ability to make these connections is important beyond the classroom as well, because it’s the basis of science literacy (素养). So we also came away with evidence that our chemistry students at least would like to have the ability to have a deeper understanding of science and how to apply it.
12. What does the present science education fail to do according to the research
A. Extending students’ theoretical knowledge.
B. Involving students in more hands-on activities.
C. Encouraging students to enjoy the learning process.
D. Helping students make cross-disciplinary connections.
13. What can we learn about the student interviewees
A. They have rich academic knowledge.
B. They pay little attention to biology courses.
C. They hardly identify the core ideas of science.
D. They fully understand the importance of their majors.
14. What should students do in the ocean acidification activity
A. Analysing the exact composition of sea water.
B. Studying some unusual phenomena under the sea.
C. Coming up with practical methods to protect marine life.
D. Explaining the effects of carbon dioxide on certain sea animals.
15. What does the author see from the result of the study
A. The challenges existed in chemistry courses.
B. The need to remove the unfairness in education.
C. The potential to promote students’ science literacy.
D. The method of increasing students’ practical skills.

The Meaning and Power of Smell
Research into smell has never ended and in fact, there are so many interesting findings with regard to this sensation. Everyone knows that smell can cause strong emotional responses. In a survey, people were asked to report how they feel about a particular monly, a smell connected with a good experience can please us, while an odour (气味) bonded with a bad memory may disgust us. ____16____ Such associations can be so powerful that odours generally labeled unpleasant become agreeable, and those generally considered sweet become disagreeable for particular individuals.
____17____ One respondent believes there is no true emotional bonding without smelling a loved one. Infants recognize their mothers’ odours soon after birth. Individuals were able to distinguish by the smell of clothing worn by their partners from similar clothing worn by other people.
Despite its importance to our emotional and sensory lives, smell is probably the most undervalued sense. While our olfactory (嗅觉的) powers are not as fine as those of certain animals, they are remarkably sensitive. ____18____
Odours, unlike colours, can’t be named in many languages because the specific vocabulary simply doesn’t exist. “It smells like..., we have to say when describing an odour, struggling to express our olfactory experience. ____19____
____20____ Smells considered offensive in some cultures may be acceptable in others. Therefore, our sense of smell is a means of interacting with the world. The study of the cultural history of smell is indeed an investigation into the essence of human culture.
A. Odours are also essential signals in social bonding.
B. Besides, odours are granted different cultural values.
C Human’s perception of smell facilitates the spread of human culture.
D. Our noses can perceive odours present in extremely small quantities.
E. Nor can odours be recorded: there is no effective way to capture or store them over time.
F. Some people’s preference for a particular odour was influenced by their emotional wellbeing.
G. Yet, many people noted that their olfactory (嗅觉的) preferences were based on emotional associations.

Tom and Jane planned a holiday at the lake, and they decided to take their children, Tim and Sarah, with them. However, Tim and Sarah wanted: to visit Disney World for their holiday or hire a yacht (游艇) in Hawaii. Camping by the lake wasn’t even on their list of holiday adventures.
“We can visit some of the islands too,” Jane said. “Your dad and I always wanted to explore the mysterious cabin on Moose Island.”
Mysterious cabin The children were now far more interested in this lake holiday idea.
“We might see Big foot,” Tim said.
“Or some unusual species!” Sarah turned to her parents. “We’re in. When do we leave ”
The children’s excitement quickly disappeared when they arrived at the lake. While their parents were carrying their suitcases inside, Timand Sarah stood on the path and stared at the cabin they’d be staying in for the next week, complaining about the smell around, the dust, and the various small insects.
“We’re in nature now, kids. Enjoy the experience! Your dad is building a fire so we can have barbecued fish and potatoes baked in the coals. Isn’t that great ”
Sarah choked. “I am not eating food cooked in coals! I want takeaway instead.”
“Me too.” Tim was about to cry. “Holidays are supposed to be fun, Mom.”
“Come on, guys. There’s a lot of joy to be found in living a simple life and spending time together as a family.”
“People in the suburbs live a simple life, which is more like being homeless!” Sarah shouted
“Yeah,” Tim added. “How can there not be a single restaurant that delivers here How do these people survive ”
“They eat coal potatoes!” Sarah laughed. “And fish they kill with their bare hands!”
Sarah ran away, and Tim followed. Jane buried her head in her hands. She realized she had to do something to correct their children’s attitude towards simple life. After dinner, she told all about this to Tom, who agreed with Jane. Then they came up with an idea.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;
